to place the large foundation stones
and begin masonry work to receive the
mammoth engine. At the co. foot

Since the recent discovery of ore
uine miles from Wilcox, under the two
heads known As "Dos Cabeza-," great
deal of excitement is prevalent in vii.
cox. Inas much as the new strike is
several yards away from the old Casey
mine, parties bonded the property for
3i.1n s aud they have been working on
it for about three months; they have
now an offer of % ,00IS for the prop
erty, with 50,0OOS cash and the balance
in three, six aud twelve months. This
will enable them to pay off their bond
ed Indebtedness, still retain their
mines and be l5,D 0s ahead. Many and
various propositions have been made
the management since the discovery,
but they have all been discarded ex

From reports received, the Black
Warrior acid plant is proving pro-
nounced success, they having manu-.
factured about twenty five tons of sui
phuric acid last week. The ore now
used for making acid is being shipped
from Bisbee, "a it is all that could be
desired for acid making, and suffici
ent supply can always be obtained
There are, however, a nun Der Of min
lug claims in this district that contain
ore with acid making qualities, but are
not at present sufficiently opened up
to insure large supply continuously.
yet some of them will soon be in shape
to furnish limited amount. 1t is now
expected that the teaching plant will
be put in operation within short time
on the ore from the company's mines
in that vicinity.-Silver Belt.
The progress of development on the
Rather, near Florence, in the eight
mouths since the work was started, has
been rapid aud the result very satisfac
tory. The mine is opened by the Sis
son encline shaft to the depth of
feet and by levels of considerable ex
tent at 100 and 20J feet from the sur.
face At the first level tunnel from
the east driven on the lead lS0 feet,
connects with the shaft. drift has
been run west from the shaft l6l feet,
showing bunches of fine carbonate ore
in iron the entire distance, varying
from to Il per cent. A cross-cut
from the first level station toward the
south, run for the purpose of cutting
the south lode, is in forty feet aud is
nearing the lead. A Leyner air dnll
is being used for this work and is max
ing an average of seven and a half
linear feet for each eight hour shift.
From the second level station drifts,
each about 81 feet, rnn east aud west
on the lode, and show II per cent. oxi
died ore their entire length The lead
is on the upper level and shows much
more ore of better grade, and will turn
out good smelling product. A Ley
ner drill is used in the development of
this level, also. A cross -cut, now 60
feet long, is being ruu toward the south
lode. At the depth of o feet in the
shaft station is being cut is solid sui
phide ore averaging l. per cent. cop

nit, machine drill will be used on
the third level, and sinking will be re.
sumed immediately after the station
has been cut.--Arizona Blade
