morning the Shannon-Arizona Rail- road company commenced operating ore trains over the new line. In order to build this railroad it required a considerable sum of money and un- limited nerve aud determination. With the exception of a very small portion of the roadbed it was just like digging the way through and in other places is like making a level place where it seemed impossible. However the task has been completed and this company is today operating one of the best ten-mile railroads in Arizona. For a starter the Shannon is hauling light trains over the road, with the intention of settling the roadbed before attempting to do all of its own work. The Shannon will take care of all of it's ore and freight hauling between Clifton and Metcalf in the near future. Copper Era.

which is something remarkable. Everyone is working or able to get work if desired. Wages are 4S and up for eight hours. We have one store, two barber shops and two assay offices (one restaurant lon the road"). No lodging house as yet, but one is said to be on the way coming in. The nearest saloon is about eight miles from here. The weather is very cold here at night, although the days are quite warm whenever the sun shines. There is from eight inches to thirty feet of snow here, while there are some places entirely bare, being wind swept. This is an ideal place for townsite, plenty of room and an abun dance of wood and water"

last Monday, and since that day has been running practically continuously. Built and erected by the Eddy En- gineering Co. of Los Angeles, it was part of the contract that the manufac- turer should make satisfactory test run of POO tons before the plant would be accepted by the company. A num- Der of the larger stockholders are on the ground to witness the trial run and also to attend the annual meeting, scheduled for next Tuesday. It is ex- pected that the ore now being run will plate in the neighborhood of POS.
 President C. vI. Austin arrived from the coast on Tuesday and at once got telephone connection with the mine. Later he expressed himself as greatly pleased with the reports received.
 "We have," he declared, las fine and complete plant of it's size and kind as you will find anywhere. While in no-wise surprised, still I am none the less pleased to learn that every thing IS running so smoothly. The starting of the mill marks the close of a very busy year-one during which we have developed a prospect into a producing mine, likewise it signalizes the close of my own active manage ment.
 At our meeting next week it will be up to my associates to name my successor. I positively will not con- tinue to serve. I've worked hard for a year or more to put the enterprise on a producing basis, and I have promised myself that I am going to quit. True, I'm only 70 years of age, but I've got winter home in southern California and a summer place at Seattle, in either of which I think I can be just as happy and contented as at the mine, perhaps even more so."
 The development work done in the mine have demonstrated body of ore over 100 feet in width for which an av- craze of SS a ton is claimed. Four shafts have been sunk, the shallowest 80 feet, the deepest 100 feet, and all connected by drifts. Lack of water prevented the building of a much larger mill. It is expected that with greater depth larger flow will be encountered, in which event the capacity of the reduction plant will be proportionately increased.
 Stockholders in the Occidental are arriving for the annual meeting to be held next Tuesday,

To Seek Oil At Indian Springs.

The oil prospects at Indian Springs, near Las Vegas, are, according to the Age, to be at last proven. Ira Mac Farland of Goldield has taken the lease of the Indian Springs ranch, which he will use for headquarters for his drilling operations. He is quoted as saying that he will have a drilling rig on the ground in ten days and will begin the long delayed exploration of that section with the least possible de- lay. MT. Mcfarland is an oil expert of considerable reputation and is conf- dent in the belief that he will open up valuable oil fields near Indian Springs. His success would be a wonderful ad- vantage to all southern Nevada, since cheap fuel would give an impetus to mining such as nothing el,e would bring. Mir. Netherlands operations will be watched with interest.

A second class of men who lose in mining are those who go into enter prises believing them to be meritorious, either without proper investigation, or upon the advice of some friend who knows little or nothing about the min ing business, or upon the reading of misleading literature. Lack of com mon business judgement is responsible for the losses of this class.
 As a matter of fact, mining is a highly specialized pursuit, which re quires a high degree of skill, not only in the development of property, but in the working of it for profits after it has been found and developed. When an ore shoot has been found and devel- oped, luck is eliminated from the prop osition. If the ore is of commercial grade, there remains simply those problems attending the extraction of it, the providing of the means of reducing it, and the proper carrying out of the plans, which means manage ment.
 A good mine with it's values in sight is just as truly an investment as any other sound industrial enterprise. Mining is very much less a speculation than agriculture, for example, after the ''luck" period has passed.-Mining News Bureau.

AnOther Side of Jarbridge Story.

