a cross cut is being driven south
TO locate the foot wall. A
small tense of good ore has been
encountered in the cross-cut.
The water in the Ashland mine
has now been lowered to a point
thirty two leet below the eight
level. The pumps are doing
effective work, and it is believed
that the bottom of the ninth level
will be reached by the end II
the coming week. An examin-
alton of the eight level was made
during the week. and crosse cuts,
drifts and rooms were found TO
be in practically as good con-
dition as when the level flooded
several years ago. No. 4 shaft
cleaned out and retimbered TO a
depth of nearly 200 feet.
The blockade at Sailors En-.
campment at the 500, resulting
from the grounding of the
Douglass Houghton, curtailed
Lake Superior ore shipments to
great extent during the latter
part of last week. The block
ade was raised Sunday afternoon
and during the past few days
large fleets have arrived at Ash
land for Gogebic range ores.

FROM THE MINES
90 Go -rh-nsa rh-ces-r9, g. n, ~ Or
The Hilltop.

iAO AAAiiNOp'
Asreporter for THE DIAMOND
DRILL accompanied Capt c. II.
Roberts TO the Hilltop location
yesterday and was very much
surprised at the change that had
taken place there tsince our last
visit, about month ago. The
ore body had been. stripped for
a length Of about 100 feet and
fifty feet in width, exposing a
fine body Of ore. On the north
side Of the deposit a shaft house
has been erected and a spur
track, branching from the Crys-
tai Falls mine track, has been
put in. On the foot side of the
deposit skip track has been
put down distance Of about
fifteen feet. East Of the shaft
house q distance Of about 100
feet a boiler has been erected
and hosting plant put in posi-
ton. Steam was up" in the
boiler when we got over there
and before we left the engine
was turned over The captain
expects to be loading ore by the
middle Of next week and from the
way that he has hustled things
since he started work we feel
certain that his expecta-
tons will be met. bob"
Phillips has the contract to put
the mine in shape and to mine
the ore and is responsible for
much Of the good work that has
been done. Mr. Roberts was
fortunate in securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Phillips for he is
certainly the right man in the
right place.
The captain has been agree.
ably surprised in sinking the
skip pit by the discovery of what
seems to be a deposit of soft ore
behind the slip of soapstone that
has been supposed to lie along
the foot wall. At a depth of
four or five feet this ore was met
with and it shows up well. This
discovery IS important from the
fact that il indicates that the
hard ore in the Hilltop proper is
not the true body and that, in.
stead of being a small deposit OF
ore in one corner Of the prop
erty. the Hilltop is liable to show
up a surprisingly large mine
before many moons have passed.
Mr.. Roberts figures to load
about ten thousand tons before
the close Of navigation if the
mine is not sold in the meantime
He gave q two-day option yester-
day TO a large Marquette range

underi it. The Monitor shaft is
but a few feet from the Paint
md, although the workings in
the Monitor are much deeper
than those OF the Paint. no rock
has been encountered in that
mine yet. The Paint and Mont
tor logically belong together
and the securing of the property
by the operators of the Monitor
will be good thing for all con.
cerned.

Exploring.

Mr.. Geo. Mas has finally
succeeded in getting a standpipe
to the ledge where he is explor-
ing near the cemetery in the
city of Negaunee, the drift being
$50 feet thick. He will now be
diamond drilling. The section
is well thought of by mining men
and twill be no surprise if ore
is found.

Cell at Pinos Altos. The vein extends
the entire distance of developed ground,
averaging 6 inches of the very best kind

compressor drill for sinking in hard
sized vein of copper pyrites was recent

A strike of considerable Importance
has been made at the Clark and Lucas
native copper mine at Santa Rita. 1t
has been a question whether the great
band Of orthoclase porphyry, which
carries the large amounts of copper
found in the Santa Rita basin, was still
impregnated with copper at a distance
from the great ore body. 1t was decided
to exploit the porphyry, SO at a depth
of rs feet in the incline shaft a crossaut
was run. Twelve feet in the ore-bearing
porphyry band was encountered, and
found to be heavily impregnated with
native copper almost identical with the
native copper ores of the adjacent ba-
sin of Santa Rita.

word northern in the title is generally
taken to indicate hat the Rio Grande

pose of saving the climb to Chama. The
present purpose is that of tapping the

The CHEMICAL ENGINE.
It Is Fairly Tested and Pronounced Entirely
Satisfactory.


