IN TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.
The T. C. Nj. Go.

A visit to the Big Shaft of the Con solidated company showed consider able activity this morning. Several cars were being loaded with ore for shipment to the Fl Paso smelters
 The company has ordered another Dow pump, which will be placed on the 700 and used to furnish water to the big pump on the 500, which, un. der present arrangements, is not be, ing used to its full capacity. With the installation of this new pump the company expects to have little trou. ble in keeping the water under con. trol.
 | At the mill things are being rushed to completion. The machinery that was on the lost car has been put in place and is being rapidly connected up. The railroad has been completed to the mill and cars are now running over to that building. All of the heavy work around the mill has been completed. and only the small de. | tails now remain to be finished. From l twenty to thirty days will see the stamps dropping.
 Carpenters have about completed the framing of the timbers for new gallows frame at the Tranquility and J work will be started soon on erecting new hoist. At the Silver Thread and. Toughnut regular shipments have been made during the past week. the latter prop erty averaging car every day for l the past week.
 Other Properties. The largest company at present is the Hersheli, which has a force of men at work on the property of the | same name, under the direction of | Superintendent Shaw. The company since taking hold of if has opened a good body of high grade ore, ship ments of which to Fl Paso have paid most handsomely Considerable de- | velopment work is being done at present to thoroughly open up the property, when sinking will be start /, ed. The present depth of the mine is less than 300 feet, and from pres ent indications. when it is opened up below that level, large ore bodies will be found
 l In this same locality. John Hen 1 ninger of the Can Can, has a force of men at work on his property, and has uncovered a ledge of ore in both of the drifts. He expects to do consider able work there, and will soon make this mine producer.
 A contract was let yesterday by Superintendent Fisher, Of the Cochise Gold and Silver company. to drive the tunnel on the company's property just beyond the State of Maine, an other one hundred feet The tunnel is now in 570 feet, and it is expected that the main ore chute will be en- countered within this distance. Some fine ore has been found in this prop. erty.
 August Teller and his partners have commenced work on their property in that section. They have a good prospect and are not afraid of aoing extensive work thereon
 George Black and John Rainey are at work opening up small copper ledge on the south side of the Tomb stone Hills. and are meeting with good success. Samples of ore from there show that 1t will at present run from 10 to 20 per cent.
 Vim. Trelease. formerly connected with the Tombstone Consolidated company, has secured an interest in Elna claim, near the Emerald. and expects to have extensive develop ment work done. The ledge of man ganese on this property is one of the largest and best defined in the camp, and should give good account of itself.
 In this locality Tom Cowan is al work on a claim adjoining the Black Eagle, in hopes of striking the ledge of that property. which leads in that idirection. The present development shows every indication that it will
 be found.
 A. McGinnis Is opening up a prop ,erty a little southeast of the Emerald jsaipment fo Fl Paso from which gave most excellent returns.
