During the summer our mills and

Eiompany made a final test of their

bone of the machinery is being re-
ranged and new classifier is be-
aig installed. The ore is of such
Fature that neither method alone

tble that both may be used.
Not long since a fourth carload
/ high-grade ore was shipped by
Ills company. AS shipped, this ore
.;sayed approximately $500 a ton.
It is reported that the Arizona
inc is in better condition for sue
,ssful working than it has been at
NY time since operations were sus-
'anded in 1879.
To appreciate what this company
lis done, one would need to visit
Tie scene of their operations. Even

Fork is completed, it doesn't show
lie details of expense.
Buildings have been put up for
BE comfortable housing of their
Employees; air pipe and water pipe
a1es have been laid; electric plant
stalled for lighting mines and
flildings; a milling plant with
sily capacity of forty tons has
zen built, added to, and altered
lveral times; stables, shops, office
,lildings, bunk houses, ETC., all have
zen supplied.
All this has been done under
,ore than ordinary difficulty. All
saterial and supplies are transport
from Mill City by horses and
agons, and have to be hauled up a
FADE too steep for trucks. 1t takes
re or six days TO make the round

The persistency shown by this
3mpany is certainly worthy of sue
Ass in the highest degree.
During the fall some of our peo-
e have had two nerve wracking
Experiences with rabid coyotes. One
has found trying to get through a
dreen door of a residence, after
ghting with the watchdog. An
cher engaged in combat with a
1aluable dog belonging to w. G..
grown. Coyotes and dogs were
slot. 1t is a pity to have to kill
ogs after they have fought so vail
ntly for their masters.
n, Coyotes are numerous in this sec
on this fall. 1t is feared there
nil be considerable loss of cattle
com the bite of the rabid ones.
