shell Property.
Tombstone. Ariz.. March 25. Another
200 horsepower toiler for the power de-
partment of the T. C. M. company Is
expected to arrive within the next 15
days and will be installed alongside of
the battery of -nine similar boilers now
In operation on he hill.
The ninth boiler was put in opera-
tion lately and in a. short time 2000
horsepower will oe available to fur-
nish steam for the numerous station
and sinker pumps huge compressor and
engines-'Of the big- plant operating the
main shaft of the T. C. M. Co.'s hold-
ings The water has been lowered about 25
feet below the 900 level andgradually
a steady gain is being made to re-
cover the flooded 1000 level and the
Jumbo station pump on that level. Once
the pump Is set in motion together
with the joint working of the twin
pumps on the S00 level the watery
"barriers will vanish and the work of
exploration be prosecuted without hin-
drance from that source.
EI PasoaHS Develop Mine.
At the Hershell mine owned by El
Paso people Manager Douglas Gray
reports regular development with a
good force kept constantly at work.
Shipments are made steadily to the EI
Paso -smelter and the ore of this mine
Is of high grade-
General manager Fisher of the Pitts-
burg & Arizona and the Cochise Min-
ing companies is arranging for the
early resumption of work on these
properties. -
A body of ore has just been opened
on the property of Taafe & "Winters
which promises to be of immense extent-Several
leasers are "working inthe
Tombstone district and occasional
shipments are being made to th Doug-
las smelters.
"Work will soon be begun on the fa-
mous old Bunker Hill mine.
REPAIR SACRA?ri3H'iO SHAFT.
Bisbee Ariz. ' Marcn 25. The repair
-work at the Sacramento shaft of the
Copper Queen Consolidated Mining
company has been finished and all the
men "are again working. A number of
shifts were lost owing to the fact that
hoisting had to be temporarily discon-
tinued from the lower levels. It is e5
pected that the output from the. Queen
mines win show a slight decrease on
the month of March oa this account.

ISTew Ore Encounetred in the
Little Daisy Near Jer-
ome Arizona.
What is believed to be one of the
greatest copper strikes in the history
of Arizona is reported to have just been
made in the Little Daisy ground of the
United Verde Extension Mining com-
pany near Jerome being a body of nine
feet of ore carrying red oxide of copper
and copper glance which was cut at a
depth of 800 feet. A remarkable con-
dition in mining was proved in this
discovery the ore body being practically
solid mineral.
J. J. Fisher general manager came
into town from camp' bringing several
samples of the red oxide and copper
glance and created the greatest en-
thusiasm. For three years work of exploration
has been prosecuted until after several
hundred feet of sinking and drifting
this new ore body was suddenly en-
countered. The miners noticed the
change in appearance of the drillings
and began panning them and the re-
sults -were astounding as the bottom
of the pan showed native copper an such
quantities as to excite the miners who
were conversant with big values.
The company owns three claims of
nhich the main one Is in the gulch run-
ning through the town of Jerome and
below the United Verde.
MORE ORE SHIPPED
TO EL PASO S3IEL.TER.
Silver City N. M March 25. The Bo-
hemian Mining company is loading
three cars of ore from its Grand Cen-
tral mine located in Chloride Grat
mining district about two miles from
this city. The ere is a lead-silver ore
which carries a high percent of lime
and iron and makes a very desirable
ore for a smelter.
The ore will be shipped to the El Paso
smelting wrorks. This mine has been
a steady producer for the last five
years.

