Ell TIGRE WILL PAY
MONTHLY DIVIDENDS
AFTER MANY LITlGATI0NS THE
MINE MAKES GOOD
Rumor That PheIps-Dodge Has Option
on Property Goes the Rounds
Without Much Serious
Consideration
Special to The Herald

Special TO The Herald
DOUGLAS, Aug. 1.-THE Ell Tigre
mine is now beginning to make good
to those who are holding the stock of
the company. The directors of the
company recently decided that until
further notice they would pay divi-
dend of per cent on the par value OF
the capital stock monthly. This divi-
dend will be paid monthly and amounts
to about per cent per annum on the
Ell Tigre stock at the price at which
it is selling now, which is about $40
per share.
Heretofore all the earnings of the
Tigre have been consumed in building
reduction works and in defending liti-
cations in the courts of Mexico. From
now on it is expected that the COM
pany will be able to pay regular profits
to those who hold the stock, and from
all reports the dividends will grow
larger
A rumor has been in circulation to
the effect that representatives of the
Phelps Dodge company have taken an
option on the Ell Tigre mine for pur-
chase of the property, but nothing
can be learned in this city in veritica-
ton of the story. The general opinion
is that if any option has been taken
it is at a figure not half as large as
the one given by the rumor-$S 900, OOO
1t is known that ]. S. Douglas owns
an important block of El Tigre stock;
also Messrs. Brophy and Cunningham
of Bisbee are holders Of considerable
Ell Tigre stock, but it is not regarded
as probable that the Phelps-Dodge
company is contemplating the pur-
chase of the Ell Tigre.

ESC0NDID0 DISTRICT
PUSHES WORK AHEAD
Surprise to Resume operations-When
Mine Shut Down Last Fall
Shaft Was in Ore
Body

ESCONDIDO, Aug. 16.-In this dis
trict work is gradually going ahead at
present. There is no boom, but grad
Ial and steady increase.
Last week the Escondido Mine De-
velopment company started work on
the Asmus mine. The first twenty
five feet will be timbered, after which
it is believed that little or no timber
ing will be required until the water
level is reached, which will probably
be at about 125 feet.
AT the Bottle Peak contracts will be
let this week. The crosscut will be
continued for about twenty-five feet
and drifting on the vein will also be
done.
The owners of the Surprise mine are
asking for bids for sinking their shaft
to a greater depth and expect to have
work well under way by September 1.
Everyone in camp is greatly pleased
TO know that this mine will once more
be placed on the working list When
they quit work at the beginning of the
panic last fall the shaft was all in ore.
This property is looked upon as one of
the best in camp and 1t means a good
deal to see it once more opened up.
At the Cleveland-Pacific development
still continues in the Grace shaft,
where they continue to find good val
ues. The mill is nearly completed and
will be ready to start this week. The
first run will be on ore from the Leon
hard and Stammer lease, from which
excellent results may be looked for, as
it assays higher than that from the
Polling lease, which milled $40 per ton.
A. S. Bieber, assistant manager of
the Cleveland Pacific, is in Los An
geles for the purpose of making pur-
chases for the mine.
Several mining men from other dis
tricts are here looking over the camp
and none seem to be disappointed in
the showing they find.

MONTGOMERY SHosHoNE
SHIPS TEN GOLD BRICKS

RHYOLITE, New, Aug. 16.-Ten
bricks, estimated at $4,000 ounces troy,
have been shipped to the Selby smelter
at Vallejo Junction by the Montgomery
Shoshone Consolidated Mines company.
The shipment represents the cleanup
of the zinc boxes for July. Estimating
the bullion at SO per ounce, the ship
ment is worth about $4,000, which is
somewhat higher than that of June.
The bricks were shipped by Wells
Fargo express In addition to the
bullion the company sent out the usual
+onnage Of concentrates. General
Manager Kirchen says that the July
OUTPUT was about the same as June.

WAR EAGLE SHIPS HIGH
GRADE ORE TO NEEDLES

PRESCOTT, Aug. 16.-George H.
Freyda and John McMasters have just
shipped nine tons of high grade ore
to the Needles smelter. The ore is the
silver-lead product of the war Eagle
mine in Turkey creek. from which
they shipped a carload of very high
grade ore few months ago.
Freyda says that there are several
miners and small mining concerns tax
ing out ore in that section. He is Of
the opinion that there would be a large
number of operators in the district
with market here for silver-lead
ores. The district is noted for this char-
acter of product, but at present none
hut high-grade rock will pay for ship
ment to the Needles smelters.

