MINING MENTION.

mine owners. to fix the responsibility,
each saddling ii upon the Others.
The mine owners claim that the rail-
roads refuse to haul their mill ore. In
reply the railroads state that the mill0
cannot handle the ore and this necesst-
tates the tying up of their cars and
using them for storage purposes, IN
stead Of transportation
The mill owners. loaded down with
ore. blame the mine owners for mar
keting too much mill grade when they
can easily cut down their tonnage for
the time being. and Increase the aver
age of their grade and hence get larger
returns.
In regard to the glutted condition Of
the plants, In Is stated that the ADeft
can Smelling 4 Refining company pos
itively prohibited the railroads from
receiving any more ore for their planfs.

der was disobeyed. and as a conse-
Quence two ears shipped remain in
the yards at Pueblo and the shipper II
paying demurrage upon them. Tha
Colorado Philadelphia plant at Pueblo
has DO cars Of ore now ON hand, and
cannot receive any more.
This present condition of affairs win
in time adjust itself. especially in view
Of the fact that more mills are being
erected. Others are projected and addi-
tons are being made to the other
plants. A shut down Of the mines at
this time. while 1t would assist both thu
reduction works and the railroads,
would nevertheless do great harm to
the district. and should. as it doubtless
will. he prevented at all hazards.

TiIs Dire ias for runnels.

California railroads are troubled
with wet tunnels. the expense Of which
to maintain Is considerable, as the
dripping moisture keeps the ballast
soft. while the rails work loose at the
joints. To overcome this difficulty,
says the "Clayworker." the Southern
Pacific company has adopted a policy
embracing the use of a tile drainage
system in all OF the wet tunnels on itB
lines in this state and Oregon Com
mon 4-inch drain tile Is the material
used and. as there are between 4 and
) miles Of tunnels to be equipped, thu
amount Of tile will be very large. Ths
first to undergo the improvement was
the San Bernandino tunnel near Los
Angeles. Cal. which is the longest
tunnel in California. being close N
1000 feet. The tile is laid on each
side Of the track just below the gravel.
with n little space between the joints.
In order to allow the water to seep
through and ind nm outlet In the pipes-
II the. pipes were Joined together it
would be more diflicult for the water
to force its way through. The tunnels
that are now tile-drained are quite dry
and easy to handle. while the roadhsa
remains harsi and safe. The work h
no& being pushed with vigor In ths
wet tunnels on the Oregon division.

At Cooks. In Grant county. a wonder
full body Of lead carbonates has been
found by A. J. Taylor In his claim atl-
joining the Desdemona. 4 cave was
broken into which shows the whole
floor betlded to an unknown depth with
high grade ore. The cave has been ex-
plored for over 800 feet in length. with
the same wonderful showing OF ore
throughout. Drills have been sunk to
the depth Of L. feet at various points
and the ore was found TO be alike rich.
The fortunate owner was offered &1j0l-
600 for one-half interest In the prop
erty. but refused II.
The body Of rich ore encountered in
the Yosemite at Santa Rita is turning
out to he bonanza. This one mine at
Santa Rita IL returning a greater net
profit than any other mine in the ter
ritory.
The new stack for the Silver City ~
duction works WAS placed in position
this week and the capacity Of the plant
has been increased to 24O tons per day.

A tunnel driven at the Red Point

Placer county. Cal. was run several
hundred feet before striking the chan
mel. when the channel was worked
IL was eventually learned that the
channel might have been reached
within q few feet of the mouth Of thu
tunnel: hut the fact was not previ-
ously apparent. owing to the surface
debris. At the Gray Eagle mine. ON
the same ridge. a shaft was sunk sew
eral hundred feet to prospect for .

parently in the channel. A tunnel was
run several thousand feet to tap the
bottom OF the shaft. when. upon reach

the shaft had struck a depression ON

turned up stream and run several
thousand feet before beslrcck was
