DESCRIPTION OF Fl! !!!GRE

tinues to attract attention and IS freely discussed on the streets. IL is no exaggeration to say that the unan- imous opinion of those who have wis tied the property and others who are familiar with the district, that the Fl Tigre mine will prove rich gold bo- nanza and become big dividend pay CT from the beginning. The property has suddenly pumped into prominence and in fact very little was known about it three weeks ago, outside of the fact that ore assaying thousands st dollars to the ton had been discov- TTTed.
 Yesterday a Review reporter secur- ed a full description of the property which is embodied in report made by J. E. Suits, E. NJ, who is at pres ent on the ground, to B. F. Graham Co. of this city, under date of Febru- ary Sth. For the information of local stockholders and intending investors, the Review produces this report in full:
 San Miguelito, February Sth, 1903. B. F Graham. Esq. Bisbee, Ari- zona: Dear siT-Pursuant to your re quest, respectfully submit the fol- lowing description report on the Ti- gre Suertudo and La Combination mining claims.
 The Tigre Suertudo claim is owned by myself, A. c. Riordan. liar " Stine. J. A. Taylor and E. M. Sturges, but was titled in favor of and is he'd in trust by John F. Hohstadt, who is a Mexican citizen. The claim is located about fifty miles south of the line between the United States and Mexico and with the twenty league zone, in the state of Sonora. Mexico, municipality of OputO, district of MOctezuma. and about thirJy-hye miles east of the railroad station of TuTiCachi on the NacOzari railroad. l. has a superficial extent of 66 per tsnencias or hectaras, which IS eduiva- lent to 163 acres.
 The La Combination claim is a north extension of the 'Tigre Suer- tudo.' It is owned by Alex Grant, E. D. Suits and c. H. Suits. It is titled and held under the same conditions as the 'Tigre Suertudo' claim. It has a superficial extent of 50 pertenencias or hectaras, which is equivalent 10 14S.2 acres. These claims are on the western slope of the Sierra de Teras at an elevation of about 5,00G or 6.OO0 feet. I accompany sketch showing relative position Of locations.
 Titles were issued by the Mexican government 10 the above named claims on the 9th day of November last. They were acquired in good form, and without any opposition hay ing been presented within the term stipulated by the Mexican mining laws. or since
 There are two veins on these claims. The west vein being called the No 1 vein, and the vein the No. 2. The formation is porphyry. The No. l vein has a foot wall of quartz porphyry. The vein filling is com posed of quartz and porphyry. The No. l vein does not crop on south end of 'Iigre Suertudo' claim and crops for about 600 meters-196S feet -on the north end and continues on through the La Combination claim being covered in parts by debris on the steep mountain side. The No. 2 vein, which is the most prominent, runs the full length of both the claims, and is traceable more than three miles on the surface. No substantial development work has been started as yet, the main object being. up 10 the present time, to extract ore from the surface. Sixty tons of shipping ore extracted give returns of 400 ounces silver and 21R ounces gold per ton, and 300 tons of second class ore extracted gave on a ten ton mill test: 167 ounces silver and 160 ounces gold per ton
 There is an abundance of pine tim. Der for mining purposes on the ground. There is permanent water on the 'Tigre Suertudo' claim, and with z littla development there would probably be sufficient for milling pur- poses. There is a possible wagon road to within six miles Of the claims aL present This road follows the beds of arroyos on both sides Of the Oputo river and is affected by all heavy rains. It will probably be convenient to build 8 good road OF the high ground. that is. following low ridges. In conclusion will say that throughout the Sull length Of these claims, both veins show very high grade gold and silver ores and an abundance of milling grade ore from one to ten feet in width. The ore is adapted to concentration and amalgamation treatment. the conceu- trates being a shipping product. Tailings would probably have to be treated by cyanide. Yours very truly.
