The ponobscot gold-qnar,z mine, which
was once sold for a large sum of money, has
been under a cloud for several months. The
Herald says that it is we'll known that the
Ponobscot mine has not been paying eX-
penses for y long time. The mine, since it
has been in the hands of the present com-
pany, has yielded 100000. The ore has
averaged $40 Per ton, but the cost OF mining
aud milling has been SIS, while the other
mines in the vicinity mine and mill Their ore
al u cost of from ten TO sixteen dollars per
ton. This shows systematic bad manage
nlent. The best miners and mill men who
have expressed an opinion, say the mire will
pay if properly worked, and that there should
be s. profit on every ton Of quartz taken out
OF the PonObscot.

DEEP ENT
a Rich Specimen u Alice Rock.

AT the T00-fnot level of the Alice mine, The
average of the ore-vein is high grade, and
some OF the rock is exceedingly rich. Super
intendenl Hall has favored the MINER office
with a beautiful and rich specimen of Alice
ore from the ore-vein 700 feet deep. This
rock shows the native silver quite prnfusely,
and exhibits the nature of the vein-rock in
the deepest workings Of the Alice mine. The
assay value of the body of ore from which
this specimen was taken is one hundred and
seyenty-nine ounces to the ton i'll silver.
The opening of a rich vein OF ore 700 feet
deep in the Alice proves to the world that the
silver veins of the Summit Valley district
run deep and grow richer as depth is attained.
This has been the opinion Of the ablest mill
ing scientists that have passed opinions on the
veins of this district, ami as the work Of deep
development is made the theory of the per-
manency of the mines, and the increased val
ue OF the ore, is fully sustained. This spec
linen of rich Alice rock may b. seen by call
ing at the MINER office.

Stock holders Rights

IL is safe to conclude that when a mining
company declines to make known the condl-
ton of its property or affairs TO Its %stockhold-
ders, or to the public, there is something atoat
that is not what it should be. A mining ex-
change holds the following sensible view Of
the rights Of stockholders "The stockhold-
els of a mining or other stock company have
just as much right to know all abou. the
cOmpany's affairs as has tho president, secre-
tary or any other membe of The organization.
Every stakeholder in a mining company is
member of the company, just as surely as IS
every owner in a commercial firm a MEM
Der of that firm. 1t is true that the stock
holder III a mining company votes Tor the
officers of the company, and in doing 50
authorizes the officers to act for him in their
several official capacities, but 10 further.

WOOD RIVER
The MImIn: districts AMI the Character
sf the Ores.

So much inquiry is made about the Wood
River country that We condense a description
OF that mining country from the Virginia
City, New, Enterprise. That country, no
doubt, is full to overlooking with men, and
there are no Inducements for Montanians to
go there.
The Enterprise says the Wood River coun-
try embraces three mining districts: Mineral
Hill, Warm Springs and Sawtooth. On the
west are the gold mining camps OF Atlanta
and Rocky Bar; on the east the quartz mines
of Custer and Bonanza City; north an unex-
plored country: south the lava beds of Snake
river. The mineral belt is sixty miles long
bv forty miles wide. The country rock is
lime. slate, granite, porphyry and trachyte.
Warm sulphur springs burst up in a dozen
different parts of the belt. In Mineral Hill
district the ores are carbonates and galena
combined with anthony and zinc. In Warm
Springs and Sawtoolh is found a considerable
amount Of fire. milling ere.

EUREKA.
RICH ORE STRUCK IN THE 7OO.FEOT
LEVEL OF TIL ALICE NINE
Another New Boranxa Chute In the
Magma sirarua.

For some time we have been patiently await
lrg the opportunity to announce, in a reliable
manner, the result of the development going
on at the 7O0-foot level of the monarch of
mines-the Alice. Great interest has been
attached to the opening Of the Alice vein at
a depth of 700 feet, and the work has been
going on steadily, but surely, for some time
past, under the close scrutiny of the superin-
tandent, and no authoritative information
was made public until last night. The min
ing world will be highly g~ratified to
learn that the Alice vein has been
struck by the cross-cut running from the 700
foot level. Superintendent Hall gave the
MINER reporter the reliable intelligence last
evening that the cross cut, in a distance of
eighty.fve feet from the 70O-foot level, had
just struck a compact vein OF solid ore of "a
rich character. Assay of this ore resulted in
showing one hundred and twenty-seven
ounces in silver to the ton. This information
is perfectly reliable as it comes directly from
Superintendent Hall, who is managing the
vast interests Of the Alice Company with
haihcu aoiiity. Inc Importance oI InlS
strike is great, and the future will fully de-
mloustrate that fact.
Another new bonanza chute of rich ore
has just been struck in the Magma Charta,
which is the eastern extension of the Alice
on the Rainbow vein. In the main shaft of
the Magma Charta, in one of the levels, a ten
foot vein of rich ore has just been opened,
which assays 80 ounces in silver to the ton.
The Magma Charta is the property of the
Alice company, and the combined strikes here
reported will have a tendency to send the
stock O: the company up high. Mining de-
Velopments, of this description, are what will

