The Addie M. & M. company's mill is
still grinding away steadily on the ac-
cumulations of ore piled up ahead of
it, with apparently satisfactory results
to the management although no fig
ures on results are given to the public
Work on the mine is now limited to
sinking shaft on the Calaveras
ground, below the tunnel level. The
shaft is now below the tunnel some 60
feet, and for ten feet or more has been
in about three feet in width of high
grade ore.

Manager Stevens of the Rich Gulch
Mining Company has completed elab-
crate preparations for winter, by put
ting up snow sheds at the mouth of the
tunnel, pntting up cribs to hold the
winters output; building an addition
to the boarding house, and stocking
the premises with fuel and ample sup
plies of all kinds. He has also had a
new blacksmith shop built If the un-
expected does not occur they will have
big pile of high grade ore to haul to
the mill 10y the time the roads are open
in the spring.
Judgments amounting in the aggre-
gate to $3.50 60, together with costs,
costs, we're entered in the PROBATE
court against the Cleveland Mining
Company, in tavor of four miners who
had filed leins against the property for
wages due them. In addition to this,
attachments have been issued against
the personal property of he company
and suits brought to collect about S700
due our local merchants for supplies.
There are about 240 sacks of ore, gas
oline engine, car, some lonse rails and
lot of tools and other equipments
held under the attachments. Alto
gether the property is considered
worth much more than the amount of
all the claims against it, and its becom-
ing thus involved is attributed to a
wrangle which has broken out among
the owners, who all are supposed to
reside in Cleveland, Ohio, and who
know no more about working a mine
than monkey knows about the pro
cession of the equinoxes.

"Ihis era of prosperity, much as |
with others rejoice over it, has had its
drawbacks for my company remarked
Manager Buckbee, of the Pioneer Mines
Company "Here have been waiting
until my patience is nearly worn out,
for electrical appliances to start the
Cumberland mine and mill, but the
manufacturers are so far behind with
orders for this class of machinery that
| just have to continue to wait No
transformer and no wire in sight yet,
although the wire was shipped October
5. They promised to ship the trans
former and motor November l. 1t
seems that even so small matter as
insulator pins may cause another de-
lay. These pins are all turned out OF
rived locust and the firm in the south
which manufactures them cannot keep
up with the orders. It is just Wait,
Wait"
In the meantime Mr.. Buckbee has
kept a crew Of men busy at the mine
and mill. He has had all the poles set
and the cross arms bolted on, to con-
meet with the Swan Falls power line
running to Sinker tunnel; has con-
structed a substantial transformer
house, and has everything ready to in-
stall the long delayed appliances as
soon as they arrive.
He has also had everything put in
shipshape about the mill and shaft
house for the winter-w waterpipes bur
led to prevent their freezing, snowshed
built over the car tracks; the plans of
some of the buildings changed, etc.
