Regular Ore ShIpments

On Saturday two 3O-tou cars Of ore were shipped by Col. A. Lafave from the Wonderful mine to the Fl Paso shelter. This shipment makes to- tai of four cars the Colonel has ship ped in December and January, the returns from which are very satisfac tory. The ore is heavily charged with lead, carrying paying quantities of gold and silver. From an analysis it is shown that the ore carries five per cent sulphur which, the Colonel says, convinces him that the mine is a deep one and that the values will greatly increase at depth Ship ments will be continued steadily as there are nearly a thousand cars of ore blocked out in the mine and when this is exhausted he will put up ho st tug works and start to sinking and drifting.
