boom, He himself has been doing
some heavy development wotk on
his claims which are situated in
Dry Canyon. and both the claims

pleted before any consignments eau be

The Queen NJ Sneba mine ia chow.
Ing up IN good shape, and the CON.

ore which Is free milling. The average
afeays OF this ore run from eight to ten

fiity Giants per ton. The company
has splendid supply OF water
| for their mills anu everything
Is running alOug as smoothly az can
reasonably he .xpscloh. The three
| Crawford mills owned by the Company
have been q ute "A success from ne Oe.
| Winning and without any doubt the
Queen of Shebs Mining company Is
one of the best paying concerns In the
| Deep Creek c.untry.
TIE CANE SPRINGS MINE.
The Cane Springs mine Is working
small force OF miners, and the shaft
has now attained depth OF Two humid
red feet. This property is situated in
Que Of the beat parts OF the Deep Creek
country aud according to Informs.

future before 1t. The Cane Springs
mill 10 working with every success,
and Mr.. Evans, who 10 working the
mine, ia we'll sali'fsd with the good
showing and the work which Is being
accomplished on this property.
PROMISING Ell VERDE.
| The Fl Verde mine Is another prom.
ising mine which has been taking
out quite a lot OF rich ore, but OF late
the company has had to close down
the mine and mills on account OF there
being no water. The new pipe line
| which Ia some fifteen miles long 10
almost completed and as soon aa this
! work is dIne the El Verde com
pany will again commence to work
the property. The shaft OF the
mine is now down two hundred feet
anu CO siderable drifting has been
done. rnere ia some rich ore at this

| FISH SPRINGS MINES.
| The Gilena, Utah anu Emma mines
are mailing some heavy consignments
OF ore to the depot at Fish Springs
and the above companies have fifteen
teams hauling ore from the mines TO
the depot. This gives employment to
large number OF men. surely the
above miues must be bonanzis to keep
80 many teams constantly on the go.
A GREAT GOLD FIELD.
| The Deep Greek country Ia indeed
a great gold field and by spring we
| shall hear in miuiDg circles OF many
men who have made their little stakes
out at this great gold camp.
AJAX MINERS IN TROUBLE.
There is much uiacontent among
the Ajax miners ON account of no.
tlce which was posted up at the mine
last night to the effect that next
month the company would stop from
each mans wages Sl.75 Tor Insurance
money. We are informed that a
petition signed by the men viii be
| presented to the A iax company In a
| day or 30. There are some fifty
miners working Mt the Ajax, and
should they all sign the petition, no
doubt the company will give way and
| lot matters 60 on az heretofore. II
seems strange that a mining company
| should Try to extOrt money from the
| hard working miner in this way. One
dollar and seventy ave cenis Is a little
| high and no won Ter the men kick
| against such an imposition. There
| has only been one accident at the
| during the last twelve months
nod that was nothing TO speak OF, one
man having two riDs broken anu he
b ing able to get about In few days.
Most OF he lax miuers are mem ers
| OF the A. o. o. II. society, and should
auy u them get hurt they can TALL
bsck on their clubs, o. whicn there are
several In the Mgmm1th and Robinson
camps, without being "sJakeu" by the
company they work Tor. None OF the
other Leading mining properties In
the whole OF Mammoth and Silver
Cily try to keep "a much insurance
out OF the miners monthly wages. Ii
is indepI queer that cOmuRny like
the A lax should compare Itself to the
little boy VINO wanted the mo ey aud
the marbles too. SEARCHLIGHr.
