The st. Charles brothers are extract
ing ore from the 70level of the Mid
night mine. The ore streak at this
point is very large and the ore of good
value. The mine has been opened to u
depth Of 200 feet and shows great bod
les of ore of moderate value. With the
right kind of reduction plant the
mine ought to become a big producer.
The Pinkham shaft has reached a
depth of 125 feet at which point a sta
ton is being cut and drifts run off.
The vein has been cut TO width OF

found. The mine is sure to become
the greatest producer of copper ore in
the county, the value being upwards OF
fifteen per cent. The ore carries near
ly 10JS per ton in gold and silver. Su
perintendent Jenkins is putting the
mine in splendid shape to output large

THAT HORSE SALE.

It looks now as IT nothing ShOrt or a declaration of war and q reW pas SageS at arms Will S4uare up matueiS betWeen the board oI pupilc sale.y ana the board o1 puDiIc Worhs over the horse deaf. Inc nre uepafIment owned the horses and turneu tnem over to the street department with the understanding that they were go- ing to get a transfer of SIUO for the horses, the amount agreed upon De- tween committees representing She 1.-two boards, Aldermen Mahaney and Blakeslee acting for the board of pub- lie wo.ks a q c mmissione Klein exc and Hull looking cut for tue interests of the fire department. It seems that N1r Mahaney and MT Blakeslee ad- vised the two commissioners of the board Of public safety not to ask for the transfer of the $1O0 until after the first of the new year. and when the bill came before the board of finance last night it was pushed aside on the ground that no such transfer can be made. The price of the horses must be turned into the city treasury in stead of going to the account of the fire department, so that while the city will get the money none of it will go 10 the board of public safety. Now the tiremen are talking of taking back the horses and using them, but Super intendent Kelley told Chief Snagg to- day that the horses had been bought and must remain where they are, and there you are. Meanwhile it is said that Commissioners Hull and Klein eclze are following up Mahaney and BlAkeSlee and intend to get square with them at the first opportunity. They pronounce the thing q swndle and see no difference in it and open horse stealing.

 dered and the Mills Went Under.
 Philadelphia, Jan 4.-The Dingley Woolen Mills company has gone into the hands of a receiver. The affairs of the company were involved with those of George Campbell, who failed recently, and it was found necessary to ask for the appointment of receiver and James Pollock was named. He is also receiver for Mir Campbell.
 Owing to the failure of the mills a bid which had been made for q con- tract for government blankets amount ing to about S30.0O0 will be withdrawn. Receiver Pollock says that the failure of the Dingley mills. as well as that of MT Campbell, is due to the notorlety given the fact that government inspec- tors had refused to accept some of the blankets made by Mir Campbell. The latter was large operator and was compelled to do much business on paner. involving long credits.
 The banks refused his new notes. creditors pressed him and the failure resulted.
 Mr CamDhell will retire nermanenfly and the mills will be closed after pres ent contracts are finished.
