peared to have great greediness for
gold, yet no sooner was it in his pos

it in all directions.

with the poll of a pick or sledge
hammer. Even then their were many
Jumps which it was necessary to
pound in a mortar and soon much of
the ore began to assume the form of
a tolerably firm rock, when it became
necessary to work it in an arasta.

ployed there expect to tap the ledge

While out in the Huachucas last week. blowing through the fluffy cover let Of celestial feathers that OCT spreads the slope of those imposing mountains, and shaking hands with the festive silver tip, we had the honcr of becoming acquainted with MT. and Mrs J. w. Stump. who have been in Cochise county since MonteZuma was a school boy. Among other properties in that interesting range, NIT. Stump has located a marble quarry. He locat- ed it more for an excellent spring than auythig else, but investigation de Ve'oped that it contained a bread dyke Of as fine white marble as was ever seen on board the cars, speci- men of which can be seen at the Re view office. The marble has been pYonounced first class by competent experts. l. also produces a fine quail ty of lime and plaster of paris, when burned. MT. Stump has not quarried the marble deep enough yet to get at the solid seamless article, but depth would doubtless secure that result Mr. Stump is a prominent officer ID f1re Huacnuca Consolidated Develop ment company and with his worthy better half, enjoy a sunny home al the n,outh of Ash canyon.
