OOO,OOOS, divided into as many shares of the par value of Is each.
 The company has taken over what is known as the Davis group of silver-lead mines, consisting of eight claims, which are situated at Aurum, Nevada, in the Silver Canyon mining district.
 A force of men will immediately be put to work by the company to grade a wagon road over the mountain from Aurum to Bennett canyon, over which the ore will be hauled to the Warm Springs station on the Nevada North ern railroad and shipped to the Salt Lake valley smelters for treatment.
 There is now mined, on the dumps and in sight more than l 1000 tons of ore carrying gold, silver and lead values, and which will be immediately ship ped by the company.
 There is more than LOGO feet of de- velopment work done on the property. and the company will further develop it and sink new working shaft.
 During the early silver days of White Pine county, there were three silver mines operated in the Silver Canyon district, from which there was taken out and milled at Aurum more than 200, ,OOO$ of rich silver ore. These old silver mines adjoin the Davis group, and it is possible that in the develop ment of their ground the Greek Amer ican Mines company will encounter some of the bonanza silver ore.

Wire Gold Specimens
 From Farncomb Hill.

A remarkably fine specimen of wire gold was recently found Tn that won derful emporium of gold specimens, the mines of Farncomb hill, near Breckenridge. This specimen came from the Boss mine, on the north flank of the hill. It was found in one of a series of very n4rrow, vertical seams iu shale above a sill, or nearly horizon tai intrusion of porphyry. The gold mass is about ' in. long by 3 l-2 wide and l-4 in. thick. The mass consists of dense network of intertwining crystalline gold wires, some over an inch in length. The mass resembles a quantity of tilagree gold lace. Attach ed to the twisted and tangled wires are little bud-like shoots of perfect in- dividual gold crystals, which might be compared 10 golden fruit hanging on golden boughs. The gold when first taken out has little resemblance 10 the noble metal, it being heavily coated with brown iron oxide, and it requires a man of experience with these peculiar deposits of Farncomb hill to be able to detect the presence of gold at all. When the mass is sep arated from the quartz and allowed to lie day in strong solution of hydro huorine acid the oxide and gangue matter is removed and the tangled wires appear as bright, yellow metal.
 The veins or veinlets containing this gold are not over an inch thick and consist of quartz and iron oxide in which, on cross-section, wires of gold can be detected. Although the verti- cal vein Assures extend down to and at right angles to the intrusive slll of porphyry, the free gold found is never at contact with the igneous rock, but in narrow lense some feet above it. It has been suggested that the igneous rock containing the gold elements was at the time of it's intrusing too hot to allow gold to be deposited at it's i'm mediate contact with the shale, and the gold either in volatilized or solu- tion condition arose or was forced up some distance into the Assure and was deposited as soon as the conditions of the Assure were cool enough to permit it. The only metal associated with the gold besides the iron oxide is a stain of green copper carbonate.
 Farncomb hill consists of one or more main central dikes or stocks of gold bearing porphyry, from which these sills or horizontal sheets emanat- ed as branches from the trunk of a tree. On the south side of the hill the ores found in the porphyry breccia are mostly low-grade gold-bearing sul- phides of iron or iron pyrites, with a little copper pyrite. But at the On tario mine in this slope magnificent specimens of leaf and wire gold have been found under much the same geo. logical conditions as those at the Boss

more than four years without a shut down, the result being a large amount of underground work and considerable ore bodies opened up. The ore is sil- ver-gold, but in the shape of sulphide and thus not amenable for the free milling plant on the property. This plant, by the way, is one of the hand somest l have seen, equipped with 4 Nissen stamps of 1850 pounds each, and the whole plant is operated by Fairbanks Morse gasoline engine. An adit tunnel has been run some 1900 feet, and at the face there are 400 feet of backs. The tunnel was driven in ore, and is about as crooked as it well could be, but in this way there have been developed a number of fine ore chutes, some carrying very high grade. The trend of the work has always been
 toward the Buzzard's Shadow, from
 the surface on which Mir. Molder took out considerable money years ago. A chute of very high grade was develop ed few weeks ago. and this is at 400 feet of depth, the same ore chute on the Shadow from which the early strike was made, so there seems a certainty that this is one of the most valuable ore chutes of the district. The ore carries in fault Assure. There is DOT phyry and shale and the ore is often found in the shales. Considerable lime is found, and in a recent report Lamar Cobb states that the mOnzanite porphy- ry of the Morenci district prevails un- derground in the New York-Arizona. The vein is from 6 inches to 6 feet and more in width. When the mill was put in the ore was entirely free, but in short time it changed to sulphide, so that now they will put in a cyanide addition, it being the intention to use tube mill for fine grinding. This property is on the west side of Copper Mountain, wherein are the principal mines of the Morenci field, and as the trend is always to the west, it is the general presumption that the New York-Arizona will with depth find these Morenci ore bodies. The whole country is heavily mineralized. and the work done all tends to show the property up excellently.-Copper Era.

Conditions at the Eudora Bell.

