The Old Pueblo property of the
Tucson Consolidated Mining COM
pany is ready to ship a car load of
ore, and are filling up bin for
second car They are now employing
twenty men, Most of this ore is
taken from near the surface, from
tunnel, and is reported to carry II
per cent. copper, and gold values
ranging from 81 to $40 per ton. The
| ledge when uncovered is too near the
surface to be of much value in de-
termining what it will carry at depth,
but as it is six feet wide confidence is
felt that it will go down. The second
bin is being filled with ore from the
shaft, taken at depth of $50 feet.
This shaft was put down on an incline
following a stringer of rich ore at
times broadening out from four to
twelve inches. At 100 feet the vein
became vertical and when within
thirty feet of the bottom of the shaft
its foot wall became the hanging wall
of the vein From this foot wall as
saws have been obtained showing $40
in gold and per cent. copper. At
this point the bottom of the shaft re-
turned a porphyry that was nearly
barren, but with additional depth is
showing up better. a crosscut to
get the ledge is now being pushed at
a depth Of 12O feet, and is in twenty
feet The expectation is to strike
the ledge that outcrops on the sur
face, within d few days. This cross
cut for working purposes having been
planned for the 2OO-foot level.
Burglars paid visit to the resi-
dence of J. J. Griffith, of Douglas,
last week, and although interrupted
at their work got away with haul
of upwards of $3.50. Mr.. Griffith, who
is d restaurant keeper, was away at
his business as usual and Mrs. Griffith
and her sister decided to go to the
. Dime, taking the baby with tmem and
leaving the house vacant. In their
absence the burglars used jimmy
and forced an entrance to dining
room and bed rooms, and proceeded
to ransack closets, bureaus and
trunks. In one of the trunks they
found over $500 in cash and in an
other some jewelry. They did not
care for mems clothing leaving some
jnew suits of Mr.. Griffith after tuI n
, inr the pockets inside out in their
search for money, but they packed
up a quantity of ladies' wearing ap-
, parel including silk skirts, waists, 4
, cloak and a coat. At the theatre
the ladies had seen but the first hall
of the program when the baby be
. came restless and they decided to re
turn home. Arriving At the house
= they unlocked The front door and Ell
tered to fad all in confusion and il
time to see two men rush out of The
70 back door. Mrs. Griffith picked up (
sixsh )oter she always has ready fol
d such an emergency and knows how tt
use. and followed the men out the
I' back of the house, firing two shots a
{ them as they disappeared in th'

d the Corneli1 Copper company, arrived
IS in Tucson last week from Ajo, ant
stated that about fifty men had beel
&c laid off by the Cornelia people.
. total shutdown did not occur, and ac
!. cording to the two gentlemen who ar
q rived, it is hardly prob1ble that sue
n a thing will traTspire. The Corneli
q claims are all low grade, and thi
4 combined with the present low pric
q of copper and the insufficient facili
ties at hand to produce the pur
metal, make it impossible for tn
" company to operate with profit. Th
company has been using the Audel
son process for producing pure eleC
i trolytic copper, but the plant, whic
- was installed merely as an eXper
=. ment was a small one, only capabl
of producing five tons OF pure coppe
= per day. This was not suiiicieu
- amount TO make the claims pay
- hence the partial shut down. How
ever, it is the intention of the con
- pany to install much larger rtfnin
- plant of the same type, and whe
- this is completed the mihes will /
of opened on i much larger scale tha
yc ever Gefore. The Cornciia compan
no has entered into a agreement wit
i the Anderson company, makers
the new refining plant, whereby til

as many and as large plants on til
