 TOMBSTONE, Feb. HE. B. Gage of the Tombstone Consolidated com pany has returned from Sasco, where
 he has been for the past week to wit
 ness the blowing in of the new smelter
 for the Imperial Copper company, who
 are working the Silver Bell properties
 in Pima county. He states that the
 shelter was blown in on Wednesday and is now running very satisfactorily.
 The furnace that has been started has a capacity of $50 tons every 24 hours and another furnace has been ordered and will be placed in operation within
 short time The company has an
 abundant supply of ore on hand ana fuel sufficient to keep the smelter run ming continually. The company for the
 present will handle only ores from the
 Silver Bell properties, but later will be able to handle custom ores.
 J. H. Talbot of the Calumet and Ari- ona company was in the city Saturday
 on his way from Bisbee to the Lead
 vile property near Gleason, which is
 under bond to the c. and A. people. The work that is being done at pres ent by the company is nthe Casey property, on which a shaft is being sunk. But little work is being done cr the Leadville claims proper at the present time. The bond and option on the property expire next month and from the payments that have recently been made there seem to be but little doubt that the property will be taken over.
 E. G. Mannering, who has charge of the operations of the c. and A. com pany at Leadville for the past few months, was in the cit "Wednesday on his way to Patagonia, where he goes to take charge of the Three R" prep erty that has recently been taken Un- der bond by the Calumet and Arizona people. This propery was under bond to c. w. Green last year but through some default on his part was allowed to revert to the owners, who have now bonded it tC the C. and A. people for a good figure. MT Mannering stated that it was the intention of the present company to put on at once number of men to do development wor k.
 Dave Mitchell and Chas. Gerdes are back from a trip to Sonora where they went to make an examination and report on a copper property near the Sonora river for eastern parties. They report that section of Sonora as quite lively and that ther is mere mining go- ing on there than ever in the history of the country. Much work is being de- layed, however, on account of the re- cent raids of the Yaqui Indians. While they saw no signs of the Indians they learned of a number of their recent raids within few miles of where they were camped.
 William Lee was in the city from the BronchO property of the Pittsburg Arizona company near Charleston on yesterday The company at present is employing but a few men. but expects to add a number of additional men O the force within the next few weeks.
 John Trolio left here for Gleason, taking with him a number of miners whom he will put to work on his cop per properties within a Sew miles of that camp. TTolio a few weeks since uncovered a body of rich carbonae ore on one of his properties and now in- tends doing some extensive develop ment work.
 Tommy COwan is Tombstone visitor from Gleason. where he is at work on his properties fer which he has recent Iy applied for a patent. He states that the shannon company. who have lease on the Copper Belle property, are shipping about a car of ore a day by way of Pearce to the Clifton smelters. The mine was in operation cOntiuOus- ly during the recent slump but not with as large a force as was employed be- fore. They have recently added sever al more men to the pay roll.
 B. P. Niles, a partner of E. E. Hon. CT, was in the city recently. MT. Niles ] and Mir Homer are the owners of a ] of properties in the Altar dis | trict in Sonora for which they have | recently received a patent from the | Mexican government. The property is | s gold one for which they have already | received an offer running into six fig l ures from Boston capitalists. The ore | is free milling and they are contem- ! plating the purchase of a mill that is | within a short distance of the mines 1 and operating the property them ! selves.
