MIAMI.

While Il was the intention of the
management OF the Miami Copper
company TO have its concentration fin
ished and in shape TO start at least
one unit OF its. two thousand ton mill
ready for operation by the first of jan
uary, 1911, there yet remains so many
details 10 bc attended To that 1t seems
Improbable that operations will start
before February first Everything
possible has been done in order 10
have the mill start on schedule time,
but delays in the shipment OF ma
chinery, and the other troubles Incl
dental to the construction of a plant of
this size have been encountered. How
ever. from now on there remains moth
ing but the smaller details TO be at
tended TO-. and by the first of February
all win be readiness TO begin the pro-
duction Of ore, and what will mean the
initial treatment of the low grade ores
of the Miami district. In the under
ground workings new timbers have
been put i'm the main drifts, the track
laid, and electricians are installing
trolley wire on the 420-foOt level
number of the shutes from the "ore
rooms. on the 370-foot level have been
completed these shutes ran TO the ore
bins located on the 420-foot level
where the main haulage system of the
mine has been installed. IL is not alb
solutely necessary that the under
ground work be completed when the
mill is started as IL is probably the in
tcntion of the company TO make the
first run from the dump at No. shaft /
Two raises have been put up from the
42O-foot level through this dump /.
shutes have been placed I'm these raises /
and the ore will be run to the bins and /
then hCisted 70 the surface bins. This /
dumo M one time was Of too low grade 1
to be handled with any profit but by /
mixing with a sufficient amount of ore
of a higher grade practically the whole
dump can be worked prohtably II is
estimated that there is "a sufficient /
quantity Of ore on this dump TO keep
the conccntrator running for several
MONTHS so that any great amount of
mining in the main ore body will be
for some time. The pump
ing station located at Burch, two
miles from the concentrator, received
The balance Of its electrical machinery
in the last few days. "a force of men
are installing it and making all ar
for the turning on of the
water. The three churn drills that the
company have had employed in eXplor-
ing the ground in the northwestern
part of it's holdings have completed
to date thirty-two drill holes, the drills
have reached an average depth Of six
hundred feet. The drills are working
the usual twelve-hour drift, and
making about thirty-five feet of pro-
grcss for each drill a shift. These
holes are being sunk for the purpose
Of determining the extent Of the ore
body in that dircction.-Globe Silver ]

OIL MAGNATE OWNS A GHOST
IL Was the Prize Package Given With
Mexican Palace That II. Clay
Pierce Bought.

II. Clay Pierce, ST. Louis oil mag
nate, is now the owner of the Borda
Gardens at Ceurnavaca, Mexico, and
may be said to be the custodian of the
ghost of the Borda Gardens. Nothing
was said about It when Mr.. Pierce
paid $4,000 for the historic spot
which was the favorite summer haunt
of Emperor Macmillan and Queen
Carlotta in the days of Mexico's splen-
dor as an empire.
But It is to be supposed that the
ghost, having occupied the gardens
without leave these many years, will
continue to do so, and an occasional
glimpse of the ghostly intruder may
be vouchsafed to the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Pierce after Mr.. Pierce has
spent 100000 in restoring the gar
dens and they are ready to entertain
their friends there.
Mrs. Pierce, who will be the mis-
tress of the mansion of the mad en-
press, is an Edwardsville (Ill) wom-
an, the daughter of Maj. William M.
Russell Pickett Before her marriage
TO Mr. Pierce she was Mrs. Virginia
Pickett Burrowes.
The mansion, in recent years, has
divided into several suites and has
been let to tenants. These say that
they often see the ghost.
Whose ghost is It. and why It haunts
the Borda Gardens nobody pretends
to know, but II is the belief of the 10
cality that the ghostly appearances
have some relation to buried treasure
and dark crime of the long ago.-St
Louis Post-Dispatch.

said. IF You can't tell me what you

One OF the men got his foot inside
the door and Nine. Deserves suddenly
reS6embered that her husband had
sdma very valuable samples upstairs

otherwise 1 will tell you. We come
from police headquarters and have a
warrant for the arrest of NJ. Paul Des-

caves, and the men took advantage of
