The formation is strong Ia all points
about the property. Sink pit any

driven in all directions on the lower
level of the mine in hope of showing
up something but to date not one
encouraging feature has been met
with.
The operations are by no means on
their last legs for exploring in the
old mine, nothing having been done
to test the ground below where there
is great liability of there being another
lens found.

This exploration on the SW L Sc Il
sec 30, 1882 is looking about the same
as when we last wrote of it. The
workmen are in big wide belt Of a
jasper formation, much the same as
that at the Columbia.

These leases comprise respectively
the south half of the northwest of
section "a and the west half OF the
northeast of section 32. Work on the
TWO properties thus far has proven an
ore body OF approximately 1900. 900
tons on each, the work Of proving the
actual extent of the ore body being
continued with four drills, under
charge OF Ed. H. Sweeney.
The work of exploring the latter
piece of property has been slow and
expensive, the ore body lying beneath

thickness in different holes from 10 to

Corporation had practically closed a
contract with the Bessemer association
OF western Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio for something like 200. 900 tons Of
pig iron fer delivery in the latter half
OF the current year.
AT the offices Of the United States
Steel Corporation no information could
be obtained as TO the price agreed on.
That it is far below current quotations
was cheerfully ADMITTED In veiw of
such an exceptionally large order the
furnace men were wiling to grant
Extraordinary concessions. The order
involves an outlay of something like
80, $50, 0Oo. and is one OF the largest
ever placed for pig iron.
The fact that the contract for this
large block of iron has been made will
be announced formally ia few DAYS.
The contamination of the deal is Of
the utmost Importance to the iron in
dustry. ~ IL will establish q basis for
sales Of pig iron 10. the remainder OF
the year.
The Steel Corporation has deferred
pure hasing iron from outside interests,
claiming the price asked was too high.
A meeting OF the pig iron committee
of the Steel Corporation was held in
this city about two weeks ago, and a
price for pig for delivery in the last
half OF the year was agreed on. The
price fixed was below current quota
tions but met with the approval OF the
Bessemer association.
The Steel Corporation would have
closed the deal several months ago had
the Bessemer association consented to
come down in It's price. This accounts
for the deadlock that has existed be-
tween the two organizations

AT NORTH FREEDOM.

The Milwaukee Sentineps corres-
pendent to the Sentinel gives the
following account of the ore interest
and explorations at North Freedom.
One hardly can conveive of the
Baraboo river valley. one of the
beauty spots Of Wisconsin, being
transferred from a region OF fertile
helds and gently sloping hillside into
one OF the important mining centers
OF this country, but this conception
VIII mud its realization in actual fact
within the next ten years. Deposits
OF high-grade ore hundreds or acres in
extent have been located in the yicini
ty OF North Freedom. Similar work
IS being done from point west of
North Freedom to within few miles
OF Baraboo, and explorations are soon
to be made in territory east Of Baraboo.
The principal operator in the iron
helds at the present time is the Illinois
Iron Mining consisting OF stockholders
OF the Deering Harvester company, Of
Chicago. While the work of actual
mining has not begun, between 1000
and 5000 tons Of high grade ore have
been taken from this mine and can be
seen on the dump pile. This ore was
taken from the mine in the work in
cidental 70 drifting and prosecuting.
the exploration Of this property was
made with diamond drill and the
ore deposit was encountered at varying
depths, ranging from 100 TO 800 feet.
AT the present time the work is being
done upon a deposit 100 feet wide. con-
sisting of forty feet Of high grade ore
and sixty feet of shipping ore. From
the surveys and developments made
at this time ID is estimated that the
Illinois Iron Mining company has at
least 2. 600. 900 tons Of high grade ore
In sight and many million tons OF

THE NANAIMO.

T.. f. Brown. manager of the Pew
able Mining Co.. was in town yester-
gay, and in conversation with are
preventative Of The Reporter stated
that Mr. Van Dyke Of Milwaukee and
himself had taken an option on the
Beta and Nanaimo mines, and were
now engaged In having an abstract Of
the properties made.and if the title
was found clear that they will on or
before june LIST begin pumping out the
mines.
As there is no question but the title
will be found clear we may confidently
expect TO soon hear the familiar
blowing of tine mining whistle in
that part of the town once more. With
such men as Messrs Van Dyke and
Brown pushing the enterprise we also
have every reason TO believe that it
will not be long before the Beta and
Nanaimo mines will be added to the
list OF producers.
The people of Iron River have every
reason for being thankful that these
mines have fallen into such good hands
The Nanaimo was one Of the first
mines opened in the Iron River dis
trict, and during its operations pro-
duced 1877, 500 tons of ore. Its past
failures have been due more to lack OF
capital and bad management on the
part Of those operating it than to any
deficiency in ore or any other untoward
With proper management
and capital we confidently believe that
the Nanaimo can be made good mine.

WATER STORAGE GOSSIP
Things Picked Up Yesterday In the
 ". U. A Office.

President Fowler announced yester- day that in going over the contracts of those who have signed their acre age to the Water Users association. several duplicates were found which will cut the total down again to nearly 195, GOO acres. To this, of course, will be added such contracts as may yet be received by mail.
 The office force is busy preparing a map that will show in different colored inks the large holdings by individuals or corporations. and which will have to be segregated ultimately, no doubt; also showing the acreage signed in the various portions of the irrigation dis trict, such, for instance, as the acreage under different canal systems on this side and in the various townships on the other side of the river.
 Under the Mesa, Utah, Consolidated and Highland canals there is a signed acreage of over 52. GOO. about 5000 acres under the Tempe and 10000 acres across the river southwest of Phoenix.
 J. c. Boykins. chief special agent of the interior department for the St. Louis exposition. of whom mention was made yesterday, and who is here for the purpose of securing biograp pictures, visited the Indian school yes terday, and also made some arrange ments for irrigation pictures. Another picture he will get if possible is that of a cowboy in the act of tying a steer in commendable time. If the picture is taken the time will have to be commendable for the limit of ex- posture of the biograph camera is one minute. Oscar Roberts will probably be the man chosen to pose in motion. and ii q good picture is secured it will be a great advertisement for him, for it will be shown all summer long on the canvas at St. Louis.

George A. MintZ, w. K. James and C. E. Karls returned yesterday morn ing from Yuma, where they went last week to institute q new lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The lodge was instituted Saturday af ternoon and all that night and some time subsequently, was spent in ex republication of degree work, the new lodge getting all the information pos sible out of the visitors in the time at command.
 The Phoenix men return with the highest possible words of praise for the Yuma people. Dangerous as the experiment might have been, the town was turned over to them and they managed to run it without bloodshad as long as they were there. Every business man in town had been ap- prised of their coming and given Der tillon charts for identifica ton, togeth- CT with instructions that the sheriff had orders to arrest any man that ac- cepted Phoenix money.
 Notwithstanding their coin was all bad, they had three banquets each day Cat home a Chinese restaurant is pret- ty good), and at night they had other things to eat and drink if they wanted them, while Havana cigars grew on the sagebrush everywhere. If they had to choose between going back to Yuma and some other place they would certainly return to Yuma, notwith- standing the historical prejudice agains' | the town.
