Fl PaSo Parties
 EVIDENTLY HAVE
 A Great Mine
SOME ORE GOES MANY THOUSAND
 DOLLARS PER TON.
Samples Brought to Bisbee Yesterday by Part Owner Of Property, That Experts Say Are the Finest Shown Here in Long Time-company Now Developing It's Land.

Samples of gold and silver bearing mineral from the Esmeralda Gold Min ing and Milling company's property. located about fifteen miles in an east | erly direction from the railroad sta | ton of Cos, district of Moctezuma Sonora, Mexico. attracted a great deal of attention yesterday at the offices of Morrow & Mackenzie, of the Mines Exchange, and experts here say they are the finest and richest that have been seen here in long time. They were brought to Bisbee by J. P. Ear hart. who is a part owner of the prop erty,, and if there is any considerable f, quantity of the same sort Of mineral on the company's lands. those interest ed certainly have a bonanza
 MT Earhart brought the samples 10 this city for the purpose of demon sirating the possible future of the mine it is proposed to thoroughly de- .velop, and thereby interesting parties in the proposition and disposing cf a limited amount of the stock to secure funds for development purposes. Only a small amount of the stock will be disposed of, as the parties most heav- lily interested feel confident that they have good thing, and do not wish to rid themselves of a greater portion than is necessary to equip the mine so as to prove its exact value
 One of the largest pieces Of mineral brought here by MT. Earhart is about one foot square. It is a piece of quartz heavily charged with free gold
 It weighs about forty pounds, and its value is at least eight hundred dollars Smalerl particles broken from the ledge at the mine are richer still.
 Mir Earhart said of the development work already done on the property. that "a tunnel 25O feet has been driven pn the vein, giving a depth of twenty feet, and cross-cut of forty feet has been driven to erach the vein. making the length of the tunnel from the mouth to breast 290 feet At seventy seven feet from the mouth of the tun- nel an upraise has been made to the surface, a distance Of fiftyfour feet- Through the entire working both tie foot and hanging walls are well de
 fined and apparently in place The vein between the walls on the surface |, is twenty inches. and in the tunnel where the upraise enters it is seven feet wide; farther along the tunnel it varies from three to six feet wide. and will average more than four feet throuhCut the tunnel
 Throughout the upraise we enccun- tered very rich ore, which is still in place on either side, as we'll as in the bottom of the tunnel under the rp- raise. The ore of this upraise has been sacked and is now at the railroad station at Cos, and ere buyers have offered to advance s1 800 on five tons of ore stored there. Assays of the ore from various portions of the tun- nels and upraises have run very high. and we are positive that We have enoug mineral in sight that will aver age sufficiently high to give us very neat sum. But in order to have this ore treated so as to reap the largest profits we should have a reduction plant. and also additional money for developing. It is for this reason that We are offering some of the tock at a very low figure"
 Fl Paso parties are officers in the Esmeralda company, B. F. Hammett, of that city, being president; J. P. Earhart. vice president; ST. Escajeda, secretary, and H. M. Patterson, treas urer and general manager. These men, with J. A. Baird and Lee Harlan, form the board of directors.
