There was perceptible enthusiastic
Hurry in labor, mining and business cir
eles, says the Tombstone Prospector,
when it was announced from what
would appear as sound source, that
the Tombstone Consolidated would i'm
mediately begin a system of expansion,
first, affecting the Emerald and the
Lucky Cuss; later on, to extend to cv-
cry property of merit in the system.
1t will be remembered that last year
the Lucky Cuss hoist was burned 70 the
ground
AT that time the property nad just
opened up, perhaps the finest ore BODY
which operations in that mine hal ever
disclosed.
Now the company will move the ne
cessary machinery onto the ground and
open the Lucky Cuss up in approved
form.
The property will be equippnf with
an elaborate hoist, the old shaft clear
ed and re,timbered, and no time lost in
catching up with the original ore body
as developed before the suspension of
work on the property.
Every one knows of the history ant
reputation of the Lucky Cuss, and those
pioneers who worked in it's slopes years
ago, understand the quality of the pro.
duet which the company is sure to real
izn whau lie pral;n;nory ,,o,l, of -
habilitation shall have been completed.
Preparations at the Emerald are on
corresponding scale. There is no rich
err proposition in the camp and the com
pany can count accurately on the tiEla
and expenditures necessary to reach the
virgin ore body and the article which
will reward their investment of time.
means and muscle.
One by one the best of the old pr,
dueers will be re-opened and the camp
will be what the company designeG it
should be from the beginning. With a
good concentration for the lew-graae
ore, and fine shipping facilities for the
high-grade article, the company viii
have an ideal and lucrative system.
Everyone feels good over the outlook.