A Salt Lake City dispatch says:-With the main tunnel now in 1900 feet, and but 30 feet more to go to get under the old incline shalt which years ago produced much ore which gave up values as high as 1000 to 5000 ounces of silver to the ton, conditions at the Eudora- Bell property in American Fork canyon are particularly interest ing right now, according to Dr. T. H. Monohan, one of the directors. who has returned from taking a corps of surveyors up to ascertain this informa- tion, as well as other data relative to the ground and workings.
 The face of the drift is still in ore of good grade for milling; in fact, will ship, but the returns are not up to what was expected. The face is just 26O feet vertically from the surface, but nearly 1000 feet deep on the dip of the vein to the cellar of the old shaft. This will give an immense amount of backs.
 Two carload shipments have been made since the snow melted this late spring. The 5O-ton cars averaged close to 2,OOOs each, the ore running about 26 ounces silver and 50 per cent lead. Most mine owners would consider 4OS rock pretty good, but this was dlsap- pointment to the management of Eu- dora-B Bell. who were looking for thous- and-ounce silver values or better. It may come when the true vein is reach ed on its pitch within the next 20 feet. The high-grade silver was found in a vein between the lime and quartz'te. The men are making three feet day through the low-grade ore. From now on the hunt for the high-grade shoot will be vigorously pushed. In the meantime, the best rock is being sack ed, and will be forwarded to the smelt- CT when it is necessary to get out of the way.

The Government and the
 Metal Miner.

An impressive meeting was held in Denver Saturday evening. The legis- lative hall of the Colorado capitol was thrown open for the use of the mining men of the state aud, under the aus pices of the Colorado Chapter of the American Mining Congress it was used for public reception to Mir. Joseph A. HolGcs, -.cz~,or of the Fed eral Bureau of Mines. Representa- tives of various counties presented their views as to what the metal miners de- sire of the government through the agency of the newly established bureau, and Dr. Holmes responded. While the meeting was Colorado affair, it may be accepted as typical of the west. A similar reception to the director will be held this week in Salt Lake City. At the last session of Congress no specific appropriation of money was made to start the bureau to work upon technological investigations in behalf of the metal mining industry, although a small amount of the funds available might, under the terms of the budget. be so utilized. A specific proposal to this end was cut out of the measure as originally introduced in Congress. In the light of this circumstance Dr. Holmes was, of course, unable to make any promises. The Denver meeting emphasized its satisfaction with the administration of the Bureau, so far as it has gone. Clearly enough, Dr.. Holmes has the cordial support of the west.
 It is useless to hold that the metal mining interests are not entitled to ex- pect the general recognition that is implied in this agitation. At the bot tom the form of the recognition must be that of the necessary appropriation to be used along metallurgical lines and to help in the utilization of ores that are not now within the range of profit. As to the details of the work, these must develop themselves. Sui ficient unto the day is the acknowl- ment of the general principle and an insistence upon unity of action upon the part of the metal mining interests
 We should advise the metal mining interests to take cognlzance of the ad- vance that has been made by the Canadian government in the direction of encouraging the metal mining in- dustry; also of its especially friendly attitude toward the business. Canada has less than 10 per cent of the popu- lation of the United States, but, for the present fiscal year, the appropria- tions for the Canadian Department of Mines are more than one-third the amount which our Congress has pro- vided for all the work of the Geologi- cal Survey and Bureau of mines dur ing the same period. What is known as the Mines Branch ot the Canadian Department is, among other things, directed to make ''such chemical, me-

Engineer and OiIer
Save Lives.

A Globe dispatch says: At shaft "A' of the Old Dominion mine the other day cool-headed engineer and a quick thinking oiler saved the lives of a double-cage-load of men in thrilling race between life and death.
 The Old Dominion machinery is prob ably as safe and we'll kept as any in the world-which goes to show that an accident is something that may occur anywhere. The accident that occurred at shaft "A' is one of those which no man may forsee. Pipemen, trackmen and other workers of the mine had been hoisted, and the double-decked cage was filled with shift bosses and others on the upward lift when the en- zine got beyond control at the 6OO-foot level. It dropped within few feet of the l2OO- foot level before the load of human freight was caught by the be- roic efforts of the men in the engine room.
 At the 6O0-foot level the eager lifted the bar to allow a couple of waiting men to step on the cage. Just as the men were about to place their feet on the cage the latter dropped with light ming speed. Had any of those about to board it lost their balance they would have fallen and been mangled in the wall.plates of the shaft.
 The lever in the engineers room be- came disintergrated as a result of the pin holding the spring grip dropping out. The result was that the ''dog" that catches in the ratchet fell out of place and behind the brake lever.
 Unable to "put on the brake," the engineer was for a second or two in the awful position of a man holding use less lever while in the cage more than a dozen fellow beings were apparently being hurled to death.
 The oiler, hero, who should be given credit for unusual presence of mind, seized a bar and threw it beneath the misplaced dog, and lifted it out of it's place of obstruction to the brake lever with the last ounce of his strength His lifting power may be attested by the circumstance that the bar was bent as if levered by two men.
 The instant the brake lever was set free by the oilers lifting the engineer swung down the brake lever, the brake seized the rapidly swinging drum, and the cage with it's human freight was stayed on it's swifC drop to destruction.
 Had the "sump" OF bottom of the shaft been filled with water there would have been a slight chance for the men on the cage, but it was well emptird, only few feet of water be- ing left between the rock bottom and the dropping humans.
 The quick action of the Oiler and the engineer was all that saved the men from eternity.
 At the lOOO-foOt level the cable was vibrating with such violence that the men waiting on that level to be hoist ed ran away from the station, feeling certain that the cable had broken and that its end would swing into the sta tion and batter them to death.
 The engineers name is James Me Clean. The name of the oiler is Ar chic Olsen.