EL PASO IS MmE THAT GIF!S. Howard Leech Asks Why
This City Does Not Build
Up the District and Its
Own Trade.
Orogrande N. M. March 25.
Editor El Paso Herald:
In behalf of the citizens and mine
owners of the Orogrande mining dis-
trict I desire to register a decided pro-
test against the "knpeking" of El Paso
against this camp. I have hesitated a
long time in voicing this protest but it
has come to the point where patience
has ceased to be a- virtue and it is now
a maTter of self preservation.
So pronounced has this "knocking"
become and so persistently is it adhered
to by the El Paso interests that it has
become a common street "saying that it
is impossible to get any mining man
through El Paso out to this camp.
To make my meaning entirely clear I
beg to quote a letter which the writer
received yesterday. In explanation I
will say that together with a corre-
spondent and associate at another min-
ing point I have worked for two or
three months to bring this person from
Jfew Tork to Orogrande to look over a
group of mining properties. This man
finally advised us that he was coming
west and would on Ills trip stop and
make an examination of the properties
in question.
Falls to Visit Camp.
On his arrival at Denver he wrote
me when he would be In El Paso and
asked for instructions relative to reach-
ing Orogrande which were forwarded
to him at the Sheldon hotel. The fol-
lowing letter explains the result-
Tucson Ariz. March 22 1910.
Mr. S. Howard Leech
Orogrande N. M.
Dear sir I am in receipt of your
letter addressed to me at the Sheldon
hotel El Paso of the 11th inst.
After discussing the Orogrande dis-
trict with some engineers that I know-
very -well in El Paso I decided not to
visit your property at -this time as my
time was Imited and I had under con-
sideration other important examina-
tions. Regretting that I had not the pleasure
of meeting you personally and inspect-
ing your mines I am
Very truly yours
This is merely illustrative of the con-
ditions as they exist- Over and over
again the same thing has happened to
different people coming through El
Paso on their way to Orogrande t-o In-
spect mining properties. This is not
always chargeable to engineers by any
means but the "knocking" seems to
come from all classes creeds and na-
tionalities so to speak.
Good Prospects.
To show the common feeling here
when I advised the persons interested
In the deal that this man was coming
through EI Paso they freely predicted
DEVELOP MINE
NEAEBISBEE
Two Compartment Shaft Is
Opened by Bisbee Ex-
tension Develop-
ment Co.
The copper country -which the United
States geological survey has named the
Warren nuadranele has recentlv been
exte'nded In area several miles to the
northwest by the development now go-
ing on iin the properties of the Bisbee
Extension Development company con-
sisting of 765 acres of patented ground
and a large area of mineral ground
around it held by the same company.
It is about seven miles northwest of
Bisbee Ariz. and on the edge of the
JJule mountains along the -wagon road
from Bisbee to Tombstone and six miles
east of the railroad station of Lewis
Springs on the railroad. These prop-
erties are r where the northwest extrem-
ity of the porphyry intrusion comes in
contact with the limestone formation
of which intrusion the "Sacramento
Hill" of Bisbee is the southeast ex-
tremity. Geological Conditions.
This limestone formation is cut by
several distinct faults running in all di-
rections and the surface openings made
anywhere on these faults show oxidized
copper and in one place ore of very
high grade carrying as high as 200
ounces silver and 65 percent copper per
ton. At the surface the copper while
not of great quantity in any great cen-
tralised mass is nevertheless present
wherever these faults are openec. The
existence of copper along these fault
planes proves conclusively that the
mineral bearing solutions caused by the
porphyry intrusions permeated the
fractured limestones over a large area.
The property has been opened by a
two-compartment shaft to a depth of
750 feet at which the ground level has
been encountered. At this level drifts
will be run both north and south to
cut the faults which are about 1000 feet
each from the collar of the shaft.
On the 400 foot level 2040 feet of
drifting has been done 1200 feet of
which was through leached ground
showing Immense bodies of ferruginous
clays carrying o.uantities of manganese-
oxide and also showing small per-
centages of copper carbonates with sil-
ver throughout the mass. This ground
shows great water action as evidenced
by several large caves and water
counses that were encountered. These
underground conditions are identical
Tvith the conditions encountered in the
upper levels" of the other lars-p. onr.-
mines of Bisbee. particularly in the
Superior and Pittsburg and neighboring
mines.
The property is equipped with ma-
chinery adequate for development on a
large scale. The superintendent is
George "W. Long of Bisbee.
ABOUT MIXING 3IEX.
J. L. Wells manager of the Lords-
burg Mining and Reduction works at
Pyramid N. M. is at the Sheldon.
Maj. R. M. Randall of Lordsburg
was in the city and left for Douglas
last night to look after a carload of
ore he shipped to the Copp.er Queen
smelter there. The ore Is frcm a new
property he located recently a ad is said
to be rich iln copper and gold contents.
he would never reach Orogrande and
so it proved. i
Now it is true that we do not have J
any large number of dividend paying t
mining propositions In this district at
this 'time but it is also true that there
Is not a more thoroughly mineralized
district or a district more thoroughly
equipped by first class railroad mail
express and general local conditions in
the entire southwest. It is also true
that there has been a good deal of ex-
celent ore shipped out and smelted in
the district. The very properties In-
cluded in the proposition which this
man was coming to look over have a
shipping record of 4000 tons of copper
gold ores with values varying from
30 to 330 pounds of copper per ton and
with gold values running from $1.00 to
$9.00 per ton and including 40 carloads
that averaged about $5.00 in gold and
$24.00 in copper per ton.
It is not claimed that this lis a bonan-
za mine but it is an excelent prospect
and was being presented as such and 1
have no hestitation in saying that there
ia not an engineer in El Paso that
knows anything of practical value con-
cerning this property and very little
if anything of value concerning any
other Orogrande mining property yet
judging from appearances and plain in-
sinuations they take it upon themselves
to turn our camp down and this too
without knowing anything about the
property.
Wnnts Fair Show.
"Were this merely a single or Isolated
case no attention would have been taken
of the matter but it lias become a
notorious fact that El Paso as a city
is eternally and everlastingly "knock-
ing" Orogrande and this mining district
and 'this in spite of the fact that E1
Paso gets practically every dollars'
worth of trade done in Orogrande. Is
this right? I& there any justice in such
a condition. Does El Paso want to do
business with Orogrande or does she
want to turn the trade to some other
point.
The citizens of this community are be-
ginning to ask these questions and some
have gone so far as to advocate a busi-
ness boycott against El Paso as a mat-
ter of self interest.
"Why does not El Paso give Oro-
grande a fair show? "Why does she
as a city not help to build up this dis-
trict and help develop our mines and
thus help to build her own future and
her own territory.
"Knocking" another locality never
built up any city. Tearing down one
community never builds up another.
The territory surrounding El Paso must
be fostered built up and aided in every
possible way if El Paso would build
her own structure permanently.
Some day Orogrande is going to be
one of the greatest mining camps in
the southwest lis the opinion of as good
engineers as El Paso can boast- There
is no question but that the mineral
zone Is here. The present Question is
one of development. Does EI Paso '
want to help in this development or
does she want to retard it. "Which Is
she going to do?
A'ery sincerely yours
S. Howard Leech.

