The ore vein of the property lies between these formations and runs east and west, and can be traced for distance of about 5000 feet This vein is be ing opened up by cuts and shafts ol various depths The vein is fifty feet wide and dips to the south, car rying exceptional values in gold ant silver. the former metal being found in it's native state, while the silver 1. in the form of chloride. Gold pre- dominates throughout the vein.

 Tombstone District
 The famous old Tombstone minins district, which has assisted materia ly in making history of the south west. is inevitably billed to rival. | not to surpass. the several large met al producers of the new state, 1T the production of a metal of the same complexion which made famous the Warren mining district.
 Mining in this district is being cas ried on steadily by the many chlorid CTS who are working under leases from the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Company, and much activits is being manifested in the surround .ug hills of the old camp. At the Contention mine. which adjoins the big pumping shaft of the Tombstone consolidated, and commonly known as the Boom shaft, work is being car ried on on a large scale under the C rection of Superintendent Douglas Gray. and shipments of ore from this propertv were commenced last week The ere from this mine is of a low grade, and is being shipped at the rate of two cars per day to three ol the most important smelters, name ly. the EI Paso shelter and the Cop per Queen and Calumet and Arizona reduction works at Douglas. The req son given for making shipments Co these three smelteTs is for the pur pose of determining the character oi the rock and to further solve the question og the most economical Was of treating the same. It is estimated that many thousands Of tons of this ore are available and can be hand led at a profit The shipping of ore from this mine means much for the tombstone district, and in addition .o the regular shipments being made every other day by the chloriders some forty in number, the output wi be materially increased, thereby jn creasing the tonnage now being shipped to about seventy or eight cars per month t was learned re gently that several experienced Colo rado mining men are contemplating the securing of leases on ground iI this district, and working the same on an extensive scale. and should ths arrsSlgements now under way oul- minate satisfactorily 10 the partie: interested, the working forces in tht district will be greatly added 10.
 T. C. M. Resumption
 It is expected that as soon as tht Tombstone Consolidated Mines com pany has gone through the bankrupt cy court, the time being placed al ninety days. the mammoth pumpins plant, the largest in the entire south west, handling on an average of iron seven 10 eight million gallons every twenty-fOur hours, will again be put In operation, and the large ore bod ies, which are known to exist bel2r the water level, developed and eX tracted and treated at the company big mill and concentrating plant which, it is estimated, can handlg some 2,50O tons of ore daily. and again place the old camp in the pro ducing ranks
 It is understood that the present leasing system will be continued. au. leases new granted will be renewed and not cancelled when operations are resumed, the result being a larger tonnage and more miners being em ploycd iu The various workings
