43O feet. They have just fifty men working, and are pushing their work with three shifts in ali their shafts and levels The average ot their ores in the lower levels and winEes run 5000 per ton in gold, The massive sulphurets, of which they are eneounteTlng considerable, run something over SjO0.OO per ton. The ledge will average over two feet and promises soon to be one of the bull lion producers of NayapAi. Wm. MacgregoT, formerly ID the employ of the Congress Gold Company, Is now back m Boston, testing the dii- ierent classes of orc by the cyanide process, with good results The company has developed all the water they require from we'll sunk in Fools Gulch. They have first class water works in town with 2)0- foot pressure on their water pipes, hydrants, hose and everything necessary to extinguish hres But short time ago Fools Gulch was a wilderness of rocks. Now it has all the appearance of athTiylug mining town. The development work has all been done under the supervision and direction of W. A. Clark, 8 thorough and experienced mining man, and it is all of a systematic and permanent; nature. His motto has been, Ascertain first whether they have a mine, second, the nature of treatment required to work the ore before putting up machinery" It is a good motto, and a safe one for any company to adopt.
 It is indeed gratifying to know what practical and energetic work will accomplish in mining, and oc- casionAlly one is confronted with an instance in the above line where in the unexpected has taken plSee, where in short from q wreck there follows a scene of life of activity, a success out Of failure, a rebuke to the oft told tale that the bottom had fallen out of the mine. While in mining there is attached To it speculation on the outcome, there is nevertheless wild and reckless management to encourage the abuse and curse which m many instances the industry has to wantoBly shoulder. A plain illustration of what wisdom and energy will Ac- complish in the face of ruin and desolation brought on by ineIpe- risnce and mismAnagement is that shown to day in the case of the Henrietta. This piece of ground suffered for tune the fate that has oyertAken others. Ii was abandoned because IL was guided by ignorance; an ignorance that has left a curse and stain on many properties in the county, and by which the indus try IS made to bear the burden as a whole more SO than the particular location that Is affected. To see the life that IS now prevailing in and around the Henrietta, and 10 have it's existence verified as a bouafde one, is to witness the output of the mill and examine the workings of the mine An inspection of the same will dispel any doubt of its merit, and on th" other hand there will naturally figure the person who has made it who has staid bY the game, As 1t we're. Its to Joe Mayer the credit Is due for making the Hennetta what others could not, and whllo hc has redeemed one par tieuiaF piece Oi ground that in ste struggles has afected others, be has ucveretheiess benefited the cause 0f mining more than ABy other gu- gle pcrson in his section.
