been for unfortunate litigation over the
ownership Of the ground. There was a
court decision on this matter a Few
months g and an appeal was talked
of, but the c~ontending parties have
come to an agreement out of court, with
the result that the organization of the
Queen Wonder Mining company. with
main Offices in Denver. Is about COM
pleted. The capital stock has been liked
at 1900, 900 shares, par value 81. with
500, 900 shares in the treasury. The
officers and directors have not yet been
selected.
A new vein of excellent quartz was
opened on the ground Of the Sunshine
Wonder late this week. The assay re-
turns have not yet been received. but
the rock gives every indication OF car
rying good values. This vein was en-
countered in trenching on the west sic
of the hill about 200 feet from the main
shaft on the Sunshine. This makes six
veins which have been opened on this
property.
Great interest has been aroused dur
ing the week by gold paintings obtained
at the 50-foot level in the shaft which
Smith and Reed are sinking on the
Mineral Ranch property. This shaft Is
being sunk close to the ledge. and a few
days ago a short crosscut was run. The

This work is being done in the various
drifts and crosscuts on the 700. 500. 900
and 1,000-foot levels. and the manage
ment is fast putting the mine in shape
for increased production. The showing
on the 1,000-foot level, the deepest in
the mine, is especially gratifying. as 1t
is in the drifts from the No. 8 north
crosscut that the finest body of ore Is
being opened up, the vein averaging
over 6 feet wide and of shipping values.

While the management of the COM
pany will continue to prospect and de-
velop the veins opened up in Fraction
No. / ground of the company. more at
tention is going to be paid to the work
on the Stone Cabin claim. In about 10
days work will begin through the Stone
Cabin shaft, which has lain idle for
some time, and a vigorous policy pur-
sued in developing up the veins which
are known to exist in this claim.
MacNAMA1A
That there is plenty Of ore in the
MacNamara is proved by the fact that
the management is now shipping a So
ton car of ore every three days to the
sampler. Heretofore the shipments
nave been at the rate of one car every
four days. This ore will sample better
than $50 to the ton, so 1t will be seen
that there must be a substantial in
crease in the treasury at the end OF
each month.

(From tho Miner.)


All is activity in and about the mine
and mill of the Montana Tonopah Min
ing mpan The stamps of the mill
are dropping continuously, there being
but % hours lost during the whole of
last month, and lack of power was re-
sponsible for nearly all of this. An
average of LOO tons of ore a week is
crushed and treated In the mine the
regular development work is being
pushed. in addition to taking out
enough ore to keep the mill running.

The work of ~rewinding the hoist and
changing the power from that furnished
by the power house at Millers to the
Bishop company's power was started
in the Mizpah haf last Thursday, and
1t is expected to have the job COM
pleted by tomorrow night, when the
changing of the Silver Top hoist will
be undertaken. When the two hoists
have been completed all the power used
by this both in the mill and
mine. will be furnished by the Bishop
Creek power line and will effect quite
a saving to the company In cost. Ad-
vantage will be taken Of the temporary
shut down to make some needed re-
pairs to the hoist and several surface
improvements.
THE MIDWAY
The regular development work is go
ing on in the Midway without a hitch
and to the entire satisfaction Of the
management. Shipments averaging $50
tons a week are going forward to the
sampler at Millers. the returns from
which are more than paying the ex-
penses at the mine.
THE DELH0Nx
That no time Is being lost in the de-
velopment of this big property may be
seen by the fact that 264 feet of new
work has been accomplished this week.

BEER OF ANCIENT BREW.
Bottle Remained in Well Twenty
Four Years Before Recovery.


Shelbyville, Ind.-A bottle Of beer,
put up % years ago. was unearthed on
the Martin Burchert farm, near Pres
colt, the other day. There is story
connected with it.
In the fall Of 1885 Burchert and
Barney Leland, both well-known resi-
dents of Shelby township. went into
the harvest field to work. They took
two quart bottles Of Cincinnati beer
with them. When they arrived at an
old well on the place they drank the
contents of one bottle and lowered
the other into the well to keep cool.
When their work was finished in the
afternoon one of the men went to the
we'll and attempted to draw the bottle
up. He broke the string, causing the
bottle to fall to the bottom of the well,
which was Is feet deep.
The present season has been very
dry, causing the water in the well to
be only foot or two in depth, and
Burchert decided to clean it out
While he was doing so he found this
bottle with the beer still in 1t.
The fastening at the top of the neck
is of wire, which method went out OF
use 16 years ago.
