The Mansfleld.

AS previously stated in these columns,
this mine has been entirely freed OF
water. The bottom levels OF the mine
have been thoroughly examined and the
conditions there, as far M we can learn,
90 to show that the commonly accepted
causes Of the oaving OF the mine four
years ago do not cover the case. IL Is
true that the operators at that time
had worked up close to the bed OF the
river, but the conditions prevailing
below would suggest that the primary
cause was due To the weakening OF the
supports OF the 9th level Of the mine.
The 9th level, which is the lowest level Of
the mine. remains intact. but all above
that is cayed. The large Worthington
pump was found to be in good condition
and will, as soon as some new parts
that are needed TO replace tho worn out
ones are procured, be used To handle the
water OF the mine.

The TIlden Mine.


The Tilden mine at Bessemer, Michi-
gan one 81 the greatest ore producers on
the Gogebic range, has been sold or
leased To the Carnegie Oliver syndicate,
which last winter purchased the Noun
tain Iron property on the Mesaba range.
A short time ago work was suspended
at the Tilden mine and it was an
nounced that the mine would be closed
for the remainder Of the year, and posi-
bly, all winter. This week, however, the
steam shovcls have been set To work on
the stock piles and il IL now said that
work will be resumed Immediately with
a large force. This activity is attri-
buted To the change in ownership. The
condition To the lease under which Car
negie will operate the property are prob
ably similar To those made ia the case
OF the Mountain Iron, the lessees guar
anteeing Rockefeller "A large annual out
put for his lleet OF lake vessels. The
amount paid IL not given, but il il said
to he something over 81 900, 900. The
Tilden is one OF the largest mines ON the
Gogcbic range, second only To the Nor
rie, aud contains ore Of very high
grade.

The Oliver Mining company received
orders and commenced loading ore from
the Ohio mine, Monday. While for some
time past il has been rumored that the
Ohio had became II part of the Oliver
holdings, NO tangible proof OF the cor
rectness Of the rumor has heretofore
been obtainable. The Oliver company
il ia IA position TO work this property to
"A great advantage in connection with
their Missabe Mountain and Lone
Jack holdings The ore being forwarded
from the mine IL Of excellent quality.
The first car Of iron ever shipped from
the Arcturus mine was hauled into
Grand Rapids Saturday aud ON Monday
was Forwarded 10 the Illinois Steel com
pany ut South Chicago. The property
IN located twelve miles northeast Of
Grand Rapids, on the western Mesaba.
Reports from the property would ind-
cate that large body Of ore OF desir-
able quality had heen proven on the
property. Four hundred feet Of drifts
have been run from the bottom OF the
shafts at depth 81 los and IL ieet.
Henry G. Foote. who has bean ia charge
OF the operation at the property, il .

that arrangements are being made for

about 1000 cars day ssnt down the

the average, $50 cars day, or about

FROM THE MINES
Tho Columbia.

The Columbia.
The bailer at the Columbia has been
working very satisfactorily the latter
part OF the week and the water is being
lowered at fairly good rate. Consider
able trouble was experienced the early
part OF the week on account OF the guage
OF the skip road, in which the bailer Is
working, having changed. The change is
duo TO the fact that the back runners
were forced ahead by the settling OF the
shaft at the time OF the cave. Tins con-
dition OF affairs will probably continue
until all of the live ground about the
shalt has been passed. The stockpile
has all been cleared up, including about
ten thousand tons left over from last
year, and shipping from this property is
at an end until ore can be hoisted from
the mine.
