At THE W|NOFALL MINE
Remedying Bad Air Conditions
Erection of New Cyanide Mill
Making Good Progress

From @. T. Weidman. superintendent
Of the Eureka. Windfall Mining Com
pany, il is learned that after reaching a
depth OF 1916 feet in the ~company's new
shaft it was found necessary to suspend
work on account OF bad air. They are
now up-raising from a 60 foot drift of
the 225 foot station to make connection
with a similar drift on the 100 foot
level. which will cause sufficient draft
to remedy the present foul air trouble
at the bottom Of the shaft. AS soon as
this work is completed. prosecuting
from the 1926 foot level will be COM
menced.
No effort Is now being made to take
out ore. all work being centered in the
blocking ont of the ore bodies for ex-
peditious handling when the new cya-
hide mill is ready for operation-about
May next.
A 90 ton shipment of ore averaging
800 per ton. taken from the crosscuts
aud drifts. will be SEMI to the smelters
ON March 10.
The late snow storms have proved
beneficial to the company in providing
good sleighing the entire distance from
the Z. & P. depot to the mine. For
some time It has been necessary to haul
all material and supplies about three
miles on wagons, and then transfer the
same to sleighs for inal delivery at the
mine. Since better sleighing condi.
tions have prevailed good Roadway has
been made. aud with the exception of
one load, all machinery aud material
for the new mil has been delivered at
the mine.
The bottoms Of five Of the teaching
tanks are already laid on their founda-
lions, and the erection Of the new mill
is proceeding rapidly. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable weather conditions
that have recently prevailed.
About 40 men are now employed by
the company. but this force will be
considerably increased when work in
the shaft and drifting is resumed on
the lower level.

The water available now amounts to
1900 gallons every "a hours. which

WILL REPAIR PAusADE ROAD
Arrest Of Western Pacific Con-
struction Engineer Brings
Railway to Terms

Commissioner J. b. Bale and Dis
trict Attorney A. 8. Henderson returned
Wednesday from an official trip to Pali-
SADIE. where they were called regarding
the obstruction of the county road by
the Western Pacific Railway.
The obstruction Of this road has beer
the source of a great deal of trouble to
the travelling public in the north end.
and the cause Of considerable friction
between the county officials aud the
engineer, Mr.. Friend, in charge Of the
Western Pacific construction work at
Palisa ie.
About the first Of last October the
District Attorney, at the request of the
Board of Coonty Commissioners. went
to Palisade to adjust the matter. Nj.
Friend at this time agreed to repair the
road in 80 days. Some of the work was
done, but the job was not completed
according to agreement.
In completing the railway grade in
the canyon the county road has been
rendered almost impossible in places.
In January, Commissioners Bale went
down to adjust the matter. aud the
Western Pacific people agreed to COM
mence work within a week and fix the
road wherever the same was necessary.
but failed to do so.
This failure lead to Constable N.
Hawkins swearing to q complaint at
Palisade last Saturday for the arrest of
Mr.. Friend for obstructing the public
highways. Mr.. Friend was arrested
and the case came up before Justice j.
M. Requa on Tuesday. Attorney e. Z.
Caine of Elko came to Palisade in the
interest Of the Western Pacific and i'm
mediately conferred with the District
Attorney in regard to the matter. aud
upon agreement aud at the request of
the latter the case was continued,
the Western Pacific people agreeing to
Immediately go to work and put the
road in a condition that would be satis-
factory to all concerned. The work of
repairing the road is now going on.
