EDTroR MINER :

EpIroR MINER:
For some time past but little mining
news has appeared in the MINER. Miners
have neglected to report. In many cases
the mines have been worked with about
the same result, hence there Was no ex.
element or no new strikes. Within the
past week I have visited several mines
and found them all at work and doing
remarkably we'll ~
The Cupel mine was supposed TO have
been worked out 10 the 200-foot level, and
and ~ the pumps did not handle the
water 10 give the miners q chance TO work
they were taken out over q year since.
Last week q miner went into the old
workings and began prospecting at a
point where the ore gave outs The result
was he driited about six feet into the foot
wall and found fine vein Of high grade
ore. Lessee Mackenzie has put several
miners at work and will put on more next
week. Already they have a car load Of
ore out that is full Of ruby silver and pure
gold. The prospects are it will take
months, il not years, 10 work out this
new find. .
The G. o. ID. mine has been paying as
usual. Soon the main shaft viii be sunk
to vein level. The last level run has
taken over one year to work out.
The Minnesota and Connor, owned and
worked by John Barry, are turning out
some rich ore, and the teams have more
than they can do TO haul it as fast az
taken out. These mines are down about
200 feet and below water level, and may
be considered permanent mines. which
ought TO produce large quantities Of ore
Of a high grade. ...-..
The Night Hawk is another mine that
has Of late come TO the front A new
body Of high grade ore has been found
further into the mountain. showing more
permsnency 10 the already rich mine.
All the above mentioned mines are
paying dividends. There are twenty
other mines that ! saw on hsar1 from
that are doing well and making profit
over and above wages.
The present prospects In mining circles
are ~ good or better than they ever we're
in this county. IL.

The most important occurrence ut

went forward is the arrival from his

Kuhl has returned to work and Bacon IL

vendors Needles takes the entire bakery,
but then that is q sign Of prosperity, you
know.

railroad conductor, and one Of New Mex

to look around. 1t WAS dusk, and the

He climbed down into the hollow OF the
ledge and stood looking at piece OF newly
Cut granite. The curious fracture OF the
stone attracted him. He stood still for
several moments to make out its outline Ia
the growing shadows.
Suddenly looking up he saw man Creep

He approached In a straight line. Over
the fragments he crept right to where Mr..
Durfee stood. He ran his hand along the

Empress Of Egypt.

The debate in the House OF Commons
Cv6r the measures for the relief of Suakim
md the alarming letter of Osman Digna,
Indicate that the final and thorough alb
sorption Of Egypt by England cannot be
m In the future. Sir James Ferguson, Of
the foreign office, said that the govern
ment considered the letter about the cap.
turs of Stanley and Enin Bey of such
doubtful authenticity, that they could
nos delay the raising of the siege Of
6uAkim, because Of it, and Mr.. Gladstone
pointed out that the powerful tribes Of
the Soudan not under the control Of the
Darvishes besieging Suakim, should
b given to understand clearly whether
Eugland or Egypt is holding the place.
He added the curious remark that If the
Z soccupation Of Suakim were Egyptian, it
would be mischievous, while British oc
cupation was necessary, though lie was
personally opposed to any occupation.
Inc assertion OF necessity is probably
sarcastic, meaning that any other course
would hurt the pride and endanger the
Lie OF the ministry. Gladstone has been
h similar dlemmas, and knows how
cooperate the necessity must be, but with
~ lie faults in home government, the
party In power has shown better judg-
ment and more vigor in the management
ct foreign matters, than the Liberals did
under Gladstone. They are not troubled
