interrupted him in his pcrusai Of

races than any other one h tse. Last
year when he was in the height of
his glory winning race after race,
every time suffering with leg troubles,
he was idolized by every turfman in
the country. Every horseman's jour
nal and newspaper sporting editor ac-
corded him the palm for being the best
and at the same time the most re-

altogether about twenty races last

He stated just before leaving here that the ore body of the Ircn King was very much larger than he expected to find, in fact he had never seen so large a body of pay ore at the 100-foot level. He predicted that with proper develop ment the Iron King will become one of the noted gold mines of the world.
 The American Copper company Is working a force of thirty men. Work has not stopped on the property, except Sundays, for over two years. The main drift at the 100-foot level is now over TAO feet long. all in pay ore. Crosscut No. is over 1S0 feet long and crosscut No. Is over 1S0 feet long. all in ore except a few barren ribs.

A. G. Sandburg and Jesse Brown completed the location work on a claim situated in the west branch of Box canyon and the former brought down Saturday a specimen of the ore found. The specimen weighs about 100 pounds and carries gold, copper and silver. They have several carloads of ore of this character on the surface.

 w. F. Snodgrass arrived here from Los Angeles Tuesday and left the next day for Kelvin to look after his gold and copper prospects. He is also In charge of the Kelvin Copper company's properties which lie on the south side of the river opposite Kelvin.
 Wagons loaded with coke for the Troy Manhattan Copper company have been passing through here all week. It is reported that ten carloads of coke for this company are in transit. This means that the smelter will soon re- sume operations.
 Henry Reynolds. who has been pros pecting in the Mineral Hall district for several months past, discovered a vein of fine lead ore this week. He exhibited to us samples of galena from the vein that would probably assay sixty per cent lead. He has not yet determined the extent of the ore body but will com mence development work at once with view to ascertaining the real value or his find.
 Another strike was made on the Henry -Ritsch property this week. Sew eral weeks ago George Westfall and Alex Sears contracted to sink a fifty 1 foot shaft in one O fthe claims of the ! group. They started the shaft on a small stringer of ore which "pinched" down to a mere seam as sinking pro-

In the old dumps there are several thousand tons of good grade ore and this will be worked up as soon as the mill is in running order. A device for the handling Of the gases in the mine is being arranged and will be put in at once. It will carry all the foul gases from the mine and will en- able the handling of the gasoline hoist without endangering the lives of the miners. A meeting of the directors of the company will be held in Los An geles in a few days and all arrange ments for the new work will be made and plans for the future outlined.
