Much comment in mining circles is
being made over the prolonged absence
of f. w. Theis in the east, who at latest
advices was in Pittsburg, Pa. Many
take this as an omen that the Schuyl-
kill mine is to be worked on large
scale, and the long absence of Mr..
Thei' look "a though he is putting
thi gs in shape with this end in view.
With the addition of the Schuylkill
to the other big paying miaes here it
would give the town and district new
and wonderful lease on prosperity.
Both the Tennessee and Elkhart
mines PIT to work an additional force

properties are beirg worked to their
full capacity with the addition of con-
siderable new development work.
The old Juno mine has good force
of mel at wo running drifts in the
lower workings putting things in shape
for greater force. The new one hun
dred foot sh lft, whIc lls just been
completed, did not reach the main ore
body, | e 4ce this drifting. The ore oh.
tanned i, of fairly high grade quality
a ID the traces of galena and copper in
the ore l. growing stronger. The man
agemelt, as well as we'll as the miners
engaged at work on the Juno, have con-
cluded from pre- ent indications, that
IT will not be many days before a fine
al d la tirg body of ore will be encoun-
tered, and tlat the property will rank
alorg with other great mines in the
camp.
j. c. SWickard has doubtless made
great discovery in the way of mineral
waters of great medicinal value. As
far az can be ascertained its curative
powers exist in its mild and laxative
effects on the system and following
beaticial result from its use. Attention
wa, called to its peculiar qualities by
its use in cooking, while Mr.. Swickard
was out prospecting. The discovery
is about five miles northwest of town,
and the discoverer is packing it into
town on buiTos and distributing trial
barrels free Testimonials are coming

j. NJ. Quine, formerly a miner and
prospector here, has returned after

of some good looking ore.
Asa LeBarron, bucket man at the

There was an unfounded rumor
abroad the past week that the postotfice
and mail line to Mineral Park had
been discontinued, which, so far as
known has not been publicly contra
dicted. The mines of that district are
producing their regular quota of good
shipping ores and the people continue
to be very hopeful of the future, and
know of no just reason why such a
calamity as losing their postoffice and
stage line should bafs II them.
