Pumps Now Down 24O Feet Prepare Mill For
 Steady Run
Miners Start To Un- water Shaft On The
 Alma Mine
lFr.m Tuc.dnv,. DniIyl

Work iu unwatcriug the shaft of the Empire mine. on Groom Creek. is pro. grcssug satisfactorily The pumps are now down to a depth of 2lo feet and are being lowered at thc rate of about SIX feet every 'wcn'yfour dours. The levels from thc 20ofoot station have been found badly cavcd m and 1t will rake considerable time to repair it be. fore extensive exploration work can toe commenced
 The concern is contemplating the in. etallatiou of boiler in the mill, of sufficient capacity to furnish the mill and hoisting engine at the shaft on the aill with steam. The steam for the hoist will bc run through a line a distance of about 300 feet, boxed and sunk in the ground. SO as to be thor. oughly protected from the weather. The mill is being pu, in shape for q steady run as soon as the shaft is un. Wstcrcd. and the camp Is being pre-. pared for the accommodation of large force of men.
 The Alma group, consisting of ten claims, is located about one mile east of the Empire, near the head of Groom Creek, and in the vicinity of the Mid night Test and other proven proper. tics.
 The locations cover series of gold bearing quartz veins from which some very high grade ore has been mined From shallow shafts and openings.

Promising Ore Body Encountered at Depth
 Of 400 Feet
]. J. Fisher Thinks Ore Deposit Large And
 Permanent
(From Tucsday's Daily.)

Reports from Jerome indicate that the recent ore strike made in the shaf, of the Little Daisy mine, al depth of about 100 feet. is considered by Jer. omc mining engineers to be very promising one, some who have person. ally examined it asserting that there is no longer any doubt but what the property will yet prove among the great ones of the Black Hills range.
 The orc is n sulpbidc, carrying lime. If was struck after n quartzitc capbing nad been passed through. Copper val. u's were found in the quartzitc, which was replaced by limestone lower down., in which the values showed m appre- cable increase. Now the sulphidc orc IS in sight and the shaft is being pushed through it, Dut it's extent will not bc known for many months, in the opinion of those familiar with the great deposits of the United Verde mines. which lie west of and adjoining the Little Daisy.
 Civil Engineer !. ]. Fisher of this city is n heavy owner in the property. When seen last evening by n represent. a'ivc of the Journal. Miner, he admitted that ore had been struck in the shaft and that the deposit had every appear. ancc of being n large and permanent one. He added, however, that no idea of its size could be formed at this time, ,nd that it would he some time before d,ifts and crosscuts could be run through it.
 Tho Little Daisy, n patented frac. 'ional claim, Is located immediately north of and adjoining the town of Jerome. It was located some years 'go by J. J. Fisher and associates. while he was making n mineral survey Tor patent. He found good float on it's 'urfacc and appropriated it. He has 'lways considered it very valuable 'laim and his good judgment mas been demonstrated by the recent strike.

THIRTY EIGHT MEN AT PLACER.
 TIA CORPORATION.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Good progress is being made in the development of the properties of ths Plscerita Corporation, located in the Placerita district, according to the statements of George Mahard, n prom. inent mining man of that section, who was here yesterday on mining busi. ness.
 In the course of his conversatio with a Journal.Miner man, MT. Mahard said; "work is being pushed in three shafts, two of which are equipped with steam hoisting plants. There are thirty-eight miners employed under. ground and the development is pro. grcssing satisfactorily to tho manage. ment. The double compartment per. pendicular working shaft on the Bon. anza claim is now down 125 feet and the shaft on the Coral mine is being pushed down from the 2sO foot level to the 3so-foot level, where q station will be cut and the vein opened by drifts and crosscuts. Tho ore shoots arc showing up large and with better values as depth is gained and there is no longer any doubt but what tho mines will prove among the rich gold producers of the county.
 "Before passing into the control of the Placcrita Corporation the claims had record of gold production of &s0,000, although the deepest shaft sunk was only 2sO feet. This rccorI will be eclipsed in very short time under the present plan of development which involves the pushing down of all shree shafts to great depth and the opening of the veins in scientific and mining manner"
 The group, consisting of seven claims, is located about twelve miles south of Kirkland. There is n 10. stamp mill and cyaniding plant on the ground and other modern mining cauip. ment.
 Mir. Mahard will leave for home Co. day.

