Elizabeth Mining Company.

By means of the new Knowles pump
which was pat in melton recently, the
bothersome water is now being easily
disposed Of and the shaft sinking is
under way again, and will continue un-
til the 50O-foot level il reached, from
which point the crosscatting will be
commenced. The shaft has now attained
depth of 40 feet, which only leaves
thirty feet more sinking to be deae
It has taken several months to sink
this shaft, during which time thsrs has
not been much to say regarding this
great enterprise, for the reason that
they have come in contact with nothing
saye the solid granite country reek, which
was tho expectations when the shaft was
commenced. Now that tho time is draw
ing near, however, when the fate of the
Elizabeth will be known to the world
the stock is becoming more active, and
within the next sixty days it will be the
greatest gamble on the st. Louis board,
and Is likely to reach high figure be-
fore many days.
The time is rapidly approaching, says
the St. Louis Republic, when two events
OF great importance will take place,
which will decide the extent'of the Gran
ite- BIZ Metallic vein. The shaft in the
Elizabeth is now down to 4 depth Of
moro than 400 feet, aud it is expected
that by the 1st OF January CROSS cutting
will have progressed far enough to do
termine tho value Of this property. OF
NO less Importance is the wsrk going on
in the Zsus shaft Of tho Bi-Met allie.
This work, it is said, is being pushed Wig
orously, and it seems to be a race be-
tween the two companies to see which
will strike the lead first.

A MONG THE LEDGEA
Our Mining Editors Weekly
Contribution.
THE EAST GRANITE MINING CO.
New Company TO He Formed by
James X. Pardee and Others to
Work the New Departure and
Others Ajacent to the Granite.

Whenever James K. Pardee comes
into this district everybody expects
something new to take place IN mining
circles, and during his recent stay in the
camp he has effected deal that bids fair
| to excel any previous venture made by
! that gentleman. Through his lnstrumen-
| tality a company is to be formed to
operate oa the claims mentioned below,
which will be known as the East Gran
ite Mining company, and if it dees not
| outrival the great West Granite deal we
will miss our guess.
Some two weeks ago j. K. Pardee and
Allan Mcdonnell put four men to work
sinking q shaft on the above claim, which
il located not more than a half mile from
the Granite mine. At the depth of so
feet they came in contact with vein OF
ore which from present appearances may
prove to be tho extension of the Granite
vein. It already shows strsng indica-
tions Of ruby silver, and the quartz is
identical with that of the Granite.
The claims controlled by these gentle.
mon consist of the New Departure, Bos,
ton, Montreal, Weloh and Black Rock.
The Granite company have had stand
ing offer, we are informed, Of $500 Oh
the New Departure alone, and the whole
group is in close proximity to that CON-
pany's works, the nearest point from the
Granite hoist being not moro than 5000
feet distant. In the face Of a drift which
was started at depth Of so feet in the
shaft. they have already exposed three
foot body Of solid ore. It is the inten-
tiep OF the management to have three
eight-hour shifts at work developing the
ground within the next week. John j.
Welch il experimenting the work.

The New Miners Union Hall.

The Granite Miners Union hall is
practically finished to-day. Contractor
Lally Of Butte did the painting, grainirg
and ceiling decorating with satisfaction.
The stage fixtures have been purchased
Of Lausman & Lands, Chicago, at cost
Of 24OO. Five hundred L ka folding
chairs will arrive il a few days. The
second floor consists Of an Office, to be
occupied by the financial secretary of the
union; one reception room, one library
room, two ante rooms, ticket office, one
hall, 45x54 feet, and stage, 16x44 feet.
The dressing rooms will be connected
with the stage from the rear of the build
ing. c. H. Young of Butte, designer of
the Bezenaa opera house stage. will also
construct the stage for this hall Mana
ger Mcguire OF Butte was in Granite
week age, and it is more than probable
the union will consent to Mr.. Maguire's
proposition of placing the stage on his
theatrical circuit. The building when
completed will cost in the neighborheod
of $4,000! It will be dedicated on New
Years Eve by grand ball.

Tho Hone proporty.

The mill is At present running on Co.
nanche ore, and it will occupy about TIVE
weeks time to nill what has been taken
out Of the mine. When this ore has been
worked they will commence on their own
ore. Thirty-fve men are now employed
on the Hope hill by this company, and
some very rich ore is being stopped out of
a new pocket. The blower at the Silver
Chief was started for time this week,
to supply the tunnel with fresh air, 80
that it could be entered for the purpose
of getting q lot OF tools which had been
left at the 1000 foot station.

