Mayor Fahey as a Mnrksman.

While Wilmington officials were
guests of Reading officials on Mt
Penn Monday week Mayor Fahey, Chief
of Police Dolan and several other Will
mington and Reading officials went
chestnut hunting. The mayor carried
cane with hook on the end and one
of the members of the party threw it
up the tree in an effort 10 shake down
some chestnuts. The cane hung on one
of the branches and several of those
in the party began TO throw stones at
it, hoping to knock it down. The
mayor saw that none of tho others
could hit it, and picking up small
stone he gave it an easy toss and
struck the cane fairly, bringing it to
the ground, whereupon his friends con-
graduated him on his craftsmanship

Toronto syndicate which recently &C
quired the Pole creek diggings of A. w
Tanner, in Madison county. is in the
city and will leave tonight for Toronto
on business connected with his syndi-
cate. The price paid for this property
Was $50, 900. of which Mr.. Tanner received
a large proportion down, and since the
contamination of the deal the new con-
Germ has spent about SIT. 900 in develop
ment work. in constructing bitches, res
ervoirs fumes. A big hydraulic
plant has been ordered from the Joshua
Hendy company of San Francisco, and
will be installed as soon as the weather

| rights controlling 5000 miners inches of
| water, which has II fall of $50 feet, and
when arnessed by proper hydraulic ma
chinery will handle an immense amount
of gravel.
Mr.. Turner also has charge of the Red
Bluff mine, a property which in the past
has produced something like 5000. 900 in
geld. He informed an Inter Mountain re-
porter today that exploitation had proven
the value of the property to his entire
satisfaction. The vein was recently
cross-cut at the 200 level and o a
hlSh-grade body OF concentrating ore IL
feet wide, and two feet of shipping ore.
Drifts are now being run east and west
on the ore body n the cross-cut is be-
ing continued toward the foot wall. A
station pump will be installed and the
present three-compartment shaft sunk
to a greater depth, and plans are being
prepared for a 50-tOn concentrating
plant. which will be running with the
early spring.
The ore body is continuous from the
surface to the deepest workings of the
mine 1t has changed somewhat in
character with depth and the values are
now contained in pyrites of iron and
galena, an excellent concentrating ore,
the value being in the metal.
Red Bluff has taken on new life and
the camp is in q very prosperous cOndi-
ton. Five mines are ~working-the Red
Bluff, the Water Lode, Grubstake, Red
Chief and the Comstock.

has a great future.
