. over a dozen claims upon which noth ing but title work has been done anC which as a general proposition, looks 1 favorable.
 This Mascot property is next neigh bor to the Larrieu property and as i development advances, a remarkable similarity in every respect seems tl gather.
 They are, at present the leading propositions in the district by virtue of the fact that they are the best developed.
 This is the new company organized in Tombstone among representative business and professional men of the county seat.
 The personnel of the company is guarantee that legitimate ends are in view. James Heron an old and honored citizen of the cosnty, thor oughly experienced in every local in dustry, is president. Frank Hare, who has shared the confidence of the peo pie of Cochise county for years and who has demonstrated that public faith in his rectitude and ability has never been misplaced. is one of the chief promoters.

 This new proposition is situated about 16 miles due west of Fairbanks near Mescal Springs. A wagon read can be made to a point directly under the main shaft, while driving is not difficult to that point without road
 The property consists at present of 20 claims, and may include more al any time.
 The ground is of a slightly ITS 2 character, and well adapted 10 de velopment work. Judging from the general nature of the surroundiE2 country, no water would be encounter CT above 500 feet. and levei wori would relieve the situation as low as 200 feet. The surface formation is blue limestone, pure and simple witt liberal evidences of iron and occasion ally porphyry dykes.
 The most promising point in the group is on a lime and porphyry con tact, where the soft formation give. an interesting assay.
 The shaft. when l visited the proper ty was about s feet in depth. | had opened a small subterranean cav ern of some proportions, and had de veloped a streak of soft matter run ming high in copper and silver. The bottom of the shaft was in a hard for nation, spots and nuggets of ore, run ming high in copper and silver con stanuy occurring. The streak of car bonates which appears about enc foo wide on the east side of the shaft assumes the proportions of three foo ledge on the opposite side, but be ing on an incline and the shaft beins vertical, it leaves them at about Il feet
 Six small surface explorations have been made within a radius of POI feet of the shaft and in every in stance. the prevailing formation whict is either limestone or pOrphyry has been libeTally sprinkl ed with mineral usually in the form of blue bromid, of silver and carbonates of copper running according to assay as an average about 100 oz. silver and ]. per cent copper.
 As high as He oz. silver and 29 pel cent copper has been obtained.
 As already shown, development work has barely started out, but for nation, locality, surface indication, and every element that appeals to th, cOld-blooded mining man. are all il prominent evidence to the good or the La Rita.
 The rumor of the discovery of cin nabar on the La Rita has never bee: confirmed. but all conditions surround ing the property make it one of excer | tional interest.
