St. Agnes Eve-January 20.

Tonight is St Agnes Eve. To-mor-

saint more revered by the Roman Cath
Ole Church than ST. Agnes, a virgin
martyr. who suffered severe persecution
under DiocIesian. Upon the place Of her
supposed birth. without the walls of
Rome, a church was built and another
was dedicated to her within the city.
The feast of ST. Agnes was formerly
held as, in a special degree, a holiday
for women. tt was thought possible for

A mining engineer who has just
returned from Sonora states that the
Black Mountain company, operating
about fifty miles east of Magdalena,'
Sonora. is preparing to discontinue
mining and milling at their Sierra
Prieta mine. the principal workings
of the company. All operations will
cease on May list. and from that time
on he attention of the company will
be directed towards making silver
mine out of the former gold property.
For some time this company has
been meeting with failure IN earning
anything whatever from its extensive
operations on account of the very low
grade of their ore, which, formerly,
was considered well worth milling
and he earnings of the company GER
tainly reflected the worth of the ores
handled. True. it was always consider,
ed as a low grade proposition, but
the company erected an immense mill
and cyanide plant for the handling
OF the ore. This was number OF

mors have been current for several
weeks that a suspension had been
contemplated by the company. but
there was no yerihcation until Satur-

the smelter were notified that the
smelter would shut down the follow

No Official statement could be OBJ

that the suspension at the smelter

mine, operations would continue I'M
derground.
1t is understood that outside Of
the reported shortage of ore reserves
smelter operations have proved I'M
successful because OF the poor quail
ity of the water jackets. leakages in
which have necessitated a number Of
temporary suspensions. The Daily
Globe several weeks ago stated that
the underground developments at the

the construction of the smelter was
premature. a statement which was

in which acknowledgement of these
facts was made.
