after he had ventured in many direc-

The boy had Il restless. rowing ma

these directly into tho food and thence

and is supposed to consist of vegcta-

The difficulty OF scraping up Il SUI

the enthusiastic spirits. though the

tinuance of the width and values devel
oped in the 6oO there will be available
for treatment 100000 tons Twenty-six
thousand ounces of gold and silver~bul-

low the surface and in virgin ground.
The eleventh level (beloW the main
tunnel) has been advanced west into the
No. ore body which was cut by the
tunnel a year ago. These two recent
developments have added q large ton
mage to the great ore reserves. Eight
thousand, four hundred and seventy

of concentrates were produced from 692
tons of ore milled during the week.
Accident Causes Shut Down.

BUYS MACHINERY
FOR THARSIS MINE
Manager Lindley Says De-
velopment VIII Be on
Extensive Scale.

Morton Lindley of New York. gem
eraI manager, and one of the owners
of the Tharsis-York mine at Pilares.
Sonora, Mexico, is in Ell Paso for the
purpose Of purchasing air compressor
machinery. He says operations have
heretofore been carried on by hand
work, but the recent discovery of the
breccia carrying ehalcopyrite and
hornite has demonstrated the close con-
rection of this property with the orig
inal Pilares vein on the same copper
lode, and with their copper ore now
found, the Tharsis company finds it
self fully warranted in the installation
of machinery for the full development
of the property.
Like the Pilares, the walls are about
500 feet apart and the shaft in which
the recent discovery was made, is in
about the middle of the vein or deposit,
and the magnitude of the proposition
will be more rapidly carried forward
through the operation of machine drills.
The Esquina mine of the Tharsis
company, Immediately adjoins the
Pilares mine on the southeast corner,
and the recent discovery of ore by
the Tharsis company is within few
feet of the division line of the two
properties, and in an ore body which
seems to extend both ways to the
southeast in the Esquina ground, ana
to the northwest into the Pilares. This
is a promise not only of a great mine
for the. Tharsis people, but also indi-
Gates an enormous increase in the fu-
ture tonnage of the Pilares, which
is already known as one of Mexico's
greatest mines.
