FROM the Qut9teY 1tmcS
On Thursday morning of this week
the vein was reached in tunnel No
s, at the Jumbo mine, at depth of
562 feet, and strong body of ore,
which is richer than that uncovered in
the tunnels above, is now exposed.
This strike insures another one hun
dred feet Of solid ore between tunnels
No. and No. S--another confirmation
Of the fact that this company have
ample assurance of rich returns from
the great expenditures they are max
ing.
Few people can have any idea of the
amount of development work already
accomplished on the Jumbo mine, and
as such may interest our readers we
herewith produce the figures, following
the development in the order in which
it has been prosecuted

THE SUNRISE COMPANY.
A Change of Plan in Operating the
Mine and Mill.

There has been considerable talk dur
ing the past few days regarding the
Sunrise shutting down, and The Mail
has been hunting up the matter in the
endeavor to find out just what is in
tended to be done by the company.
Rumors Of all kinds have been in cir
culation, and person with almost any
kind Of an idea could easily substan-
tiate it by street talk.
From what The Mail has been able
to learn through diligent inquiry
among those who ought to know what
the company's plans are for the pres
ent, we are told that the company has
no idea whatever of closing down or
suspending operations. It is said that
after the 10Th Of the present month the
company will run but one shift day
at the mill, presumably with the in
tention of running things on a more
economical scale than has been the case
in the past. How long things will
continue this way Or what the saving
will be under the new plan of opera
tions we are unable to state, in the alb
sence of any knowledge on that point.

The above statement shows quite
conclusively the development of the
mine, and, with such, enough ore is in
sight to fully justify the erection of a
100 stamp mill, which is being con-
structed as rapidly as all army of men
can execute the work.
The entire plant of the Golden
Sceptre company is to be operated by
electricity. One pair Of improved
23-inch Turbine water wheels, produc-
ing 800 horse power, will be directly
connected to large generator for sup
plying electricity for 40 horse power
motor to be placed in the mill, 200
horse power motor to be placed at the
mine for driving compressors, 60
horse power motor to be placed at the
mine for driving crushers and for sup
plying electric light to the mill, mine
and adjoining town. One 261a inch
special Turbine wheel to be used for
driving 100 stamps, supplied with pull
ley and belt for connection with the
main line shaft in the mill This
wheel will develop 1855 horse power
when running at speed of about BAG
revolutions per minute. One special
Turbine wheel, 80 horse power, for
operating the trolley railroad. This
wheel when running at a speed of 39s
revolutions per minute and using about
1000 cubic feet of water per minute,
will generate not less than 100 horse
power
When completed and in operation the
entire works are expected to move like
clock work, and there seems no reason
able excuse why they should not.

There never was such excitement In tho

vote to the ring. The negroes were proof
against bribery and threats. and gave the
league a heavy vote. Gov. Fosters fall
