 we'll as other properties in this county, is said to have encountered the old channel in a long drift run into the mountain near Dutch Flat, California, and from which he expects to take millions. The old channel was one of the richest spots in the great gravel belt of the Golden State.
 Germany, France and England are preparing to increase their silver coin age by many millions yearly. Ger many will coin about ten millions yearly and the other countries lesser amounts. The opening of the hints of these counties will give the produc- CTS of the world new markets for their surplus silver and may result in a higher price for the white metal.
 T. P. Wilson, at one time head of the bookkeeping department of the Cold Road M. & E. Company, died at his home near Chicago on the sixth of this month He has been ill the great CT part of the past year and his death was not unexpected. He was one of the most popular of the young men of Goldroad and his death will be greatly regretted in the big gold camp, as well as in other parts of the county.
 J. w. Wood, foreman of the Santa Fe water service, has large gang of men at work on the foundation for the two big water tanks that the company is to build at this place. The tanks are to be more than forty feet in height and will hold an immense quan- tity of water. The tanks and towers are to be of steel. A water treating plant is also to be put in to treat the water from the company's well at this place. As soon as the tanks are com pleted they are to be connected up with a water system throughout the yards, mains being laid from the big tanks and we'll to the limit of Third street up to and including the block above Fifth street. A duplex pump, three hundred feet of hose and cart and reel will also be put in to protect the property of the company against ire. The line will probably be con- | nected up with the city system and | the two systems used to protect all the property wherever it can be reached. R. P. Wheeler came up from the McCracken mine Thursday last and visited with friends in town. He re- ports that work on the big pipe line from Cienega ranch to the mine is well under way. At Cienega big stream of water was struck at depth of six feet in the drift that is being run to cut the water channel. The drift will cut the big dyke through which the water flows at a depth of thirtyseven feet and will be carried to the head of the big pipe in sluice boxes. The first five miles of pipe will be ten inches, which will be gradually reduced to six inches at the mines. The elevation of the head will be enough to carry Wa ter over McCracken hill. At the mine a big force of men are at work and one of the most wonderful bonanZas in the territory is being opened up. Mining men who have seen the property pre- dict that it will rival the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine within few years. The McCracken is richer in silver values than the two great Idaho prop critics, but may not carry as high values in lead.
