 90 Feet of High Grade Ore Ia Emerald Mine--Carries

Tke extent Of the new ore find at the Emerald mise oE the Tombstone Consolidated Mining company has not yet heez fully determined but so far the miners have gone through 5S to 3s feet ia width of the body and the sikze below the soc foot level is still in the ore. The ore is of 8 black sulPhi6e and carried good val ues ia lead Snd silver besides the values in copper that will run as high as twenty percent. A drift that had been started in the close proximity to the winze has also shown up some of the same class of ore, three feet e 1t having been encountered so far.
 peculiar circumstance in connec- tion with the opening up of this bodf of ore is that fact that it is below the water level in the other part of the mine some fifty feet. This is ac- counted for by the impression that there exists closed dyke or ledge that cuts the water off and keeps it from seeping through to that part of the mine. The fact that the ore is below the water level of the mine and considerably below the old water lev eI of the mine shows that extensive ore bodies exist below the water level
 One of the most promising features of tho strike is the Tact that the ore is . concentrating proposition and can be handled by the company here at a very small expense and then ship the concentrates to the smelters thereby received much more in proportion that they would if the ore itssef was shipped. A good sized sample of the ore was recently put through the mill here and unto the concentrating tables the result showed that they were able to save about ninety per cent of the values of the ore.
 The opening up of this body of ore in the Emerald has already lead to the company making plans for the installing of a new hoist and tne sink ing cT new shaft on the property. The old shaft at the present time does not afford the best of ventilation to the miners below tand being an in cline does not give the best of service in hoisting ores. The new shaft which is to be sunk will be a vertical shaft and will be sunk at point fur ther up the hill and a little south of the present location of the shalt.
 The strike at the Emerald has lead to q number of focal parties to take up a number of locations in that io- cality and also lead others to do their annual assessment work on claims that they were holding in that vicinity on which they had about concluded not to do the work. The entire country in that vicinity has during the past two weeks been flooded with those who wished to get in on a location and monuments can be seen strung out for a distance oS two miles. A number not knowing that there were several patented claims adjoining the Enerald placed their locations on pat ented ground and will find later that they will be involved in litigation should they commence work. The monuments of the patented claims were erected years ago and in many instances there is at the present time nothing to sho just where these claims lie, so that the innocent Io- cator is not to blame altogether.
 The work on the other propertiesN of the Consolidated couDany is pro-
