The Elk Mountain Copper AMI Min
ing company has been organized here,
with a capital stock of 100000, with
shares at 81 each. The trustees for the
first year are: T. R. Smith. Spen ,er E.

Of the mountain, of which frequent men
ton has been made in The Sun
Forty-five thousand shares have been
set aside as treasury stock and are being
eold at 10 cents. After 10000 shares have
been sold the price will be raised. 5000
shares were sold in this place yesterday.
The prospects OF the company are very
bright. While they have no we'll de-
veloped mines they have some OF the
richest copper prospects I'VE seen in this
or any other country.

The Mammoth Group.

A. G. Epperson and two sons, who
have been working their claims on the
head of Jack creek the past fall, came
down last week and will remain in
town until after the holidays. They
are working on what is known as the
Mammoth group. There are five
claims in this group and they are do
ing the assessment work for the group
on n claim. Mr.. Epperson says
they have run a tunnel in IS feet and
tapped a vein of copper ore II feet in
width which looks fine and will give
returns in gold and silver as well as
copper. They are now sinking on
the vein and are confident that they
have a good thing. This group is
situated about q miles from the Ru-
defeha. Mr.. Epperson also has a
number of claims in the vicinity of
the Rudefeha which give an excellent
showing.
He and his two 0 m expect to re-
turn to their work after Christmas and
will remain in there the rest of the
winter.

Thought They Lived In A Haunted
House.

A Saratoga family had a large and
unique mystery OIL their hands a few
days ago, which they would have
been willing to dispose of at a con-
siderable reduction below cost. Every
evening, after the women folks had
retired, (the head of the family being
engaged in business and not at home
until 10 or IL o'clock,) there would
come three mysterious bumps just
after the clock had struck. This
would occur every half hour and the
hired girl, fourteen or fifteen years of
age, and the mistress of the house,
would become so frightened that they
would run screaming from the house
into the yard, frightened nearly to
death. The matter grew so serious
that they tore up the floor and search
cd high and low, but the mysterious
bumpings would continue and the
women grew afraid to live in the
house. The girl was terribly agitat-
ed over the trouble and after the
bumps would run screaming out of
her room, white as a sheet and on
the verge of hysteria.
Finally, after running, nearly a
week, the mystery was cleared up.
1t was the girl. When the clock
would strike she would rise up in
the bed and bump her head against
the headboard of the bed in which
she was lying. The suspicion of the
gentlemen rested on her, but when
she was charged with the matter she
stoutly denied is. But they laid in
wait for her and caught her in the
act. 1t is needless to say that there
were no more humping sounds, when
the clock struck, in that house.

From the Other "RambIer."

Ralph Wood came back the past
week from a visit to his father, at
Woods Landing. He brougt with
him a specimen of the copper rock
which is now being taken from the
Rambler mine in the Douglas Mining
district, in the southeast corner of
Carbon county. The specimen shows
native copper in reddish granite. Mr..
Wood says the shaft on the mine is
down lis feet at this time and that
there are 100 IONS of ore on the dump.
The present quality of ore was struck
at a depth of 100 feet from the sur
face. Ore is now being hauled to the
railroad at Laramie and shipped to
the smelter.
Joseph Farrell, George S. and w.
S. Adams, of this place, own claims
very close to the Rambler, all of
which give as good surface promise
as that mine.

A Fine Service.

The Saratoga ncampment stage
line, of which William Orville is the
proprietor, is one of the finest lines
run anywhere in the west. His stock
are sleek and fat and leave town like
it was a pleasure for them to pull the
coach to which they are hitched and
sometimes it is an even chance wheth-
er they or the driver are to have the
say about the gait which they are to
travel. They do not need any coax
ing to keep them from tagging and
each one takes hold with a will. Mr..
Orville deserves great credit for
the manner in which he takes care of
his horses, and the way he conducts
his line.

Killed a Grey Wolf.

