ISOLATION had loaned the city free OF

shippers declined to close the contract
when they learned that their occupa-

The shipments would have come from

he that it did not wish to be party

A case Of foot and mouth disease
was discovered at the Union Stock
Yards here yes -srday morning and
the State authorities have redoubled
vigilance in the fight on the disease.
This case was that of a COW. which
was among the considerable number
caught In the yards when they were
quarantined several days ago.
The disease was brought to Ricn.
mond In a carload of hogs and, be-
yond all doubt, originated in the
Chicago yards.

veterinarian, with two assistants, DR..
Thomas E'rasier and DR. II. $. Willis,
with the cooperation Of three Federal
inspectors. have taken every possible
precaution and DIR. Ferneyhough said
last night that he saw no reason why
rhe disease could not be confined
within the yard.
Mayor George Ainslie and Chief
Werner have promised police aid in
keeping stragglers and unauthorized
persons from the infected area. Tha
foot and mouth disease may be car
ried on the feet and is spread from
the exhalatlons and excretions OF
diseased animals. 1t Is highly con-
tagious and is carried by birds ana

Report That Ore Shoot Has Been En-
countered in Lower Tunnel.

According to information received
the first of the week, an important
strike has been made in the lower tun
mel of the Silver Gable, located on the
divide above Mullan, the workings on
which are on the Montana side, For
some time the lower tunnel, which is
about 400 feet below No, in which Is
the great zine ore shoot, has been en-
countering more or less ore, and IL
was reported recently that the com
pany would make a raise in the hope
Of breaking into the ore shoot sooner
than by continuing the drift News
received this week, however, is to the
effect that there is now fully three
feet Of high grade zinc ore in the face
and the management is confident that
1t is the beginning of the big ore shoot
that has been opened above.
A wagon road is being built to the
mine and when completed the COM
pany will begin hauling ore to the
railroad at Taft for shipment, and at
the present price of spelter 1t can be
handled at big profit.

Good Progress in Unwaterins-Will
install Sinking Pump.

A bailing tank holding 1875 gallons
Is being used by the Tarbox Mining
company to lower the water in the
shaft until such time as pump can
be installed to advantage. 1t was
expected that this could be used until
the 400 level was reached, but at a
depth of 275 feet it was found that the
shaft timbers bulged to such an ex-
tent that the bailing tank wedged, rem
dering further use of the bailing tank
impossible. 1t was therefore found
necessary to install the sinking pump
at once and this is now being done
The company has pump of ample
capacity on the ground, and While II
will necessarily involve a few days
delay in order to get 1t installed, 1t is
expected that it will lower the water
more rapidly when in working order
With the exception of this point in
the shaft, the timbers have been found
in perfect position and in a good state
of preservation, and 1t Is not believed
that the present trouble is due to any
serious damage to the shaft

HALF MILLION DOLLAR CHECK.
Almost That Amount for One Carload
of Cripple Creek Ore.

The actual amount paid the Cresson
company of Cripple Creek for the rich
car Of gold ore shipped in January
was $46S, ,63729. reproduction Of the
check for that amount Is being pre-
sented to visitors at Cripple Creek and
Colorado Springs as souvenir. Com
menting ON this wonderful shipment
the Denver Mining Record says:
There probably never will be an
other such high grade shipment from
the Cripple Creek district as the Cres-
son company sent out about three
weeks ago This is not that the ore
can not be obtained, for the company,
1t Is said. has hardly touched Its rich
vug, which it opened two months ago,
but because the mills and smelters Will
not accept ore of such high grade, and
will require in the future that 1t be
reduced to about so ounces by mixing
with ore of lesser grade. This, in fact,
is what has been done with the first
Cresson shipment
when the ore is so rich that in the
first famous shipment of the Cresson
the risk is too great for the mill men
to take, on account Of the danger o.
