A. R. HolcoGnb has commenced suit
against Max Boehmer for possession
of 1000 shares of stock of the Hercules
Mining company, which the plaintiff
alleges were unlawfutly converted by
the defendant to his own use. The
claim adjoining the Ajax and the

At a meeting held in Mammoth Sat
urday evening, the arrangements were
completed for the incorporation off the
Opex Mining company, and the arti-
cles will be filed in few days. In the
meantime, work on the company's
property, the Standard, Imperial and
Fraction claims, is being pushed with
two shifts and the showing is reported
to be of a. very encouraging nature.
In regard to the report in Wednes-
days Herald that work on the Opa-
honga and Snowflake will be resumed
this fall Manager Hatfield states the
water question is all that binders the
commencement of operations at the
Opahonga and that he expects to COM
mence in the course of a month or so.
Operations on the Snowflake will not be
resumed until the settlement of the es-
tate of Feter Reedy, who was large
stockholder in that company.
The Eureka Hill shipped four car
loads of high grade ore this week and
is ,pading four more which will go

ployed entirely in taking out the first
class ore TOR shipment, while all the
second-class ore for treatment in the
mill is being broken and hoisted by
the day shift. The water SUPPLY or
rather the lack of it, is still bothering
operations at the mill, and 1T is at pres
emf impossible to operate the entire 100
Stamps.
1t is reported that the erection of a
combination miN for the Ajax viii
shortly commence, the mill TO be prac-
tically the same pattern as those OF
the Mammoth and Sioux Cons: com
panies. There has been considerable
mill talk in regard TO the Ajax, but we
believe that this talk is correct A mill
on this property will allow the work
ing of much low grade ore which can
not now be handled and will 1Tove
profitable investment from the start:
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bull
lion-Beck mine 80 carloads ore, from the
Bullion Beck mill 10 carloads concen-
trates, from the Gemini carloads OF
