heard of the news of the death of A.
R. Watson and Ross Humphrey.
Both men old friends and good citi-
zens. The former had resided in
Shermantown in 1868 and 1869, where
he accumulated considerable money
at that time through mining sale,
while the latter had been with us
through one term of the sherif's office
in this county and had filled the posi-
ton acceptably to all.
A Muir & Co. are doing consider
able work and have large force of
men on the Comanche mine at Sher-
mantown. They have now out seven
ty-fve tons of first class shipping ore
already sacked and expect to have sew
eral hundred tons for shipment by the
time the roads are open. Their ore
vein has widened out to over four feet
carrying an average gilmore than sixty
per cent lead.
Roberts and Willis are developing
the mine adjoining the Comanche and
have been getting out some very fine
carbonate ore of the same grade and
character of it's next door neighbor.
The ore streak is daily widening, and
from indications the owners will be
able to mine a large quantity of good
shipping ore this winter.
Work has been temporarily suspend
ed on the Rocco mine at Sherman
town for the winter with the excep-
ton of couple of men. But when
teams are put on again in the Spring
work will be resumed taking out ore
as the bodies are large and strong in
this particular mine and the output
this coming year will compare favor
ably with that of last.
Six men are now working on the
Golden Fleece mine at Seligman, sink
ing the main incline and driving the
east drift. Work was also begun last
week and ground broken for the start
ing of tunnel to make connection
with the lower works. It is expected
the tunnel will be in mineral bearing
ground by April. The ore from this
mine runs from forty to fifty dollars
net in gold and silver, and carries
large percentage of lead.
Andy Swick and two men, who have
been jigging on the French mine neal
Seligman, have gone into the mine fol
the winter and are in hopes of meet
ing another body of ore of the same
grade encountered last year. They
shipped last August and September
rock that averaged over one Thousand
ounces to the ton for their first class
and five hundred ounces for their sec
ond class.
| p. b. Wiley and Herman Hopp,
have struck an eight inch vein o
rock in their mine down the Seligma1
canyon that goes 140 ounces in silver
They had ben throwing this sort of ore
over the dumps on account of it con
tanning no lead, for the past two
months. But after they had fired VI
their assay furnace they discovered
their error and when snow flies they
will spend few weeks in gathering
up four or five tons of what they have
inadvertently thrown away.
Tom Cornell has gone to the city OF
footpads to take in the Midwinter Fair.
We only hope he won't be stood up.
Eve men are now at work in his
mine.
Eugene Howell got in from the coun-
ty seat last week looking cheerful and
happy. Fifteen degrees below zero
didn't please him bit.
Edward McEllin and family left
for Salt Lake a few days a ago to
spend the winter in that city. Four
men will be kept at work on the mine
during his absence.
This has been the mildest winter
known in the remembrance of the old
est inhabitant.
