THE POTOSI.

The last dai report from the Boston
stock market gives tile price at which
Potosi stock is now selling there at
S1.5O, or 30 per cent above par. This
figure will doubtless be increased to
$500, which is justified by the present
outlook of the property. The south
drift OF No. , level is now well into the
shoot OF ore which formerly yielded so
handsomely on No. level 100 feet
higher, aud the ore is proving quite as
rich, a streak ~ inches wide in The
middle Of the vein, running better than
$3.50 per ton, and the remainder of the
vein, the full width of the drift being
pay ore averaging better than $40. Mr..
d. G. Nevins, president of the com
pany, some time ago, sold to Boston
bankers block Of IO0,0O0 shares Of
Potosi stock at par Isl per share) and
these are the shares now selling on that
market. The company is not now Of
fering to sell any of its reserve stock
and will not sell any Of it at the going
figure as it is now plentifully supplied
with money to continue developing the
property and pay for the new electric
machinery, already ordered. 1t is prob
able that by shipping the rich ore now
being taken out, money will be pro-
vided for the construction of mill,
next spring, and the sale of any more
treasury stock may not be necessary.

being started, TO be kept up until
spring when we will be certain TO hear
big reports from these mines.
The editor Of Nugget has always had
confidence in their ultimrte outcome of
South Mountain, since l8 years ago, he
spent three days iii that then abandon
ed camp in company with Mr.. john
Des Loge of Missouri, then an expert
for the Granite Mountain company OF
Montana who made at that time the
prediction that the mines
would some day turn out to be great
copper producers, though at the time
the existence of copper in them days
was not even suspected. Since then it
has been demonstrated that very rich
copper ore exists at depth.

THE BANNER.

The Banner Mining and Milling com

Banner group. last Tuesday, taking the
deeds out OF the Capital State Bank at
Boise, where they had BEEN placed in
escrow, and filing them for record here
The full amount paid for the group was
$4,000, which went in equal shares to

and Fred Crete Jr.
The crosscnt tunnel being driven to
cut the Banner ledge is now in 1,1O0
feet, and the bottom of the tunnel now
in granite. Very slow progress has of
late been made in driving this tunnel,
on account of bad air, only one shift be-

gers of quartz cut near the face OF the
tunnel indicate that but little further

to suspend work on the face Of this
tunnel and go back to where the Web
ster vein was cut and make an upraise
on that vein for air. This upraise will
be 80 feet, to where it will strike drift
from the Webster tunnel on that vein,
and will give good ventilation, SO that
men can work on the face of the tunnel
and it can be completed. This v, in on

A crew Of miners. cook and several

South Mountain, and an active cam

be continued during the winter, upon
the Sonnemann group Of patented
claims This group comprises nearly
all the mines which we're conspicuous
producers more than twenty five years
ago, when a smelter was run there, and
the camp ntained nearly one thou

the ground and organized a new com

claims in stock in his com pany aud then
made fluke of the whole thug, even
failing to keep the claims represented,
and the. greater number OF them we're
forfeited to the government, only few
of the former owners still holding on.
Then Sonnemann and Branscombe,

out of that yenture) got over to South
Mountain, relocated or otherwise aquir-
ed titles to most of the properties in

opment work, proving the great value
of the properties, and secured patents
on them eight years ago. Mr.. Brans-
combe dropped out soon afterward, and
Mr., Sonnemann continues to control
the group. He has had numbers of Of
fers for the property, all which have
been declined, he simply contenting
himself by paying caretaker, George
Rasner, to look after them and do a
little further development work up to
the present time.

fee. The inquiry was conducted un-
der the direction of DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell. The total number of
blind in the United States in 1900
was 64,76S, of whom 1896 were to.
tally blind and 29,11S partially blind.
These figures, however, the report
says, can be only considered as the
minimum, as an unknown proportion
OF the blind were not located by the
enunerators. OF the total blind, 37,O54
were males and 27,7OS females. Blind.
ness is chiefly a defect of adult life
almost 65 per cent of the blind be.
coming so after twenty years of age.
About one-tenth Of the total number
or blind was born so. The number of
blind per 1000 of population was
greater among the negroes than
among the whites and greater among
the foreign born whites than among
the native whites. In about 5 per
cent of the cases Of blindness reported
the parents of the blind were cousins.
DEAFNESS, on the whole, the report
says, is more common in the north.
ern part of the United States than in
the southern and there are more deaf
males than females. The total num-
Der OF deaf in the United States is
given as S9,2S7 of whom 37,426 were
