from the Eagle vein, which he says

about - per cent. copper, which i
cerlaij<ly ENod enough TO satisfy any
one.

raucher named Russell. Mr.. Russell
was in town last week with some speci-
mems which were almost hall gold
He states that he made u shipment Of
500 pounds OF ore, which brought him
about 5000. He was very re7tricent
a. TO the location OF the tind. but left
the impression that it was on the

The ERA CLEANS from New Mexico
papers that all parties 10 the Clifton
Copper com Dany's suit y. Ashton K
Roach, OF Silver City and II. {. Begal.
OF st. Louis, met az Silver City last
week to take testimony in this now
famous case. There i a strong proba-
bility, however, that the case will be
! settled out Of court, as the defendants
J have offered important concessions TO
the company, ana the company. repre-
sentatlves are now considering the
proposition. Clifton people are
largely interested in this property,
and all hope to see a settlement made
whereby the company can resume
operations.
The following telegram dated at
Silver City. Oct. II, was received by
the ERA yesterday:
Clifton Copper company case set
tied greatly to the advantage OF the
company"
\ dispatch from Boston dated the
10Th instant. says that the stOckhOld-
crs Of the Old Dominion company OF
I Globe, authorized the board of direc
tors to bond the property for 500, 600
and issue new stock through the Old
Dominion Securities company. This
action will permit the management to
force the construction Of the new
plant, as the stockholders are subScrib
ing literally to the Old Dominion
Securities cOmpany's stock. The
Globe Belt says that the closing down
OF the Only furnace in operation at the
Old Dominion was the cause of good
deal Of apprehension, which WAS not
Justified, a. the company was without
fuel oil for several days. and was COM
PEELED to burn coal. Oil is now ar
irving, but some repairs will be made
TO the burners before again starting
up. The amount of money raised by
the sale OF the bonds will be ample to
complete the new and model plant for
the Old Dominion after which divid-
en- Is OuHht 10 be assured.
VIM. Chino, superintendent OF the
shannon mine, was down town
this week for the first time in almost
Il year. Mr.. Chino says that he is now
employing about 300 miners in the
various mines under his supervision.
The mines are now producing an aver
age Of 600 tons of ore per day, which
is Ger ainly IA splendid showing. Dur
ing the past month about 1000 feet OF
development work has been done in
the mines, and new ore bodies are con-
tinually being opened up. The old
shannon mine is now producing con-
siderable amount of high grade ore and
Mr.. Chino thinks it will hold its own
with the best of them in the territory.
He has one slope 50 feet wide OF low
grade ore. lie has also recently
opened up a fine body of high grade
ore on the Sands group, which is
owned by the Shannon company, and
from which MIR. Chino expect, great
results in the future. Everything
around the mine is now running like
clock work, and there is no trouble to
get plenty of miners. Mr.. Chino Is
one of the hardest working aud most
conscientious mining men in the terri .
tory and the success of the shannon
mine Is largely due to his intelligent
management.