THAT SUPPOSED MURDER
The Arrest OF Nelson for the Murder Of
Alison,

4 few days ago we published all account of
the arrest of Earl J. Nelson, by the deputy
sheriff of Jefferson county, Thomas Dalton.
Nelson was taken into custody for the killing
of j. Alison. Nelson called at the MINER
office yesterday and explained the matter in
this way: The deputy sheriff took him in
charge, without a warrant, and he accompa-
MED the deputy TO Butte and then back to
the Park. Nelson says the deputy told him
he would let him Off to go 10 Wood river or
elsewhere, if he, Nelson, would pay the dep
uty $500 or $500, and that he refused to give
up" when the deputy released Inn. About
the death Of Alison, which occurred in a
cabin in the Park, Nelson says that Alison
died from the effects of excessive drinking,
about twenty.four hours after reaching the
house in the Park. The statement of Nelson
puts an entirely different phase on the affair,
and makes it look as though money was the
object sought.

THE LAND
What tile Branch Of BUTTE Has Accom-.
pIisheu.

The auxiliary branch of the Irish Land
League OF Butte, held its regular monthly
meeting at Owsley's Hall on last Sunday
evening. A fair turnout Of members We're
in attendance. The usual business of the
League was transacted, and the report of the
treasurer was made. From the report of the
treasurer it appeared that the receipts of the
League in this city, since its organization,
have been S63S.50, and the expenses have
been $1,000, leaving Il balance of S4GS. 10.
OF this sum Mrs. James Mathews raised $50
from the sale OF shamrockS, and the League
passed IA unanimous vote Of hanks to Mrs.
Mathews for her labors in the good work.
The amount, $4GS.1 10, has been forwarded to
tie editors of the Irish World to be by them
applied TO the cause. The other business OF
the league was uninport ant, and it adj
juurned after It pleasant and satisfactory
meeting.

hoisted yesterday was OF the same character
as that reported so often in the past.
hAGNA cHARrA.
In the different workings of the Magma
Ctarta the mine is looking well. The bo-
nanza chutes of ore lately noticed are all
holding their own, both as regards uniformity
in thickness and the assay value Of 1.-the ore
daily extracted from the mine. In the main
shaft, level running, both to the east and
west, continues on the ore vein, which main-
tains an average width of ten feet. Much of
this ore assays high, while the dump will
yield assays running from 8 11S ounces in
silver to the ton. In the tunnel the sinking

AMI-SILVERsMITH. .
Work On the shaft on the north vein Of The
Amy-Silversmith mine is progressing quite
favorably. This shaft IS sinking On the north
vein, for developing purposes, and it is OPEN
ing and prospecting a rich vein as it goes
downward. No work has been attempted At
the south shaft since the mine has been COB
sOlidated and Incorporated. The favorable
location of the mine and the fact that drain
age Is expected from the Moulton, adds great
ly to its value, as the expense of working it
several hundred feet deep will be compara-
lively light. The amount of high grade ore
now developed in the Amy-Silversmith places
it in such a position as to command the atten-
ton of investors. No stock. has yet been
placed regularly Oh the market, but consider
able inquiry has been made after il. Yes,er-
day there was quite a stir around town about
Amy-Silversmith stock.
BELL.
President Meader's report tn the stock
holders Of the Bell Company, at their meet
ing lately, was a comprehensive explanation
Of the openings and workings OF the Bell
mine. The ore out put Of the mine is about
thirty tons per diem. This ore IS piled up
on the dump supposedly to await the erection
of smelling works by the Bell company.
The ore explorations in the Bell aggregate
many hundreds of feet in length on a vein of
very rich ore, the rapid extraction of which is
now made a matter OF ease and expedition
as the new and powerful steam hoisting ma
chinery is especially adapted to the PERFORM
ance of the work required.
