 TOMBSTONE, July zi.-The work of getting the three new marine boilers in shape for being blown in is pro gressing rapidly at the big shaft of the Consolidated company. All of the boilers have been put in place and the tracks put on and the steam connec- tions being put in place. Brick ma sons are at work lining one Of the boil CTS, and as soon as il is completed the plan now is to start sinking in the shaft and finish up the other two boil CTS while that work is going on. It is expected now that this work will be started some time next week and a force of three eight-hour shifts be put at work in the shaft. The pumps with the additional steam power fuTn- ished by the new boiler will not have the least trouble in keeping the water out of the way of the miners. The company is anxious to get the shaft down to the 1000 level, and regretthe delay caused by the breaking of the pumps which has caused nearly a years delay in the plans of the compa- ny. Everything now promises that the shaft will go down without inter- ruption. They are prepared for all emergencies.
 With plenty of power from the boil CTS. and pumps ready to handle over 7,000.0 900 gallons every twenty-feur hours, everything looks encouraging for a most successful battle in the un- watering Of the mines. The pumps have maintained the record of a little over 100000 gallons during the past few weeks, and has had the efsect of draining some of the outside country that had boen allowed to fill up during the shut down of the pumps. Master Mechanic Garrett is greatly pleased over the outlook, and says he will have small-sized river flowing from the shaft to the outlet when the pumps are started to handle the water in sinking. The shaft continues to keep the mill well supplied with ore from the old drifts, and the ore bins are well filled up.
 At the mill at the present time there are running twenty-five stamps, and next week will see others dropping. ~ Four rev cyanide tanks will be put in commission on Mosrd4iay, and they will increase the capacity of the cyanide plant to such an extent that it will be able to handle the tailings from all of lhC oIdlApS. -uCS.idhASS dIC dI NOI n 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. A force of carpenters is at work building an ex- tension 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 point below Superintendent Walkers resi- dence, where the big dike crosses the gulch. This was 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 most paying proposition and at a cost of about s1 per ton.
 The Silver Thread property contin' ues to hold it's own as a shipper, and several cars are being shipped from there every week. The ore continues to be of high grade, and there seems to be plenty of it. At the Tranquilli ty work has been resumed for some time, and some ore ;s being taken out that is put through the mill, while oth4 CT shipments have been made to the smelters at Fl Paso.
 The Teughnut continues to contrib ute a car day to the smelters al Fl Paso, most of the ore coming from the old stopes of the mine which could not be handled at the time the proper ty was owned by the Tombstone M and M. Company. on account of the heavy transportation charges. The Lucky Cuss has been averaging a mum Der of cars per week of a good grade of ore, and considerable more is ir sight in the various stopes to keep the shipments regular.
 The Emerald is not far benInd the other properties, and continues to keeT up it's snare of shipments, considerable ore of a high grade carrying native sil yer has recently been taken out. | is the intention of the company tC sink a new double compartment shafi on this property at no distant date The new shaft will probably be sunl at a point about 300 feet west and z little south of the old shaft and 1T the vicinity of where the ore bodies ir the old workings are now being work ed. The air in the old shaft has beer bad in the lower workings fer some time and when the new shaft has beer put in commission the old one will bt used as an air shaft and will afford good ventilation.
