The new Sacramento shaft is now down 200 feet. II is working in a nice formation. From it's lowe- level when completed a drift will be driven to connection with the Lowell. In this latter work there is every reason to expect that large ore body will be opened up that will be decidedly worth having

BURLINGTON OPENS THE
FENTON-TH0MS0n CUT
Change in Service Seriously Affects
the Town of Full
ton.

The Fenton- Thomson cutoff of the
Burlington railroad was formally open
ed for traffic yesterday, says the Gin
ton Herald. and the telegraph Office of
the road has been moved from East
Clinton to Fenton. The change in serv-
ice is severe blow to the town of
Fulton. Heretofore the company ran
large number of trains, passenger and
freight, through the river town. but in
the future but two or three trains will
be operated daily through Fulton, the
bulk of the traffic going over the cut
off. from Fenton TO Thomson, elimina-
ting the steep grades around the Gar
denplain hill, and cutting off the big
curve around by Fulton Nearly all of
the railroad men will thus be obliged
10 move their families from that city.
and this exodus has already commenc-
ed, il is reported.
With one exception. all the freight
trains of the company will be run over
the new line a way freight will run
daily between Rock Island and Savan-
ma. passing through Fulton. The train
will leave Rock Island in the morning
and Savanna in the afternoon. This is
the only freight the company will run
over the old river curve. Fulton is no
no longer a division point of the Bur
lington. something it had been for
many years.
The permanent closing of the saw
mill and the practical abandonment of
the town by the Burlington company
are much deplored by the residents of
the Whiteside county town.

fore Christmas, was located today Of
ficer Dennis Mccarthy found Benson

Rock Island Pillow company. He had
been there since Monday. He explain
ed that he had nothing to do in East
Moline and came here in search of en-
ployment and got it. He had no family
in East Moline. and did not see why his
absence should occasion worry on the
part of his friends. The East Moline
marshal mad reported Benson's disap-
pearance TO the Rock Island police. He
had dropped out of sight so unceremo-
niously that there were fears he had
met with foul play. Benson has a son

Soon after Phelps-Dodge became largely interested in Old Dominion.
 there was d howl from d number of minority stockholders, who seemed to have the impression that the stock would never again be worth what it was then quoted at, about sS. In fact injunction proceedings were had to prevent the proposed merger, but today the stock is quoted at S2S with no dividend in prospect for many months to come. It has been men, toned in the papers that dividend will probably be paid some time next summer, but that is somewhat vague.
 All of which goes to show that the public has confidence in anything with which the name of Phelps Dodge is connected. Should it prove to be a fact that Phelps-Dodge are connected with the Shannon com pany, of which there has been much talk in the newspapers, it is likely that the stock of the company will go into the pictures at once, and if the New England and Clifton com pany is mixed in the same deal the stock of that company will also be

To those who are best informed, it becomes more apparent every day that the New England people are be- hind the heavy purchase of shannon stock. which was such surprise to the management of the company. Since last week about 10000 shares of stock has changed hands, and there can be no longer question but that the control of the company has passed into new hands. The ar- nual meeting of the company will occur next Monday. which will deti- nitely determine the power behind the throne. The sentiment seems to be growing in this section that Phelps-Dodgc are not in on the deal. It has been known for months past that the New England people had in contemplation the erection of extensive works, and when the break came in the shannon it is only reason able to suppose that they saw an op- portunity to secure plant already built and in operation. together with one of the best mining properties in the territory for about the original cost of the plant.

The Boston News Bureau says: Although the stock of the Arizona Copper company is practically all held in Scotland, considerable inter Est attaches to the company in this country owing to its prominence as a large producer of copper. There are good grounds for the statement that the Amalgamated Copper peO- pie have been securing secret re- ports as to this company with q view to purchasing. The stock. however, is well scattered abroad and unques tionably the Amalgamated would have to pay a large price for it.
