crease the output of the mill consider
ably. Several more large cyanide
tanks are to be erected and the capac-
ity of the plant nearly doubled. Re
port says the number of miners is be-
ing increased rapidly. The camp as a
consequence of these material improve
ments has begun to resume its former
lively appearance.-T Tombstone Pros

Judge L. C. Herr, foreman at the
Newbury mines, has been here several
days awaiting orders from the eastern
management. The company's local
superintendent went over to Phenix
several weeks ago on a glorious drunk
and expended the funds the company
had placed in the bank to meet present
expenses. His present whereabouts is
unknown. This company has been
particularly unfortunate in the selec-
tion of its mine managers ever since it
undertook the development of the
Newbury properties and as result
has wasted a vast sum of money. We
regret the fact for several reasons.
First, because we know they have
good property that could be made a
success by the right kind of manage
ment. Second, because there are a
number Of first-class men among the
stockholders who have put their mon
ey into the enterprise in good faith
and we regret to see it wasted in
foolish work when it could be eXpend-
ed in work that would yield results.
Third. because a failure of the enter
prise through incapable management
would give the entire district a black
eye, As the general public outside this
immediate community would, natural
l.. attribute the failure to lack of
merit in the property. Fourth, because
the success Of the enterprise and it
could be made a success,-wOuld not
only insure the stockholders profits,
but would give an impetus to mining
in the surrounding district and thus
result in general benefit to the COM
munity.-Florence Blade.
The incessant dropping of the stamps
lat the Tombstone Consolidated Mine
company's mill is productive of cheer,
inspiring one with the assurance that
the mining industry of the district will
receive renewed impetus and in the
course of time the halcyOn days of the
early sos will come again. Faint
hearted mine owners of the Tombstone
district now have confidence in the
belief that the greatest mineral wealth
of this immediate district is to be
found beneath the water level. The
theory is founded upon the fact that
such conservative mining men as
Messrs. Gage, Murphy and StauntOn
DO not invest money on experimental
theories, but must have assurance of
returns before large sums are eXpend-
ed. These gentlemen are well in
formed as to the obstacles to be met
and overcome before results could be
derived from such gigantic under
taking: they knew that vast ore bodies
we're to be found beneath the subter-
ranean lake at the 900 foot level. to

Tor time and necessitated the eXpen-
iture of much capital, the three in

lloyed until the big shaft was sunk to
l depth of over 800 feet. What was
sncountered during this sinking and
irifting has not been made known to
''the man on top" but the impression
is general that underground conditions
Justify the erection of this modern mill.
