TOMBSTONE IS SINKING
 FROM 800 FOOT LEVEL
THREE SHIFTS COMMENCED CO
 ING DOWN ON MONDAY.
Water Is We'll Under ControI-Mr. Emanuel Talks of Visit to Reno and Other Nevada Points-Went There to Bond Claims for S5o,ooo.

United States Commissioner Eman- uel. of Tombstone, was a business wis itor in the city yesterday. IT. conver ,sation with a reporter he said he was just back from a two months trip on the coast and over old stamping ground of his Tn Nevada, and that he had not yet had time to learn much about what was going on at home
 One good piece of news I have heard. though continued MT. Eman uel, lis that they have commence sinking on the 500 level over at Tombstone. believe they started yesterday. Three shifts are working, and it is very encouraging indeed. They have the water on he 500 under control. of course, and am told that the pumps are handling the work in such manner that 1t is expected that without doubt sinking will go ahead speedily and without further hind rance. The impression which previ- ously prevailed with the public that sinking would be exceedingly slow when resumed, if headway at all was possible. seems, therefore, to have been entirely erroneous. Yes, we believe firmly over there in the final success of work in the Consolidated mines, and believe that the time is not now far distant when we will again be a great mining camp. Of course there are some dissenters to this opinion scattered about, but the fact remains that the Consolidated people are mak- ing steady headway, and that the ground is not losing values, but on the ether hand is gaining"
 NIT. Emanuel went to Nevada to put under bond for six months to eastern parties mining claims he mas held since 1865. These claims are forty miles from Reno, in the direction Of Carson City. He bonded them fol 3OO00. The ground nas been pat ented for a number of years, but has had small development. It carries promising gold-sllyer iedgCs. Carson City. Mir. Emanuel says, is very dead Virginia City is working about 700 men, but is very far from the lively camp that it was when he visited there ] last in the sixties. Reno since that time has made wonderful strides ane is declared by MT. Emanuel to be al | the present time almost as lively 2 city as Bisbee. The water available there for power and irrigation pur poses gives the town wonderful aid Seven manufacturing concerns of diff ferent character are now operating a | Reno. while Truckee valley agricul tural country tributary to the city i! ! producing great wealth. Alfalfa which sells for s17.5O on the ground per ton, is raised in great quantity, ; yield of three and one-haif tons to th' acre being secured each crop. 1w' crops are harvested in the year.
 The mining industry which ha
 been brought into great prominence il the last few years in the vicinity b, reason of the strikes in Tonopah, Gold field and Bullfrog country, has als' aided Reno to make wonderful DIG | gress. Reno is now a City of man, fine buildings and much industry. Or
 the occasion of his last previous visii
 in '69, there was one house and on
 inhabitant at the townsite.
 Speaking of the Goldfeld-Tonopal Bullfrog country. MT. Emanuel sai yesterday that he had personally vi!
 tied neither of the camps. From wha
 he gathered from people he met wit
 who had been into the camps h
 came to conclusion that there wer many more people at all the place
 than there was immediate need fol and that it would soon become a cas
 of the survival of the Attest. Prevai
 ing opinion at the present time seen
 ed to be to the effect that Bullfro
 is the great camp of the trio. Tru Assure veins have been found ther'
 Northing of the sort has been secure

 theory that this camp is a wash proI

 is divided as to how this will result.
