}. /. Stuart returned Sunday from
Maiden where he went for the pur
pose of looking after the property
The option which the Globe Ma.
pany The Maginns mill has been
closed down for several weeks and
the prospects are not very bright
tor a resumption Of operations of
the property
The option which the Globe -Magin-
mis- company had on the property ex-
plres the lSth Of this month and the
Conrad Stanford company who own
the property, will once more take
charge.
The operations by the Globe-Ma-
ginnis were by no means satisfactory,
They fixed up the mill and did CON
siderable work in the mine, several
hundred tons Of rich ore having been
taken out, part Of which was ship
ped and the remainder worked in the
mil. The clean-ups hardly paid for
operating the property and financial
difficulties resulted
The Conrad Stanford company will
not likely permit the mine to lie
uneNplored Tor any great length of
time The property will likely be
leased, sold or operated by the ow-
ners. M ming men believe that the
famous old producer is yet fine
property il properly managed 1t has
been considerably "gophered" in the
hopes of striking another phcnon1in-
ally rich pockets such as made it
famous years ago, but that sort of
work will hardly pay.
Cumberland's Future.
There is rife considerable specula-
tion as to what will be done by the
owners Of the Cumberland mine in
the Cone Butte district this summer.
The Cumberland is considered one of
the biggest propositions in the Judith
mountains and something definite is
certain to be done soon toward the
further development of the proper
ty. Pete Rosseau has been working
faithfully on the claim for years and
had accomplished a great deal of
splendid work. Among other things,
there Is shaft down close to ESQ.,
teet. Several shipments of ore have
)een made with very satisfactory re-
suits, There is now said to be $25,-
)oo worth of ore on the dump and |
What development work that has been
lone has opened up thousands Of |
ons of extremely high grade ore.
No more work can be done, how
r, until a steam hoist and other ma
,hinery is placed on the ground. Be. !
ide Pete Rosseau, Frank Stephens
'wns a big interest in the property
md several officials Of the Milwaukee
abroad company also have stock in
he company.
The Democrat Is informed that
omething of definite nature will
'e done the present summer If the
resent owners maintain control, a
Mill will be erected and the mine
quipped with machinery necessary to
ct out and treat the fine ore.
Working On Sunrise.
A force of five men are at work on
he Sunrise group OF claims in the
laden district and the showing is
uch as to greatly encourage the ow-
ers OF that ground A fine body OF
re which assays pretty high is be-
lg opened up and it is but matter
/ short while before the boys will
ave enough ore in sight to justify
he erection OF mill for treating this
re. There are number of Lewis
own men interested in this COM
any and they are highly pleased

North Moccasin Growing.
1t has now been demonstrated be-
ond question of doubt that the
'orth Moccasin Mining company has
