cents :silver, $5S.40; total S59.20. The silver content was based on value of 50 cents per ounce, with the test demonstrating the presence of 116.S ounces of silver to the ton of re. No assays was made to tertermine the value of the lead and inc by-products which characterize the Tuscumbia mountain ores.
 Before leavinb the ground Sullivan ascertained that it was open to reloca- tion. With the advent of milder wea ther and the partial disappearance of the overburden of snow Sullivan re- turned to the scene of his samplinfi and located 4500 feet of the ledge, min ing the claims TuscamDia, Tuscurora and Michigan. The group is located about nine miles from the Crown King mine and is not far distant from the famous Tiger group of silver claims. In fact, the ore bodies on the Tiger broup and on the Sullivan locations are identical in appearance. Samples of the latter are on display in the of ce of City Assessor Williams, where they have been examined and favor ably passed upon by a number of peo- pie who are familiar with the TOnopah ores.
 Subsequently Sullivan learned that the relocated property-as the Tus- cumbia group-had been worked at profit far back in the sos. The ore at that time mined wa spacked to mill on the backs of burros, the cost for mininf, milling and treating, be- ing 5000 per ton. Ore sampling as high as 600 ounces in silver was a feature of that early-day mining, and nothing less than $100 rock was touched. A search ufisthe records disclosest the fact that the property yielded nearly half a million dollars worth of bull lion to the original owners. At later period, lessees mined 5000 worth of ore. within a week Development work consisting of a series of tunnels, a shaft and a number of stopes in which high grade ore has been mined to grass roots.
 Sullivan states there is a large ton Bagesof commercially valuable silver lead-inc ore in the various workings, and on the dumps = sufficient, in fact, to keep 10Oton mill busy for five years. He will install the oil flota- tiofi process as the ores are amenable to. treatment thereby. The Crown King mill is treating similar ore by the Notation process and is reclaiming g 37 per cent of the values.
 The oil Notation process which is so thoroughly demonstrating it's worth in the Crown King mill, is also success fully treating the tailing dump of the 20-stamp mill on the old Tiger group of silver claims. M Grhelfall and partners, the lessees, are handling s6 to sS tailings at profit by utilising the old mill in conjunction with the process before mentioned. Many Many years ago shipments of 5000 per ton ore were made from this prop erty to San Francisco and Denver At that time the ore was freighted to Eh- renberg on the Colorado river, where it was loaded on boats and transport ed to the nearest railway point and thence to its destination as above. Later stamp mill was erected at the property for the reduction of the lower grade ores, the concentrates being shipped to outside points
 Ultimately, the capacity of the mill was increased to 20 stamps. With the remonetizing of silver, mine and mill became inert, remaining so until modern and more efficient reduction processes again made the Tiger ores commercially valuable. Although de velopment to only the comparatively nominal depth of 400 feet, this veteran producer of an absolute mining period netted its owners upward of $500,O0I under the most adverse mining, mill ing g,and shipping conditions.
