with the district and the proposition in

The ore runs in a pay streak, aver
aging from two to IS inches in width
and running from 5 per cent copper
and rs OF. silver to IS per cent cop
per and 5000 OF. silver, usually in the
form of patanque. The management
has had considerable trouble with their
boilers of late, but has recently put in

the Moctezuma Copper company Is per
cent royalty on the net proceeds, which

Nacozari Consolidated Copper Co.
Your correspondent spent five days
On the ground embraced in the Pill
ares, the Moody, the San Pedro, the
San Pablo, the antigua works and the
tNacozari Consolidated. During this
time he was the honered guest OF John
Goughlin at the camp occupied by Mr..
Goughlin on the Galera, one of the
promising properties of the Nacczari
| Consolidated Copper company. The
holdings Of this company lap around
the famous Pilares on the south and
east Several shallow shafts and tun-
nels have been projected in each and
every one of which. the conditions
would indicate Enthusiastically that the
property constituted an extension OF
1.-THE mighty Pilares ore body, their near
est neighbor, for which the Moctezuma
Copper company would not part for
fifty million dollars
President Alexander has at present,
besides his work on the San Pedro as
lessee a force on the Copper King and
a tunnel shift on the west side of the
property, both on the Nacozari Con-
solidated. On the King, the work was
promptly drowned out by a volume of
water which it would require an elab-
crate pumping system to handle, but
as it was suspended with q 24-foot
shaft and a 60-boot tunnel, elegant
chalcopyrite was in profuse evidence.
In the tunnel, which expected TO
reach vein matter at $50 feet, copper
lsulphurettes and silver running $50 ozs
to the ton were caught up with at las
feet. Two other tunnels have devel
oped steel galena carrying 300 ozs. sill
yer to the tor and the whole PROPOSE
ton looks very favorable at present
writing, especially considering the con.
tinued expansion of its next, its illus
trious neighbor, the great Pilares.
Jimmy Joplin has taken lease tc
handle a Jig a body of second class
on the San Pedro mine at the mouth
Of the old tunnel, where he will prob
ably clean up a car lot of good lead
and silver ore.
