Mammoth, May 23.-It is reported
that the Mammoth management has
submitted propositions to contractors
for the sinking and timbering of a three
compartment shaft from the 800 to the
1,S00 level. The general opinion here is
that the great producer is in fine pbysi-
cal form, and that another dividend
will soon be announced.
The Cleveland mine will be reopened
and worked at once. lot of proviS-
ions and tools We're hauled yesterday
to the property preparatory to resum-

Cleveland's territory 1t is believed that
work at present will be done through
the Ajax tunnel. The mine is owned
by eX-Sheriff Lewis of Salt Lake and
associates.

at Star Consolidated.
The Star Consolidated shipped three
cars of ore to the sampler in Salt Lake
today. Every available space is en-
ployed to hold the ore now being hoist
ed and new ore bins are being built.
The big shaft is going down as rapid
ly as skilled miners can drive it, being
at this writing 562 feet from the collar.
The new pipe line is completed and
water will be turned in by Thursday.
VIII Lawrence and w. Z. Hubbard
arrived here this morning and went
direct to the Star Consolidated. Mr..
Hubbard informed the writer that the
workings of the Boss Tweed would
probably remain idle for a period of
three weeks, and possibly a month, be-
fore any defined plans for future labor
are formulated. Mr.. Hubbard believes
that a complete reorganization in the
board will occur and that the new Of
ficers and manager will direct all eff
forts towards thorough development of
the ground.
