All the inter ested parties are from Pittsburp and 1t is said that they intend to do business on a large scale.
 The property consists of a quartz ledge sixty feet wide in places, and assays of gold have been made running all the way from S400 to 810OOO a ton. Two shafts are down 90 feet each and new machi- nery for extensive operations has been ordered. The claims of this company adjoin the Esperanza mine formerly owned by the Phelps Dodge Co. Their shafts are near the Esperanza. where it is said more than $2,000,000 of shipping ore was taken out. On the dump of this last named mine more than S200000 worth of tailings are ready for the cyanide.
 The property is about 40 miles away from the railroad; but a good wagon road built by the Phelps Dodge people leads ont to the steam road. This wagon road cost in the neighborhood of S75,000. An expert of high standing spoke highly of the property and hence the transfer. The Pittsburg folks think they have a bonanza.
