OF PEWAB|C
Grasshopper Mine Produces
Ore Worth Nearly 5000
a Cord-Mines Ship
ping Steadily.

Last week the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Pewabic Consoli-
dated Gold Mines company was held in
this city. Officers for the ensuing year
were elected as follows: President,
treasurer and general manager, j. C.
Fleschhutz; vice-president, d. N. Har-
per; j. F. Mcfarland, C. T. Austin, J.
M. Seright. These form the board of
directors, with w. A. Funk as secre-
tary.
The mines of the Pewabic company
are located in Russell Gulch and are
numbered among the very best in the
county. Work on the properties has
been progressing right along. Until
the first of the year sinking had been
prosecuted in the Pewabic and Iron
shafts. In January sinking was stop
ped on account of water. Drains have
been put in at the 6OO-foot levels and it
is now possible to handle the water as
the seepage has stopped. Sinking will
be continued and the work will be let to
contract, although some delay in get
ting started may be occasioned through
the shortage of coal. Both the Iron
and Pewabic shafts are down 700 feet
and the intention is to sink each to a
depth of 1900 feet. Drifting will then
be started and ore blocked out.
A steady output of ore from the Iron,
Richardson and Grasshopper veins con-
tinues. The Grasshopper is being
worked through the Iron shaft and the
ore coming from this mine is indeed
rich. The first shipment made from
the 300-foot level in the Grasshopper
went 1881. 90 to the cord and the second
cord shipped, taken from the 4O0-foot
level contained values Of $4,000. The
streak in the 5O0-foot level looks equally
as good as that in the 300 and 400.
The New York mill in Black Hawk,
which is operated by the Pewabic COM
pany, is kept constantly busy and is
worked to its capacity almost on COM
pany ore, although some custom ore at
times Is handled.

BIG PROPERTY
READY TO SINK
Colorado-Carr Mine and Ran
dolph Mill Soon to be the
Scene of Enlivened
Activity.

F. H. Symonds, of the Santa Lorita
Mining & Milling company, was an ar
rival Monday from Boston. About the
10th of this month Mr.. Symonds' COM
pany decided to resume operations on
the Colorado-Carr mine and have since
been getting the property in shape for
extensive and continuous development.
The first work to be done will be the
sinking of the shaft 200 additional feet
and the opening up of the mine properly
before any attempt at a heavy output
of ore will be made. The shaft is now
97S feet deep and when the 200 feet in
depth is add, there will be any amount
of good ground to be worked.
The object of the company is, when
the mine is in shape for the outputting
of ore, to get a good production ahead
before starting the old Randolph mill
below Black Hawk. This mill is in
the possession of the Santa Lorita COM
pany and the transporting of ore to it
from the Colorado Carr mine is done
over an aerial tram. No expense to
speak of is entailed in transporting the
ore by this system, which means large
saving of money.
The general average of the values of
the ore in the Colorado-Carr is about
$4,000 ton, although shoots and pock-
cts have been opened up, containing
ore that rsr up into the hundreds. The
ore carries pretty heavy copper values,
averaging about 10 per cent.
The company intends shortly to re-
place the compressor on the Carr with a
larger one, taking the small one to the
Hillhouse, another property which is
being worked by the Santa Lorita peo-
pie. This last named mine is located in
the Russell district and is keeping up
a steady production Of high-class ore.

are being driven, one in the 100-foot
level, one in the 150-foot level and one
in the 245-foot level. This is rather
slow work with hand steel, but when
the pipe line is finished and the air is
run from the Iron Duke mine much
more headway will be made.
Besides the above claims the COM
pany is interested in the Wellington
No. 6 lateral that is being run in the
Newhouse tunnel. This lateral will
drain their claims and sometime in the
future connection will be made with the
same. Many men are being employed
on construction work and digging tren-
ches for the laying of different pipe
lines and after everything is completed
the different properties will require
more men to continue the development
work that is contemplated.
In the field above the Iron Duke mine
well is being sunk and pump is be-
ing placed in the same. This will en-
able the company to pipe good water to
the various mines for boiler use and
also for drinking purposes, the water
being very pure. The Office of the
company will be put in the building er-
ected between the Iron Duke and the
Clifton Bell mines. This building is a
modern structure, having about six
rooms, which will make it possible for
the officers of the company to reside
close to their work and keep in touch
with everything that is going on.
The King Bee Mining company is
mostly composed of shrewd capitalists
from the southern states, who have
worked years to acquire this group,
which consists of 27 distinct claims and
comprises plot of ground 34OO feet
running east and west and 1900 north
and south. The properties are under
good management, A. H. Heller being
the superintendent, who is looking after
the workings of the different claims
personally.

A New Official.

Following the established plan of consolidation of the various Southern Pacific lines under identical department management, the appointment was announced Tuesday of this week of c. F. Jackson as assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Cana nea, Yaqui River X Pacific lines, under M. 0. Bicknell, with head quarters at Guaymas, Sonora. Jackson has heretofore held simi- lar position upon the Sonora railway and this appointment brings the traffic departments of of the two roads under one head.
 The passenger traffic upon the new lines out of Guaymas IS sur prisingly large. The roads traverse a well-settled country the natives of which are complete strangers to the ways of civilization. It is said that the "paisanos" ride for the pure delight of the thing, and the favorite sport of that section of mahana land consists in boarding a train, riding as far as the money will go and then walking back again. Needless to say, though this isn't just the kind of traffic railroads are constructed for, the passenger department is quite willing to encourage the game.
