ONE MORE OLD
 SILVER MINE ACTIVE
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 CLARKDALE, June 7. - C. w. Bennett left Clarkdale Sunday with five men to superintend the develop ment work on another old property which has recently come on the active list-the Hidden Treasure mine in the Groom Creek district. The old shaft which is being operated by a new company is near the Monte Cristo and Senator properties.
 Unwatering of the 320foot tunnel has been completed and a new pump and engine are to be installed on the property. It is the idea of the new owners to sink a winze at both ends of the shaft to secure the gold and silver ores which are said to exist there
 Shipments were made from the property in 1892 but since then the mine has been inactive as there was no practical means of shipping the ore at profit. The rejuvenation Of this old silver mine is another evi- dence of the interest being taken in old properties which have been idle for years

He ran mp to Silva and placed his hand on his shoulder, he said. and Silva turned, cursed him and attempted 10 strike him, forcing the officer 10 his knees.
