but when questioned as to its locality, he was as dumb as an oyster. T e fact that he contemplates placing an order for several more machines shows his confidence in the country. The dry washer is not a new invention. It has been used with success along the Col orado and in other sections for many years, but this is the first time it has ever been tested in this section, though the placers in years past produced large quantities of gold.
 Practically there hos been no change in the new coal field during the rast week. All available ground has been located, but TO development work fa7 been done, hence up to the present time the body of cc-l discovered is purely speculative. Individual owners will wait until the D. c. company opens up their property. The A. C. company is not interested as yet. though a num- Der of employees of the company have claims. There is no quest'ol that the coal Is good and many who are wei informed on the subject are strongly of the opinion that it will be found in large bodies when a suff1Ciant amount of deve!t ~.mcnt work has been done.
 J. non Copper company, who arrived in Clifton two weeks ago to look over the company's property. left Tues az morning fer his home i1 Boston. He gave the shannon mine a careful in spection and was not only well pleased with the property, but was al-o mos. com Hlimentary to the mine mana ge- ment. He considers the mine a mcdef in every respect and has greater con fidence in the property than ever before. Mir. HaZen is one of the original Shan non crowd who has refused to sell h S shares at any price. While here MT. Hezen visited the Standard mires and was greatly pleased with the larz Q amount of rich ore now in sight in the mine.
 An accident occurred to the Stan'ar I tramwav Friday last which caused it to be shut down for several days for repairs. Manager ,ROsecrans concluded | that mhile the tramway was out of com mission it would be good time to put in the new cage, hence the hoisting e. zine was stopped and the cage is now 1 heinz installed. As no ore could be hoisted number of miners and tram mcrs were laid off for a few days ! WHICH OOuDlleSS gave IISe lO llit Eu- nor that the mine had shut down. The new cage will be in operation in a few days, which will greatly facilitate and ! also cheapen the cost of handling the ! ore. Work was commenced this morn | ing sorting the dumps Of third grade | ore. which can now be shipped at a proft over the new tramw9y. liner are 1 several thousand tons Of this ore on the | dump which will average between five ] and six per cent, which will be in- l creased in value by sorting. II is eX- pected that daily shipments will by
 made of this ore until the cage is run
 ming and after that date they will b,
 continued as fast as they can be con-
 veniently handled. During the D s
 two months but few high grade snip
 ments have been made from the mine for the reason, as stated by Mir. Rose
 crans, that the ore from the north side
 could be handled more cheaply aftel the installation of the new cage anC larger cars. MT. Rosecrans has a large
 amount of first class ore stripped in tn stooes and ready to knock down. Fl
 expects to make three shipments O
 first class. sixty tons each, during tn
 month. A larger tonnage of low gra@'
 ore is being produced than formerly
 but the percentage is lower, as the or
 is now shipped as it comes from tn
 mine.
