some time by Bouse and McMahan and
considerable ore has been shipped. The
last four ears were shipped to the Fl
Paso smelter last fall. and the smelter
receipts showed an average Of Is to
IS per cent copper and $40 per ton
gold. There are several carloads or
rich ore now on the dump, but the
freight charges TO III Paso are too
high to permit Of profitable shipment.
Messrs. Meyer and Bishop, who are
now in Phoenix, state they will at
once install machinery and put large
force of men to work. the mine al
ready has forty.foot saft and tnir-
~. foot crosscut, all in rich ore.
This property has been reported sold
several times lately. but the sale was
finally consummated yesterday, and
the papers signed up and the money
turned over.

worked very extensively, but the sur
face indications are very good. and
they are located in valuable territory
