BELT MOUNTAIN MINES.

Everything in the Vicinity of Barker In
dicates n Prosperous Season
{ There is a feeling OF greater confidence
n present concerning the mines of Barker
among people interested than has been
manifest fo1 a long time. says the Belt
Mountain Miner. This feeling is caused
larasly by the recent extensive bodies OF
ore that have been uncovered at two of the
mines, together with eve:y indication in
those properties that the ore body Is con.
tinuous. Moro men are being put at work
right along, making the merchants mora
hopeful for business. and forcing the pessl-
mist to retire In dismay.
Contractor Harrison has now got the
shaft at the Moulton down forty-fve feet.
and il pro2r ssinQ quite rapidly with the
work. That portion of the ore body struck
in the shaft has been cut through. the vain
dipping about seventy degrees from the
perpendicular. Six and one-hslf feet has
been shown up in the shaft. and how much
more there is TO the hanging wall Is not
known. Every inch of this is fine palena,
M looks remarkably rich. Some chunks
Of ore weighing several hundred, and even
thousands of pounds, have been taken out.
The upraise at the Tiger has been coul-
pleted. and grading for the buildings is
nov in progress. Tho height of the up
raise 10 11b feet, and owing to the hard
nature of the ground it has taken much
longer than Superintendent Dunn expected
1t would. The grading, erection of build
mas and machinery will now be pushed
Along, and soon another whistle will be
letting the denizsns Of Be, ker know that
the Tiger ia alive and digging Into tho
bowels OF the earth. At present, owing te
the condition of the roads. 1T is almost i'm
possible to ship any ore. teams being I'M
able to haul any more than a few hundred
pounds at a time.
The Barker force 10 at work on the 100
foot level, drifting on the ore in two direc'
lions. Considerable ore is being taken on
already, and = larger body il expected ant
hoped for. The ore so far is of a some
what refractory nature, with some iron II
1t. Foreman OBrien expresses the opin
ion that with a concentration the BarAe
will pay we'll. but without it the ore sort
ing by hand that Ia necessary is too expen
sivs without q very large and rich body.
The Thotsen boys expect soon to star
work On the Thoisen lode, just east OF tn
Tiger. They now have a shaft down sevent
feet and as soon as the water will allow vii
commence sinking. There are good indioa
lions on their claim, and as the owner
think they are on the Same lead AZ the III
ger they stand q good show OF strikin
something big.
The machinery on the Eureka, on Rur
ming Wolf, has all been placed in positio
and will be started up some time this wee
Supt. Carrier has quite a force at wo K nov
and as soon az sinking commences with I'll
new machinery it is expected that it will
increased.

Wanted Reserved Seats.

CHICAGO, Dec. 81. Grapevine SpeclaD-
Another robbery occurred this morning,
and again the engineer and fireman OF a
passenger train have been forced at the
muzzle of a shotgun to call0upon the eX-
press messenger to open the car door.
Bloodshed has also resulted, and in fact
the tragedy at Pixley eleven months ago
seems to have been reproduced with only
a change Of location. This morning as
train No. 10. the Atlantic express, pull led
out of Goshen at four o'clock, two masked
men climbed over the tender and upon
the engine. They were armed and I'M
mediately covered the engineer and hre-
man With shotguns, one OF them at the
same -ime telling the engineer to stop
when he reached the Hanford crossing.
The engineer took in the situation quite
promptly, but tried to engage the man In
conversation by protesting ignorance as to
which crossing was meant. The fellow
merely remarked, you know id well,
and YOU had better stop" The robbers
then ordered the train men to climb
down, which order, though not coming
from headquarters, was obeyed, after
which they we're marched to the express
care and we're told to ask the express mes
senger to open the safe and hand over a
package of reserved seat tickets for The
Moss JOIlity Co." in their unique novelty,
