The Diamondfield Red Mountain Min

foot level on their property, which is
situated about two miles east of the
Daisy, a two-foot streak of quartz and
porphyry, which gives some splendid
values. Grant Turner, the mine man

week, and reports that the property is
opening up to his entire satisfaction.
Samples taken from some Of the best

going to be rewarded within a very
short time.
The Black Eagle Mining company,
about half a mile east of the Red Moun-
tain Mining company, is sinking the

claim. The shaft is now down 80 feet.
a good looking vein of quartz has been
opened up, which gives good assays.
This company owns a large block of
ground in this section of the district,
and it is the intention to carry on ex-
tensive development work during the
coming months.
The Butte Boys, whose property joins
the Black Eagle Mining company, are
working two shifts of men, and are
carrying on extensive development
work. Already a big body of milling
ore has been blocked out, and it is
hoped that shipping ore will be encoun-

Manager Codd, who is operating a
,,.so on the st. Ives claim for the St.
Ives Leasing company has decided to
sinh the main working shaft so feet
deeper. For the past ninety days the
Leasing company has been sinking its
shaft to the depth of 800 feet. When
this level was reached sump was put
IN 20 feet, making the total depth of
tbo shaft 500 feet. AS the miners were
nutting in the last round of holes for
the sump. their drill holes ran into a
stroup ledge, and water came up almost
Eke out of an artesian well. Inside of
,wo bours. there was six feet of water
IN the shaft, and as the company had

the water with buckets. However, a
laroe valve water bucket has been pro-
cured and Manager Codd reports that
he is able to handle the water in nice
shape, and that the mine is not making
more than one-half the water at the
present time that it did at first.
Assay samples were taken at the
time the ledge was struck which gave
some splendid returns, and it is for
this reason that the company is going
TO sink its shaft an additional 80 feet,
and open up the ore. body.
The St. Ives lease produced seme very
high grade ore on the 100-foot level,
and the management has been working
hard to get down to the 500-level, and
it looks now as if the lease was going
to be one of the great producers OF this
camp within a short time.

Alberto Mascarenas, one Of the lead

train for his home. He expressed him
self wen pleased with Douglas, this
being his first visit to this city.
I'VE have been very fortunate in
Nogales uring this period of depres-
sion as conditions have been especially
good. The 5Espee railroad has been
working a large force of men during
the entire summer. The mines south
of us have also been working right
along and much cash has been turned
loose with us right along We ali feel
generally encouraged and expect unus-
ually good times N Negslss this fall. "
Asked about business across the
line, he replied: Business has been
excellent and all our banks have been
doing a fine business. The state OF
Sonora has been forging right ahead,
and much money has been invested
there during the past twelve months
look for greater progress for Sonora

DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
GAS TO BE USED
TO KILL STRAY DOGS

DOUGLAS, Aug. lit Especial -
The waif dogs of Douglas are here
after to be disposed of in a humane
manner at least. Owing to an improve
ment just put into effect by Mayor
Greene the dog pound will no longer
be q shambles and the dogs will no
longer be butchered. Gas is now the
instrument of their death and they
die within a few minutes from the
time il is administered without pain.
In line with advanced methods on
the subject Mayor Greene had con-
structed a large box arrangement
about ten feet long and four feet high.
When it become necessary to do away
with the dogs they are driven into the
boz. IT is closed and gas is turned on
In this manner twenty-odd dogs were
dispatched a few days since. The gas
deadened their sensibilities at once
and only a snoring noise came from
the box The dogs were entirely dead
within fifteen minutes
