temporarily lay off about 30 OF the

some development work will also be
prosecuted so that when the signal is
given to resume shipments the COM

end of the district Tuesday and re
ported that the shaft which the COM
PanS Is sinking has reached a depth
of $50 feet Preparations are now be-
Ing made TO drift toward the cast and
west. There is some ore in sight at the
bottom of the shaft. and these who are
watching the development Of the
ground believe that the property will

Tho Mammoth company is sending
out one carload Of ore a day. which

The output of the Sioux Consolidated

known, a couple more chutes will be

The Centennial Eureka Will sink its
main working shaft 800 feet deeper the
work of which will be started at once
under contract, the management hav-
Ing decided to accept bids for the sink
ing and timhering. The shaft at the
Centennial Eureka is row down 900
feet and an additional depth of 500 feet
will give the mine the honor of having
not only the deepest workings IN this
district, but III the state. At present s,t
the working shaft at the Grand Central
has attained a depth of 2,l00 feet, and
that of the Mammoth about the same.
but the latter company has a winZe
from the lowest level down 100 feet.
and this gives the workings of tho
old time bonanza a depth of $3.50 feet,
