NEW MACHINERY E FOR WESTERN QUEEN
 MINING C0.
Equipment to Be Used to Fur ther Develop Mine-Big
 Vein of Ore.

In the conduct of mining operations in this county in recent years the yaiue and importance of crosscutting the vein was perhaps never better demon strated than in the properties of the Western Queen Mines company on Turkey creek, where more than twen- ty years ago a double compartment working shaft was sunk along the hanging wall of a vein to a depth of oyer 300. when the property was aban- doned without running a crosscut to the footwall, which was lately found to be only about 25 feet distant, and along which exists paystreak ranging in thickness from 6 inches to feet, some of which carries values h silver as high as i,40e ounces ta the ton, the average value of the entire deposit be- ing lately proved to be about $10 per ton in silver, copper and gold values.
 About six weeks ago John Mckenzie, the superintendent of the company's mines, followed this shaft down to water iesei. which was then 50 feet. A thorough investigation of the ground showed that no crosscut had ever been run towards the footwall. upon which he concluded from surface in- yestigations the most valuable of the ore in the mine would be found.
 Starting crosscut from a point where a cave had occurred in the shaft he continued his course toward the fooiwall, where after running dis tance of about 25 feet from the shaft he encountered an eight inch streak of ore of very high value. Following the wall for some distance, the pay shoot widened out to 3 feet. later mar rowing some, but showing strong and s continuous as far as the work was continued on it.
 Ks result of this valuable discoy- cry, plans were at once discussed by the management for the equipment of sAe shaft with a pump and hoisting iant, and this being agreed upon, MT. 3eKenzie yesterday visited the city md completed :he purchase of 60 h.
