Eureka, Aug. 2.-There has been
nothing doing at the Centennial Eureka
mine since Sunday. and as conse-
quence the weeks shipments from the
district are light. There has been a few
men at work on top repairing the big
engine which has been in use contin-
uously for 10 years, and this is the first
time that extensive repairs have been
necessary. The engine viii be in shape
so that the usual force cam go to work
within another hay or two.
AT the present time eight men are at
work building wagon road to the
location of the proposed shaft on the
property of the Yuma Mining company,
In east Tintic. The claims joins the
Crown Point and Iron King companies
ground. The Yuma company was or
ganized last week for the develop
ment of these claims. The company has
has purchased the shaft house of the
Klondyke mine near silver City. and
this building which Is nearly new Will
be taken in parts and moved TO the
Yuma. 1t Is quite probable that the
Yuma will procure electrical power
from the Telluride company to operate
It's machinery.
George A. Udall of this city, one of

solidated Mining Co., states that his

arguments for a new trial in the case
and decided that the defendant is en-
titled to q new trial. 1t win be re-
membered that Hartman secured a

123.I7 with costs. After hearing the ar
guments Judge Richie stated that he
would cut the judgment down to $500.
and If that amount would not be ac-
cepted by the plaintiff then he would
grant the defendant new trial.
Il. j. Raddatz of Salt Lake was out
in East Tintic this week and visited
