The story seemel ipe 1fAie, for it seemed imposs asle aolqt 1ahe com mander of man. Hc war would commit so brutal an atrocity as to lombard a city with thousands of inhabitants and millions of dollars worth of valuable property. Later developments demonstrated that the report had arise from a mis- apprehension of what did actually occur Monday evening and Tues day morning at the Sinaloa metro polls.
 To give a clear description of what happened short geographical description is necessary: The city is situated upon a peninsula and an island, the latter two connected by breakwater on the ocean front, and the peninsula, connected with the mainland by long causeway, nearly a mile in length. Both the peninsula and the island, with the breakwater face the Pacific ocean. The city Is built on the point of the peninsula, the island, and the breakwater connecting them, which latter embraces several city blocks. The city is built up to the ocean front, and extends across the island, the breakwater and the point of the peninsula to the harbor behind the island and the breakwater. The causeway con- meeting the city with the mainland cuts across an estuary, and the city end of the causeway is fully a mile away from the nearest houses, and fully two miles from the heart of the city. The railway depot and round house are on the mainland, some distance eastward from that end of the causeway. To permit the flow of the tides there is bridge in the center of the cause way, fully a half mile west from the railway station. A force of GnSurrectOS approached the city over the causeway. At the bridge that force was met by detachment of soldiers from one of the forts on the ocean front and quite fight ensued, the insurgents endeavoring to force their way over the bridge and on into the city. The gunboat lying in the harbor took a hand and opened fire on the attacking party, landing among them several shells. Before getting the right range some of the shells landed in the vicinity of the depot. As in duty bound the railway officials at Mazatlan wired to President Ran, dolph at Tucson an account of what had occurred. As the report went over the wires it was heard by operators all along the line who mentioned it to friends-and from that was spread far and wide an alarming tale of bombardment of the city. The actual fact was that no gun was fired toward the city and no shell landed anywhere within two miles of it.
 1t seems that the attacking party was successful and forced it's way into the city. Another force en- tered also over the Culiacan road, which traverses the peninsula and reaches the city from the north

ANACONDA IS GOOD

pounds OF copper monthly from it's own

IL should be able to continue at this rate
almost indefinitely, The ground the COM

Ing ore that averages about 80 per cent
II is now producing copper almost as
cheaply as 1t did twenty or twenty-five
years ago when ore containing per cent

The important factor In all vein min
Ing copper districts Is the persistence
OF values at depth. Although a great
deal OF new ore has been discovered dur

deep workings. Considerable excitement
was aroused five years ago when large

their values. therefore, II Will require

depths as have been attained already by
the Calumet & Hecla. Tamarack and

to come.

Several months ago a number of we'll
known Salt Lake mining men, among
whom were William Pitts. Harry Earl
and Murray c. Godbe. had their atten-
,ion ,\s>d TO a copper prospect in tho
Bristol district OF Nevada, which was
highly recommended to them by the late
William Lloyd. There a splendid
showing OF ore on the surface and the
property held the extension of the famous
Gypsy vein OF the Day-Bristol company,
from which vein the Lloyd & Cook lcas-
ers, several years ago, extracted in three
months time ore that netted them S175.-

Ger the payment OF a 25 per cent royalty
and a fiftyseven- mile wagon haul To the

There are few organizations within the

HALIFAX CUTS INTO

Shaft Work UncoverS Some
Mineralized Quartz at a
Good Depth.

What promises TO be a most important
development IN the property Of the Hall
fax-Tonopah Mining company has taken
place this week at n depth OF 1875 feet
in the big triple compartment shaft,
says tho Tonopah Miner At this depth

of this with the rhyolite above. quartz

tom OF the shaft. and It's full extent Is

shots, which means the blowing out OF
eight-foot holes and ten-foot cuts, shows
that the entire shaft, breaking about

the SHAFT cut vein carrying promising
values but the present development is or
far more Importance, for the reason that
IL is in the ore-bearing formation and at
greater depth, and should a body OF com
merclal ore be developed It's effect on
the entire Tonopah district. especially the
eastern zone cannot be overestimated,
The sinking of the Halifax shaft has
been in several respects the most en-
tcrprislng work ever undertaken In Tono-
pah 1t was believed that a depth of
1900 feet would be required before the
orc bearing formation was encountered
and the necessary capital for this was
subscribed with an assurance Of success
that was remarkable. The sinking Of the
shaft to this depth has been accom-
plishcd in record time at n cost OF StI a
foot to its present depth, practically $780,
900 having been expended to date on this
work and surface equipment. That the
management Is confident OF ultimate sue
cess Is proved by the fact that new and
more powerful electric holstinS plant has
been ordered and plans for a 12o-foot
steel headframe for the shaft have been
drawn In the fun expectation that the
Halifax will develop into one of the great
mines of Tonopah.
