HANS0N'S COAL MINE
ONE OF THE LARGEST

freight agent of the N. P. Railway
drove out in company with j. D,
Hanson last week and thoroughly
examined the Hanson Coal Mine
with a view, if the mine was equal
in value and possibilities to what
was necessary of recommending the
N. P. to build track out that far.
He found the coal to be best quail
ty Of Ignite and was convinced
that the quantity was practically
unlimited, and has given Mr.. Han
son reason to believe that track
will be built next summer. He
explains that the N. P, has not
Ignite mine on its line, that is, no
direct excess to coal this side OF
Montana, and that it is necessary
to have one and the Hanson Mine
is the only one available.
The coal layer in this mine is
from s to 10 feet through and con-
tains under the quarter on rough
estimate two million tons. This
owing to the fact that the mine
has been opened by an expert en-
gineer, can every ton be removed
allowing the whole quarter to sink
8 feet. By taking out 200 tons
daily the supply would last rs
years; therefore it may be safely
said the mine is inexhaustible.
With the present crew OF fifteen
miners 60 tons are being removed
and disposed Of every day, and be-
sides supplying local demand a
carload is being shipped east every
day. The mine is not yet
thoroughly opened but it is calcu
lated its capacity can be
doubled every thirty days. There
is no question but in short time
Mr.. Hanson will be employing 500
and possibly 1000 men for the coal
is there, the quality the best, and
the demand unlimited.
1t has taken considerable cap
ital and vast amount of nerve for
one man alone to start such big
affair going but Hanson is equal
to it and will push the enterprise
to the limit.
One can realize to what magni-
tude this concern my attain.
Men will certainly buy fuel where
they can get it cheapest. Lignite
made into briquettes is the cheap
est fuel in the world as has been
proven, and it will be but a short
time until it will be used only in
the briquetted form and then the
Mississippi Valley middle west
must look to Dakota for cheap fuel.
Hold onto your land in Mclean
county. for here is the best stock,
wheat coal, and soon to be manu-
facturing country in the middle
west.
All told, Mr.. Hanson now en-
ploys 22 men; Sam Kounts is fore
man. The machinery consists of
a so horse power boiler, and a l6
horsepower holster with necessary
fixtures. Sam Locke is engineer.

A SNAKE STORY
That Makes the Blood Run
Cold.

That a tribe of Indians in New
Mexico is given to the worship OF
an enormous serpent, in which are
fed new born babies of the puebla
in which it is housed and carefully
tended is alleged in a complaint
filed by a Catholic priest with Uni
ted States District Attorney Lew
ellyn of New Mexico. Major Lew
ellyn says the priest alleged a dozen
families segregated from several
pueblas about two years ago and
formed a puebla themselves. AL
though it is known that many child
rem have been born to these fami-
lies not a child is found in the
puebla. This led the priest to
press investigations, with the re-
suit that he discovered in an abode
house, isolated and closely guard
ed, an enormous serpent, which
was worshipped by the Indians of
all the pueblas around and that
every babe born in the small pueb-
la and many others were fed to the
serpent. Major Llewellyn, having
no jurisdiction, has filed the afida-
Wit of the priest and other evidence
with the territorial authorities. -
Ell Paso News.
This sounds like a snake story
to us, and the priest must have
been grazing on a vintage that
has disturbed his equilibrium.
w neither he has snakes is not at
issue, but they may be in his boots.

Such Is The Opinion Of Foreman Of The
 Property
Two Ore Bodies. Four Feet Thick. Have
 Been 0psned
(From Saturdays Daily.)

"It is cinch that the Shylock mine will be among the big producers of the county before the end of the present year." said M J. Enrignt, mine fore man of that property, to Journal. Miner representative, last evening.
 "l, is now scarcely three months since the Arizona Central Copper com pany started 10 build new gallus frame, and now the shaft is enlarged and rctimbered to a depth of 210 feet, n station is finished at the ls0.foot level, and two ore bodies, four feet in thickness, have been opened.
 "Thc entire bottom of the shaft is in high grade black sulphide ore, richer than the body opened in cutting the station at the IsOfoot level, which is also four feet in thickness. Work of sinking K being cncrgcticnlly pushed, and drifts have been started from the new station along the vein, which runs northcrly and southcrly, dipping at m angle of about 62 degrees to the east. The ledge is in n porphyry and schist contact. Every miner in the mine is working in ore and the force will be increased as fast as room is made for the economical employment of addi. tional underground workmcn.
 "Four new residences nave been built and furnished for the accommoda. ton of the men employed, and the camp is now as desirable as any in the county from the standpoint of com. fort to the men employed"
 The company's holdings, consisting of eleven claims, are located on the western slope of the Black Hills range, about seven miles by wagon road north of Dewey, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad
 Mir. Enright is n miner of many years experience, and is thoroughly couvcrsant with nll the practical de tails of the business.
 He served as superintendent of the Gladstone mine for three years, and also had charge of large under. ground operations for other concerns in this Territory and other states.
 He will return to the Shyiock camp, Sunday, after transaeting some impor. tant mining business here.

Hull And Cleopatra Companies Are
 Busy
Jerome And The Verde Districts Are
 Active
(Trom 0ssuxday's Dsily.)

C. w Hull, president and general manager of the Hull Copper company, left yesterday afternoon for Jerome, where his concern is conducting oper. ations. In conversation with a Jour. nal. Miner man, he said: Work is being rushed on the Dillon tunnel, which IS now Tn a distance of $500 Pfeot. The ss shaft has been cleaned out and the drift from tho i50 foot level is being pushed 10 connect with the tunnel. Connections will be male in the next LOO feet. In the drift from the Ss shaft the ore body shows \ thickness of four feet, good DOT. ton of which is high grade sulphde ore
 "Threc lodges and five stratas have been opened in the Dillon tunnel, all carrying high grade sulpnide ores. Drifts have been run on these from the tunnel, showing the orc bodies to be continouous.
 At q distance of about l,230 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, n cross. cut k being run ."'o inc property of the Cleopatra Copper company. The crosscut is now in 250 feet and the entire face of 1t is in high grade cop. per ore. The Cleopatra ground lies immediately south of and adjoining the United Verde Copper company's mines.
 Generally speaking" said Mir. Hull. "Jcromc and the Verde distric, were never more prosperous thu, ot present. Several of the companies on the outside have made promising strikes during the past few months, anj within the past six months at least six large concerns have installed costly boisting and other machinery and commenced heavy operations. The United Verde is adding another new furnace to it's smcltcrs and good pro gress is being made m running the lower tunnel which will tap the mine at "A depth of nt least LOGO feet"
 Mir. Hull also stated that 1t was his intention to resume work on group of mining claims owncI by him near Huron, in very short time.
