utilized in West Mountain district
The tunnel bore is ks feet, and by
using electric drills probably an aver
age of ten feet per day can be run
Six hundred feet are now completed
The ultimate length of the tunnel IS
to be between two and three miles.

The old Markham mill, having been
rernodeled. is about ready for a trial
run. AS recently stated in these col
umns, it is beinS fitted up to be oper-
aztec in connection with the Giant Chief
mine, and the bins are full of second
grade from that property. Some new
machinery has been put in, including
cFusher and rolls, and it should do good
work. If possible, crushing will begin
today or tomorrow.

considerable ore Vas shipped last year,
has been working the past month, and
is looking very promising. The work
ing tunnel is at creek level. Whenever
machinery is put in and sinking begins,
the Crown Point is liable to make a stir.
It has a strong vein and good ore in
sight.
Our estimate of the months output
in the table given last week proves
very close, though there was falling
off in some quarters the past few days,
owing to unfavorable roads The
Highland Boy was credited with 500
tons, whereas the total does not reach
more than 725 tons. The Old Jordan,
quoted at 21O0, up to Wednesday had
sent down over 1900 tons.
1t is rumored that Jumpers will be
active tonight, especially in portions
of the copper belt. If there is any at
tempt to re-stake certain claims upon
which work is now progressing, we can
give pointer that there is liable to be
trouble.
Two carloads of Last Chance mill
machinery are now here, and the bal

NEvADA's GREAT COPPER BELT
Offer of an English Syndicate For
the Delano Mine.

A few weeks ago II. Fisher, mining
expert OF San Francisco, visited the
Salmon country and inspected several
of the most valuable properties" says
the Herald, of Wells. Ell1o county, New.
On his return to Wells he was inter-
viewed by a Herald reported, and ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
every mine he inspected. He said the
Salmon country was the richest copper
field he ever saw, and that before an
other year the camp viii develop into
one Of the most productive, and give
employment to more men than any
other camp in the west.
Mr. Fisher said that the reason the
camp had not been developed years
ago was a mystery to him, as copper
assaying as high as 65 per cent was
known to exist in large volumes as far
back as ~. He encouraged the miners

In communication to the Recorder
CT Salmon City, Ida, "Driftwood' gives
an interesting description of Captain
L. r Singiser's enterprise on Arastra
Eek, together with an account in de-
tail Of the magnificent mill erected on
tl.e ground, which was built by Joe
psaerichs, the well known mill-wright
OF this city, and over which Ed y.
Kirby, also of this city, has charge
during :ts initial run.
Regarding the mine and mill, Drift
wood" says:
The town of Singiser, which sprung
into existence during the past hVe
months, lies west OF Salmon City about
&C miles, and is built upon Arastra
creek, a tributary of Silver creek, and
about two miles from the latter A
number OF years ago there was discov-
cred where now the above named town
is located, a very large vein Of quartz,
upon which three locations were made,
known as the True Blue. Monument
and Watch Tower. In the course OF
time this property fell into the hands
OF Senator George L. Shoup and Mich
aeI SPAIN AID a United States patent
was secured upon them. Subsequently
some effort was made in a small way
to work the ores, but by the crude pro-
cess used, the vein was abandoned and
permitted TO lie idle until this summer,
wien Captain T. F. Singiser took hold
OF them. His first step was to go over
the vein and take a sample of 1850
pounds, ard send it to Denver, St.
Louis and Chicago, and have it tested
for richness and process of treatment.
Everything being perfectly satisfactory
to the captain, he at once negotiated
for the mines. and proceeded TO organ

lists AID order machinery for a 50-ton
plant, in which the "Pelitan Clerici''

and the town of Singiser booming. My
idea at this time is TO give, as near
as possible, a description of this mill in
the order that the quartz is passed
through and the precious metal ex-
tracted, Coz it is interesting from the
fact that it is somewhat of q depar-
ture from any other treatment used in
this county. The claim from which
the ore is now being taken to the mill
Is the Monument and the mouth of the
main tunnel IS 1,2G0 feet from the ore
bin at the mill, which distance is ira
VeTSed by q narrOW-gauge railroad
track, the cars being propelled by mule
power. The ore bin at the top of the
mill, whare the quartz is first deIiv-
cred. holds 300 tons. From this point
the quartz passes through a
large Blake rock breaker, and drops
thence into a bin that viii hold
$50 tons From here the quartz passes
into a Challenge ore feeder. The said
ore feeder is so arranged that it will
hold $500 pounds of quartz. the pre-
else quantity that is required to charge

Irihernian RcInfiona.

