What the Miner Has to Say Regard
ing This Great District.
The Buckeye has two more carloads
of ore ready for shipment, but we un-
derstand will wait for the return from
the last carload before sending it out
The Mammoth and Sioux mills were
Obliged to shut down yesterday owing
to the bad condition of the road which
retards ore hauling. 1t was expected
to start up this morning.
The bad roads have interfered with
ore hauling in the Silver City end of
the district this week, as will be seen
by reference to the record of the out
put.
The leasers on the Blue Bird were
prevented by the bad weather from
commencing work last Friday, but we
are advised by Mr.. Ware that they
will start up today or tomorrow.
A deal involving the control of the
be pending, the parties of the second
part being gentlemen heavily inter-
ested in Mercur properties.

tie came down Sunday morning and
spent the afternoon inspecting the May
Day property under the chaperonage
of President Hunt. They also visited
the Godiva and expressed themselves
as most favorably impressed with that
side of the district
Director L. E. Ritter, of the South
Swansea, states to the Miner that a
steam hoist is a certainty for that pro-
perty. The company is now negotiaf-
ing for one and its erection is only a
matter of few weeks. In the mean
time the mine is working as usual and
another shipment of high grade ore can
be expected in a, few days.
Messrs. J. r. Slater and r. L. Col
burn, of the Shoebridge Bonanza COM
pany, were out Sunday looking after
that property and while here let a.
contract for sinking 100 feet in the
shaft to George PaXman. Mr.. PaXman

work but expects to commence today
OK tomorrow
The Centennial-Eurekac company will
pay another double dividend of $4,000

George Adams yesterday purchased
the two-thirds interest of j. T. Has
kirs in the Tennessee Rebel group con-
sisting of the Tennessee Rebel, Com
| ms; Summer and Bobby Doddler lodes,
but we are unable to state the con-
sideration. This group lies between
the Southern Eureka and the Emerald

We are advised that parties inter-
ested in the Sioux-Ajax tunnel project
have this week secured the control of
the Eureka Consolidated property,
which is the largest property through
which the tunnel will pass. The
| scheme is now regarded as a sure go
and will have the effect of opening up
a considerable amount Of undeveloped
property between the Ajax and Sioux
mines.

We regret to learn that a serious
case of malicious mischief is reported
at the Paxman mine. During the ces-
sation of work on that property the
! tools, anvil, bellows, etc., were thrown
down the 400 foot shaft. The harness
for the whim horse was also cut in
] pieces and found a resting place in the
shaft, while some of the timbering in
the shaft itself has been torn out and
other damage done to the property on
| top. We regret that it seems impos-
! sible to discover the perpetrators of
/ the outrage.
We are advised that the Star Con-
solidated Mining company, commonly
known as the North Star, is contem-
plating extensive Improvements in their
property, together with a greatly in
creased development. The improve
ment embrace the erection of a new
/ gasoline hoist, and a mill is also being
! seriously considered. The North Star
has immense quantities of free milling
gold ore of good value although not
| sufficiently high grade to warrant ship
ment, and a. mill would be a. paying
! proposition from the start. We hear
/ numerous inquiries for stock in this
! company but SO far as we can learn
the owners are satisfied with the good
! thing they have and decline to let any
