Pitsburg and Mesksr Properties.

These mines are operated by the Cash
ie G. M. &. M. Company under the man.
agement of VIM. Anger. Three shifts Of
men are at work sinking the shaft from
the 7OO.foot station and will go until the
800 foot mark is reached. Here it might
be interesting to note that very unique
arrangement has been made whereby
the water can be handled without the
use OF pump. The water is all led into
dam in the 700.foot level and four
inch pipe is run to the shaft and let drain
into the bucket, which is new one Of
1873 gallon capacity, and then hosted to
the surface. The drain can be operated
at will and over 13, 900 gallons is hosted
every twenty four hours. This keeps
the shaft men from being hindered in
their operations of sinking. A nice crev.
ice of mill dirt is followed in the shaft,
and shipments were this week made to
the Buell. mill in Central, although no
returns have been received as yet. 1t is
thought at it will run good though.
Tresidder and Co. have the contract for
the sinking OF the shaft. Besides the
above other parts of the mine are being
worked as usual, although they are ham,
pered little by the sinking process.
Good ore is steadily being taken out that
runs in different grades. The first grade
usually runs from 800 to 5000, to the
ton the second, s75 to 800, the third from
800 to S25 to the ton. The new shaft house
has been completed on the Meeker shaft,
just east of the Pittsburg and good
plant of machinery is In good running
order there. A steam pipe line has been
run between these places which enables
them to receive steam from each boiler,
thus allowing them to do repairs on either
one without hindering the operation of
any Of the mines. The shaft is down a
depth OF about 80 feet now and it will
be continued until the 300 foot is reached
This will connect with the 30O-foot level
Of the PIttsburg, thus making good
supply of the best air. The meeker is
about 40 feet higher up and is straight
shaft, while the Pittsburg is an incline,
but the 40 feet difference is made up on
the former on account of gaining depth
quicker than the latter mine.

The Democratic Ticket

Pursuant to the call of the chairman
OF tne Democratic city central committee
q convention Of the Democrats was held
IN the county court house last Saturday
evening. AS the apportionment Of dele.
gates from each ward had been limited
TO four, almost a complete delegation
was present. The object of the conven-
ton, OF course, was to name ticket. to
be voted upon in the city election. After
capvassing the situation thoroughly it
was decided that no better men could be-
nominated for the respective city office
than those who had been selected by the
independent voters for Citizens ticket,
several OF whom are Democrats. These
were therefore endorsed by the conven.
ton. The Democratic ticket is composed
OF the following gentlemen:
Mayor, james A. Gilmour; alderman
1st ward, Charles o. Richards; alderman
End ward, Neil Mckay; alderman, Sd
ward, Henry Gilman; alderman 4th ward,
Ernest Carter.
Marcus Leahy, was re elected chair.
man OF the city central committee and
Henry Gilman, re elected secretary. The
appointing of the central committee was
left with the chairman, he to act in &C.
cordance with the desires of the several
candidates on the ticket.

Saratoga Output viii Be Increased.

The Saratoga mine will have regained
it's full shipping capacity in about two
weeks more, says the Idaho Springs
Gazette. While steady output is now
maintained, the larger part OF the force
in the mine has been employed in get
ting the levels slopes, etc. An upraise
from the sixth to the fourth level has
been in progress and will be completed
in ten days. The supply Of water for
the steam plant has thus far been hauled
by wagon at considerable cost and incon-
venience. To remedy this the manage.
ment has erected a hoisting plant on the
Waltham shaft and laid line OF pipe to
the tank at the Saratoga, and an ample
supply is assured from that source.
Two air drills were put in commission
this week, one in the upraise which has
yet to be driven about 10 feet, the other
seventh level also is in coalition for force
OF men to work on ore. Below that level
the accumulation of foul air has rendered
work exceedingly difficult and it is prob
able that little effort will be made to re-
open the levels until the upraise from the
Newhouse tunnel is made and proper
ventilation secured. The upraise from
the tunnel will be started at once and
the entire attention of the force in the
tunnel given to the accomplishment of
this work in the least possible time.
The interval to be broken through is 300
feet. 1t will take about three months to
accomplish the work. The shaft is prac.
tically dry, SO that there is no menace Of
water there to interfere with the best
efforts Of the workmen.
Under the direction OF Mr.. H. I. Rogers
secretary and treasurer OF the company,
the work has been pushed rapidly and
the operation of the mine for production
at its best capacity will be started upon
the return OF Manager Owen the latter
part Of the month.

hand stoping will be commenced in the

COURT CONTINUED
BACKWARDNESS OF FARM WORK IS
CAUSE OF DELAY
Petition for Continuance Signed by Large
Number of Citizens and
Court Officers.

Judge Boothe yesterday pretermit-
ted the spring term of court. This
action was the result of largely
signed petition and personal letters
sent him by officers Of the court and
members of the bar.
On account of continued bad wealth
er and the backwardness in farm work
a two-weeks' term of court would
have worked hardship on many
farmers who have not planted their
crops, especially if the weather is
good, hence the action of the court
Judge Boothe could not at present
fix the time when the pretermitted
term will be held, but will do so at an
early date.

LAKE VIEW TRACTION COMPANY
Promoters Say Line Will be Built in Near
Future.

Railroad talk is not always reliable,
but to people living along the pro-
posed line of a new railway it is al
ways interesting. Citizens of the
northwestern part of the county will
therefore be interested in the follow
ing from the Clarksdale Register of
last week:
"It is stated that the Lake View
Traction Company, organized under
the laws of Tennessee for the purpose
of building an electric railway from
Memphis to Clarksdale, will also ap-
ply for articles of Incorporation under
the laws of Mississippi, capitalized at
$500, 900. Among the Memphis pro-
moters are r. F. Tate, G. w. Agee,
Anthony Walsh, H. E, Craft, w. A.
Percy, and there are associating with
them a number of prominent Missis-
sippi capitalists. Capital stock sub
scriptions are to be paid in quarterly
form as work processes on the road,
and good portion of the right-of-way
has been secured.
"Mr. III. E. Craft is in the city to-
day Thursday for the purpose of
discussing some business matters con-
nected with the line. He assured a
Register reporter that the line would
be established and that they would
be established and that they would
begin constructing it as soon as some
minor matters could be adjusted salts

 Twin Buttes R. R. to Galabasas.

Though there were no committee reports submitted at Tuesday nights meeting of the Board eff Trade Direc- tors, Mr. Bracey Curtis, of the Rail road committee, who had just returned from of visit to Phoenix. told of a con- versation he had with Mir. David Rose of tho Twin Buttes Company that ws.s somewhat interesting. Mr. Rose told Mir. Curtis that he con- templated extending the Twin Buttes railroad to .Calabasas. The Twin Buttes road was constructed by the company with which Mir. Rose is con- nected, and runs from Tucson south to Twin Buttes, distance of twenty eight miles. From Twin Buttes to Calabasas is thirtyfour miles. At Calabasas the Twin 3uttes road would then connect with the Southern Pacific road, making an almost direct north and south route from Nogales to Tucson and cutting almost in two the distance now necessary to travel. Reports of the probable extension of the Twin Buttes road to Gala basas have been numerous during the past year or more, but the reports hereto fore in circulation were not known to eminate from anyone connected with the road in question.
 Most of the time Tuesday night was devoted to the discussion of town tax collections Messrs. Frank J. Duffy and w. A. O'Connor attended the meeting on behalf of the Nogales town council and submitted a copy of a proposed bill bearing on the collect ion of delinquent town taxes.
