FAKE REPORTS
ARE DENOUNCED

Statements made i'm the long
article published in the morning
yellow and made up by that pa
per from unreliable dispatches.
concerning general shakeup''
in the official circles of the Dem
yer Il Rio Grandc including the
retirement of President Jeffery,
are given the lie by President
Jeffery himself. As announced
exclusively by The Sentinel some
days ago the retirement of Gem
crai Manager A. c. Ridgway was
to be effective July and that is
the only important change con-
tempiated at this time i'm the
high official circles of the Rio
Grande.
The following is dispatch from
New York City:
New York. July Edward T.
Jeffery, president of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad company, when
seen this afternoon at the offices of
the road at No. 1875 Broadway, siren
uously denied that there is to be a
"shakeup" on the road, or that he
would retire.
"A. C. Ridgway. the general man
ager. voluntarily terminated his con-
nection with the road today, to enter
private business" said Mr.. Jeffery.
And the duties of his office will be
taken over by Charles II. Schlacks,
vice president, at Denver. Aside from
that, rumors of changes are made
out of whole cloth. No other changes
or designations are in contempla-
ton"
Mr.. Jeffery exhibited q letter he
had Just received from an officer of
the road in Denver, to which was at
tached cutting from the Denver
Post. The writer of the letter stated
that he had been present when the
interview had been given to the Post
reporter, and that many statements
in the article were unwarranted and
overdrawn.
"If the Denver reporters can make
sensation they usually do so, SAID
Mr.. Jeffery, with considerable en-
phasis.

The market displayed consider
able strength and showed remark
able firmness for the closing day of
the week. 1t is probable that the
death of e. H. Hartman will delay
the fall boom in stocks by at9least
two weeks, but a boom is surely
coming. There is a world of idle
money throughout the country and it
is only a short time until the form
ers will have their crops marketed
and plenty of money to re-invest, of
receive a goodly share. While there
were no wide fluxuations in the cop
pers today, they all held firm, which
would indicate higher prices for next
weeks market. Nevada Con. was
quite active and showed the widest
spread in the list. Giroux continued
weak. Cumberland Ely held firm
around 81 and should be an excel
lent investment at the present price.
Ely Central was active in today's
trading, which would indicate that
the Parish report IS now in New
Lork and the insiders r 10 doubt
discounting this. Inspiration and
Mason Valley held around yester-
days figures. These two stocks are
exceptionally good buys and will sell
much higher between now and the
first of the yea Boston Ely was
some stronger oday. Butte & Ely
was considerably stronger and it
looks as though the option would be
taken up beyond a doubt.

SAVE MORE 7
New Pipe Line to be Built by Steptot
Valley From Timber Geek.

According to a call for bids made
by the Steptoe Valley Smelling &
Mining, they are ready to put in a
pipe line which will convey the wat
ers of Timber creek to Berry creek.
In this name an important flow
will be saved that is now lost through
seepage, there being a considerable
stream in the bed of Timber creek
at the point where it is proposed to
build the pipe line from. This stream
in the next mile or SO disappears en-
tirely through the loose bed of its
channel. By the addition of the flow,
which will be saved through the pipe
line, to the Berry creek stream there
will be important gain to the volume
of water which a later be diverted
from Berry to the power proposition
which will be developed when need
arises.

INSPIRATION S
At WATER LEVEL
WILL NOW DRIFT -FOUR WAYS
FROM JOE BUSH SHAFT ON
THE 400 LEvEL-OTHER ARIZ-
ONA MINING CAMP NEWS.

The water level has been
tered in the Joe Bush shaft at the
Inspiration property, and the COM
pany has decided to drift from the
400-foot level, according to Henry
Crumb, consulting engineer for the
property, who has just returned from
Arizona, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican. The shaft, it is said,
has been in very wet ore for some
time, but the gasoline hoist and
buckets have been able to handle
the water. At the 4O0-foot level it
was decided that the greater depth
would increase the flow of water
to such an extent that it could not
be handled with the present machin-
cry. For that reason it vas thought
best to commence drifting on the 400
level. Drifting has been started
and drifts will be sent out in four
directions.
For the past 80 feet the shaft
has been all in ore of better than 2k
per cent. The bottom of the shaft
is said to be getting better ore than
in any other part of the work, and
before leaving Mr.. Crumb says that
he secured samples running as high
as 4 and 5 per cent.
Drilling is being continued in other
parts of the property. Although the
drills have struck the ore, there has
been nothing of a definite nature ac-
complished SO far. 1t is believed that
the drills will prove up a body of
ore as large as any of those in the
vicinity.
The railroad from Globe to Miami
property, which will also be of advan-
tage to the Inspiration, is we'll under
way. The grading has nearly been
completed and the laying of stel has
begun. At the Inspiration the new
millsite is being graded.
At the Ray Consolidated property
the new shaft is being opened up to
the 150-foot level. The miners have
been sinking from the surface, and
at the same time raising from the $50
foot level. Several days ago the
hole was put through connecting the
two workings.
The new shaft will not be finished
for some time to the 150-foot level,
as IL Will nave " NC oCiiO oue
and timbered. The shaft will be
the big working avenue for the mine
as it will be used for the hauling
Of ore to the surface only. 1t will
be capable of carrying out 5000 tons
of ore every t~wenty-four hours.
An incline shaft that is now being
fixed up will be used for the miners
so that all the time at the new shaft
will be devoted exclusively to raising
of ore.
The new road from Kelvin to Ray
is progressing in excellent shape.
Although this was a narrow gauge
road, there have been a great many
changes made in Transforming it to
a standard gauge. Many of the turns
were cut out and the grade changed,
At the ella property four churn
drills are now pounding away and
blocking out an enormous tonnage
of ore. The drills are now proving
up the ore body is greater than was
at first anticipated.
