 The Rents are showing an amount of perseverance, in the development of the LOttie mine in Big Bug d S. tric,, that IS deserving of success and If indications count for anything they will realiza 1t. They have for some time been engaged m running B tunnel in on the ledge of the Lot tie mine. It is contemplated to run 1t about a mile, or from 5000 to 6000 feet. One thousand feet of It has already been completed. Near the surface several ora chutes art known to exist which will be struck by this tunnel, which cuts the formation as deep as 900 feet below the surface at oue point. The tunnel Is for the double purpose of opening up the mine to a greater depth and at the same time to furnish drainage for the mine, as thIs IS one ut the wet mines of Arizona It was 10 this property that a flow of water was en countered about a year ago, in 200 foot shaft thSt could not be con trolled by the pumps, the shaft fl ling with water. As there are number of properties in the vicinity of this mine which are not supplied 1 with an abundance of water, it IS l claimed that the water alone will | pay a handsome dividend ou the | cost oi the work. But as stated the 1 indications are that the work when | will see a big mine opened up, as 1t IS claimed by expert 1 engineers that the Lottie lode is the mother Sein of that entire country.

They are work ng four tanks with a capacity of ninety tons each, but 1t is slow work n account of lack of water. The Vater IS pumped out of the mine. They are getting ready to start up york on both shaft and encline. They are both down 250 feet, the eepest workings in the mime, but . be incline is 600 feet long, the veins aving 8 dip of 36 degrees.
