The Tombstone Go,

The mining work of the T. c. M.Co. is
 progressing most satis factoriiy. The
 ore shipments to the Fl Paso smel,ers
 average four carloads daily, while the | ore rereserves in the various miues are
 being blocked out for economic aud
 convenient handling when the stamp
 nill and cyaniding plane shall be in
 readiness for operation. In this con,
 nectioD 1t is known that the company expects shortls to increase the capac
 i'y of the present Girard mill to 40 stamps and erect a cyanide plant in conjunction. The extensive ore tests made have proven satisfactory. and the plans for the treatment of the large ore reserves have been decided upon. The com pany owns the Grand Central mill on the river, and twenty stamps are to be brought here and added to the Girard mill. This mill is conveniently located on a group of mines belonging to the com pauy, aud
 he handling of ores can be accom- plished tt a minimu um@ cost. It is thought that within few months vhe work will be under way and the music of the stamps will again echn about tha Ton bstOne hills. The installation of the third large pnmp, at the 800 foot level Is progressing as fast as practical. The large column pipes are on hand, and other fittings are being shaped, while it is confidently expected that by Septem Der l the pump will be in active operation and the pumping re- cord increased from three million 10 five million gallons daily.
