Driving of The Chiefs Tunnel
 Is Being Done With Speed And Famous Watson Fis- sure Will Be Tapped Soon.
SILVER VALUES ARE
 FOUND IN WORKINGS
September l May See The Tunnel At Its Objective Point. Complete Machin- cry Responsible For Pro- gress.

SUPERIOR, Ariz.. May 19,-Driv- ing of the Magma Chief tunnel in the famous Watson Assure is now going forward at the rate of eight feet day. with two shifts being con stantly employed. The tunnel is now in a distance of 365 feet. having pro gressed over 200 feet since the new machinery was put into operation on April 1. At a distance of 1200 feet from the mouth it is expected that the tunnel will cut the lateral maga- nese ledge. known throughout the. district as the Il. s. & A. ledge" according to a report of Superintend- ent Charles A. Kumke on operations at the property, just submitted to the board of directors
 The manganese ledge is one of the most noticeable formations in the district, being easily traceable from Queen Creek throUfsh the entire length of the Magma Chief property. It is from this same ledge that the Magma Copper Company is making daily shipments of high grade cop per ore. operating on its end of the same formation.
 In spite of the fact that for months practically all orders for mining ma chinery and equipment have been subject to delay. Superintendent Kumke succeeded in getting prompt delivery of a full complement of heavy machinery for the Magma Chief. Following a resurvey of the claims and building of 5000 feet of wagon road to connect with the Sil- yer King road. pumping plant was installed on the newly-acquired Ger aid Canslar claim, where a living spring affords an adequate srinrst of water for domestic and operation purposes. The water from this spring had to be piped 5000 feet to the camp site at the mouth of the Watson tun- neI. In just twenty days from the time the spring was purchased pump ing machinery was installed and was throwing water to the tunnel mouth
 In order to obtain a suitable camp site and at the same time gain 135 feet in depth for the Watson tun- nel. the Long Wedge claim was pur- chased and added to the company's holdings. It is on this claim that the permanent camp has been estsb- lished. cook and bunk houses built. and the power plant. which includes a 50 h. D. Fairbanks Morse oil en- zine and a 300 foot Sullivan con- pressor set up. Three jackhammer drills were placed in operation about April 1. and since that date work of driving the tunnel has been speeded up. If the present rate of progress is maintained. 1t is estimated that the manganese ledge. from which the Magma is shipping high grade cop per ore. will be out before September 1. 1917.
 Assays of the rock now being talk en from the Watson tunnel show some silver values in the ganganese and iron oxides. accordiug to Superint. tendent Kumke. The Assure is un- usually well-defined. and closely re- sembles the productive Assure of the Magma Copper Company. which 1t parallels at a horizontal distance from it of about $500 feet.

VERDE TUNNEL ID BE STARTED
 VERY SOON
Potter Construction Company Will Drive Long Tap Into 1900 Level of The United Verde Extensions Property.

In recent description of United Verde Extension, the wonderful cop per mine recently developed at Jerome, Ariz., Iron Ore spoke of a big tunnel job then in contemplation, says George Newett in Iron Ore. It has just been secured by the Potter Construction Company, an organization effected within the last several weeks, and in which MT. Dan J. O'Rourke, for many years associated with the Sullivan Machinery Company. Chicago, will be the moving force, he being an expert rock opener. With the Sullivan com pany he looked after the big jobs in connection with marble Quarries, tun- nels,. etc, and had much to do with. the tunnels at Niagara Falls in har- messing up this great power to many manufactures. He was also a drill expert for the company. being familiar with steels and how to best temper and shape them for all kinds of rock cutting. As a young man he was blacksmith.
 Will Do Rapid Work.
 The contract let to the Potter Con struction Company, is to be finished by the 18th of June, 1918. The work consists of putting in a tunnel a dis tance of 13,500 feet to connect with the 18th level of the mine. to be big enough to accommodate 30-ton cars. and to be a first-class job in every way The cost will approximate half a million dollars, and Mir. O'Rourke is now organizing his force for the start. The rock to be cut wtll be diorite. quartz-porphyry and limestone. The waste will go into the valley below the portal of the tunnel or to other points where it may have value in filling, etc.
 Will Be Big Help to Mine.
 This tunnel will take all of the ore of the mine, saving about 1.200 feet hoisting and pumping, will be an added avenue of safety to the miners and very valuable in reducing present costs. The ore from the mine now goes by aerial tramway down the valley to the railway, an expensive plan com

Single Roof a Menace.

The ordinary single roof is a, ire

single has been exposed to the
weather for a time 1t becomes SO In

ON ordinary wind will carry these burn

other some distance away. This was
clearly demonstrated at the contagra"

at Paris, KY. OF the total number OF

the use of untreated wooden shingles
In closely built up community could
be found than that furnished by this
latest conflagration. Practically the
only residence in the path Of the flames
which was but little damaged was
rooted with incombustible material. In
the reconstruction of the city the use
of wooden shingles without fire-retard-
ant treatment should be absolutely
prohibited.

SEEK GOLD IN CEMETERY
Murderer Believed to Have Hidden
Large Sum In Burial Ground
pc at Pomona, Cal.

One morning recently there was
found a hole in the ground under a
gigantic sycamore tree in the east END
of the Pomona (Cal.) cemetery. Inc
incident reopens a mystery which
puzzled the people Of this community
ten years ago and was never solved.
The mystery seems deeper than ever.
One morning about ten years ago
the cemetery caretaker discovered that
somebody had dug hole five feet
long and two feet deep under huge
limb of the sycamore. When the In
ctdent was Investigated 1t was learned
that a man who had just finished
serving 80 years in the penitentiary
had been seen strolling through the
cemetery a few days earlier. His his
tory was traced and 1t was learned
that the ex-convict had served time
for killing an old miner, from
whom. 1t is alleged, he had stolen
$4,000 in gold.
The incident caused great excite
ment. During the next few weeks the
cemetery was honeycombed with holes
which were dug By treasure seekers

Tennessee has had 60 such leglsia-