William A. Kapplin, an experienced prospector, writes as follows to the Winnemucca Star concerning the new camp of Jarbridge, under date of Feb ruary Sth: There are so many differ ent stories as to the present conditions in this, the latest booming gold camp in Nevada, take this oppol tunity to give you and my acquaintances the true situation here as have observed it, and am judging the same from an unbiased point of view. I have been in the district twelve days and have looked at the Bourne, Escalon and s-Greenwaldt strikes. The Bourne strike is a good, large milling proposition, if the values hold up as depth is attained. But as they have only a few prospect holes, one twenty six-foot shaft and tunnel, which at present is in about twenty-five feet (under cover), it is impossible for any one to say what they will have.
 "As to all the hot air you see in the Salt Lake and Twin Falls papers about the ?, ,OOO, ,OOOs in sight, leave that to any sane mans reason and judgment. They have a tremendous porphry dyke about forty feet wide, which crops twenty-five to thiry, feet above the sur face. This porphyry is cut by what some call an altered rhyolite, the ore forming in the porphyry near the in- trusion. One may go on top of the porphyry dyke and occasionally see a piece of rock showing free gold. Some of the Idaho natives get highly excited over this.
 "The Bourne property has one shift of men at work The Stevens-Green- waldt strike is about one mile south of the Bourne property and is on the same trend as the Bourne strike. They have fair showing, but there is no one at work at present as far as ] could see. The Escalon strike is about one mile easterly from the Bourne BAOhhO" LhA93 bO my uiAhNs' hdo JuSJ as much merit as the Bourne property, the work so far done showing up better defined ledge than its neighbor. There are several other good looking prospects, where one can get colors, especially on the Smith ground, on part of which one of the townsites has been laid out.
 "There are all kinds of rumors of sales, but as far as I know only four deals have been made and two of these were merely options.
 "The camp is over six month old tat least, the Bourne striKe). With re- ports of the tremendous showings and the values in sight, little of the en- ergy spent in promoting townsites might be used to better advantage, or, at least, look much better to the cool headed investigator and investor cotn- ing here, if he heard a few more rounds of shots fired. There is not a fifty-foot shaft or a tunnel in the en- tire camp and not a leaser at work, as far as can learn, up to date. These are the facts.
 There are at present about 275 to 300 men in camp and vicinity. There is not one woman in camp up to date,

Why Part of the smeIter Was Idle.
(Hayden, Stone & Co.


 In one of our recent letters we sug- gested that the fact that half Of ( Id Dominion's shelter had been idle for some little time seemed to call for some explanation. We have been given a very satisfactory explanation. which, in justice to the management, We are glad to print.
 Of course, the immediate cause of the present reduced tonnage is, in large part, due to the accident to the hoist at the main shaft, but the real reason for the company's more lim- ited operations is the change in policy, due to the change in the local man. agement at the mine. The policy of the former management was to create very large tonnage, and thus secure favorable operating results when measured by the standard of the cost per ton.
 This policy involved the treatment of considerable amounts of the old slag dump, from which it is doubtful if there was any net profit, and also large amounts of custom ore, which required the importation of foreign ores for huxiDg purposes.
 While this policy did produce fa- vorable operating results on the per ton basis, it meant that the furnaces were treating a large amount of mater ial, from which there was little or no net profit, and of the company's monthly production of about 3,500,OOO pounds, probably I,OOO, 900 pounds sim ply represented the treatment of ore at cost.
 Thus, while the shelter output was large, when one came 10 figure the net profits, his estimate had to be based on but 70 to S5 per cent of the total out put.
 Now, with the new management this policy has been exactly reversed, and the matter of cost is figured entirely on ''per lb." basis. Nothing is put into the furnace unless it is figured that it will show a profit, and as in- dicating the considerable amount of barren material that was formerly treated, it is interesting to note that with only two furnaces running the company is producing two-thirds as much copper as it was formerly with four or five furnaces.
 Everything that goes into the fur mace now is reflected on the profit side of the ledger; consequently, the con- pany's profit-making production has scarcely decreased at all, and this ex- plains why, with a much smaller out put, it is earning as much money.
 It is not to be supposed, however, that the balance of the battery of six furnaces is to be allowed to stand idle. Of course, of these six furnaces, one would always be kept in reserve, and another will probably be used for profitable custom treatment. When the company gets its new hoist at its main shaft in commission, it should be in a position to keep the other four furnaces busy with ores from its own mines.
 The underground developments con- tinue favorable, especially in the west ern part of the mine, where there is a phenomenal showing of ore. While it does not seem to be the policy of the management to push production when copper is low, there is no reason why Old Dominion should not attain an av- craze production of 35,OOO,OOO lbs. of copper a year at a cost of close to nine cents a pound.
