EXTENSIVE WILL BE
NEW LINE DEVELOPMENT
lyrom Wednesday, Da!ly.)


Preliminary operations toward a
line of extensive development that
has been under Roadway on the
famed Del Pasco mines in the Brad
show mountains. have been complet-
ed in cleaning out the old tunnel,
was the important announcement
made Monday by w a. Thorpe,
general manager OF the company,
who arrived from the camp and is
cnroutc east
This work has been attended
with more than ordinary interest
in mining circles OF this field, for
the reason that the property had
been practically abandoned for the
past fifteen years, while the the
DRY of the old time miners, 50
far as that proposition was TO be
considered has been shattered by
what today is in evidence. The
tunnel has reached a point l,04C
feet from the mouth, and the clean
ing out was started on July "a, and
ended Monday. Observations made
OF the face OF the drift and the
mineral characteristics in evidence
conclusively prove that the mother
vein OF the system, the Del Pasco
lode, had not been followed or en-.
countered, as was the purpose OF
the former operators. On the other
hand, the Homestakc vein is in evil
dence today just as il was cviden,
in the beginning OF the big work
and the outlying and parallel veins
and the mother lade. as yet have not
been explored. So firmly convinced
is Mr.. Thorpe Of this condition be
ing unsolved, that he purposes to
begin a crosscut from the face of
the drift to the west, and estimates
the distance to cut into the Del
Pasco lode, proper, is about thirty
feet Surface evidences lead TO This
belief also and mining men who have
examined underground conditions
since the old tunnel has been
cleaned out, are in harmony with
this belief. also.
when the crosscut reaches the
point outlined, depth OF aporox-
ima'ely 500 feet from the apex will
nave been accomplished, which is
all the more important in solving

PRESIDED OVER
NOTED MINE
LITIGATION
(From Saturday, Dany)

Superior Judge +. o. Smith, who
was called to Cochise county to pre-
side in the trial Of the famous case
OF the heirs Of Patrick Cunning
ham VS.. the heirs Of Martin Cos
tello, returned to Prescott yester-
day and resumed the bench.
He states that eight days were
consumed in the hearing, which
was an equity suit. and the plain
tiffs were awarded a verdict upon
the facts by jury. in the sum Of
over half million dollars. A score
OF attorneys were present on both
sides. and the trial was witnessed
daily by crowded court room.
In speaking of the examination
OF witnesses on both sides, Judge
Smith stated that il was reve-
lation to listen to the recital of facts
and incidents that occurred as long
ago as 1895. in which the principals,
then alive, and partners in certain
mining properties, were brought in
to the trial in certain conversations
and other transactions which were
told over again, with memery that
created very much interest as well
as astonishment as to certain details.
The mining property affected in this
litigation Is reputed to be very valu-
able in this day. but which at the
time located and owned by Cunning
ham and Costello attracted but lit
tie attention in mining circles.
