Tuesday afternoon at the Copper Gen.
ter tunnel, upper Bingham, a dozen
sticks of giant powder exploded in the
blacksmith shop and completely de-
molished the building, some of the fly
ing fragments landing many feet away.
There was a box of giant containing 80
or 40 sticks in the place, which, very
singularly, although wrecked and scat
tered. did not explode. The cause of the
accident is mystery. The powder was
at a safe distance from the forge, in
which there was little if any fire. W. A
Hicks had just entered the tunnel and
was out of harms way, and w. ]. Cox
was in advance of him. The boys are
congratulating Themselves on their mar
row escape.
The shipments from the Dalton &
Lark side during September were con-
siderabiy larger than in any previous
month, since the Copper gulch bonanza
slowed down, nearly two years ago.
They include 1000 tons, as follows: Dali
ton & Lark, 500; Lead mine, rs; Golden
Opportunity %: June Blossom, %;
Richmond, 100; Sampson, so; keystone,
150: Brooklyn, so; Miners Dream, %.
Tire runs being made under direction
of Colonel A. j. BEETLES at the Kark-
ham mill include ore from the Copper
Center, Jubilee, and tunnel No. of the
Highland Boy mine. The several lots
aggregate 160 tons, of which 140 have
been treated. This work is doubtless
being done to test the relative merits
of water and fire concentration for the
second grade ores of the property.
J. S Grow, j. Pugsley and E. I. Tay-
lor, having recently secured 2 2-years
lease on the York mine, have force OF
men at work and we hope to soon be

plicating its old-time performances.
The Rogers mill is kept quite busy of
late-its monthly receipts including 800
tons from the Wells & Rogers Galena
lease and $50 tons from the Northern
Chief mine.
A crosscut in No. s tunnel of the
Highland Boy, recently completed,
shows an ore body 165 feet wide, the
grade if anything averaging better
than in upper levels.
During September the Standish
Jimpson company hauled S36 tons from
the Old Jordan, 100 from the Spanish
and 65 from the Petro.
The depot yard at times this week
has been crowded with ore teams and
cars. presenting a livelier appearance
than at any time for months past.
No. Z tunnel of the Highland Boy
mine. to tap the big vein at about 1000
feet, has been driven considerably over
third of the distance.
The management of the old Tiewau-
kie mine reverted to Colonel Shaugh-
messy on the 1st inst, w. c. Hall hav-
ing retired.
Tom Mayne is hauling 100 tons sec
ond class from the Queen tunnel, via
Victor hill, for treatment at Rogers
