 TOMBSTONE. May 1S.-With sii- yer advancing and lowering around the v and IS cent mark. there is cer- tainly silver lining to the cloud that has been lowering over the old camp for the past twenty years With sil- yer at the present price there Is hard Iy dump in the district that could not be handled at the present time and profit made out of it were it not for the fact that the shelters are Ov- CT stocked and are refusing the ore. But this fact is not going 10 keen number of parties from going 10 work on their properties and getting out ore with the expectation that there will be chance 10 ket some ship ments into the smelters-
 The Bunker Hill Company is rapid ly increasing it's force and now has over five hundred men on the payroll aBa- have increased their shipments 70 an average of five 10 six cars day The shipments not only include the manganese fiuxing ores that are ship ned to the smelters al Douglas and Fl Paso. but the concentrates that are shipped direct to the eastern steel markets. but from two 10 three cars a day Of silver ore from the various properties.
 The mill is running night and day on ore to concentrate from the Ore gon and Escondido shaft and this is shipped east. The new ore bin at the mill has been completed so that the ore hauled from these mines is now fed directly 70 the conyeyor belt di- rect into the mill. The usual ship ment of bullion was made during the past week 10 the Selby Smelling Com pary at San Francisco.
 A; the Silver Thread and Tranquili- " the company has a force of men al work who are taking out regular ship ~-ents of silver-lead carbonate ores These bodies of ore have been deysl- oDed for some time hut were of most too low grade to handle before but al present can be made tO give excellent returns There have been uncovered in both of these properties several bodies of high grade ore that will run several hundred ounces of silver to the ton to say nothing of the percen- taee of lead and about an ounce in gold. The company will not al the present time ship this class of ore but will devote their efforts to getting out the ore of the lesser values that can now be handled at profit. as the oth- or will provide good returns al any time.
 Al tho Silver Plume. Emerald and Bunker Hill considerable develop ment work is being done and ore Is being taken ont and hauled to the rail road and loaded The same may be said of the Telephone.
 The company has never made any effort 10 handle the water prObleT' that caused the downfall of the old Tombstone Consolidated but have pumped about 100000 gallons daily for the use of the mines and mill. The water has never reached it's former level since the closing down Of the Tombstone Consolidated and is now raising al rate 0f from four to five inches a month Tt is still conside-a- hle below the 500 foot level The pumping of the one hundred thousand gallons seems to make no difference with the rate in which the water rises
 With silver al. the present price the outlook for the comnany is much norn encouraging than it has been since operations have been started by the Bunker Hill coTpauy. The present outlook is that silver will remain at the present price or even better on account of the conditions in Europe Europe is roarding it's gold. and as the gold disappears from circulation silver takes it's place. That requires far larger volume of silver bullion for coinage purposes. and the in creased demand raiSe~ the price just ss it would in the ease of any other commodity
 That the company is making good in the venture in the Tombstone dis trict is welcome news to not only the tContinued on Psse T-To)
