Superintendent Genung, OF the Key
stone mine. Mineral Park, is still sinking
u the Congress shaft, near the mill. Thi

the company in the past lends the i'm
pressio,, that when prosecuting become
necessary they will get tired before eithe
!. wall is encountered.
Mccall 4 McKiunon have resumes
, work ON their Sunset mine, Chloride

a = Cerbat and work the ore themselves, a
though Jim has confidence Of having
mill OF his own in the near future.
q Supt. Bowers, Of the Night Hawk
Layne Springs, reports the mine as pre-
ducing some Of the finest ore vet take
from the claim. They were forced, n
Gently, to quit sinking on account of a
abundance of water; but as the groun
has a tendency to drain itself to certai
J. extent, it is probable that sinking will b
resumed in few weeks. The cost {
~ sinking the last 80 feet was s25 per fot

B. thing except powder and candles.
