 IN TUNGSTEN NINES
(Co1tinucI From Page One)

- s- MeNicans are caught carrying od pieces of the rich cre. Several par ties are now under arrest for trying to get away with about $750 worth oi ore and are held in the county Jail at Tombstone. There are a number of parties in the vicinity of the camp who are making a business or buying the high grade ore. 4 shipment Of several hundred pounds of tungsten ore was taken from the Little Drag cons to Benson and shipped from there. Several deals have been made in the past few weeks on properties here and leases are being let on a number of claims. All Of the owners realize that the golden opportunity is at hand at present and they are talk ing advantage of it because a term;na- ton of the war in Europe would mean decided slump in the price of the metal.
 At Courtlsnd.
 The principal events here in the mining circles during the past week was the arrival of the new machinery for the Leadville company and the opening up of body of good grade of copper ore near the surface be- tween two cabins on the C. & A. ground, by John Hamilton. The ma chinery received here by the Lead vile company consists of a cOmpres- sor and q boiler The compressor is of $50 foot capacity and the boiler 50 Ii. ?. The machinery will be in stalled on the Maid of Sunshine claim Four air reservoirs and two boilers that were formerly used on shaft No. ] will be put in use also so that the company will soon be in shape to work on a much larger scale than heretofore.
 John Hamilton, one of the old tim CTS here. asked for a lease from the management Of the C. 2 A. company for a little strip of ground that lay between his cabin and another cabin just back Of the main street. He was laughed at by many who saw him start to work. He went to work in an old hole and began throwing oui old tin cans, etc, and this made more sport, but the next 6ay he had opened ID nice little body Of carbonate ore that opened the eyes of all who saw
 
 will net him good returns. Among the other leasors who are at work are the following: On the (. & A. ground Frank Lyman and Nick Mccormick : John Hamilton. On the Great West : erl property: Bartini and Meeks ; Mattingly and Ratlih; Bartano and !, CorrettO; Wm. Hudson and Shattuck; Joe Williams: Nusso Brothers: James Gallagher, Chas. Gerdes and D. "
 Brown and company. On the Lead ville: Hayward S Ratliff. L. o. Fair child, John Perkins, Bright and Nc kinney, Dave Mcbride, J. M. Cabell and Mattingiy Brothers and Locking
 Most of the leasors have been doins
 fairly well while others who have
 been at work for a long time have , not shipped a pound of ore. The new . ruling of the smelters in advancing
 the smelting charges $2.50 ton or , the low grade ores and the present F high royalties paid to the companie.
 for the leases will have the effect oi : stopping some shipments. The dis
 trict, however, taken as a whole, i'
 making a good showing. The Lead
 vile company has about thirty men al work and regular shipments are be ing made.
