Alvarado. About nine months ago II was bonded from T. NJ. Earphart of Kirkland by Cecil G. Fenner and H. w. Stevens. Development. operations have been pushed steadily and about 1000 feet of work has been done and a large amount of ore is said to be blocked out. Heavier machinery and power drills will be put in and devel- opment work will be pushed. Mr. Tillinghast spent several months in Nevada examining properties, but says the Monica is better than anything he saw there.-MartineZ Herald.
 A weeks work at the T. c. M. Co. mill has accomplished considerable to- ward its completion and it is the opin- ion of Superintendent Walker and Millwright Myers that a week or ten days will see the stamps dropping. The machinery has all been connected up. The electric wires strung through out the mill, the dynamo put in place and the ore elevator about completed and the crushers put in position. Car penters are at work erecting stairs to the solution tanks and completing some of the work on the outside. The painters have about also completed their work. The gulch between the West Side hoist and the mill is to be used for stump for the discarded cya- hide solution and has been fenced so that the cattle will be kept from get ting at it as it is deadly poison. A week from Monday will probably see the boilers fired up and the machinery given its first test.-Tucson Star.
 Johnny Pearce has recently let a contract for the sinking of shaft on his property that adjoins the Common wealth at Pearce and will endeavor to find the ledge of that camp. At the place where Mr. Pearce proposes to sink his shaft there is a large contact that crosses the hill and evidently cut off the ledge that was found in the Commonwealth, as when they reached that point they were unable to trace it further and did over LOO feet of work beyond the contact without find ing any trace of the ledge. MT. Pearce is of the opinion that the ledge was cut off by the contact and has been showed down the hill. He intends to sink the shaft to a good depth to en- deavor to find the lost ledge. It is the hope of his many friends that his theory is correct and that he will sue ceed in finding it.-Tombstone Pros pector.
 Wood Poland, manager of the Ari- zona Gold mining company, was in town yesterday, and reports that the tunnel, which is now in three hundred feet, is all in ore, which, by careful banning, it is estimated will go about POS per ton in gold. The tunnel now lacks sixty-five feet of being under a point on the surface where the lead is 1 DECn Mlu6E anu dlSO Ol COuSlOCIdDlt higher value. Mir. Poland is very much encouraged over the outlook oi the property, and believes that within few months the company will be or Easy street. This work is being done on one of the main gold leads up the Frisco river, from which many rich specimens have been taken from sur face workings. The company is com posed of twelve people, and not having offered stock to the public it is prac. tically a close corporation, the original stockholders taking up the shares as the money is needed for development purposes. The property is paid for and the company is out of debt.-Cop. per Era.
