DESIGNED BY COOPER

Seventy-fve years ago on August 2S the
first passengers were moved by steam on
the American continent. The locomotive
was the first built on this side of the At
lantic. This was not the first locomotive
seen here. but it was the first to accom-
plish anything. The year before the first
English locomotive reached here aboard
the sailing ship John Jay. 1t was pur-
chased by the Delaware and Hudson canal
company for their mines at Carbonate.
The canal people were coal miners before

CALUMET & PITTssURo.

Sinking is rapidly going on at the Briggs shaft of the '. & P. and the work is closely approaching the llO0- foot mark Men working in the mine say that during the week the torma- tion in the bottom of the shaft has changed considerably and that iron is beginning to show in increased quan- tity. Some of the men say that it looks very much as if the shaft was approaching a body of ore.
 The Hoatson shaft is now down about 300 feet and the formation is improving with every foot of sinking. The ground. as told by the dump is getti2g highly mineralized and iron is showing heavily. In fact the materl- al that has come out of the shaft dur ing the past week speaks much for the future of the property and while not the least idea is entertained that any ore is close at hand, the indications are such that ore will be caught al a comparatively less distance than was the case in some of the other Bonanza mines. The power plant and buildings are about completed ai the shaft and new oil tanks will be shortly installed.

MITCHELL DEVELOPMENT.

No further word has heen heard from Michigan headquarters of the Mitchell Development than that had about the middle of the week, which brought the news that the Mitchell was positively down and out. Even Mr. Bateman has not been heard from with a reorganization plan. though something of this sort from the versa tile gentleman is expected before the corpse of the Mitchell really gets cold. Tn connection with mention of Mitchell attention may be called to the fact that quite enormously sever al of the Michigan papers insist upon connecting the property with Bisbee, by inference at least The Mitchell IS in the Huachucas and not at all near Bisbee" as the Michigan papers
 insist upon having it. As a mining proposition the HuachuCas and Bisbee are horses dI a very different color. The Huachucas may some day come out with colors flying and make a camp as big as Blsbee, as some are prone to believe, but they have a great deal of hard ground to get over firsl.
