tract for sinking so feet on the property
of the Silver City Turquoise company,
located about one and one-half miles
northeast of the mines of the South
western Copper company at Burros,

encountered some good turquoise stain

property are feeling correspondingly
encouraged. Cross-cutting will be done
at the 50-foot level. The company is
also sinking a winze in the SO-foot
drift which has already attained a
depth of twenty feet and will be sunk
