Mining Prospects at Enon.

T. j. Shaughnessy, who has
been working in a mining shaft
at Enon for six months for the
Keytesville Mining company of
which he is a member, and SUI
perintending the sinking of sew
eral other shafts, came home on
a visit to his family Sunday
morning and made the COURIER
sanctum a friendly call Monday.
Mr.. Shaughnessy is very en-
thusiastic as to ultimat success
in the Enon mines. Six of the
mines are now taking out miner
al in paying quantities and he
thinks all the others will do like
wise when sufficiently developed.
In one of the mines operated by
Mr.. Shaughnessy lead was found
six feet from the top of the
ground, and continued in pay
ing quantities to a depth of 80
feet, where an open room was
discovered about 20 by 35 feet
and II feet deep. Next to the rock
wall on one sidesof this, iron ore,
with small mixture of silver,
was discovered. What future
developments may reveal is a
matter of conjecture, but Mr..
Shaughnessy has no doubt of
good results, and is encouraged
in this belief by an all-day visit
and investigation made by the
superintendent of Fortuna mine
in the same county, which has
proven to be one of the richest
deposits of lead and zinc of any
mine in the state. The superin-
] tendent of the Fortuna mine is
an expert in mining and is wcn-
derfully pleased with Enon on
account of developments already
made and others that are in
prospect. He has been trying
to lease lands in the vicinity Of
.Enon, but has failed because the
Keytesville and Central Missouri
compa. les have leased all the
mining lands in that neighbor.

Write to District Attorney Breckons
and Express Thanks to That Official

United States District Attorney
Breckons received by the Alameda a
letter from the II. Is Wood Lumber
Company San Francisco, owners OF the
schooner Fred. j. Wood, on which the
captain was murdered a short time
ago, causing her to put in here. The
owners express their appreciation ~
the work of the mate anu second mate
of the vessel, as well as Of the assist
ance rendered them by Breckons. The
letter contains the following:
I'VE beg to acknowledge receipt of
your favor of the ON inst, containing
copy of log of the schooner Fred j.
wood, also account OF the foul murder
Of our Captain Jacobson Mrs. Jacob
son and cnIldIen aIliyed here with
the body on the steamer Alameda and
the funeral was held today. We can
not express our horror that such a deed
was done and | trust the steps that
have already been taken looking to the
punishment of the man will be thor
oughly followed up.
THE e. X. Wood Lumber Co. is a
corporation, under the laws of the
State of California, and we are the
managing owners of the schooner Fred.
J. Wood
IF it should become necessary for
one of the company to go to Honolulu
at the time of the trial, l presume that
either E. X. Wood, president, or c. A.
Thayer, secretary, could go. Although
II it was only necessary to establish
the ownership of the vessel, l presume
that could be done by certificate from
the United States Custom officer here,
which would show that fact.
we also take pleasure in noting
your remarks regarding the conduct of
the first and second officers at the time
Of the murder, and will say that we
are always glad to recognize such abil-
lty in any of our employees. We desire
also to especially thank you for the
copy of the log sent us, which we ap-
preciate very much"