A curious popularity Of the Irish ma
ture is the wide limits to which rela-
tionship is extended. "Do you know
Pat Meehan?" a peasant was asked.
"Of course I do" was the answer
"Why, he's a near relation Of mine.
He vance proposed for my sis1her
Kate" When faction-fghting was rife
in Ireland ii was te mans interest to
"incrase his followin'" by extending
the number of his relations by every
possible device. Happily faciion-fght-
ing is dead in Ireland, and man has
no need now to have behind him a long
line, not of ancestors as Sir Boyle
Roche would say, but Of relations rs
was imperatively necessary when The
"bhoys" were accustomed to "hould
dishcussion with sticks" at every fair.
Il is after he is dead that his relations
"come in handy" to the Irishman. They
give him grand buryin." "Well,
Mary" said a friend Of mine to a do
mestic who had been attending bury
in" ''had Mat Maloney good funer-
alp" "Oh, he had a CRATE wan, sir"
said Mary. "An' why wouldn't he?
Wasn't he related to the whole barony?

OLDEST AMERICAN MINE.
1t Supplies Cobalt and Nielzel Used
in ArInor Plate for Cur
BattTeShips.


Every battleship made in the United
States must draw upon Missouri for
part of its material. Down in Madison
county is the famous Mine Lanotte.
which furnishes nickel and cobalt nee
essaryin the construction OF every mod
ern ironclad vessel. There are no other
nickel and cobalt bearing mines in this
country in operation. 1t would indeed
be theirony offate if the property which
was once owned and operated by Spain
should now supply the material most
necessary in the structure of the war
ships built to fight her.
Mine Lamotte is said to be the oldest
mine in the United States, For over \
century IL has been turning out about
the same amount of mineral. When If
was first opened what is now the state
OF Missouri was then Spanish posses
sion. 1t is rich in the quality of nickel
required in the manufacture of armor
plating. Manufacturers find it neces-
sary in the composition of the Harvey
lied steel used On the ships, and so long
as that quality of armor plate is used
so long will the state continue to be
represented in the manufacture Of our
navy.
Products of the mine will be on ex-
hibit at the Omaha exhibition. Speak
ing Of the mineral produced there,
David I. Day says:
Among the interesting exhibits
which will be collected from Missouri
will be the several unique products OBJ
tanned from Mine Lamotte. It is the
only place in the United States at the
present date where nickel and cobalt
are being produced from native ores.
If all varieties of products of the mine
are shown it will be very interesting
and instructive exhibit in itself''
Citizens of Madison county are urg-
ing that the products Of the mine should
be exhibited because its history is coin
cident with the history of the section
of the country which is most inter
ested in the trans-Mississippi exposi-
ton.
II. A. Stuckey, chairman of the min
eral exhibit for Missouri at the Omaha
exposition, has been requested to make
display of the products of Mine La

A T}uOY's Long Journey.

The inhabitants of the lonely isle of
ST. Kilda were astorished not long ago
at the appearance Of a great blood-red,
conical object floating on the wild At
lantic pillows to the westward of the
isle. With much difficulty the derelict
was brought to shore, and, as the ST..
Kildans had never before seen such a
queer-looking thing and could make no
guess as to its purpose or place in the
scale of created things, they INDUCED in
wild visions of its valuable nature. But,
when the factor came across on his
yearly visit from the neighboring but
distant island of Great Britain, he iden-
titled it as a great iron buoy, which, it
subsequently appeared, had broken
away from its moorings in New York
harbor and drifted in the gulf stream
across the Atlantic. It had taken two
years in the passage.-Chicago Inter

won-t Talk Into q Phoaopr.nb

Mr.. Edison has persistently refused
TO register his voice upon phonograph
cylinder for repetition. To some friends
who urged him to talk into one Of these
machines he gave his reason: ''It would
make me sick with disgust to see
placarded on Photographs everywhere
! turn: Drop nickel in the Slot and
hear Edison talk, No, 20; none of that
for me-" The tone of voice in which he
stated his objection made it clearly ap-
parent that he could neither be coaxed
nor dragged into granting the request,
even though he has had an offer of $10,-
eco for five-minutes' talk. In perfect
ing the photograph he has, of course,
been obliged to talk into the machine
frequently, but the cylinder is always
scraped so that his voice cannot be re-
produced. To one close friend, how
ever, he reluctantly gave cylinder re-
cording q few of his words, and to a
young man who particularly interested
him he gave another on which is re-
corded his favorite story. These are
the only two in existence. - Ladies'

A Puzzle to Scientists.

Careful measurements by govern
ment engineers have revealed the fact
that 10000 second-feet of water are lost
from the Missouri river in its course
from one point in Montana TO another
some hundred miles or so down the
stream. This extraordinary leakage,
enough to make a very considerable
river of itself, has been somewhat OF a
puzzle to scientists; but the recent sue
cess CT Dakota farmers away to the
east and south of these points cn the
Missouri in sinking artesian wells
shows where it has gene. As geologists
had declared that there would not be
any water in these Dakota lands and
the flow proves to be remarkably abuG-
dant. it is believed that the farmers
have tapped the water which leaks from
the big hole in the Missouri river away
