Closed owN.-The Frisco Times
says: Friday night the miners and EN-.
ployes at the Carbonate Concentrator and
Rather mine were all discharged and the
Frisco Mining and Smelling Company's
operations in Frisco closed for an indefi.
mite period. In reply to an inquiry re
garding the close down, one party who
knows, said, "That it was on account of
the lack of sand on the part Of the man
agement;" he admitted that the mine
had never much more than paid ex-
penses, but thought that in view of the
recent opening out of new ore bodies in
the Rather mine, the company showed
poor judgment in closing down. One by
one, are the props being pulled from
Frisco's undermining 1t is rumored
that the Cave mine, property of the
Frisco NJ. s. S. Co. has also been indefi-
nitely shut down, and the company's
action is believed by many to be The re-
suit of disunion. 1t is hoped that mat
tiers will soon be readjusted and work
resumed.
Or late there has been number of
newspapers springing up in the North
west Among the number is "The Ceur
d'Alene Miner" published at Spokane
Falls, Washington Territory. 1t is a
lively paper, brimful of news OF the
great Northwest country, which is now
attracting attention throughout the land.
The Miner" as its name indicates, will
devote its attention to the mines of that
country in particular, displaying their
merits to the public in fair and i'm
partial manner.
A WRONG IMPRESSION. The impress.
sion seems to prevail with many mining
men that when patent has been applied
for there is no longer any necessity for
doing annual work. This is an error that
should be corrected as soon as possible
The Act of January %, 1880, says that
annual work must be performed until q
patent is issued" This is worth remem
bering.
The Eureka Sentinel says: "The pc
litical pot begins to simmer already, and
although it was said year ago that the
offices for the next term would be too
poor to attract candidates, still there arr
plenty on both sides of the political fence
who are willing to sacrifice themselves
therefor"
