ing work than that practiced in the Bi-
Metallic mine. All the work is done in
the safest possible way to guard against
accident, and their sys' EN- of under
ground mining is as near perfection as it
is possible to make it. As for the
Granite, they are not working with the
latest improved machinery such as tie
Bl-Metallic people use, and mishaps are
therefore more likely to happen.
"In regard to the recent accident in the
Granite shaft, am not at liberty to ex-
press my opinion said Mr.. Hogan. II
have talked with every man who was on
the cage when it dropped, and they all
tell very similar stories; but whether or
not they can obtain damages from the
company remains to be seen.
''After inspecting these mines [ make
a written report to the company, INFORM
ing them of any danger that may know
to threaten them or their employees, and
recommend such improvements as may
be deemed necessary there. If they do
not comply with the request they become

Marie.
Phil M. Saunders, who arrived from St
Louis this week to take charge of the
Marie Mining company's operations, was
seen by our mining editor shortly after
his arrival, and on inquiry regarding this
new company, obtained the following
statement:
The new company, he said, will eouip
the Marie with all the necessary ma
chinery for properly developing the mine.
They are capitalized at 100000 shares,
OF one dollar each, and with the exception
OF few hundred shares the stock is all
controlled by syndicate amply able to
carry it. They own all the property
formerly controlled by the San Francisco
Co., with some valuable additions. The
proposition now is of purely business
nature. A certain amount of money bas
been allowed for development, to ascer-
tam the true worth of the property, and
II the property will then justify it they
are prepared to put in all the money that
is required to proceed with the operations.
In the mean time there will 'De none of
the Marie stock put on the market by
any one OF the new syndicate, and if the
property does not give sufficient evidence
OF a mine when the money allowed for it's
exploration is exhausted, it will be shut
down. j he new machinery, including
number OF Rand drills, etc, have been
ordered from the L. NJ. Rumsey company,
and are expected to reach the burg this
week, and Mr.: Saunders expects to be 60
ing ahead with the work in the mine be-
fore June l.. All the preliminary work
that has been done under the supervision
OF Mr.. Dixon, said the gentlemen, is
highly satisfactory to our company. He
has put things in first-class shape for
going on with the work, by using hand
drills and had the company not decided
to put in this improved machinery there
would have been no reason to delay
