The oid Mesa.

On this property. which adjoins the Poland cOmpany's mines, the work of driving tho long tunnel. which is to intersect the old Mesa ledge at great depth, continues uninterruptedly, and is now into the mountain for a distance of AGO feet. A new contract has just beet let to drive it in 400 feet further, at which point it is expected to cut this rich geld bearing ledge This ledge has produced $i0000 in free gold. and that
 too. at a depth of less than T5 feet from the surface. The company is very sanguine in their belief that when they hit the ledge with their long tun- nel they will have one of the best free milling propositions in the county
 From this claim there have been taken chunks of ere of the size of an apple that show one-third pure gold. Ore that has also been milled from this claim gave returns from $25 to S125 per ton in free gold. The future develop ment of the property is awaited with considerable interest. the ground being considered by miners as among the
Arizona republican., 1903-11-25
Merchants Mining Company.

The main shaft on this we'll known property has reached Q depth of 300 feet, and the work is being prosecuted on the First Home claim of the group. At the level al this point a large body of milling ore has been struck. but the shoot of higher grade ore has not as yet been reached. Work is being pushed with reasonable dili- gence and the property has never look ed better at this depth than it does at the present time. The ledge is large and well defined, being eight feet across between walls, the mineral be- ing well disseminated throughout the entire width of the vein. This body of ore is of grade that will not bear shipment of the crude. and the com pany will not be able to handle the some until a concentrating plant is placed on the ground and which they are in hopes of introducing at a not distant day. Ii may be conservatively stated that the company's interests are excellent and development to greater depth will be continued.

The Bunker Hill.

One of the most successful mining enterprises under headway today is that of the Bunker Hill Gold Mining company, whose locations lie on the Divide between the Jessie and the Bannie mines, and as development progresses the higher the ground is rated as among the most desirable To- cations in that neighborhocd. At pres ent the principal work is confined to sinking a shaft and running a tunnel the former being down to a depth of 200 feet, while the latter is in Cn the vein 300 feet Both are in fine ore, and a general sample gives values of 90 inches at S60 per ton. This vein lies between walls of granite and porphyry,' and the immense width of .he ledge attracts attention and comments the property.
 An excellent feature also of this ground is that in its development work to date and for the future. the tunnel now being driven runs on the vein, and when completed will not vary in this respect and it will also. hit the vein at a depth of 300 feet thus work ing the entire group of eight claims in such an economical and practical manner that insures success. The Bunker Hill claims lie on a Assure dis tinctive from any in that neighborhoOd, and the work being done today is the first practical consideration they have ever received, although the ground is among the earliest to be located in that region. Ore shipments have been made and from one hundred tons the returns were excellent. this fact prob ably being the incentive that prompts the general exploring of the ground The statement is generally made and is believed that in a very few months this property will be found among the most desirable in that locality, and if indications at the points already open ed, together with what deeper work ings will show, are to be considered. this prediction will be more than full filled. A force of fourteen miners are at work, all that the ground is at pres ent capable of admitting. The com pany is incorporated, it's management being in the hands of F. Kaufman. who is also president. and he is per sCnally on the ground.

The Cleveland.

Located below the Jessie and about one mile distant to the north east is the above location. Work here has been resumed of late and the in- tention is to sink to a depth of 300 feet immediately. Some of the highest grade ore ever taken from any claim in the Chaparral country is to the credit of this property, and as work progresses the belief prevails that it will prove to be one of the best mines in that section. Machinery has also been ordered and the general opening uD to the property will follow. F. r. Swan. a Kansas City mining man, has bond on the property. and by him is the work being prosecuted

GALvEsToNs SEA WALL.

One-third of Galveston's three
miles Of see wall is completed 4
Construction began on October |
27, 1902. 1t is expected that the
entire wall will be finished within
the next eighteen months.
After the people Of Galveston
shook off the horror of the calamity
of September $1,000, they set about
to find means TO prevent its repeti
ton. They do not expect another
tidal wave, but they seek to be pre-
pared for one. Public meetings
we're held and bonds voted for a sea
wall thee miles long and seventeen
feet high, which is thirteen feet a.
bove mean tide water and one and
three-tenths feet above the highest
point reached by the water that de
stroyed the city III 1900. The
plans provide for a wall sixteen feet
wide ar the bottom and FIVE feet
wide on top, with a curved face al
the bottom merging into a vertical
face near the top.
The wall proper is made Of gran
ite concrete, on a base Of piles.
These piles are round and driven
from forty TO forty-four feet to the
clay subsuatum and faced with
sheet-piling driven to the same
depth The concrete is built up on
the pile base. The rip-rap used
consists Of granite blocks from two
hundred to one thousand pounds iu
weight The rip-rap is piled three
feet high for twenty-seven feet out.

made Of crushed granite and sand
with water and cement added. Ii

granite, practically. The Conn
ty Commissioners bought q
right Of way for one hundred
feet back of the wall which viii be
illed to level with the top Of the
wall. On this ten-foot sidewalk
and a forty foot driveway will be
built. The rest Of the space will
be parked. 1t is expeced that
the bond issue of 81, SOC, 900 will
be sufficient to pay for the wall
and for the improvement Of
the right of way. The sea-wall
enterprise brought about a
movement for raising the grade
