Wednesday last the Ticup mill was

following day. There has beep an old in
d~ebtedness on the property, contracted be-
fore the mill was startdd up, which has en-
barrassed the manager here in meeting his
regular pay-days with the employees, and not
outstanding fair bullion shipments have
been made since the mill started up. the out
put was not sufficient to pay off the back debt
and meet current expenses. The fault no
doubt lies with the directors in New York.
who expect too much of their manager here.
and have hampered him at the beginning of
his operations. There is no question about
merits of the mine aud its ability to pay off
all Indebtedness, If given a fair show. We
have 1t on undoubted authority that large ore
breasts ars exposed on every level from the
second TO the eight. On the second level south
q S-foot vein has been opened, which gives as
says of from $50 to $500. On the eighth level, in
the prospecting drift, a lively quartz vein has
been encountered which Is expected in ten
feet more to reach a rich chimney. judging
from the upper workings. Altogether, the
mine looks well. and in view of this fact Ii is
unfortunate that this new enterprise has been
brought to a stand still. Indications. how
