 D. J. Sullivan came up from the
 United Gold Mines company property a few days ago and brought up some ore from the bottom of the shaft, which is down close to 275 feet, says the Journal-Miner. The ore is the hnest looking Of anything that has been seen from that property as yet, and shows every indication of perma. nency. It was taken from the shaft about 20 feet below water level and an assay of the ore gave $265 value per ton. Mir. Sullivan is highly pleased over the ore that has been in the shalt since water level was reached, as 1t is just the character that was antic. pated.
 The Era was this week presented with handsome specimen of ofcarbonate ore taken from a new strike on one of the claims owned by the Chase creek company which are located on Coro- nado mountain, adjoining claims of the Coronado Copper company. The vein so far uncovered is about three and half feet wide. the ere averaging about fifteen per cent copper aud also carrying considerable iron. The strike Is considered of much importance to that section of the district. The Chase Creek company management con tenn. plates doing considerable amount of work on the property. The vein upon which the strike was made runs through three of the company 's claims and also through claims owned by the Coronado company Copper Era
 The Review reports an important strike of mineral in the Bisbee West, 70 feet from the new shaft underneath the iron dyke which crosses the prop erty. The ledge is said to be 10 feet wide aud the ore runs l5 to Is per cent copper. The Review adds: The old shaft is down 75O feet, and with the finding of the real thing in the new, work will be prosecuted with all the energy now. The new pumps have ar- rived aud are ia the Bisbse depot now awaiting tD be hauled to the property. They have capacity of 800 gallons, and will be amply able to take care of all the water that may be encountered. Thus gradually are the properties of the Warren district which have been banked upon to make good coming in and renewing the energy which pre- vails in this the best mining emp in the United States.
 The Commonwealth Mining company has no intention of abandoning its at Pearce as result of the recent disastrous cave-in which caused a suspension of work at that famous At Pearce It is understood a contract was let to Messrs. Myers & Barnes of Pearce for 300 feet of drift ing from the 400 foot l?vel of it's prop erty. The work is to be directed westerly from the main staft and it is thought the company will let other equally important contracts and de- velop several promising properties of It's group. The fact that initiatory work looking to the reopening of this has begun is regarded as B most encouraging sign among the residents of Pearce who are hopeful of the early resumption of work on the scale heretofore operated by the Com Tombstone Prospector.
