manager. r. X. Hetherington, the
Prescott ore buyer, made . trip to
che camp yesterday to sample the
coeeentrstcs. This property 10 only .

The Alvsrsdo 10 in operstion once
uore. The connection between the
two shafts . thousand feet apart will
bs completed in . few weeks, which
viii give that mine more ore in sight
and ready TO block out than any
o,hsr property in the district. The

W cir in the deeper workings will

The YsrselI mine hss started work
under working bond held by .
strong eastern segregation Of capital
This is ess u fhs famous mines Of

operated on very large scale.
The Rincon mine may be operated
also by lessers. The property Is
equipped with a good Ellspass mil
and would have made good IL prop
eriy handled. Leasers would operate
It on a strict basis Of economy will
I" deadheads on the pay roll and nc
useless ornaments on high salaries
hence the lcaser will make the Rim
