THE COMING MINE.

It was in the palmy days OF Phoebe that
Highland first came into prominence as
mining district, numerous claims ssaked
off and the different mines opened out,
among which, the principal one, was the
Mendha, under the management OF 2
French company. A fine 20-stamp mill
and smelter was erected, hosting works
put up and large amount of money ex-
Dended in developing the mine. Numer-
Gus shafts were sunk on the ledge and
tunnel was run in the course Of the vein
over 800 feet, and in ore the entire dis
lance. But upon getting everything in
readiness to start up, it was found that
tbe ore could not be Woodworking a
foo large per cent. OF lead to mill and
quartz in porpotion too great to admit of
being smelted Thus the owners were in
a dilemma, having sunk large sums OF
money, the ore proving rebellious, and
having 10 the main body, failed, and
the mill and mine sold to the Typo Con-
solidated Company of Typo, where the
mill now stands to-day Not stroke Of
work has been done on the Mendha for
NJ nths. but becoming subject to reloca-
ton different parties took hold of it, but
ore in sight at that time being low grade,
nothing was ever realized until few
months ago. The property being pur-
chased by the Hillside M. & M. Company
of Bristol q few men were put to work
taking out ore, and upon the arrival OF
NJ D. Howell of the Hillside thorough
inspection of the mine was made, and see-
ing at glance that the Mendha was
big mining proposition, he accordingly
increased the working force from two men
to twenty three, and has ordered from
below a large patent whim, similar to
that in use at the Day. Under the en-.
ergetic supervision of Manager Howell!
operations are rapidly being pushed
ahead, large bodies of ore have been un'
covered and the mine is in such shape
that it could easily show an output Of
from forty to eighty tons OF ore per day
averaging over $45 per ton. The ore is
assorted up to $40 and from ten to twenty
tons are shipped daily to the furnace
where it is huked in with Hillside ore
in the proportion of fifteen tons O
Mendha to twenty-five of Hillside ane
other ores. As it carries good deal O
lead, and the per cent. in quartz being
lessened by asserting, it makes splendid
flux, though still carrying too much silic'
to smelt alone. The Hillside Company
have come to the conclusion that in thu
Mendha they have MINE, and az Man
ager Howell says it is the intention t.
erect a 2O-stamp mill with concentrators
ship the concentrations to the furnace TO
reduction, and pan the slums, in tina
way the ore can be worked to handsom
profit and Southeastern Nevada will Il
time once more have dividend-payin
property.

PENNSYLVANIA DISTRICT. Mr.. Hodger,
the mining expert who came here for the
purpose of examining and reporting upon
mines in Pennsylvania District, returned
from his trip there to Phoebe Sunday.
He made assays of all the samples he
took from the mine, and found them to
60 as represented, but still he was not
satisfied and fearing an accident in TAX
ing samples, or in assaying them, he was
to have started again Tuesday morning,
in company with Ben. James, to again
sample the McDougall mine, intending
this time to take the samples to San Fran
cisco with him and assay them there and
make his report, but receiving Telegram
from San Francisco Tuesday he did no
go to the mine, but was obliged to re
turn there
