 the Wake Up Charlie, Golden Eagle, and Broken Jug. and put force of men to work. Portions of these three claims have been divided into the block system, each block Consisting of section 250x600 feet, all of the blocks now being snbleased to miners from Colorado, Nevada and Arizona Two to four men are employed on each lease and the growth of the piles of sacked ore on the ground about the workings are more convincing than the assays of picked samples that are quoted so extensively. On the Wake Up Charlie more than 250 sacks of ore are stacked about the shaft Re centy 26 sacks shipped at the ex- pensive rate of local freight from Hachita yielded net profit of s19.35 per ton. With more careful sampling 1t is expected greater profit will ensue. The Wood property, north of the Hand Car and Skyscraper, is vir- tually proven prospect. A tunnel cuts the ledge at a depth of 150 feet from the outcrop, disclosing ten-foot face of good ore. Here it is generally supposed that negotiations are under way for the transfer of the property ! to L. C. Shattuck. the well known mining operator and banker of Bisbee. The consideration named is s60,000. Malone, Warburton and Soule. of Bis bee, are closing a deal whereby they will come into possession of seven claims adjoining the Golden Eagle on the south. Sutter. Neale and liar rington, of Bisbee, have a lease on the Golden Eagle and are employing two miners upon it. They are now working at a depth of 26 feet in ore that has assayed from s29 to SS7. There are many other propertfeE, and leases thereon, as rich as those hero inbefore mentioned; but their des- cription must be deferred until a fu- ture date Those engaged upon the work have not yet concluded their examination of the geology of Syl- vanite and it's environment, but the Reviews readers will be the first to receive an accurate deserip- tion of the structure of this district. Former reports have emanated from experts who were unable thoroughly to , explore the country reported upon, and one well known mining engineer of Bisbee was misquoted by the only mining journal that has attempted a description of the new strike. Beyond . the assertion that the ores here re. semble closely those of Cripple Creek, it would be presumptious upon the part of layman to express an opinion until the ores have been classified by experts
 There has been an attempt to estab- fish an automobile road to Playas station on the E. P. & S. w, about twenty miles farther west than Ha. chita This would place a line of communication with the railroad on the western side of the Hachitas and closer to Bisbee than the present station. In a subsequent communi. cation your correspondent shall fur. nish a thorough and detailed descrip. ton of the route that must be follow. ed by those coming here by wagon from Cochise county.
 It will not be amiss to iterate the : statement already made in these columns to the effect that Sylvanite under the conditions obtaining at present is in no sense a desiG1ble place for the man without capital. Be, cause of the impeachment presented by incomplete facilities for transporta, tion and the other inadequacies con. comitant to all new camps there is no employment at present for wage earn CTS other than those now working in the district.
