MINES AND MINING.

Mr.. Walter Wright drove out to the
Extreme Minnie May mine on Mon
day accompanied by Mr.. II. McCleland
and d. L, Thomas to examine the prop
erty. The result of the examination
that Walter would divulge was that the
water in the mine was very wet and its
flavor unimpaired. We hope in the
near future to get more satisfactory re-
port, to the effect that the ore runs suffi-
ciently rich to pay and that work on the
old bonanza will soon be resumed.
Mr.. ]. Wayne Won Leer, the mining
engineer who for the past week has
been engaged in examining the Hart
ford and Grand Junction mines, COM
pleted his task and took the train for
Deadw Ood on Saturday last. The results
of course are not yet known, but 1T is
hoped and expected that they will be
favorably, and work will soon be started
on the old mine which has lain idle so
long. 1t is probable that the two prop
critics which are now owned separately
will be consolidated and worked as one
grand mine. If intelligently managed
we predict a prosperous future for this
property, resulting in great benefit to
the owners and this mining district.
So far as we can learn the deal on the
Wandering Boy is off and Mr.. Giliispie
made but brief stay in Custer and has
gone back to his home in Pittsburg, and
Mr. Jack HaZlett also took the train for
the east on Monday night The mine
is located about IL miles north westerly
from Custer and although the vein is
not large (about l3 inches) it is reported
as being very rich and the ore full oi
free gold. The time for final payment
on the mine was June 18th. The depth
of the shaft was IS feet on the vein
which is a true fissure and vertical
The vein shows up very satisfactory 80
far as it has been penetrated but Mr.
Gillispie desired to see deeper before he
bought and so made the owners the
following proposition: "Grant me an
extension of three months time during
which | will sink the shaft another 100
feet and drift 100 feet on the vein. II
at that stage of development the mine
shows up satisfactorily | will take 1t and
pay you SIS, 900 instead of $4,000 which
is the present price" The offer was de-
clined and Mr.. Gillispie departed on the
same day that he arrived. Mr.. Gillispie
through his agents, Mr.. Jack Haziet,
and Dan McGonigal, has spent in the
vicinity of Custer the sum of 5000, in
vestigating prospects with a view oI
finding a mine that would justify g
o. ant and worthy of his time and atten-
ton,

No humbug claims have to be made

best testimonial of its great merit. Why

Two years ago Mr.. Parish sup.

not open the columns of his pop.

all right then because he was
supporting Funk's candidate.

minute a man endorses one who
does not have the support Of this

He was just as active, yes more
