J.. G. Rutherford, manager of the
Wilson mining aud milling company
OF STEMS Pass, was in the city Mon
day. He is sinking the shaft Of the
Volcano, to secure a water supply for
his mill. During July, in which only
fifteen days of work we're done in sink
ing, he secured a depth Of sixty feet.
The bottom of the shaft Is damp, in
fact makes quite a little water, and
the indications are good for encounter
ing a large supply. The mill is walt
ing for this water.
The New York Mail and Express, Of
the Goth, in its financial column, had
the following note regarding the Aber-
deem stock, the mines of the company
being located at Shakespeare: "a
more than normal demand appeared
for Aberdeen Copper, which registered
a substantial gain. In all orders we're
executed for 1900 shares at 263 to 80.
In the subsequent dealings profit TAX

out TO the Pass Tuesday to have a

arrangements for pumps and reduc-

Mineral Mountain company has some

a large amount Of ore.
VIM. Chino, superintendent in
charge of the Shannon mine, was in
the city the frst OF the week, accom-
panied by his nephew, James, en- route
to Silver City. Mr.. Chino expects to
go east in a few days, and may take a
trip across the water, to visit his old
home, which he left some nineteen
years ago., and has not seen since.
Mr.. Chino has been very successful in
managing the Shannon mine, and to
his good judgment the company owe
the discovery of some of the large ore
bodies. He has kept close to work at
the mine, not having been down to
Clifton for ten months.
The result of the visit of Messrs.
Dlbbrell, Mosheim and Lipscomb, Of
Seguin, Texas, to Lordsburg, has been
very satisfactory to them, as we'll as
to Lordsburg. These gentlemen,
with Professor Carrera, are the Lena
company. When this company pur-
chased the Mlser's Chest mine it had a
cash capital of $4,000. The stock
holders appreciated that this was not
large enough to do all they Intended,
and were prepared to increase the
capital, providing it was found neces-
sary. The original capital was Invest
ed in the Miser's Chest, aud on other
properties near it the company now
owning eleven claims. A great deal
of building and development work has
been done on this capital, and the
work has shown up the mine, and
proved It to be a most valuable prop
erty. When the stockholders were
here they were very we'll satisfied with
the outlook, and concluded that the
one thing necessary was to build a
concentration. This required addi-
tional capital. The capital of the
company was doubled, and is now
$50, 900. The additional capital was
furnished by the original stockholders,
none of it being offered to the public,
