c. g. p. BRIGGS SHAFT.

At Buggs shaft sinking is going ahead steadily. The progress being made is considered highly satisfactory in view of the difficulties presented by the inflow of water. Thi; now amounts 10 about 2.OOO gallons a minute. The pumps are handling It with ease The amount reflects considerable aid giv- en by Junction pumps. being materially less than prevailed previous 10 -GS t.me the Junction commenced taking cut the stream Of water it is now handling. That there would be such reduction was the expectation when Briggs shaft sinking was stopped pend
 ing the installation of Junction pumps and the reaching by that shaft of lhe water basin. That this expectation has been fulfilled is highly gratifying m more ways than one, for the fact not only relieves Briggs shaft of the handling of some of it's water, but also demonstrates that the theory of open underground country between (
 & P. and Junction is correct, which
 carries it's due portion of encourage
 ment 70 the attendant theory that the ores of C. & P. reach into Junction ground. Briggs shaft is now nearing the HOO foot level. When it arrives
 there sinking will be suspended, while
 a station IS cut. From the HOO leye drifting is to be done, and it IS the be lief of those familiar with the ground that it will be attended by the making of a mine before it has gone very far The drift from the HOO should con nect with the ere bodies in the drifts fro mthe 500 ard 1000 levels, and this it is believed there is practically nc
 doubt will be done.

LAKE SUPERIOR 6 PITTssURe.

There has been nothing new of i'm portance underground at the l.. s. X P. during the last week. They are working away there preparing as rap idly as possible for the start on the long life of production that the ore opened in the ground assures that the property will have. On the surface the improvements are being crowded as rapidly as possible and are fast nearing completion. In a few weeks they will be finished. The ore bins and chutes at this property at the Cole shaft, which will deliver both the l.. s. & P and the F. & D. produc- tion will have about six cars ore ca pacity. This can be stretched to the good a little bit at any time of need while there is room left for extension of the storage capacity to be made at any time that it is deemed to be deslr able.

PAITIsoN PROPERTIES.

Superintendent Patcis0n of the Shat tuck 6e Arizona and the Denn-Arlzona returned on Friday from the coast, and is again actively in harness at the properties. In his absence work went ahead steadily on the lines that had been followed. and very satisfacto IT progress is reported. At neither of the properties was there anything new of importance developed during the week. At the Shattuck the out look continues to improve steadily. The ore that has been opened there in drift and shaft is considered sufficient
 to warrant mine, and is continuing

Underground at Pittsburg & Duluth they are carrying on the making Of their upraises vigorously and getting everything in readiness for the stead! production that is now at hand. Tn diamond drill is continuing its eXplor- ato-y work What results are attend ing this work is not stated, but it is likely that there will be something out in this regard before very long. The .ast report made from the diamond drill work will be recalled as very pleasant message, telling of the dis covery of an important ore body. Though there is nothing known to the public as to results attending more re- cent work t is the confident belief that the next announcement will be even more agreeable than it's predeces- s0r.

HOATSON SHAFT.

At Hoatson shaft of the C. & P. they are making very satisfactory hcadway with the work of sinking. The record made since operations were comme2c- ed, delays occasioned by trouble in getting all the surface equipment up just as speedily as had been expected, has been a high class one. The shaft is now down something over 300 feet. As yet there has been no material change in formation, nor is this expect ed for some little time Since the equipment with which operations are now being carried on has been Iu place the work at the shaft nas moved with celerity and without a hitch.

 JUNCTION DEVELOPMENT.
 Drifting on the 900 foot level of the Junction now promises to usher the development company into the mining company state with remarkably agree able ore accompaniments If the dump is criterion by which judgment may be formed ,and it is most certain ly in this case, the drift is travelling in a very rich body of ore. While the work has not progressed far enough tc demonstrate to a certainty that the making of a mine is assured by the discovery that IS in hand, the outloot is highly promising to say the least The work is going ahead just as rap idly in the drift as circumstances vii permit. The intense heat thrown of by the steam pipes and pumps, ana hich has made wori, underground a the shaft slow and d.fficult during tht last several weeks. has rot yet becl overcome.

The scarab.

Among the Egyptians scarabs were

these little beetles symbollzed god

habits, such as pushing together little
pieces Of mud with their hind legs. By
constant turning round shape is as
sumed. thus forming little round balls
Of earth. They refer TO this similarity
in the operations Of the sun and thus
look upon the insect as god. Hence
these insects were regarded as fitting
guardian spirits. Az the Egyptians
did not give form TO their deities, they
fashioned these symbols having occult
meanings The scarab symbollzes gen.

gendered by a father only. II is sym

Two of the men in the tent were
killed by the bolt and four others
were disabled. The lightning, in fact,
caused as much commotion in camp as
an attack by the enemy, and there
were all sorts of rumors as to the
sensations of those who recovered
from the shock. The question of in