William Turnbull took his pack of
hounds out Friday and bagged a
large grey wolf up in the pasture of
d. c. Kidding, twelve or thirteen
miles from here up the river. The
animal was a young one, weighing SO
pounds and in fine condition. He
was started out of the cedar hills and
run down into the river bottom where
he fell an easy prey to the hounds.
Nearly all the pack whom MI. Turn
bull took out Friday we're quite young,
this being their first experience under
the leadership of one of the old dogs.

An Embarrassing Situation.

A rather good story is told on a
young man who attended a dance in
the valley this winter. 1t seems the
young man was busy talking to a
young lady and saw what he thought
was some ones white handkerchief on
the floor at his side. Without taking
his eyes of the young lady and con-
finuing the conversation he stopped
down to pick up the handkerchief
and instead of a kerchief, got hold of
the white slippered foot of "a young
lady, who was sitting beside him and
whom he had not noticed before.
Apologies were profuse on his part
and blushes We're abundant on hers,

HI CUMBERLAND.
J Tunnel 800 Feet in Length Being Run
in on That Property-The Work
in Charge of LETTER Palmer
Boston Capital Developing
The Property.

Eight or nine miles east of Saratoga,
pestling in the peaks of Timber noun
Etain, lies the Cumberland copper
mine. The smoke from the works
can be see from this town when the
wind is favorable and the people at
'the mine can, by stepping out on a
nearby point, have a good view of
Saratoga at any time.
The Cumberland has been discover
ed a number of years and very recent
by was the property of Charles Har-
den, F. A. Hadsell, w. B. Hugus and
Others, but by a recent deal the prop
erty passed into the hands of I. NJ.
Conness and LETTER Palmer. 1t is
understood that the greater part of
the interest, purchased by L. NJ. Con-
ness, belongs to Boston parties who
are putting up the necessary capital
with which to work the mine.
A shaft was sunk ON this mine sew
eral years ago, but had to be aban-
doned on account of the water. At
present Mr.. Palmer is engaged in
running a tunnel 800 feet in length
into the side of the mountain, which
will tap the vein at a depth of 300
feet from the surface. The tunnel is
now in 70 feet and very recently ma
chinery was taken in with which to
prosecute the work during the winter.
The machinery consists of boiler, air
compressor, drill, car cars, track and
fan.
Two shifts will be run and the work
pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
BILE and it is thought that they will
reach the vein before the snow leaves
in the spring.
There is quite a village of houses
at the mine. A bunk house, cook
house, blacksmith shop, cellar and
power house, the latter of which
stands near the mouth of the tunnel.
The mine is worked with compress
ed air.
The. outlook for the Cumberland is
very good. The vein is four or five
feet in width at the bottom of the
shaft and filed with copper ore of a
fair grade. 1t is expected that when
the vein is tapped by the tunnel that
a large body of copper ore will be
opened up.

THE CoMSToCK MINING
Work Going on in That Group Of Claims
Very Satisfactorily-In 100 Feet
OIL The Tunnel, Which Will
Probably be Complet-
ed in February,

William Norrell, who is one of the
owners of the Comstock Mining Co.,
has had word from the men at the
mines, who are engaged in running a
tunnel in ON the claims embraced in
the group. The men are in 100 feet
at the present time, having gained
200 feet in depth. They tapped three
of the veins, each of which shows up
a large body of a low grade ore, ear
rying copper, gold and silver. The
rock in the tunnel is mineralized and
copper is to be found in every foot of
rock gone through so far.
1t will take 100 feet of tunneling to
reach tn. last of the remaining leads,
which show on the surface, and it is
expected that the work will be com
pleted by the last of February, 1901,
at the latest. When the last vein is
tapped 400 feet in depth will have
been gained and it is expected that
very rich ore will be found at that
point.

Washington, March Is. - The
reports of the war department Off
eials at San Francisco, charged
with an investigation into the con-
dition of the transport Manuense
on her trip to Manila have been re-

that tbs machinery of the vessel
was in very bad condition and that
she was otherwise unfit for the use
to which she was put. The officials
here decline to make public the re-
port of the investigation and prob
ably will await the return of See

ton in the matter. Acting Secre-
tary Meiklejohn said today that on
her trip to Manila the department
lost $1,000 worth of commissary
