such way as to cover the mouth Of the
tunnel by which the ground was opened.
Prlm brought suit for damages. The

the costs assessed to him besides.
The company's attorney set up insult.

First Cfanston Elevator on John Day.

First Cfanston Elevator on John Day.
J. K. Firth. representing the Joshua
Hendy Machine Works, Of San Francisco,
was In Canyon City last week. His
company Is the builder Of the Cranston
elevators. and It Is likely one or more will
be installed In this section Of the country.
This elevator Is used In working mining
ground where there Is not sufficient fall
for dump. The first machine of this
pattern was put In successful operation on
Canyon creek many years ago by a man
named Cranston, who left here to have a
pattern made by some iron foundry, but
never returned. The machines are a
success wherever used, and Is considered
the only practical method Of working over
the placer ground along the John Day
valley and on Canyon creek.-Canyon