SHARP ADVANCE IN CATTLE
 MARKET
Special Correspondence.

Speclal Correspondence.
 KANSAS CITY, Aug. ie.-A large reduction in cattle receipts last week. ns compared with the previous week. enabled salcsmen to secure advances on al kinds, ranging from 10 to 25 cents. The supply is l5,0Oo today, several thousand less than was expected. and tho market is firm. A feature lately the strong demand for country grades, this class showing most advance last week, and supplies below actual requirements. Ono train of medium class Colorado stockers came in last week, and sold at s3.s5, but tho movement from the west is not start ,d 'as yet. A train of the Parsons beef steers afc expected today or tomorrow, which will give n pretty good line on tss market as compared with last year. Thcy are expected to sell et s.'5 to $500. if as represented. Top Ted steers sold today at s7.l5, and the bulk of grass cattle from native ter. ritory brought $i60 to $5.6o, native feeders up to s5.75. bulk of stockers and feeders s3.75 to s5I5, grass cows $265 to si25, neifers up Co si.75. bulls sg.00 to s3.5O, veal calves 25 Co i5o cents higher than n week ago, at *4.5o to tG.25. Receipts from quaran. tine territory are only about one half as heavy as during July and volume of supply from that section will continue moderate till the close of tn. season. in October.
 sheep receipts are extremely small, only li,000 head here last week, and 2,5OO here today. The market made gains at the close of last week and IA firm today. Top lambs s7.65, Colorado spring lambs today at $76O, Colorado ewes s5.2O, top native ewes s5.5O, wethers up to $5s5, and yearlings $6.25. bad break in eastern nut. Son markets last week was almost un. observed nere, as the outlet to other sections from this point has been suf, hcicnt to absorb all that came at strong prices. A few Arzonas were included last week, but supplies were mostly natives. There is a strong in. | puiry for stock and breeding stun and this would sell almost on the same | basis as mutton grades.

BUT LITTLE EXAGGERATIoN

Drs. Lamb and Newsome talk of in
specting tours of Grand Junction and
other cities.
There has been but little exag-
geration in the paper concerning the
sanitary condition of slaughter houses
in Colorado. Since my appointment
have been obliged to close up five or
six such institutions and have COM
PEELED the owners of several others
to abandon their plants and build
new ones"
State Meat Inspector o. E. Newsom
in a paper read yesterday at the
regular semi-annual meeting of the
Colorado Veterinary association an
nounced some new facts concerning
his discovery in the abattoirs.
DIR. Charles G. Lamb and | have
been conducting agitation throughout
the cities of the state to urge councils
to pass ordinances and appoint mu-
nicipal inspectors. So far good deal
of success has resulted. Denver re-
Gently enacted such a measure and
viii have. three inspectors to work in
short time. Colorado Springs al
ready had such an ordinance. In Pu-
eblo there is an inspector, but he can
only be superficial as he has other
duties. In Fort Collins, Canon City.
/ I.
Trinidad and other cities. bills are be-
ing prepared.
THE drawback to this work is that
/ it is impossible to get thoroughly
qualified men to take it up. especial
/ ly at the salaries paid by the cities.
/ 1 hope the veterinary surgeons will
take an active interest in the move
ment In reality, they are the only
men qualified to take such positions
Under the United States department
of agriculture, only men who are grad
yates of veterinary science are consid.
cred eligible.
A good way to get over the diff.
Guilty would be to have each city an.
point a city veterinarian at a nomin.
al salary to supervise the work of the
meat inspectors.
The act passed by the Legislature
is wise and was most necessary. But
1t falls short because it provides fol
the appointment of only one man tc
cover the slaughter houses all oveI
the state. Thus it is impossible t
insure the presence of an inspector
when each animal is slaughtered
which should be essential.
For this reason the public mus
be kept aware of the facts in order
that city ordinances be put in force
