way, but outside Of their positions in

Leeper were of Woods. These four
men are plainly entitled to the lion S

the plaintiff Malon, was lawfully
travelling on the sidewalk on the west

mercial Row and Second street, on
the evening of June Goth, when he
was, without fault or negligence on
his part, precitated into an excava-

work will be pushed vigorously.
Ray and O'Brien.

Work on the Ray & O'Brien group,
which adjoins the property above
mentioned, will also soon begin in a
systematic and practical manner The
services of one of the best mining men
in the state have been secured and
the work contemplated will be under
his direction. Ample funds for the
work have been provided and nothing
now stands in the way of making
them first-class properties. That
they have worth cannot be success
fully denied, but they are the class
of mines that require large outlay
before they can be made dividend
payers. At their present depth they
show strong and continuous bodies of
ore, and from them some very rich
shipments have been made. The
deepest shaft on the property is now
down 300 feet and from this 1877
foot drift has been run in ore, showing
nearly the entire distance ledge
three feet wide and carrying rich
pay streak from twelve to fifteen
inches in width. Much of this streak
runs up in the hundreds in value,
and as whole the ledge will make a
handsome product.
1t is the intention of the company
to sink the present main shaft to a
depth Of 700 feet and to do this the
whim which is now in use will be dis
carded and give way to a twenty two
horse power gasoline hoist which has
been ordered and is now on the way
The shaft will be timbered all the way
down and stations cut at regular
periods. so that drifting and stopping
can proceed without impeding other
work. 1t is also intended hereafter
to sort the ore and make steady
shipments.
With the work in contemplation ii
the Ray district, and under the man
agement which it is intended to EN-
ploy their can scarce be doubt as
to the future of the section, and soor
the BONANZA hopes to chronicle the
fact that all of it's mines have beer
/ put on a paying basis.

BIG WORK IN PROSPECT.
New Methods to Be Used il
Pumping Water.

Charles Hirschfeld, president OF
the Sierra Nevada and other Com
stock mining companies has told the
Virginia Report that the principal
object of his visit to that city was to
arrange for the reopening of the
Ward shaft preparatory to installing
a plant there to drain the Bullion,
Alpha, Exchequer and other mines
in the middle group.
Mr.. Hirschfeld says that the sur
face work preparatory to repairing
the shaft win be completed in about
three weeks. The shaft, including
the stump, has a total depth of 1915
feet. and intersects the Sutro tunnel
on the 1875 level. The last work
done through the shaft was in 1898
on the 1900 level, which was then un-
submerged.
Leon w. Hall will superintend the
work of reopening and installing a
pumping plant in the shaft, which
may include an air lift for raising the
water to the tunnel level with an ele
vator system indentical with that in
use in the c. and G. shaft, with the
difference that compressed air will be
subs for water in operating it.
The air lift system will be much
cheaper than water pressure.
