Gigantic Potatoes.

Big potatoes which weigh as much
as a man are not often seen. A small
consignment of them, however, has
Just been sent off from the West In
dies. There We're just six potatoes,
and each was large enough to feed a
big family. Yam is the popular name
applied to this variety OF giant sweet
potato. The tubers usually attain a
length OF three feet and an average
weight OF 30 pounds, Vans weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds, however, are
by no means uncommon ia the West
indies and other parts Of the tropics
where they thrive. In appearance the
vans look much like the ordinary po-
tatoes on a greatly enlarged scale,
They are black or brown externally
and pale within, and are rich in starch,
When boiled they have very pleas
ggt flavor.

TOMBSTONE SEES ROSY
THROUGH PUMPS

TOMBSTONE, July 3l.-The volume
Of water being handled daily by the
pumps in the Tombstone Consolidated
this week, is five million gallons strong.
The company now has the water ques.
ton perfectly in hand with plenty Of
reserve pumping capacity in the event
Of break down, and proceeds with
development work with greater conf.
dence than ever.
On the 1000 foot level they have
drifted 100 feet east. Within Ave or
six hundred feet more in this drift, il
has been definitely determined by oh.
servation and engineering, that they
will catch up with the original Old
Contention ore body in all its virgin
purity, siez and values. When that is
accomplished, the population Of Tomb
stone will again be able TO look upon
that superlative article which made
Tombstone famous in the SOS.
1t will be great treat TO the old
timer to crawl over ear load Of the
famous Contention ore, rescued from
the depths below water level.
Such achievements as that are what
the company has been looking forward
TO all along, and when three or four
tested old ore bodies shall have been
recovered, there win be something do.

At the new Emerald shaft they are

they have nearly completed their per

strictly up.to.date in every particular.
The new hosting equipment will be
one Of the best in the southwest.
There IL some talk Of converting the
Tombstone Consolidated mill into a
concentrating plant.
This report lacks confirmation, but
the situation and conditions obtaining
in the camp would favor sucb an en-
terprise. The ore in sight and which
have not been handled by the mill are
better adapted to concentrating, while
the rich ore from the new strikes on
the combinations of the old pioneer
ore bodies will be adapted to shipping.
In the progress Of drifting for these
rich ore bodies, they find the conditions
remarkably uniform and identical, so
that there can be no possible doubt
but what these bodies will be recovered
approximately as the respective dis
tanees calculated upon by the engin-
GERS.
Everything considered, the outlook
for the camp and the company is ex'
ceptionally bright.
