that dark tunnel.
She did not see John Dorr talking to
the engineer below her. nor did she see
the miner who had just left the mine
and was scrambling down the ladder

her father had gone in and accidentally

Discovers Good Ore.

On last Monday T. A. Hulsey was in the Tres Hermanas mountains when Mr. Mills and his partner, both of Deming, discovered a valuable vein of ore which is thought by men who are well up on such matters that the ore will net 40$ to sos per ton gold and even larger amount of silver and other metals. The vein was discov- cred foot from the surface of the ground and was six inches in width. Two and one half feet below where it was first discovered the vein had wid
 ened out to fourteen inches, and it is thought that It will be found to be much wider at greater depth.
 The location of this valuable discov. cry is only eight miles from Colum bus, and if it proves as valuable as is gen orally supposed it means much for this part of the valley. The other mines in the Tres Hermanas are much farther from town and the railroad than this last discovery, and the min eral can be hauled and shipped at a much greater profit than would be the case from any of the other mines if it was the same grade of ore. Slm- ples have been sent away to be assayed and we await with interest the result of this test.-Colum bia, N. M. Courier.

Chocolate Mountains.

A reported rich strike of gold ore has been made by H. c. Borfell in the Chocolate mountains. This range is about 30 miles south of Ehrsnburg towards Yuma. The ore is said to as- say 124S in gold and 6S in silver. Frequently there has been rich ore found in this district, I can remember while being in the district about r years ago, coming across lot of loose quartz hematite boulders on a saddle between two washes and they were very bountifully specked with gold, one piece especially was thickly speckled with it. It was flat round. ed slab about foot in diameter and 6 inches thick aud was very heavy in hematite. The boulder looked so rich that we brought it into Phoenix had it crushed up by King the assayer and made money out of it. Where the boulders cane from could never be traced, although the source was searched for very diligently for some time and by different groups of pros-
 pectors. A find of this kind always makes district very interesting and
 it was especially so to me for I always

Gives Publicity to big
 Strike of Tungsten.

After withholding from the public several weeks, information of strike that had been made of tungsten in tho Hillside mine section, William Law Ter, one of the owners of group, stated yesterday that the discovery is a bOnafide one, and is without a known parallel so far as this rare mineral is to be considered.
 Briefly detailing what has been proved, he says the discovery was made by William Connors, and that assessment work reveals surprising conditions. Twelve claims were To. cated by Connors, with whom is asso- ciated H. k. Woods, and William Lawler. On adjoining ground John Siess has taken up nine claims and every location shows well defined Assure carrying this mineral of a high grade that has been pronounced by a Los Angeles mining engineer as ex- ceptionally high in percentage and WiIuouo d CouuOCi poio oo idi oS oiLO IS to be considered.
 Some of the samples brought to the city by Mir. Lawler are practically pure tungsten, and according to his statements the ore bodies reach to a size of four feet across. The ledge is of immense size and thls mineral lays in the center as if of matrix construc- tion. The tungsten field lies about l2 miles to the north of Hillside mine That section has never been pros- pected to any extent. surface showings not beng considered as attractive. About twenty-five years ago, however, shallow hole was sunk on one claim. and tungsten being shown, the pros- pector abandoned his location from lack of knowledge of this metalferous condition.
 The secrecy of the strike being rigidly preserved for several weeks and the good showing that has been determined in perfecting assessment work, together with the reliability of reports made by the owners gives to this situation very much interest as to what has actually taken place.-Pres- colt Journal.

remember that it was in this area that I saw the most perfect example of a Assure vein ever observed in my ex- perience. The vein was P inches in width and was composed of excellent appearing quartz. The vein was per- fectly vertical and coursed due north- east. southwes Anyone would have gone to work on it in expectancy of finding very satisfactory values. Some prospectors went down 50 feet and then quit, some others took iJ up and sunk to 100 feet and others after this went down little deeper. At all of these stages Of development l care fully sampled the vein, but the assays never even afforded a trace. The vein seemed to be built In the country rock like straight cement wall and in ap- pearance it looked as if it could not be possible for it not to carry gold, but nevertheless It didn't and have heard since then others have tried it on diff fersnt parts of the veln but they only met with the same disappointing re- suits. The district is very good looking country, but is extensively faulted and requires considerable study and care in mining. The main draw back is the lack of water.- Phenix Republican.

Boston Ely.

The Boston Ely has set up diamond drilling machine near the face of the HOO drift from the Emma shaft, but the beginning of operations has been delayed because of the lack of cartoons for the bit, says the Ely Expositor As soon as those ordered are received the work of prospecting the ground ahead of the face will be pushed as rapidly as possible in an attempt to get core of the formation and reach the Matilda porphyry, which may not be far away.
 The porDhyry lime contact at the surface on the Matilda has a dlp of 6S degrees. but has not been disclosed at any point between the present face of the drift and the surface
 In order to secure the best results a hole to prospect the ground in the direction of the Matilda contact will be pointed upward so the hole can be kept clear of drillings and in the ex- pectaton that such hole will be easier to bore through the tough rock successfully.
 On account of the fine grade of ore taken from the Matilda contact at and near the surface it is expected likely that good deposits of ore will be found where the porphyry is penetrated at such great depth.
