The miners in that portion of Vernilion
district are still bothered with seepage
water from the surface.
Mr.. T.. H. Stockbridge, OF the Fisk
Gold Mining company informs The Oh

at the main shaft of the Fisk mine has
ceased to be an annoyance or hindrance
to the miners, and that the property
never gave a better showing than at
present.
That portion of Eureka district ad-

AUTHORIZATION FOR DENVER MINT
Representative Shafroth last Monday
secured promise from the director OF
the U. s. mint to recommend an appro-
priation Of S15o,OO0 for the purchase of

1t is necessary to appropriate the money
for the machinery some time in advance,
because the time consumed in advertis-
ing, drawing specifications and placing
machinery, takes about eighteen months.
If the appropriation is not made at this
