 This is the kind of quartz commonly found in the Tombstone district as gold bearing ore.
 Except the statement that the big speciment of rich gold ore came from the bottom of the main working shaft, the company officers are silent con- cerning the new strike, but since 1t was made fifteen or twenty more miners have been put to work in the Esmerald. one of the company's mines that is drained by the pumping plant at the shaft from which the block of gold ore was taken, and MT.
