Mining conditions in Tombstone are
exceptionally good. when one stops to
remember that our nearest smelling
plant at Douglas is not in operation,
and it is surprising that we have as
much activity as we really have OF
coruse this is explained to some ex-
tent by the fact that FL Paso will ac-
cept shipments from her eand also by
the fact that so many OF our miners
are busily engaged in completing the
big cooperative milling plant
The big strike on the Solstice mine
was great discovery for the camp,
