Usual Tonnage Being Shipped From Copper Queen and C. & 4. Mines From
 Week to Week.
EXPLORATION WORK
 IN THE SHATTUCK MINE
Past Week Has Seen lnStaIIa- ton of Pumping Machinery
 at Tombstone Mine.

The Warren district has not had an incident out of the ordinary in mining circles during the past week The same tonnage is being maintain ed from the Copper Queen and C. & A. mines. while in the Shattuck 9 force of men Is at work on explora- ton and development Great things are promised for Shattuck when the mine is again opened and when the company has its own shelter.
 This week ias seen the installation and starting Of the large pumps on the 1000 foot level of the large shaft of the Tombstone Consolidated Com pany, and with the pumping capacity that the company now has they will be able to handle over I0,0O0,00O gal Ions of water every twenty-four hours should occasion demand it, and are now in a position to thoroughly drain the Tombstone district, which means that the ore bodies that are known to exist will shortly be opened up and their values turned into the commerc- ial trade of the southwest and particu- larly in Arizone.
 The fight has been long and hard one, and it was only through the per severance of the people behind the Tombstone Consolidated company and its efficient officials here in the per sons of President E. B. Gage and Gen eral Manager W. F. Staunton that the battle was not given up long ago on account of the enormous expense that has been encountered in handling about 4.000. GOO gallons of water daily for the past five years. Victory is now in sight and that the company will in time be repaid for their money and time invested is the opinion of all who are familiar with the forna- ton and character of the ore bodies that have heretofore been uncovered the Tombstone district will prove to are known to extend to "a greater depth. There is every indication that the Tombstone district will prove to be another Butte and that with the greater depth attained the opening up of large copper bodies will result. This has already been proven to a large degree by the opening up of the immense body of sulphide ore in the Emerald property, the extent Of whicl has never as yet been fully determined.
 
 first of the week for trial. one of them being put in commission at that time and given trial, with but a few slight tightening up Of some Of the bolts. the big pumps moved like clock work from the moment the steam was turned into them until they were shut down for final adjustment for their continual run. which fact re
 
 chanic Sam Garrett, who has had charge of the placing and installation of the mammoth pieces of machinery. The pumps were started on Thursday afternoon. throwing a I4-inch column of water from the 1 ,000 foot level to the surface, and while not running to their full capacity at the present time are handling nearly 1000 gallons per minute. The pumps are Prescott cross compound. with large fly wheels and have a capacity of handling 1900 gallons of water from the 1000 foot level to the surface. That means the lifting by each pump of 120e gallons per minute or together a stream or l44.OOO gallons per hour, or 3,456,OOO gallons every twenty-four hours
 A visit to the new home of these mammoth pumps disclOses the fact that 1t takes no small sized cavern in which to house them, with the other Prescott pump that is on that level as well as a small Dow pump. inc cavern or pumping station cut out of the solid rock measures 100 feet m length. thirty feet in width aud height of seventeen feet. When one stons to realize this immense room as it might be called and compare it with the store buildings in me towns and cities Of the territory. there VIII be found but few of them that exceed in size this cavern
 Y The other pumps that are at pres | ent on the level will not be used only in case of emergency. The PFescot' uurnD is connected so as to throw the water at the rate Of 1900 gallons per minute to the 600 foot ,level, where tbe water can be handled to the sur face by the pumps on that station. while the Dow throws to the 500 and the pumps there handle it to the sur face Tn the pump shaf, there are now two columns for the pumps each fourteen inches in diameter, besides the steam columns that lead to the va riOus pumps.
 Rv the starting of the new pumps fne pumps on the 700 level have been cut out entirely and a reduction m fhe use of one of the large marine boilers has already been made. so that the company will make quite a saving in the use of fuel, it requirine but four boilers to do the work, whiif a few moalhs since five or six were required, especially when the sinking ,,.ts,.rr. vtrQra heinz uSed.