CHICAGO, Dec. jay Gould's ideas
were listened to with great attention,
and were most respectfully considered
at the meeting Of the executive officers
of the Western roads during their ses-
sion in Chicago On Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday Of this week. 1t now de-
velops that the most important action
Of the meeting was inspired by and in
full accord with the ideas furnished by
Jay Gould through the medium Of J. 8.
Leeds, traffic manager Of the Missouri
Pacific. Mr.. Leeds introduced series
Of resolutions providing for the strictsst
tain advances in rates, stoppage of COM
missions on freight destined to points
west Of the Mississippi river. and a
strong observance of the present agree
ments, all Of which were unanimously
adopted. A portion of Mr.. Leeds reso-
lutions were laid over for consideration
at meeting to be held in few days,
the date to bs fixed and the call to be
issued by Chairman Midgeley. Those
resolutions laid over for consideration at
this meeting, provide for the forma-
ton Of one general association by all
roads west Of Chicago and St. Louis on
the general basis Of q pool to
Divide Traffic and Maintain Rates.
The resolution pro, ided that when such
an agreement became effective all roads
interested should rely only on such
methods as might be provided by the
agreement to secure traffic, and that no
one road should grant special rate on
freight shipments of any nature except
by the common consent of all the other
lines in the association. Going farther.
joint agents were provided for to care
for all competitive traffic, and each road
entering the agreement was pledged to
be bound by the articles of the associa-
tion for one year. Chairman Midgeley
was instructed to call another general
meeting Of the executive officers of
Western roads to consider Mr.. Leeds
resolution as soon as it is possible to Sc
cure representation Of every line. It
is desired to form an association COM
prising all tho roads between Chicago
and the Pacific coast, and the Gulf of
Mexico and the Rio Grande river south,
and the British line on the north. This
scheme may not go through, however,
and tho western boundary Of the associ-
alton may be at the Rocky Mountains.

THE WORST IS PAST.

Except 70, a Slight stringency in Money
Business in This Country IL Excellent.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says
Stringency in commercial loans, noticed
last week as the chief cause Of the pres
ent disturbance, is now almost the only
remaining cause. The influence of the
European troubles has passed. Foreign
commerce is heavily in favor Of this
country. In domestic affairs there has
been distinct improvement in the dis
position of banks and money lenders to
give necessary support to legitimate
business, ourtailing speculative ad-
vanoes as far as possible. The wiser
disposition is shown not only in much
larger issues Of clearing house certiti-
Gates and larger loans here, but in dis
patches from other places.
Reports from Other Cities.
Very numerous and full reports from
other cities this week show that the
oheapness of cotton at the South and the
delay Of winter weather at the North
have somewhat reduced transactions
and caused more tardinesg In collections
than heretofore, but colder weather and
the approach Of the holiday season al
ready begin to have favorable effect at
many points. Thus, At St. Louis trade
is improved in all seasonable lines, ex-
oellent At Baltimore and better at De-
troit and Boston. At most Southern
points the slower movement of cotton
on account Of lower prices is named Is
the principal cauee Of delay in collec-
tions. There 10 greater ease at Cinoin-
natl and one or two other points, and at
Chicago necessary advances for legiti-
mate business are made to exclusion of
long drawn or speculative demands,
The Country Trade Il Healthy
and no fears for the future are expressed.
At Boston there is a better feeling,
colder weather giving more life to the
woolen trade and sales of wool reaching
2, IN, 900 pounds. Philadelphia reports
some activity in holiday trades, though
retail dry goods business is below expec.
tations. In general, tho volume of
trade throughout the country is so
heavy that, with the advance of y per
cent. in prices since year ago, larger |
supplies of money are absorbed. The |
amount of currency in circulation is |
now over 81, ,5O4 ,000, 900, being
$4,000. 600 Larger Than a Year Ago.
There is no especial change noted in the
great industries, though pig iron is
rather weaker in Tone Demands for
finished products of iron and steel are
still large, though distinctly less than
month ago, and rails are weak with
,canty sales. The woolen manufacture
is much more hopeful and confident
han it was six months or a year ago.

caution. Labor troubles are very few,

well employed at fair wages.

Granite School Matters,

Judge Gallagher, clerk of the Granite
school board. has completed the census
of this district. The growth Of the town
is seen in the fact that this report shows
422 persons under Fl years of age, or
double the number reported last year;
of those 2O5 are of school age, most of the
remainder being under six years and .5
being over 18 years old. This census is
the basis on which the money raised by
the county school tax is apportlonsd to
the several districts. Last year Granite
received 81 800 dollars, or about $40 for
each child reported. If other towns ia
the county have Increased III population
as Granite has, this proportion will prob
ably be diminished. There are enrolled
at present 10 scholars a number which
crowds the building to it's utmost. How
ever, the addition will be completed in
ample time for the next term, when the
primary department will have a room "a
feet square, capable Of seating 40 scho'-
ars, with a hall and convenient cloak
rooms. Folding seats of the latest de-
sign will make the school hours pleasant,
while charts, blackboards and other fur
niture will make the new department
rank IN the first class, as The other de-
partments now do. Fifteen teachers
were willing to assume the burden Cf
such we may call it, of instructing the
infant mind in the new room-au COM
petent to fulfill the duties. The trustees
had some difficulty therefore in selecting,
but after protrscted meeting they de-
cided to give the position to Miss Efie
Buck, of Albany, N. Y. She il a grad
uate Of the famous Albany high school
and of the New York State Normal col
lege, and is teacher OF some experience.
She comes so highly recommended that
it Is safe to say the new department will
be all we ask. viz: Up 10 the high stan
dard of the old.
