Col. D. 4. Powers, General Mana
ger of the Elk mountain and San jam
mining company. informs us that he
will stop work on their mines the firsr
of November, with the exception OF
the Adirondack lode in the lower
town, which they propose to work all
winter; also the Indian Girl and Vir-
g!nia Belle loses. Col. Powers has
let contracts for the erection of build
lngs on the Indian Girl, and will
work it with large force all winter.
lshe Virginia Belle lode is showing
up well, with ore carrying brittle, ma;
tive and chloride Of silver that ASSAYS
as high as 400 ounces. Col. Powers
intended working some property be-
longing to the company on Treasury
mountain, but the early fall Of snow
prevented it. They have some very
valuable property in that locality,
among which is the Fluno lode, ad-
joining the Pacific and near the Eureka
lodes. This property is looking we'll
with shaft down forty feet, showing
fine crystalized quartz, with very fine
grained galena that will assay as high
IS 800 ounces to the ton, the vein be-
ing rue fssure and 2S feet wide.
On the Adirondack he is making all
preparations for the winter, by erect
ing buildings and is laying in six
months supplies for ten men, SO that
they Will have no drawback during the
winter. Col. Powers sees the advan-
tage of working here in the winter in
preference to summer, as it is we'll
known we are not bothered near as
much with water in winter as we are
in summer. Through Col. Powers

ed over $4,000 II. developing their
property in this country this summer

that with the proper expenditure of

in he near future see the fruits of

The Propositions looking to compromise,

made up, and tae associations now decline
10 make any changes. The conservative

The tariff is rather q complicated affair,
and We would not venture upon comparl>
con with the rates that ruled in prosperous
times, but as we understand it the differences
now between the factors and shippers and
the executive council are not very great, or
ola sufficiently complicated nature to pre-
clude settlement; though the negotiations
are not in rs satisfactory state as we
should like to see them. We sincerely hope
that an understanding will be reached, and

promises TO be a prosperous one, will open
without the difficulties and complications

A sharp Yankee Trick

Mantle Conn. Cor. New York Times.
A novel transaction in real estate here has
escaped the attention of Connecticut jour
mails. The principal beauty of Mantle is its
expansive bay, seen from the main street
which runs along the front of the village,
separated from the water by the track of the
ShoIe Line railway. This street is much
above high water mark, and the value of the
property upon it chiefly consists in the un-
Distracted view of the bay and the SQUAD,
and is sweeping view, commanding Long
Island, Plum, Gardner's and Fishers
Islands, with innumerable small isles and all
the life that the busy commerce of the sound
produces. A modest appearing Yankee
from Hebron, small interior town in Tel.
land county came here q year ago on pr 9
pecting tour to build a small summer.house.
In come ingenious way be became possessed
of the TACT that the owners of land in the
main street did not own, as they all supposed,
the waterfront between the railroad track
and tha low water mark. He hunted up old
deeds and al last found the person in whom
the title TO the whole was vested, and bought
il for comparatively small sum of money.
His purchase covers the entire distance OF
the street where it keeps by the bank, and
extends westerly beyond the street course
giving him two or three Thousand feet OF
frontage. One morning the villagers woke
to the tact that 1t was possible for tho new
owner to erect cottages in front of their
houses ard shut of their prospect, and they
we're very indignant about it. At first Legal
measures we're threated, but ss good counsel
as Wsldo Hubbard and hyde, of Hartford,
and Judge Lipperl, of New London, advised
that nothing be done as the Hebron man bad
the best of it. Tho owner has made sstiOfsc
tory terms with some of the residents snd
probably all the others will be willing to do
SOM thing handsome to cave the value OF
what they already owned.
