MINING ACTIVITY IN
 TOMBSTONE DISTRICT
Operations of the Consolidated and
 Other Nearby Properties.

The work of getting three new ma rine boilers in shape is progressing rapidly at the big shaft of the ConsOl- dated Mines Go. All of the boilers have been put in place. the stacks ad- justed and the steam connections made. With plenty of power from the boilers. and the pumps ready to handle over 100000 gallons every twenty four hours. everything looks encour- aging for a most successful battle for the unwatering of the mines.
 At the mill at the present there are running twenty-five stamps, and next week will see others dropping. Four new cyanide tanks will be put in com mission on Monday. Mechanics are at work fixing up the battery on the east side, putting on new shoes, etc, and will complete the work so that they can be used early next week. 4 force of carpenters is at work building an extension to the Hume that carries off the waste from the mill The course of the Hume has been changed and taken around the old Toughnut dump and from there will be built to a point below Superintendent Walkers residence where the big dike crosses the gulch. This is made necessary on account of the water seeping back through the Toughnut workings, and besides causing trouble there would eventually have to be rehandled by the pumps. The output of the mill has kept up to the standard for the past month and the cleanup has been all that could be expected. The concen- trates shipped to Fl PasO continue to give most satisfactory results. and with all of the stamps going will make a most excellent showing. The mill since being started up has more than exceeded expectations and has proved a paying proposition at a milling cost of about $1 per ton.
 Outside of the Consolidated company properties there is considerable activ- ity in the camp. Word comes from the Lucksure, upon. which work was re- sumed recently, that a good body of high grade ore had been discovered. The work of fixing up the shaft is pro- gressing rapidly and things are assum- ing excellent shape for a long and steady run.
 The Herschall continues to keep its force at work and has made several good shipments during the past few weeks, some very rich ore having been taken out.
 Messrs. Briggs and Brewster are stip at work on the Randolph property and are meeting with good success. They are taking out manganese ore of good grade.
 The old Glory property, under the direction of Will TomlinsOn. is work ing a small force of men and it is ex- pected that shipments will be made from the property soon.
 Now that the title has been cleared up on the Metallic, Accident, Townsite and Alta, owned by Messrs. Payla and Carlevata, it is their intention to begin some extensive development work. The property is in a good section of the camp and should develop into a good producer.
 During the past week Gus Baron has had his title to the Independence mine, in this district cleared up, aud the former company now has no interest in the property Resumption of work On the property is among the early proba bilities.
 Johnny Rainey has discontinued work on his property near the Emerald for the present and is doing some as- sessment work on his claims near the Lucky Cuss Parties from the east are expected out soon to make an eXami- nation of his property with a view of taking a bond on the same.
