Bath brothers, who have lease
on the Union claim of the Liti-
ton Hill Merger Mining company,
have this week completed the in
stallation of an electric hosting
plant and are now hauling ore to
the surface.
Two fine shoots of ore have been
developed, four feet and eight feet
wide, averaging over $40 a ton
and giving every indication of per-
manency.
The last milling of 279 tons of
ore from this lease yielded $27 a
ton, and the lease has in all pro
duced over $4,000 and promises
to be a large and continuous pro-
Queer in the future.
There are no less than nine sets
of leasers working on this company

Busy Days at the Placers.

Thomas Wilson, familiarly known
as "Dry-wash" Wilson, is installing
a belt bucket conyeyor at his shaft
to more economically raise the gray
ell from his workings in place of the
present self-dumping bucket ar
rangement. The plant is at present
washing from 80 to 40 yards of
gravel day, said to be worth from
IS to 81 yard, with occasional
streaks of better grade. About rs
men are employed.
From the Mustang Extension down
the gulch to below Central, there
are ten outfits operating, all of
which are making good money.
A. A. Bissell has sold his interest
in his ground above Wilson's work
ings and taken over the Fulkerson
ground near Central. On this prop
erty the shaft is sunk to bedrock
and the channel has been drifted
on and crosscut for 40 feet and
some splendid gravel is being raised
to the surface. 1t is difficult to
procure actual figures of the output
from the placer groundse but it is
known that for the month of May
total of over 100000 was pro.
duced.

$54 ton.
This ore was taken from the 800
foot level, where the ore body is
from 3 to 10 feet wide, the pay
shoot averaging four feet in width
and the balance of the ore averag-
ing about SIS. OF this grade ore
there is fully $25O,00O worth on
the dumps and blocked out in the
mine.
Prior to the granting of the lease
to the present owners it produced
$50, 1000, and since then it has yield
ed $177,352, making a total pro-
duction of $236,352.
Out of the royalties received the
Big Four Mining company has paid

Macdonald Leases the War Eagle

Macdonald Leases the War Eagle.
Malcolm L. Macdonald, the well
known Nevada mining engineer, last
week secured froRr the Humphrey
Brothers lease on the War Eagle
claim and will commence operations
at once.
This claim is splendidly located
on Litigation hill, in the heart Of
the mining zone, in the direct trend
of the best veins in the camp.
1t was notable IN the early days
for the specimen ore on the sur
face, and unless all signs fail, should
prove a big producer in the very
near future.
Most of the leasers and prospect
ors of this vicinity think very well
of this lease, and are frank to ad-
NIT that some very high-grade ore
will be encountered.

two other leasers are in operation.
On blocks and z, B. V. Tarash

when Indians were around by the
actions of the mules. They could al

At that time, which was in 1855,
Mr. Scott used to rise at two o'clock
in the morning to drive his mails

was credited as one of the best

He also went further out west.

Rock Island. H., November b
Rev. w. J. Leach, recently appoint
ed to the pastorate OF the Spencer
Memorial Methodist Episcopal church
of this city, has forsaken the clergy
for newspaperdom. Resigning his
charge here he will begin his jour
nalistic career in Pekin, Ill, his
former home, as a reporter for a
local newspaper.
The clergyman came to Rock
Island and found confronting him
congre gational debt Of approximate
ly $1,000. The task of liquidating
this Indebtedness of his parish over
whelmed him. 1t was too much to
expect q single clergyman to accom-
plish, he thought, and resigned
forthwith.
Mr.. Leach's new job as news
gatherer has in it no element or
high finance, and with this phase
of the work, at least, he is well
pleased.
