MAKING GOOD PRoeREss-Judge
| S. II. Snider, c. G. Werner and S. H.
| Carbon arrived here yesterday from
| Winkelman, near which point is the
Two Queens mine in the development
of which all are largely interested.
| Work is progressing nicely they say.
though development work for a short
| time oa& has been curtailed a little
while the men were engaged in build
| ing a road from the camp to a point
on the hillside where the mine OPEN
| ings are found. The purpose was to
| enable the transportation of the hoist
recently secured to the No shaft on
| the Standby claim. Everything is i'm
| readiness and the machinery will prob
ably be placed this week. The shaft
| is down 100 feet and a crosscut has
| been run for about 20 feet. during
which vein about six feet wide was
| cut, carrying good ore values. After the
placing of the hoist it is proposed to
push the shaft down to great depth
and determine just exactly what the
big Hill is made of At the same time
work continues on the big tunnel low
er down. which is now in about 400
feet. The shaft which the tunnel cross
cuts Is down 200 feet, the winze por-
| ton of 1t being 100 feet below the tun-
mel. Work has been discontinued there
until hoist can be erected but the
tunnel Is still being driven into the
hill and there are indications of the
near approach to a good vein of ore.
UNDER THE ST. JoHNs.-J. L.
Cant is home after a week spent on
his ranch under the St Johns canal.
He says the ranch never looked so well
before. in fact it is the first time that
he was ever real proud to say IL be-
ionged To him, but conditions seem to
have changed very much for the bet
ter in those parts. The farmers are
getting all the water they can use this
year and could have more il they
wanted 1t. Every rancher also has a
little bunch of cattle and most Of them
run dairies taking their milk daily to
the creamery and cheese factory near
the Fowler school house. The fruit
crop Is a marvellous one, especially
peaches. II anything. it is too heavy.
for the fruit is breaking down the
limbs of trees that were not properly
supported. The quality of the fruit.
says Mr.. Cant, is excellent. None
better in any country. In times past.
about the only thing grown for forage
In those parts was sorghum. Now. al
most every ranch has its alfalfa pas
ture and hay stacks are of frequent
occurrence. Among the old pioneers
settled in those parts are E X. Buker
and Jack Walters. both now well adj
vanced in years. and neither having
very good health.
