comply with the law. Most peope supposed the mine was patented and others noting the recording of affi- davits of annual work, paid no special attention assuming that the title was good. There are a dozen men, says MT. Sanders who would have jumped the property long ago had they known the facts.
 Charles l.. Kinsley was for a lory time foreman of the mine under tne elder Sanders and he would have jumped the property long ago, only that he thought a great deal of Mr. Sanders and did not wish to do any thing that would complicate matters for him. After the death of MT. Sam ders MT. Kinsley did locate the prop erty and George E. Sanders signed the notices as witness, being we'll inform ed as to the facts in the case. He then told Kinsley that the Vulture Develop ment Go. would buy the mine of him if 1t stood a proper examination and he had no doubt that it would. That is the way the matter stands now, except that the examination is in progress and MT. Sanders says it has gone far en- ough so he feels safe in announcing that it will be entirely satisfactory Respecting the claims of Kinsley MT. Sanders says he cannot fail to es- tablish his title in the courts. The stories that have been printed about MT. Sanders casting a shadow on the reputation of his father who filed the affidavit of work done. for the New Vulture Co.,. he denounces as both un- just and ridiculous. He says that no effort will be made to discredit the af- fdavit. It is in fact one of the best proofs of Kinsley's claim. It tells how much work was done and the amount is far below that necessary by | law for the number of claims the conl- pany was holding. He says his fathers | affidavit is correct and he is willing to uphold it, but that it does not go far enough to answer the purpose. of the old company which refused to spend enough money to comply with the law, depending on it's tax titles and the set clement of old claims against the prop erty, for it's tit,e to the ground. But Mir. Sanders says that does not concern him as he is under contract to buy from Kinsler when the title is established. and meantime he is having the mine exported so he can buy when the time i comes.
 After the jumping, the New Vulture Mining Go. brought suit to quiet tit,e and enjoin Kinsley and Sanders, it was generally understood, from developing the mine. That was an erroneous re- port for the injunction only restrained them from the use of the water and from operating the particular places the plaintiffs had been working. Kins- | ley and Sanders have never left the property and Kinsley told O'Neill, who was placed in charge of the New Vul- ture Co.'s personal property that he might stay there, look after the com pany's stock and personal property and lthere would be no trouble between | them. And there has been none.
 Meantime the Vulture Development company has claims, adjoining the old Vulture on the north, that are presum- ably just as good, and they propose to sink new working shaft there at a point indicated by Engineer Parish. They can proceed to work their ground without delay while the courts ar. wrestling with the Vulture titles. This shaft is to be vertical one, all the old workings having been incline shafts. It is proposed to sink it at least 1000 feet l anu dS NutlG dIC luIltIOuS lodges, all running on an incline, the shaft is likely to reveal many inter- esting things, crosscutting many lodges in the course of the sinking. When
 the titles to the Vulture have been set tied and it passes to the hands of the
 Vulture Development Co. it is propos- ed to work the old mine by drifting
 from the new shaft, south under the old IrtsrN ,slyfr,
 phide and rich while the ore left in the upper workings of the old levels only runs from four to eight dollars
 per ton. It is the purpose eventually to work these upper ores by mixing | them with the richer ores from below
 Another move will be made as a time saver. The injunction does not pro- hibit them from working the old shafts
 that have not been operated for years and they propose as soon as possible to equip the deepest one with a neyy hoist and continue sinking to develop a water supply. They do not need the
 water now except the little required
 for camp purposes but as soon as they
 come into possession of the property they will want to begin working the 25O,0O0 tons of tailings on which q
 profit Of from s1 to S1.5O per ton can be made. The new shaft will be of three compartments and it's sinking will
 commence next week with three shifts of men. MT. Sanders says that by the 10th of August he expects to have fifty
 men employed in the camp. The De- velopment Co. also proposes to work the Angel mine at the same time The
 company now has 65 claims, the cream
