the company. which now has one of the
greatest copper mines in the west on its
hands.
Word comes from Silver that the show
ing in the Homestake at the present time
is more encouraging than ever and that
on the go level one of the walls OF the
vein has been found and that along it
there IS a solid body OF quartz in place
which is streaked with copper. Some
shipping ore is being taken out on the 300
loot level and Frank Harris, the man
ager, IS Well pleased over the future out
look for the property.
An lS-ton shipment is in from the Gold
Crown mine at Siegel. White Pine county.
Nevada, owned by the Gold Grown Mining
company of which Henry Siegel of this
city IS president. The consignment as
saved u 4 ounces silver and 40 cents in
gold. and as it runs nigh in manganese
OF iron It is a very desirable product at
the shelters. There is a large amount of
this class of mineral on the dump and
blocked out in the mine. and it is the in
tention OF the company TO continue ship
mentS all summer. A force of u men is
at work in the operation of the property.

Encouraging reports continue to come
in from Deer Lodge, in Eagle Valley
district, Lincoln. county, New, and as
work progresses in the operation OF
the different mammoth gold lodges OF
the camp, it becomes more and more
apparent that in time and the expendi-
ture of muscle and money in intelligent
development, this section is destined to
make a record as a heavy producer OF
the precious metals.
Quite a number of prominent Salt
LakerS are interested in properties in
Deer Lodge, one of whom has just re-
ceived a letter from the camp, in which
the information is conveyed that Trout
man and Clark are doing assessment
work on the Pickett group, and that
the showing of free milling gold in
this property is excellent; while Camp
bell, Lund and Johnson will soon re-
sumo operations in the continued de-
velopment Of the Comstock group,
which was recently held under bond
and lease by DR.. Nelson, of the Charlie
Ross and Buck. The HomeStake, own
ed by Barney brothers and others, is
also looking exceedingly well, and this
ground has all the earmarks of a pro-
life wealth producer.
Charlie Lyle, according to the writer
mentioned, is making arrangements for
the sinking of a 100-foot shaft on the
Gold Bug, owned by himself and asso-
ciates, the indications being that this
viii develop into a good paying propo-
sition.
Referring to the Creole. in Stateline
district, in Utah, just over the Nevada
line from Deer Lodge, the statement is
made that tbs property is in a most
promising condition, with large bodies
of fine gold ore in the tunnel, Yinze and
lower workings, and it is stated that
several expert mining men have made
an examination of this valuable prop
erty of late, while the Popkees mill is
running night and day on ore from
this mine, with satisfactory results.
In conclusion, the writer states that
the outlook for both Deer Lodge and
Stateline is most encouraging.

DEPRECATED SILVER.
Member of the Hanna Family Warns
the Dutch Merchants.

st. Thomas, D. w. l., June 13.-Philip
C. Hanna, who was United States con-
sui at Porto Rico until war between
Spain and the United States was de-
clared, anticipating a change of Porto
Rico nationality, has recommended the
merchants to accept Porto Rican silver
at its intrinsic value only, preparatory
to the adoption of the American gold
basis.
This change, Mr.. Hanna argues, will
save the merchants from bankruptcy
and avert a panic.

MOUNTAIN OF SNOW.
Huge Drifts in southbrdge Largest Ever
Known.

Southbridge, Nov. 27-This town is
completely isolated, showed under
showed in and showed over, and snow
reigns supreme in the old spec town.
There has been no train service, no
electric car service, no milk service
and. worst of all, no newspaper ser
vice.
For the first time in 10 years the
town of Southbridge was completely
shut off from the outside world, and
newspaper intelligence. The New York
papers got as far as East Brookfield,
where they were held on account of the
freight wreck, and the Boston and
Worcester paper carefully reposed at
the Union station in Worcester.
AS there are no snow ploWs on the
steam road, it is doubtful if the first
train, which was scheduled to leave at
Z o'clock this morning for Boston. will
leave before noon tomorrow.
The electric car service was com
pletely tied up and the first car to
Fiskdale will probably get through to-
night. The last car for Sturbridge last
night, with six passengers on board,
was stalled at the Sturbridge fair
grounds, and the passengers sought
refuge in a farm house for the night.
There are many deep drifts about
town, but the real mountain of snow
was located in front of the Dresser
House stables. This is from is to 20
feet deep, and extends for a distance

and merely meandered back and forth
irregularly in order to hold the ad-
vantage already gained by keeping the
line free from the whirling flakes that
the wind was driving before it in blind
ing gusts. There was a lull in the
storm for a little while, but the wind
played such tricks with the light snow
that it was almost as difficult to keep
space cleared as if the fakes were still
falling.
While The attempt was being made to
clear the uptown end of the Main
street line, a large gang of men was
sent to New Worcester to begin opera
tons on that end of the line. Several
cars were stalled there and the men be-
gan by shoveling them out and re-
peating the tactics of running to and
fro to keep the track clear as fast as it
was uncovered.
No attempt was made yesterday to
liberate the people who live along the
Adams square line, nor those in the
other suburban districts except New
Worcester. The cars all along Main
street are running this morning and
the work of clearing the remaining
tracks Will be steadily pushed today

sion

ten up. After many futile attempts, in
the course of which the pillow got stuck
a score Of times, the men were COM
PEELED to shovel out the hard packed
drift, first lOosening it up with ice
scrapers and picks. When this obstruc-
ton was out of the way, the ploWs got
down to business and made satisfactory
though slow progress through the snow
toward the Union station.
While the work Of the plows is moth
ing compared to the grand spectacle
that one of the huge pieces of me-
chanism that the steam roads use to
clear their tracks, makes as it dashes
along, impelled by half a dozen great
engines. still it was a very interesting
sight to see the work done by the ploWs
of the Consolidated as they strove to
force their way along Front street At
first one of the ploWs was working
alone, but soon it became necessary to
hitch the two together, and in this
manner they made much better prog
ress.
The method of procedure was very
simple, but effective. The plows would
back little way over the track already
cleared ard then charge ahead full
speed against the drifts in front. Every
time they hit the still undisturbed
snow there was a shock like a freight
train running into a house, and the
snow would fly in a thick cloud, while
the ploW would forge ahead a few feet
and then be brought to another stand
still. The repetition of this process
finally OVercame the whole stretch Of
the street, and this same thing will
have to be done on every line in the
city where the drifts are equal to those
between the city hall and the station.
The men who accompanied the plows
assisted them in every way possible.
by shOveling them out when they be-
came stuck and by clearing away the
snow from the sides Of the tracks as
fast as it was thrown out by the big
pioneers Following the ploWs and the
men came the electric sWeepers with
their rapidly-revolving brushes, which
cleaned the track clear to the street
surface and completed the work of re
storing it to its normal condition.
The suburban lines were completely
showed under, and, although all avail
able ploWs and sweepers We're kept run
ming on the various divisions, the wind
piled the snow on to the tracks about
as fast as it was plOWed out.
On the Worcester and Marlboro line
three plows We're kept running all day,
with cars following in the attempt to
keep the line partially open. until the
wind should subside. when an oppOr-
tunity will present itself to do some
work that admit of the cars resuming
regular trips.
