probably working as many as 15O or
 more men at the same time. Upon the
 new purchase about $2,OO0 worth of de- velopment work has been very sue i cessfully accomplished, exposing some fine bodies of ore and leaving a hand some tonnage on the dump to be work ed. The showing made by the com pany in the last year or two on it's own grounds has been quite wonderful and is a guarantee that it will soon | be compelled to erect a plant for the handling of it's immense output of ores. Superintendent Rosecrans of the | Standard company's properties OnChase | Creek, has closed down the tramway for a few days while the towers are being strengthened and the work put l in better and safer condition. In the
 deepest workings a five foot vein of ore
 has been uncovered which will average about thirteen per cent copper. This vein stands nearly vertical and if it is continuous it will afford an immense tonnage of good milling ore. A suff1- cient amount of work has not yet been done on the vein to enable Judgment to | be passed on it's extent. The first ship ment is now being made from the Cop per Center claims and another ship
 ment is now ready from the San Jose mines.

 The shipments of ore from the 1 Tombstone district are increasing ev- cry week. For the month of July there
 were shipped to the smelters at Fl
 Paso 143 carloads of high grade ores. while during the proceeding month there were 134 carloads went out. Superintendent Walker-of the Tomb stone Consolidated Mines company is
 at Congress this week on an inspection
 of the company's property at that point
 Sixteen mining locations were filed in
 the recorders office at Tombstone dur ing the last three days of last week. Charles Hanson has just returned to Douglas from visit to his Monte Visto mine across the line in old Mexico. The development work which was started on this property a month ago, is pro- gressing satisfactorily with a force of from twelve to fifteen men. The pres ent work is ir a tunnel which is in 14O l feet; three shifts of miners are kept | on the work of drifting. When the
 tunnel reaches a length of 25O feet it | is expected that the vein which crops out across the surface of the claim will be cut. From the character of the | ore MT Hanson returned with it may | be expected that the venture MT. Han- | son has made across the line will be- come an important producer and sup ply Douglas with an increased trade
 as we'll as profit to its owner.

 | The big Minnesota ConnOr mine
 at Chloride is to have a large air com
 pressor and machine drills are to be
 nut in at once. The ground now under development is looking better than for
 a long time past, some extremely hard n through in that time. The mine and
 work is under the superintendency of F. H. Griffith, who is operating for a ! company that has an option on tht property
 The German American mill met with | a serious mishap in the drying up oi the water with which to operate the mill. Up to this time the works were
 making a fine output of gold bullion and the dividends were running high
 The Midnight mine in Wallapai dis l trict, which has lately been placed un- | der a lease and working bond to com- pany is to have a new gasoline hoist ing plant and the under workings of the property unwatered when develop ments are to commence with a good force of miners The PInkham mine l on a parallel vein half a mile away and under lease and bond to the same l company as the Midnight. is hOisting water and getting ready to sample the | property.
 The Fay mine, below Kingman, is having a new steam hoist erected and
 within a few days will begin the active
 operation of sinking 25O feet. The \ work so far has been in a good grade | of milling ore.
