only always accord the singers genu-
inc reception but hopes to hear from
them again in the no distant future.

AN OUTSIDE OPINION

New York, Aug. lit is believed
here, = writes a correspondent from Salt
Lake City, that the Bluestone mine at
Yerington, New, will be brought into
the Heinze fold Although the exami-
nation being conducted by the staff of
experts in the employ of the Montanan
has not been entirely completed, in
formation comes from reliable source
to the effect that the final report will be
favorable Indicative of this is an un-
confirmed rumor to the effect that over
lures have been made to the Nevada
Douglas Copper company to name a
price on its holdings just over the sum
init Of the West Walker range of noun
tains from the Bluestone. While the
Bluestone is big mine, the Nevada
Douglas is looked upon by many as
being larger one, and for that reason
Mr.. Heinze would like to own it and
bring it into coalition But the Nevada
Douglass people are strong enough to
carry out their own plans, and the
opinion prevails here that it would take
considerable more than the price at
which the stock is selling for on the
market to induce them to part with their
holdings

MASON VALLEY COPPER

The Salt Lake Tribune says: 1t is
good news that Lew HUMPHREYS, con-
sulting engineer of the Mason Valley
Company, brings from Yerington. Mr..
HUMPHREYS stated that the company had
installed magnificent plant of machin-
cry, and that the contracts for the power
with which to run the same had already
been let. He is of the opinion that this
power will be available by September l,
and then from that date on the manage
ment will be able to make that degree
of activity that every working in this
noted Yerington mine demands. Mr..
HUMPHREYS stated that with the new
equipment the company will be able to
do character of work that will make its
past efforts extremely abortive in COM
parison.
The Mason Valley ore body, he
states, still continues strong as work
progresses upon it, and no one as yet
the real extent of this resource He ex-
pressed himself more than pleased with
conditions as he found them. conditions
increasing that respect for the property
that he has harbored during his term as

BELIEVE THEY HAVE FOUND THE LOST
CABIN Mine

Has the Lost Cabin mine been found?
A. Warwick, c. c. Young and Ben
Webster of this place state that they
have every reason to believe they have
located the property for which men
have been searching for years.
During recent prospecting trip, the
party was camping on the top of high
mountain in the vicinity of Mount Grant.
Far in the distance they saw the faint
outlines of what appeared to be a cabin.
Familiar with the story of the Lost
Cabin mine, they made for the object
and there sure enough was a cabin
which had all but fallen to decay. Fur
Their investigation disclosed rather ex-
tensive workings in the shape of one
long tunnel and several shafts which
had been sunk to various depths.
On the property was found ledge
several feet in width. In the tunnel
stringer was evidently lbeing followed
when work was abandoned. Some SAM
pies were taken from this stringer as
we'll as from the ledge. Assays made
from the same showed values in silver
of from S5S to up in the hundreds per
ron

The Lost Cabin mine is known to have
been worked in 1872 and 1873. It's
closing down is attributed to the crime
of 49," Later, in the sos, it was To-
Gated by other parties and the assess
ment work DONE From that time on all
track of the property seems to have
been lost and though search after search
has been made for it, all efforts proved
futile
The ledge can be traced for nearly
/ 900 feet. The tunnel, it is calculated,
will tap the main ore body within the
next 100 feet and the discoveries will
drive the same to the point of inter-
section as early next spring as climatic
conditions will permit of work being
done.
The exact location of the property is
at point about midway between Mount
Grant and the Big Injun mine. The
cabin itself is all but hidden from view
in dense growth of pinion pine. Mr..
Warwick is of the opinion that it could
not have been seen except from the
exact spot where he and his associates
were cam0ed.

FIVE THOUSAND WORKMEN
ON MEXICAN GRADE

Redmond Toohey, who was the
first railroad construction contractor

morning from Mexico where he has
been for the past week, says the Tue
son Citizen.
MIR. Toohey has retired from the
active work of overseeing the con
struction. but has left his teams and
materials to Grant Brothers. His re-
cent trip TO Mexico was more out Of
curiosity than anything else, his OBJ
tect being to see how the work was
proceeding.
The Randolph people are building
four or five new lines i'm Mexico at
h present time. but Mr.. Toohey only
had an opportunity to witness the
work on one line. hat being built
frnm the main line at Corral to the
Alamos mines.
There are four to FIVE thousand
men now working on this line" said
MI. Toohey this morning, land the
work Is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The object of the line is
TO open up the mines at Alamos on
much larger scale than they are now
being worked"
Redmond Toohey was one of the
first railroad construction contractors

building OF a certain part of the At

W. l.. Hodges. general purchasing
agent Of the Santa Fe; n. M. Rice,

dington, chief fuel inspector, under
the stores department, arrived in AL
~buquerque yesterday and were Joined

on his first trip over the system since

or. a position just created. His head
quarters will be in Topeka, and an
assistant for the coast lines will be
named in the near future, with head
quarters in Albuquerque.
Have you seen the plans for our
new store house here?" asked Mr..
Rice last night Of a Journal reporter.
1T is going to be a dandy: the best
building of the kind on the coast lines
and a credit to Albuquerque. We have
hoped TO have construction under way
at once, although inability to get ma
terial has held us back" Mr.. Rice
not so very long ago s~torekeeper
here, was for some time a resident of
Albuquerque, and still takes a great
deal of interest in everything thai is
going on here. Mr.. Rice will remain
in Albuquerque for several days. Mr..
Hodges left last night for the west.
Neither the purchasing agent nor
Mr.. Rice would discuss the rumored
establishment here of the Hewitt
Brass manufacturing company's aux
iliary foundry. although both admit
ted having heard the matter spoken
of. Mr.. Hodges said the delay in COM
pleting the new tie plant had caused
his department some embarrassment.
The delays, he said, were chiefly due
to the troubles of III contractors who
had encountered quicksand which had
delayed the foundation construction,
and also delays i'm securing material.
