VIII Complete Lower Tunnel.
The deepest working on the Hen
rietta is a $50 foot shaft, but even. the
ground above this level is far from
worked out It is the plan Of the new
company TO complete the lower tunnel
now in 1900 feet and within 200 feet Of
cutting the ore shoot. The completion
OF the tunnel viii open virgin ground
200 feet below the present workings
The Niger Brown has a 200 foot
shaft In the bottom the ore shoot IS
nine feet wide and the average in all
the workings is S35 a ton A mill viii
be placed on this property as soon as II

Recent developments at the property
Of the Cactus Gold Mining company
have been so satisfactory that Oper-
atiOns are being continued on an en-
larged scale The new shaft IS only
30 feet in depth, but has a 16 inch
streak Of ore averaging $50 a ton. Oc-
casional specimens run as high as
$1,000. When the shaft IS down % teet
a gasoline engine will be installed
Lower down on the same group q
shaft opened ore that was 30 percent
copper, but the flow OF water IS 50
strong that 1t cannot be controlled. II
is expected that copper win be opened
in the new shaft. The Cactus is only
p miles from the new Clarkdale smell
ter The milling and concentrating ores
will probably be worked at the Mon
arch mill.
