 Cold Property that Has Become
 World Famous fer it's Ricn Ore.


 Cold Property that Has Become World Famous fer it's Ricn Ore Work continues in a progressive manner at the Fl Tigre mine and reg ular shipments of the different classes of ore continues to come down from the mine and is unloaded and stored at the warehouse of the company at Turicachi. Some sixty men are now employed as miners on the Tigre prop erty in development work. and over one hundred Mexicans are working on the wagon road from the Benton ranch to the mine The recent heavy rains in the lower country has caused the rivers 10 flow over their banks and the Bavapispe or better known as the northern yaqui has been running %ild for several weeks. The Fl Tigre company had a large scow used as ferry boat with heavy wire cable attached to pull it from each bank and have been using this means of transportation 10 cross the river.
 
 freshets at night the boat broke away from its moorings and was car ried down the river for over a mile and the present mode of operating be- tween the mines and the station is by way of pack animals. which have some difficulty in fording the rushing torrents. At the mine Superintend- ent DeCamp, who has worked for the largest gold producers in Colorado, aad made the record for the famous Rertland mine in Cripple Creek, is pushing the development work and taking out good ore every day. He hopes to increase the force of miners Sst as soon as possible. and the com- .h;, N>of the wagon road to the mine $ta1.fe him to haul machinery wht& ~G e.-eatly facilitate the devei- 'SmmeSc, work Last week a large Sn6g. p3mp was hauled to the river Mp Huricachi and two 50 horse pow ef Mlers are now at the station wait ing tS be pulled up to the crossing and transported to the mine.
 ' At the warehouse in Turicachi the company has about three car loads of ore. one car of the rich ore which goes up in the thousands and another car of the second class ore. last sunday sixty burros came in from the mine in two pack trains loaded down with ore from the mine. and put it in the warehouse at Turicachi.
 Briefly the Fl Tigre or Lucky ri ger. section is described as follows by one who has made the trip to the new gold camp and has seen the different claims as marked off in the sketch shown on this page:
