SAFFORD II
Brief History of q Number of Mines
and Prospects.

STAFFORD, New, July 8, 1882.
uafamoun
Of work, with corresponding develop
ment, during the last fortnight, has been
done in the district, and everything looks
encouraging. During the present month
important changes are contemplated for
the better. The only drawback to the
prosperity Of this camp now is the failure
to resume work on the Onondaga mine.
By some mysterious process the idleness Of
that property seems to retard the success
full working Of all other properties in the
district, although there are others which
possess equally as much merit. But hap
PLY this condition of affairs promises to
cease soon, when Stafford District will as
sumo its merited position among the bull
lion producing districts Of the State.
The extraction of ore of a high grade
from the Key West is being diligently
done, and the absence Of Colonel Tyson
alone, the bondsman of the property, pre-
vents ore shipments. The prosecuting re-
ferred to in my last has been attended with
most encouraging results. The ledge con-

increase of water. They have now about
se~venty-ive tons of high grade ore on the
dump and are cramped for room, which
will necessitate an early shipment.
The Contention folks are busy sacking
ore, and have already about sixty sacks of
rich ore ready for shipment. No ship
ment, however. will be made until some
300 or 400 sacks are filled. The appear
ance of the mine remains unchanged.
On the Cumberland the shaft was sunk
to a depth Of twenty-five feet with the
most encouraging results, and although
the ledge at that depth did not yield the
assays that the groupings did, the showing
was of such a character as to convince the
owners of this property they had a mine
equal in value to any in the district.
Work on the Hancock claim has been
done with most encouraging results. The
tunnel has been driven into the mountain
a distance of twenty-five feet on the ledge,
carrying galena and s%ulphurets, and as
saying we'll. The ledge in the breast of
the tunnel is now four feet wide, the
width of the tunnel. A shaft will be sunk
near the mouth of the tunnel, when an
other Key West will be developed. The
acter, it is safe to make this prediction.
On the Mohawk the shaft is down about
t~hirty-five feet. They are still following
the ledge, which maintains its strength.
Considerable graphite or plumbago is
showing itself, but not in sufficient quanti-
ties to discourage the owner. They have
now over fifty tons of low grade ore on
the dump, and as soon as it improves a
shipment will be made.
Work on the Belcher, which is the south
ern extension of the Onondaga, has been
resumed, with most gratifying results.
In the May mine native silver has been
found.
The Horner, Greeley and several other
claims are being worked. These will be a
subject for future consideration.

Mining News Of July 2.

Mining Neaps Of July2 2.
Friday morning Thomas Clements,
Thomas Davy, J. Ely and Joseph Very
and his son Harry left for Colorado, where
they propose to locate.
The cable at the new shaft has now
been woven to a length Of 2,30S feet.
There are yet about TOO feet to complete,
and the Holmes brothers expect to have
this done inside of three weeks.
Our friend Jack McDermott was in to-
day from Prospect Mountain, and in
forms US that he has a bonanza in his
mine, the Little Mackay. We are pleased
to learn of Jacks good fortune, and hope
he's got it bigger'n a mountain and richer'n
mud.
We have the best of reasons for believ-
ing that Thomas Hosking has a friend in
Eureka who will back HIM for $500 against
any man in the Union Guard Company
to shoot a ~Creedmoor match of 200 yards.
Although we have no authority to issue
a challenge. We would like to see some of
the "eracks" interview Thomas on the sub
ject, and its dollars to cents that they find
him clear full of business.

MONTANA ORES.
Our NeighbOrs Alive to the ImpOr-
lance of the Exposition.

Our NeighbOrs Alive to the ImpOr-
tance of the Exposition.
The people of Montana find themselves
very much IN tho sarro- conditior as uur-
selves of Nevada in regard to the Mining
Exposition at Denver; that is, without any
legislation in reference thereto, and with
out funds necessary for the purpose of par
ticipation in the Exhibition. But the Mon
tanians have not stopped to e~xaggerate diff
ficulties; they have jumped at once into
the breach, and they will have their mines
md mining represented. How they have
gone to work the Butte Miner tells as fol-
lows:
cat a meeting to discuss ways and
means, all seemed impressed with the vital
importance of the matter to Butte as a
mining camp. The conduct Of Governor
Potts in not selecting a Territorial Com
missioner to represent Montana, for whose
expenses a legislative appropriation could
be had, was commented on. The Commit
tee realized the shortness Of the time
within which money must be raised, cases
for minerals made, minerals themselves
collected, shipped and put in place at Den
yer. Several of them expressed their be-
lief that the success of this movement was,
if anything, of more vital Importance to
the merchants and business men generally
than to mine.owners themselves. The
mine-owners take all the chances, and
must pay out the m monthly pay
roll whether their operations have been
specially profitable or not. The merchants
get the cream of this monthly outcome,
which in Butte to-day is not less than q
half million dollars, if it is a cent. These
considerations suggested the propriety of
having a special committee of merchants
aid in raising the funds.
at was agreed that the first thing to be
done was to raise money, and that unless
three thousand dollars could be raised at
once there would be no use in attempting
an exhibit. 1t was not thought that there
would be any difficulty whatever in raising
that amount. Committees were appointed
and instructed to canvass for subscriptions
at once. As to the Commissioner, it was
agreed that it would be time enough to
select him after the necessary funds were
raised"

JACOB NORRIS DEAD
An Excellent Man and Worthy Cit
izen Passes Away.

An Excellent Man and Worthy Cit.
izen Passes Away.
Jacob Morris, of the firm Of Morris &
Levy of this place, as was learned by tele-
graph, died in Virginia City Sunday morn
ing at 8 o'clock of consumption. The
body was sent by express the same evening
10 San Francisco, where the funeral SER
vices will be held tomorrow. The de-
ceased WAS born in Fordon, Prussia. He
came to California in 1852 and stopped at
Sonora, from which place he went in the
latter part of 1853 to Grass Valley. He
started life in this country as a peddler
and worked his way up in the world by
the hardest toll. In 1855 he had ccumu-
lated some money and bought out the dry
goods business of Friedman in Grass VAL
lev. In this business he continued until
1878. He started another dry goods house
in Virginia City in 1870, which business he
owned until his death. The deceased
started in business here in 1880 in partner
ship with his son-in-law, Morris Levy.
Heis reputed to ave made considerable
money. At any rate, he was we'll enough
off to have spent the remainder OF his days
in comfort without further labor. lie
leaves a widow and two daughters, one OF
whom is married to his partner in Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Levy, the other. a young lady
Of 10 years, being at home with her mother
in San Francisco.
Jacob Morris was a man OF fine quail
ties. He was a splendid social compan-
ion, lively, generous and good. In bust
ness he enjoyed a reputation above re,
proach. All who knew him were attached
10 him strongly and will grieye over his
death. Our townsman, Jake Cohn, who
knew him more intimately, and longer
than anybody else, says he was as good a
man as ever walked the earth, and many
others say the same of him. His death
coming when, after many years OF toll,
he was to enjoy the good things of life is
very sad. The relatives OF tho deceased
have the fullest sympathies OF this entire
community in their bereavement.

1t is not unlikely that Jimmy Byrne, an
apprenticed compositor Of the SENTINEL,
will have breathed his last before this no
tice of his extreme illness has been read.
After suffering a long time from pneumo-
mia, his physicians yesterday performed
an operation for his temporary relief; that
while he fingered he might suffer less
pain. His left lung had become absorbed,
the whole cavity Of his chest being filled
with pus, and his heart abnormally forced
from the left to the right side. An Incl
sion was made between the ribs and six
quarts of matter let out. Afterwards two
quarts more were taken away. After an
illness OF over three months. and being
reduced to q skeleton, this seems inoredi.
BILE, but il Is true nevertheless.

Ayoung man who came from the East
on Friday nights express, says the Reno
Gazette, had a costly experience which
will be a profitable lesson to him. Some
where out on the desert--he couldn't tell
exactly where--an innocent looking old
granger roped him into a three-oard chuck
game and cinched him for everything he
had in his clothes. He is on his way to
Bodie to see his brother, who has a milk
ranch a few miles south Of that town. The

fund.- which reflect on Ex-Secretary and
Mrs. Sherman. While this report seemed
to have been made by some person prcsen,
at the session of the committee, it was vet
OF SO extraordinary character as to sug-
gest doubt as to its genuineness. This
doubt disappeared On the following day
when the Washington correspondent in
formed me that certain parties desired to
send in the same way the sensational re-
port of tho testimony Of Emerson. This
was declined and inquiry made of the cor
respondent for the authority on which his
repsrt to Pitney's examination was made.
Before reply could be received by mail Sen
atsrs Sherman and Hale, and also Pitney,
pronounced the report false in every partic-
ular. The investigation, which was insti-
gated by the officers of the Associated
Press, confirms the statements made by
Sherman and Hale. 1t seems that our cor
respondent was misled by a reporter Of
The Washington Star and by statements
coming from prominent characters at the
capital. whose names are withheld, as ne
good could result to anyone from their
publication. <The zeal which certain per
sons at Washington have shown to njure
the ex-Secretary of the Treasury through
the Associated Press is worthy of better
cause, but they need not fear publicity
through the same instrumentality. 1t is,
however, due to the correspondent that
this much should be stated, although he
deserves csnsure for being misled into com
mitting great wrong, not only against Mr..
Sherman, and the Senate committee, but
the association which relies on his pru-
dence, truthfulness and impartiality. This
fault he has acknowledged and we have
assurances of greater carefulness in the
future This urusrIa1 method of address
ing the public is felt to be warranted by
the gravity of the wrong done and the i'm
portance of placing the vindicstion of dis
tinguished public officer and citizen beyond
al question. In making this statement it is al
SO proper to add that this is the first instance
since the organization of the associated
press when designing persons have sue
ceeded in using its facilities for an improp
er and malicious purpose, He had been
tried often but was never before success
full 1t is believed that this mishap is due
to the inexperience of the correspondent.
