and has commenced work upon the
same. The ore nuns we'll in lead and
silver, some of the former as high as

B. S. Tipton and partner of Duncan

Cottonwood, upon which they have
done "a considerable amount of devel-
opmenlt work. Their snnelter returns ON
high grade Gre gave them 26 per cent
copper, S5 ounces silver and 50 gold per
ton. Their second class went Is IL per
cent copper, 10 1-2 ounces silver and "
gold per ton, while their third class
| would concentrate at the mine at a
profit.
THE west end of the we'll known Jim
| Grow lode ait Carlisle has recently been
Ilocated by s. w. Massey of Duncan and
A. A. Anderson of Chiffon. They are
now doing their location work. They
have already uncovered a vein of cop
per ore carrying both gold and copper,
GIN spur of the main lead. They have

made by tine company is a 1O-stamT
mill, which was rum for short time,
