Minnchaha is working three shifts under
A. Megraw's management on a shaft now
down Il feet and has drifted 20 feet at
the 65-foot level. where the ledge is 4 feet
10 inches wide. A 2o-horse power double
cylinder steam hoist and a pump with a
capacity OF sixty gallons minute are on
the way from the East. and when they
have been placed sinking will be con-
tinued TO the 2oo-foot level This prop
erty adjoins the Csriboo on the south and
includes the Golden Crown and Cariboo
fractions and bonds on several adjoining
claims.

management of c. b. Bash, of Port
Townsend, development has been prose-
cutd since October, 1895 Two crosscuts
have been run 10 tap the ledge. one 2s4

WATERVILLE. Wash. July IA re-
port recently rendered to the receiver OF
the Central Washington railroad by the
general freight agent of that line places
the yield of grain prospectively along the
road at not less than 2.nN.0po bushels.
which figure is being circulated as the
probable total product of the Big Bend
country.
The report is not erroneous for the Sec
ton from which IL is made up but works
an injustice TO Douglas county, which is
geographically the real body of the Big
Bend country. in that no estimate is fig
ured for this region, the products hereof
not being shipped over the Central Wash
ington.
A fair estimate Of tho yield of the Wa
terville and Bridgeport sections this year
probably is not far auiss at 1000. GO bush
els. This added to the Central Washing
toms estimate will give the Big Bend a
crop rising 5000. DO bushels. 1t may be-
that these figures will be surpassed. This
Is the first year. IL present weather con-
ditions last ten days or two weeks long
er, that the Big Bend is really showing
what 1t can Go, and barely more than %
per cent. of the best lands in this section
are yet under cultivation.
Cool. eQuahle weather continues, with q
sprinkling of rain Thursday night.

MORE ORE IN HIDDEN TREASURE.

Ledge Widening Cut.

Reports from the Hidden Treasure. on
the Methow, show continued Improvement
as work progresses on the lower tunnel.
In recent letter to Fl. r. Bayiis. James
West, president of the company. says;
I've are now beginning TO get into the
ore shoot proper. The ledge has suddenly
got soft and very wet and has widened
r!zh- cut. l cannot say how wide ii Is. as
we are not on either wall just now. and
/ am beginning TO think II will be a good
plan TO crosscut Ii pretty soon. The ore
has suddenly jumped over TO the foot
wall side twhere II was in the upper ieveD.
II is very plainly coming in strong at the
roof and Is working lower down In the
breast We go ahead. This ore seems
10 DE quite different TO the other We just
ran through. and Is. I believe. richer.
judging by appearances and from the
looks of things. We will have at least two
feet of ore. IL this shoot is only half as
wide and half as rich as in the upper
level, II will give Us several hundred tons
of ore hard to beat in any camp"
Mr.. West is now sack,ng high grade ore

Compressed Air as Motive Power.

The attention Of inventors has been

possibilities that compressed air, which
is almost as wonderful in it's capabili-

what it is capable of we cannot rs yet
understand, but we do know that it
runs locomotives, transfers the United
States mails, hurls the charge Of an

force sufficient to pulverize a regiment

loads guns, drives machinery works
pumps and carves out all sorts of beau
tiful things from stone and marble. 1t
is coming into use for thousands of
minor purposes.
AS a cleaning and busting agent it
is invaluable. 1t copies letters, shears
sheep and is utilized in the stockyards
TO slaughter and dress meat. AS to its
future, prediction is made that it will
clean house, run dumb walters, take
the place Of the horse as a means of
locomotion, will wash dishes and rock
the baby. There are inventors who de-
clare that compressed air is already
quite as useful as electricity, and much
safer and more manageable. To bring
it into it's best uses large distributing
stations must be built, from which
compressed air will come as we now
get gas and water. There will, no
doubt, be a sharp rivalry between the
two great powers, electricity and COM
pressed air, and between the two we
ought to be able to get most of our
minor services we'll and cheaply per-
formed.-New York Ledger.
