 The Fl Paso Times in a recent issue has the following to say of the proper ty:
 "A new mining company, composed of prominent old time mining men of Tombstone, was recently organized and has taken over a group of 15 mines, about six miles southwesterly from that city 23 miles northwest of Bis bee and less than a mile from Charles ton, the nearest railroad station. A J. Bacher and G. F. Stelsel, brokers, of Prescott, Ariz., have opened an of | flee in 412 Mills building in this city as representatives of the company. T have just come from the Tom bstone district" says MT. Bacher, and have thoroughly investigated the War Horse properties and believe them to lbe about the most attractive | have seen in Arizona; so much ESQ that have disposed of my holdings in the Jerome district and beceme interest ed in the War Horse"
 The personnel of the officers is con- posed of practical and successful min- | ing men, H. T. Fisher, originally took up the properties and formed a company of Pittsburgh capitalists Sev- eral years ago, and did extensive de lvelopment work before the properties were taken over by the new company.

 Developments and ore Bodies Ex-
 posed.
 On the War Horse mine is a double compartment shaft sos feet deep, tim bered to the bottom, with crosscut on the 200 foot level with east and west drifts containing shipping ore and there is a large stump with station pump. On the 400 foot level is cross cut, a large stump and station pump. At the 265-foot level the shaft cut a Hedge of copper ore five and half feet wide and the ore averaging eight per cent copper, 16 ounces silver and $1 in gold per ton. At 2S6 feet depth low grade ore was cut and continued to 315 feet depth, until it departed from the shaft on the dip. The cross cut on the 400 foot level was driven through this big vein a distance of l27 feet, but had not been extended liar enough to cut the rich fye-foot copper vein cut on the 200 foot level labove. At 450 feet depth high grade ledge was cut by the shaft that can be cut by crosscutting from the bottom at 425 foot level.
 On the War Eagle mines are shafts 100 feet, S5 feet and 60 feet deep, each and on the other claims are enor- nous shallower shafts from 10 to 50 fleet deep, some of which show high grade ore and all showing some ore. The big 27-foot wide ledge in the War Horse shaft cut at 400 feet depth runs through six claims, a distance of 5000 fleet, evidenced by the bold outcrop- ping Where crosscut at 400 foot level the entire ledge is said to aver lage SIS per ton in gold and copper The mines are to be unwatered, air drills and compressors installed and further development prosecuted. sink ing the shaft 200 feet deeper and ship lping ore started to the smelter. The estate of the War Horse Copper com lpany, says MT. Bacher, is not mere prospect. but practically a developed mine with remarkable ore bodies eX-
 posed for stoping and are in the Tombstone district, which has pro- duced nearly 40 million dollars in the days gone by.