AT $40 o'clock last night the hre
alarm sounded, and the whole depart
ment responded in remarkably short
time. The scene of the fire was on Don
Gaspar avenue, near the river, where
a frame building had been constructed
on a vacant lot and filled with boxes,
paper, straw. and packing saturated
with coal oil. When the firemen reached
the fire flames were bursting from the
building on all sides, but nevertheless
the fire was under control a few seconds
after the chemical engine put a stream
upon it. Fifty more feet of hose was
then attached to the engine and the
fire given another start. The flames
were extinguished in a minute or two,
and the damage to the building was
found to be very slight. The inflamma-
BILE material in the building was then
taken out and put on a separate heap,
set on fire and given a chance to get
a good start. The stream from the
chemical engine extinguished it almost
Immediately. The large crowd that wit
messed the test of the engine pronounced
it a wonder, and the best piece of fire
apparatus with which a department in
a city like Santa Fe could be equipped.
The firemen are elated over the success
of the practice, which proved that they
understand the new engine thoroughly
and that they are we'll trained. In
rounding the curve Of San Francisco
street and Don Gaspar avenue the
tongue of the hook and ladder truck
was broken. otherwise, no mishap oc-
Cured. The frame house will remain
standing for future practice.
After the engine practice a collation.
was served at the fire house to firemen.

OYER A PLACER CLAIM.
Parties Who Had An Option Defeated in
Attempt to Relocate,

In the case of Joseph p. Rinker ct al.
VS.. Joel NJ. Bennett ct al, of Rio Arriba
county, Judge McFie yesterday de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff. The suit
was over a mine located in Rio Arriba
county, upon which the defendants OBJ
tanned an option, but which they failed
to purchase. The defendants set forth
that the mining claim had been illegally
located by the plaintiff, and that they,
the defendants, made a correct location,
and, therefore, claimed possession OF
the mine. The court ruled:
/. That the mineral land in contro-
versy was subject to location as a placer
mining claim January l, 1881, and a valid
location thereof was made at that time
by w. F. Seward, ST., w. f. Seward,
Jr., Eta Seward and Emma L. Seward,
as a mining placer claim, and said claim
was conveyed to j. p. Rinker, one of
the plaintiffs, by mining deed, dated
June s, 1897.
into peaceable possession of said land
and claim under said deed of convey
ance.
8. That if any errors or defects exist
ed in the Seward location above referred
! to, they were cured by the amended To-
cation made January l, 1898.
4. That the defendants entered into
possession of said property January 21
| 1QnC ,rInr ytryriftnn nnti0n from
Plaintiff Rinker to A. s. Belcher, grant
ing the defendants and his associates
the right to purchase said placer claim
at any time within ninety days from
January q, 1898, for the sum of $4,000,
provided $500 vas paid by said Belcher
within thirty days from date of option,
That the time to pay said $500 was ex-
tended by consent, and the same was
paid about April /, 1898.
5. That the final limit of said option
was by consent of parties extended un-
til May l, 1898.
6. That without surrendering the pos
session the defendants attempted to 10.
cate said placer claim by placing a 10,
cation notice thereon, and claiming pos
session adverse to the plaintiffs under
said location.
7. That at the time defendants at
tempted to locate said property the
same was not open to location, as de
PENDANTS option had not expired, ant
said land was subject TO prior valid To-
cation and appropriation. The defend.
ants attempted location was, therefore
void, and no valid right of possession
could be maintained under it.
8. That legal title has not been es
tablished in either plaintiff or defend
ant, but that the plaintiff has estab
lished the better right of possession, AM
possession will therefore be awarded
the plaintiff by the Judgment of thu
court.
9. The proof does not show that thu
plaintiff has sustained any special dam
ages; therefore, only nominal damage
will be allowed.