The Gold Crown Mining and Develop-

in the east end of the Graham moun-
tains In the Sparks mlnmg district. Is
now making preparations to resume
work again on Its properties.
The ore encountered in the Eva shaft
during the last ten days work last
fall was of such character in volume
and values as to warrant the company
in a continuance of the workings on
the Sure Shot claim according to offi-
cials. The company will resume work
with seven mines working three shifts.
It will also use some men putting the
roads -In better shape.
Walter Sparks vice president and
general manager who will be on the

ACTIVE WORK IN
YUMA DISTRICT
Many Properties With Gold
Bearing Ore Are Be-
ing Developed.
Reports from the North Star mine
and the country around 1n the district
near Yuma Ariz. confirm more and
more the belief that that section la des-
tined to be one of the richest gold pro-
ducing districts in the west. From the
explorations made it seems now quite
certain that the gold bearing rock con-
sists of five principal veins running
parallel an a north and southwest di-
rection besides numerous stringers
some of which are almost large enough
to bo- classed as veins.
The main shaft of the North Star is
down about 500 feet and values found
inthe rock in the bottom are as great
as that found at the surfaee by the
original locator. Only rock that carries
$50 or more is being worked now and
that of lower grade is bedng stored for
future handling.
The King of Arizona and the Star are
the deepest mines in te district but
these have demonstrated the depth and
continuity of the ore and values and
a number of other properties of similar
showing as far as worked are now be-
ing vigorously developed.
