Correspondence of The Robesonan.
Lumberton, r. F. D. 2, Jan. 81
Did you see anybody in town
Wednesday? On account of sick
ness there were not many from
this section.
Mrs. Powell seems to gradually
get worse.
Our deepest sympathy goes
out to the family Of MIR. Murchi-
son Gray in the loss Of his little
child, which sad event occurred
last Monday.
Among those sick up here are
Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Powell. Mrs.
Jack and Mr. Biggs' family.
! Mr.. Wilburn Boone and sister,
Miss Hettie, made a flying trip
to this section Tuesday.
We do think it burning
shame to a civilized nation that
when child suffers with ear
ache there can't be a ten-cent
bottle Of laudaumn obtained
without paying a doctor for a
prescription to get it, but this
same child can purchas a bag
Of tobacco and be handed a pack
age Of cigarette papers to poison
his system and that Of his little
companions without a word from
anybody. We do think it is time
for the voters to look before they
vote and vote for those who will
work fer the good of the people
in general and not for those who
belong to a small class. We do
not approve Of preacher vino
breaches against the use of to-
bacco and then use it himself.
We CO wish there was a law
made to punish anybody who lets
a person under Il years Of age
have any tobacco in any form,
whether given or sold.
The Union begins Friday.

CONCENTRATES.

Considerable work Is being done in
the Eldorado district in Utah county
The most active mines there now are;
Union Chief. Spring Lake. Picayune,
Wasntch. Eagle Copper and Eldorado.
Word from Chafey. New. declares
that the famous Black Hole mine at
that place has been closed down for
lack of funds Out of this mine Ed
S. Chafey took 100000 In six months
1t is said that the ore that is now
being taken out is of a lower grade
and although profitable needs milling
Mr.. Chafey Is said to be in San Fran
cisco endeavoring TO finance the COM
pany.
On account OF a new smelling con-
tract the Iron Blossom company will
begin the shipment OF 75 tons of ore
day from its south workings. Produc-
ton WAS suspended in that portion of
the mine several weeks ago on account
OF the expiration OF the contract which
called for this low grade silver-copper
ore. In the Iron Blossom No. 3, or
north shaft sinking Is now going on
to the 50O-foot level. This Is to en-
able the more economical working OF
the ore as II has dipped below the
fO0-foot level. In the No. l shaft sink
ing Is To be resumed and the shaft
sent from the 1.500-foot level to the
1000
II is understood that within a short
time the management OF the Inspira-
ton property will have a report from
its engineer showing the amount OF
ore blocked out. The company has
been averse to saying how much block
ed out ore the property contains Ac-
cording to one OF the interests In the
company the concern has 100000 In
the treasury and 100000 shares OF stock.
The outstanding stock Is 500. 600 shares.
The sale of the treasury stock would
bring s2,000.0O0 and would be more than
sufficient to build a 5.0G0-ton mill With
the 100000 now in the treasury there
Is enough to insure complete deveIop-
ment and equipment.

MASON VALLEY IS
IMPROVING FAST
Orc Is Now Being StoDcd Mt Mine ana
Put on Dump In Preparation ior
Railroad and Smelter.

According TO Information coming In
from the Ycrington district the Mason
Valley mine is improving rapidly ana
more ore is being found than was
over dreamed of Ore is now be-
ing found in many new places In the
mine and the ore bodies that nave
been found arc proving up much larger
than was expected.
The upralses have been finished ana
this work has developed some very me
ore bodies. The ore bodies developed
through the upralses are separate ana
distinct from the other two ore bodleS
in the mine
LEV Humphrics. consulting engineer
for The Mason Valley property. has just
returned from trip TO Arizona on pro-
fcssional business. He declares thal
he knows but little of the work al the
mine not having been there Tor some
time. He declares that the latest word
from the mine is that II Is now stop
Ing ore and putting II on the dump
This Is an excellent indication of what
the company Intends 10 do In the fu-
ture
Although no definite answer can be
secured as To the building OF smelt-
er, II seems almost certain that some
arrangements have been mndo and the
deal safely financed The Boston stock
holders arc generally pretty close IN
touch with the affairs of the company
and when there Is strong demand TOT
stock there IL Ia almost certain that
there is some big development on.
The Nevada Copper Belt railroad has
been practically finished into Mason
valley and will be pushed on ut once
to the Nevada Douglas, Blue Stone and
Mason Valley mines. IL Is believed that
this can be finished up within the next
30 days and by that time full details
of smeltcr viii have been made and
the work started.
As the road now goes within a mile
or two of the Western Nevada mine,
