drawn twenty-five thousand dollars
from bis salt Lake bank for the purpose
OF closing Il mining deal for which
he had been negotiating several weeks

that he had II" money with him as he
had carefully wrapped the currency in

his wife when he tossed the bundle IN

BELMONT.

The work of repairing the head
frame and installing the hoist on the
Belmont shaft is being done with all
haste possible and it will not be long
before the shaft is repaired and the
work Of sinking the churn drill from
the bottom OF the shaft to the 1000
foot level started. The shaft is down
500 feet and the object of sending
the drill down is to afford a better
ventilation when the work of sinking
commences. This is also the object
of sinking the shaft as it will provide
a better source Of air for the work
ings of the Desert Queen shaft which
has sent a drift from the 1000-foot
level to a point directly underneath
the Belmont shaft.
Outside Of the usual routine work
there is no change to report in the
Desert Queen workings and the reg
ular amount OF progress is reported.

ASCENDING.

Sam Nlerten, a miner emppJed IN
the Montana mine, vas killed this
morning just as he was coming off
shift. lie was coming to the surface
in the cage along with five other min

by the dividing timbers, he having
allowed his body to project out too
far. The cage Travelled about 100
feet before the engineer became
aware that something was wrong.
When the cage was stopped Merten

progress Made in TOnOpdh
Mines During the Past Week

the Martha vein advanced twenty feet
during the week and has about two
feet of low grade ore in the face.
The work Of cutting out a stope on
the South vein west of the crosscut
has been completed and is now being
timbered. The vein shows an aver
age width of eighteen inches for over
a distance of ninety feet. The stope
on the Martha vein has four feet of
fair milling ore exposed from which
the usual good tonnage is extracted.
Stopping also continues on the Mac
donald vein 1000 feet west of the
shaft, the vein averaging from four
to five feet of fair grade milling ore.
5f5-foot level-The west drift on
the South vein was extended twenty
feet and the face averages two feet
OF high grade milling ore. The east
drift on the Martha vein advanced
twenty-four feet and averages about
two and one-half feet OF milling ore.
The northwest crosscut from the
winze on the hanging wall streak of
the Martha vein advanced twenty
three feet. This crosseut has en-
c~ountered the main body of the
.lartha vein and the face shows about
six feet Of milling ore. The winze
is now being sent to further depth.
The stope on the South vein immedi-
ately north Of the shaft on this leve,
has about three to four feet of sui
phide milling ore exposed.
565-foot Stopping continues
on the south branch of the Martha
vein which shows an average of two
feet Of milling ore.
6f5-foot level-The slopes on thu
Macdonald, Martha and A b K veini
connecting with this level show NJ

The stope on the t5O-foot level
west Of the shaft continues to pro-

MIDWAY

The usual good progress is being
made in the workings of the Midway
and sensational developments are
now being looked for daily. During
the past week the stock quotations of
this security have made a material in
crease and have closed strong at
every days session. The main point
of interest is the work being prose-
cuted on the G35-foot level where a
large portion of the virgin ground is
being penetrated. The various lodges
and veins throughout the mine con-
tinue to show the usual strength,
both as TO the dimensions and values.

EXTENSION.

TheN400 and 77O-foot levels Of the
Extension continue to be the scene
of all operations that are now under
way in that mine. On the 770-foot
level, the raise from the main north
crosscut has reached a point about
sixty-fve feet above the level. This
raise viii make connection With a
winze from the 6O0-foot level, and is
for the purpose Of affording better
ventilation. The faces in the differ
ent drifts remain the same and retain
the usual excellent showing.

and intervenors, including the exam
iner before whom the hearing was
had, had just closed a rate case at
Phoenix, where four days had been
spent in taking oral testimony Of in
terested shippers.
The taking of testimony began
Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock
and at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon the
entire testimony of the com%plaintants
was in, and the defendants began SUBJ
hitting their testimony.
The complaintants swore six wit
nesses who without confusion related
a connected story from the building
of the railroad, it's tariff system OF
rate, origin and distribution Of its
traffic, cost of its operation, its earn
ings, it's profits and its disbursements
of proceeds and steamship tonnage.
The situation in Nevada was revealed
as clear al the MONDAY sun when the
-complaintants closed their case. h
veteran lawyers for the defense
made no effort at cross-examinatfon
of most of the witnesses. Instead
they could not refrain from express
sions of commentator at the COM
%pleteness of the evidence, its order Of
presentation and the celebrity of intro
duction. This expression of praise
extended to the examiner and his Of
fetal staff who placed this case with
out an equal in the scope of clearness
Of the evidence and the order Of its
arrangement and presentation,
, The defendants closed their side
OF the controversy at noon on the
: following day, the strongest points
; they aimed to emphasize were de-
~fensive in contemplation of suits for
; reduction in east-bound rates from
California into Nevada by a showing
of the excessive cost Of operation over
: the Sierras, a point strongly empha-
! sized by the compliments by witness
and exhibit which was thus corrob-
GRATED with exceeding satisfaction to
. them.
: The opinion expressed by the de-
PENDANT forces leads to the conclusion
II that the principle applied by the in
Il terstate commerce commission in the
e Spokane case win be extended to a
larger area and include a greater
/ number of articles. No doubt OBJ
truded itself in the minds Of any that
an order of wholesale relief will be
= extended in the case which means

Picture Rock
al Silver Bow

John Gregoyich, B. I. Smith, w.
]. Bell and c. II. Mace visited Silver
Bow Saturday to inspect the property
OF the Catlin Silver Bow Mining com
pany, of which Mr. G~regogieh and
Mr.. Smith are the owners. The for
mer received a message last week
stating that the ledge which the
shaft has been sunk on had made a
wonderful change and that the value
of the ore would go ~etter than 500
to the ton. Prior Il this time the
ledge would average about $40 a ton
and the company has about 1900
tons of ore of this class on the dump.
The depth where the values in
creased is 140 feet from the surface
and the extent of the ledge at this
point is unknown. Drifting has been
started from both sides of the shaft
to determine the dimensions of the
ore body.
Mr.. Gregovich brought back a
number of specimens taken from the
ledge and all bear a strong resem-
blance to the ores of the Tonopah
mines. A force of four men has been
constantly at work on the property
for some time and only recently a
contract was let by Mr.. Gregovich for
the sinking Of the shaft to an addi-
ton depth.
Several shipments were made las
year of ore from the ledge, but ow
ing to the long distance to the neal
est railroad shipping point the profits
) were greatly decreased by the tim
4 tile returns were received.
4 Owing to the fact that the Si'va
Y Bow country is situated in a distrsc
where there is plenty of fuel and wa
b ter 1t is thought that a mill will 500
be erected. II this is done the ore

OF the Jim Butler property, the only
work now being done is in the clean

Schwab, head Of the Steel Trust,
that he has said if the cut in the
duties on steel proposed in the new
bill becomes law, it will mean that
the wages of the iron workers will
be reduced to the pauper labor basis
of Europe, and that women will be
put to work in the coke pits wheel
iug coke. This is not an idle
threat, it is a forecast of what will
inevitably happen if the tariff re-
ductions on steel is going to cut in
to the profits of the Trust. We
know what followed the Wilson
tariff for revenue that was passed at
the beginning Of CIeveland's second
administration. Congress, with
the bill now before it simply pro.
poses to replenish a depleted ma
tional treasury at tho cost OF
American labor, and in this the
Republican party is handling dan