JEROME, Aug. 16.-It is expected
that the Cleopatra Copper company s
smelter will be in operation on ores
from the Cleopatra mine the last OF
September. The smelter tracks and
other machinery are now being placed
in shape to start the plant.
Four hundred tons of ore are already
on the dump ready for treatment. The
ore was mined from the Cleopatra
mine in the Dillon tunnel. 1t samples
from $40 to $25 ton, carrying copper
values from 10 to IS per cent.
The Dillon tunnel is now in 5000 feet.
The drift from the 1888 shaft being
run to connect with the tunnel is in
$50 feet.
Connection will be made with the
drift and tunnel by running about 46O
feet. The tunnel will be 1000 feet in
length when it reaches the 1883 shaft.
The tunnel taps six lodges, in all of
which there is a good ore showing.
Three lenses of ore are now being
developed in the tunnel. The first lens
is in the Cleopatra mine, through which
the tunnel passes 1400 feet. Power
drills started in operation the other
day on the Cleopatra ore body which
is being mined 1900 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel.
The ore body is tapped at a depth of
900 feet below the apex of the surface,
indicating that the shoot is continuous
from the tunnel level to the surface.
When connections are made with the
1888 shaft the development of the other
lodges tapped by the tunnel will be
pushed

ANDERSoN-APAC DRIVES
cRoSSCUT INTO RICH ORE

The latest authenticated report from
the Anderson-Apache mine is that NO.
8 crosscut has been driven in twelve
feet on the rich ore recently encoun-
tered. This ore is similar to that of
the carload recently shipped to Doug
las, which ran better than 10 per cent
copper. Out of the face of this cross
cut several tons of ore are being broken
daily, or considerably in excess of a
carload a week. When the crosscut
has gone to a point where ore is to
be taken from the top and sides 1t is
estimated that several carloads a week
can be broken very easily.

Railroad Water Wells Turn to Oil
Yucca Folks Stake Adjoining Land

II asst week reports were current on
the street at Kingman, Ariz, that
A. oil had been encountered in the
two wells of the Santa Fe Railroad
company at Yucca. Two barrels daily
have been pumped from the wells and
the water has gradually been decreas-
ing in force until there is barely
enough for train service.
superintendent of Water Service j.
W. Woods says that the oil found in
the well is caused by leakage from a
large reservoir in the ground, where
oil is stored for use at the railroad
company's pumping plant.
But the people of Yucca maintain
that this oil could not find its way
into the well against the strong water
pressure, there being from 200 to 800
feet of water in the wells.
The wells are cased and also have
inside piping through which the water
in one is forced and pumped from the

T ONOPAH, Aug. ia strike that is
as rich as any of the fabulous
Il ones in the early days at Goldheid,
and with rock so rich it would be
superfuous to assay it, has been made
A large quantity of the rock was
brought to town and is creating
whiri of excitement. Broken open the
roolr ia full of free gold and the values
are amazing. 1t is fine gold, but visible
to the naked eye.
The rock comes from the Enquest
lease, upon which work was started
one week ago. The shaft in that time
has been put down twelve feet and
ran into the rich rock in hurry.
Last Sunday week the editor Of the
Sun and Charley Kielhofer found colors
in an untouched cropping at that spot.
The point was selected for a shaft
with the sensational results stated.
The spot is 150 feet north of the

other. So far the amount of oil taken
from the wells is considerable.
1t is also said that oil has been ap-
pearing in the wells for more than a
year. but the quantity heretofore has
been small.
Several thousand acres of land has
been located by those who believe in
the existence Of oil and will hold the
lands pending a more rigid inquiry into
the oil conditions at the wells of the
Santa Fe company.
The country In and around Yucca is
entirely sedimentary, showing the ex-
istence at one time of a great inland
sea or river bed channel. Some miles
below Yucca, near Franconia, shales
and sandstone anticlines are in evil
dence, but at the town of Yucca the
indications are that the formation is
fiat or at least tilted but slightly.
Should oil be struck even at the depth
of 1000 feet it would be of immense BEN
eft to the people of that country.

ARIZONA BANK RECEIVES
GOLD BAR FROM THE TIGER

Recent bullion receipts at the Pres
colt National bank comprised a $500
gold bar from the Tiger Gold COM
pany and a brick weighing $4,000 from
A. J. Doran and his associates. The
latter is the cleanup from test run in
the Monarch mill on Cherry creek Of
ores of the Eta mine.
The Tiger Gold company is increas-
ing its force of miners and will soon
be operating on as large scale as
ever. That the ores are holding out
in values is attested by the steady
shipments of bullion, invariably made
in smaller bars than those of other
large operating companies.
