RUsTLING ORE
Field Representative Wilson Is
Now Securing Nevada
Camps for Contracts.

American Smelling & Refining COM
pany of Salt Lake has a representative
in the local field. inquiring into the
probable future output of ores, and
seeking to line up the producers with
that institution as regular patrons, says
the Fairview News. This fact would
seem to put at rest all talk of any dis
elimination against Nevada mines by
any branch of the smelter trust and the
general public is now ready to believe
that the hue and cry raised during the
late fall months was founded on moth
ing but imagination 1t is generally
conceded that the smelter trust was
financially embarrassed like all other
business concerns, and that it shut off
the shipments from this state because
it was not financially able to handle the
business under existing conditions.

Another diamond drill hole has been

Through the long drain tunnel the
water is now pouring forth at rate es-
timated to be $4,000 to $4,000 gallons

on a grade of one-half inch per rod'

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE
Market is Now Pokine Along at a
Monotonous Gait.

Conditions in the local mining stock
market are running along at a rather mo
notOnOuS gait, with nothing to break the
stride but an occasional squirt due princi-
pally to short filling. From the present
appearance of things this condition must
continue for a month or two, maybe
longer, for there is no disposition on the
part of mine owners and operating conf
panies to do other than they have been
doing for the past two months or more.
But this is the time to buy good stocks
for when the change comes a boom in
prices is inevitable.
During the two regular and open board
calls a total of S9,S9S shares of stock
with selling value of S36 244.37, changed
hands. Following is the list of final
quotations and record of sales made du-

CALUMET & HECLA LOSES
ROUNDUP BIGELOW SCRAF

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb 6.-Judge
Knappff IN the United States court here
today granted the petition of Albert s
Bigelow to enlarge the preliminary in
junction granted last April against the
Osceola Mining company. The enlarged
Injunction prohibits the company from
holding a meeting of stockholders until
the further order of the court.
This will prevent. the Calumet & HecIa
Copper company from voting stock which
it holds in the OsceOla company ana the
Injunction will remain effective until the
whole copper controversy is settled. 1t
is claimed by Bigelow that the Calumet
& Hecla owns enough stock to place the
management of that company under Cal

In November, 1889, when the 9,O0O-foot
mark was reached and a switch was
put in a big water course was tapped
and the track and floor had TO be
raised. Previous to the raising of the
track, and when the water was all OF
two feet above the track floor it was
estimated that about 1900 gallons a
minute was running out of the mouth OF
the tunnel. That was the biggest flow
ever known in the tunnel up to the pres
ent time, Now the water is running
over the f1ume about eighteen inches
deep and, without its having been ac-
curately measured, it is believed the
flow is as stated above. Before the mine
became flooded, there was less than 6,OOO
gallons d minute leaving the mine. Ever
since the mine entrance to the tunnel,
at shaft No. was reached, there has
been considerably more than the nor
