Ores mined by each Of the eight men in tcrested in the project will keep the mill running seven days a week. each interested leasor to furnish the labor in connection with the milling of his ore during the day or days his ore is being nut through the reduction process. In this manner practically no expense fer extra labor will be in cured. it is figured. which will make the mill a paying proposition. Later. it is figured. custom ores might be handled.
 The new mill project will be con centration and cyanide plant at the ste of the State of Maine and is be- ing backed by George Kilt and Com pany of Tucscn, who have taken a lease on the State Of Maine and other dumps Kit and his engineer and manager H. O. Hammond, and Mir. Sirbring, arrived in Tombstone last week and work of erection of the plant will be started at the earliest opportunity.
 One of matters confronting them f, hn originally intended should be surt piled from the Huachuca Water com pany. but owing to the shortage the company will endeavor to pump suf- ficient water from that locality if available. which is one of the prob lens to be determined.

 With the starting of the Co-opera- tive Mill. the National Metals Recov- cry G.. mill. the Holland mill all turning out concentrates, the addi- ton of the State of Maine mill will make Tombstone scene of busy sil- yer mining activity and the outlook so far as Tombstone is concerned is rosy.
