TIGER GOLD ORE IS
 ADMIRED BY MANY
cFrom Wednesdays Daily)

Yesterday there was placed on ex hibition in the office of B. H. Heth erington, in this city, a forty pound sample of ore from the recent rich strike made by the Tiger Gold Com pany in the Bradshaws that has ex, cited the admiration of all mining men who called to inspect it. In values and size the ore body may be characterized as one of the greatest discoveries that has ever been made In this county. Assays from the sample gave s14s in gold and 37 ounces in silver to the ton.
 The ore is a flaky sulphide with iron and copper and mas the char aeteristies of the surface product but leads the latter in values and size. This discovery is significant from the fact that it was found at the deep est point yet reached, and WAS cut from the 800 foot level in a drift that leads to the south from the main working shaft. Contiguous to this point, and in the upper levels sim liar ore was encountered, a few years ago, but this is the first time in the history of the property where such noteworthy values were ever found at the greatest depth. For this reason the strike is creating general inter- est in that field, being considered a bonanza. The ore is four feet in thickness in a vein twelve feet across.
 The company resumed operations a few months ago, and in that time has been regular shipper of bullion and concentrates. In recent weeks the regularity of the gold output in bars received by the Prescott National Bank, and the railroad shipments of concentrates, to the smelter, has re- instated the property to its former standing. Since resuming, the old shaft that is located on the Gray Eagle claim, at the mouth of the main tunnel, has been sunk to the 800 foot level. Crosscutting and drifting has followed, and it is with in few feet of the vertical line of this working point, to the south, where the recent discovery was made The purpose of the management is to concentrate further exploration from this main shaft to the north end lines of the system, this move ment being supported by splendid re- turns had from mill runs during the past few months. Originally the property was known as the Gray Eagle, and in the strike made re- gently it is quite a coincidence that the best showing ever made on the group should take place on the claim of that name. Under the new man. agement A. G. Seherer is in charge of operations.

Leading to the reviving of this
 proposition, B. P. Miller, a mining
 engineer of Goldfield, was attracted
 to the property last September, and
 since that time exploitation has been
 practically conducted until last
 week. The results were satisfactory
 and now the closing of the deal for
 the entire mineral field owned by the
 old Lincoln company is given legal
 consideration.
 Associated with the Kniekerboeker,
 in addition to MT. Miller, are s. P.
 Winner of Los Angeles, Cal, Joseph
 Morello of Gallup, N. NJ, R. c. Den ny of Goldfield, New, and Fred W. Gadwood of Kentucky.
 In the instrument recorded are eer-
 tain interesting stipulations, which give the following amounts. The purchase price is s15O,OOo, on which payments are to be made as fol lows: September l, 1911, $25,0OO; March l, 1912, s25,OOO; September l, 1912, $25,OO0; March l, 1913, s25,- 900, and on September l, 1913, $50,- 900.
 At the meeting held in this city, Tuesday, after the incorporation of the Knickerbocker company, MT. Miller was elected to represent the organization and to act as trustee un- til the final payment had been made. In this capacity he has been at the Lincoln camp during all the service incidental to making examinations and experimenting the work of ex- ploration. So successful has been the outcome that the merging of the in- dividual interests into the corpora tion necessarily follows. MT. Miller, in speaking yesterday of the interests taken over, says that the enterprise exceeds all expectations, and will be operated on a large plan. The old workings have been cleaned and ore bodies uncovered not generally known. The fifteen stamp mill has from the old workings an abundance of ore to keep it running for two months, which will plate at least $50 I ton. The vein that carries this good grade is twenty-six inches wide. md promises to develop phenomenal ore bodies. While the taking over of .he group calls for a depth of 200 feet in shafts, MT. Miller states that his Is of secondary import, the new company contemplating to sink at east 300 feet from the lower tunnel immediately, as well as developing at 'ther points that show unmistakable of carrying rich ore bod es. A new hoist is en route and is xpeeted to arrive this week. The nine force will be increased imme- lately and active mining started on n energetic and practical manner.
 MT. Miller and MT. Wilmer left esterday for the camp, after several ays in the city on business incidental formally closing the taking over the property and the formation of he new company.

Lamar-The hay dealers of the

Ter, president; Ralph Green of Bristol.
vice president; w. C. Wix of Lamar,
secretary; H. F. Walls of Las Animas
and C. A. Pinkham of Holly directors.
The purpose OF the organization is to
protect dealers from unscrupulous
brokers and commission men. who
have made claims of off grade ship
ments handled through them until
shippers would reduce the drafts. In
vestigation has proven most Of these
claims unjust, and the association pro-
poses to keep an inspector at the prin-
cipal shipping centers to whom all diff
ferences will be referred for adjust
ment, and who will determine to whom
loss is probably due. Dealers have
been losers by farmers refusing to
clear the first cutting thoroughly from
the ground, and the second cutting,
mixed with dead hay of the former cut
ting. making lower grade than all
new hay would be. The association
will endeavor to remedy this trouble.
