WEEKLY MINING REPORT.
The Fermanenl Wntcr ltesion Fount!
In Urand Central.
The permanent water region in llie
Grand Ctntrnl mine has been found, and
at 18 feel below where first struck, the flow
became so strong thitt work hud to be
suspended last Wednesday, and now it lms
raised up to the point where the first seep
age was discovered, muking 18 feet in
the shaft. -No further sinking can be done
until a pump is put in to bundle the con.
stantly increasing flow as they go down.
Mr. E. B. Uugc, superintendent of the
mine, is now East, having been called
away by the death of his mother, which
occurred in Lowell, Mass. Ho will be ab
sent a month or six weeks, and until his
retum no decisive action will be taken as
ilu whether pumping machinery will be
Jmmedlaicly put in, or the work of (level
opmcut be continued from the COO foot
pevel upwards. It is to be hoped Unit Mr.
(Gage will decide to follow up the import
Ant work that he bus thus far so success
fully carried out in the systematic devel
opment and working of this great prop.
eriy. Should ho decide upon pumping
machinery whin ho leturns, it will take
at least ninety days to get it In working
order, tliertJire, under the most favorable
clicumsiancts, at leitt four months must
elapse before any sinking can he done.
There is a very great interest foil in this
matter by every miner in the district,
for the reason that so much de
pends upon, results below water, level.

Grand Central mine, and that is, the ledge
is quite as strong on the 000 foot level as
at any point above, and quite as well de
fined. Another mutter has also been ob
served, which was noted in our report last
week, that the ore has become nearly all
.free gold, the silver being very light.
..However this may bo to-day, no deductions
-us to the future can be drawn from this
tact as to what the fute of the mine will

The combination itlr shaft (incline),
since its connection with the slopes, creates
the most perfect ventilation, the druft ol

now 85 feet deep, and being still pushed
ahead. Tlio platform on which the hoisting
engine Is placed is bejng pushed to com
pletion asrapidly ns possible, and the tit st

Contact.
Tho mine is developing well. They have
a large body of ore that will mill about
$G5or$70iu the bottom of the shaft. A
huge body of good oro has been struck
near the line of tho Stonewall, which
proves the ore-bearing continuity of i lie
ledge for at least 1,400 lect cast ol where
the titbt rich discovery was made. It is
more thuu probable that this will prove
one of tho great mines of the district from
the fact that it is a true contact vein be
tween lime and quartzite, with true vein
filling between.

Work progresses at the usual rate on this
mine, and the huge amount of oro already
taken out attests tho capacity of tho ledge
to produce good results for the future.

To
so many and rich lodes and deposits
of copper exist, and where so many
new works are being erected for the
reduction of tlio ore, thero is deep
interest felt in the production of the
metal in other localities liable to
affect the stability of the market.
There aro some exceedingly inter
esting statistics in paper number
tliroe, on "The History of tityper
Mining of Lake Superior," published
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal, of Now York, Marcii 25th. In
speaking of the Calumet & Hecla,
tho author, Charles E. Wright, com
missioner of mineral statistics for
the Slate of Michigan, says.
At the close of .18(35 its stock was

been $32.50; while the (h"nt Imd
called for lo it share, am' 'iat' re
turned that amount to its sha,-eJoid-ers
in the sliapo of dividends. .Since
then tlieso have been continued quur
terly, with occasional extra divi
dends, making, in tho aggregate,
0,350,000, the mine paying besides
for tho grandest equipment in the
possession of any one mining com
pany on tho continent. By tho ex
tensive, use of power drills 02 Rand
drills being at woik and an elabo
rate plant for pumping, hoisting,
overground transport-ition, stamping
and dressing, this mine handles over
1,000 tons of rock per day, almost all
of it being rich enough to be pro
fitably treated. It is thus in a po
sition to produce annually from
15.000 to 10,000 tons of refined cop

ing; and as none of tho others ap
proach it in magnitude or aro similar
enough in character of tho. rook
worked, it vWould not be possible to
make approximately fair deductions
from their results. To give a"n idea,
however, wo may assume that as the
dividends amounted to $2,000,000 in
1881, on a product of 32,000,000
pounds, the balance of receipts from
sales ofcopber (say 5;ti00,000) was

In addition to a. brief history of
this celebrated mine we have arrived
at the most important factor in this
whole question, and that 'is, tho cost
or." production to this one company,
which alono stands in a position to
fix the price of copper in the markets
of the United States. It will be seen'
that should the supply increase to
such an extent that the price would
fall below 11 cents per pound, Calu
met & Hecla will either bo. com
pelled to close down or run at a
loss. None of the other Lake Su
perior companies are in a condition
to produce copper at -so low a figure
as this mammoth corporation. The
question with Arizona companies is,
can they produce copper at n lower
rate than 11 cents per pound? We
do not know how it is with the-CiiftS'rir
mine, but can answer for the Copper
Queen. The conditions surrounding
this company are such that the abso
lute cost of production and market
ing does not, probably, reach 10 cents,
and possi' ly not over 8 cents per
pound, aud . with more extensive
works and a railroad to Bisbee, by
which freights wold bo lessened,
the actual cost might be reduced to
as low a figure as G cents. Of the
Santa Catalina companios no esti
mate can bo mado until their fur
naces aro running and the tractabll
ity of the oro for reduction is estab
lished. So it is of the Peabody and
Black Bear companies, and in fact all
others than the Clifton, whose repu
tation has long been established.
Should the many mines in this terri
tory that are now being put upon a
working, and wo trust, paying basis,
turn out anywhero near so well as
Copper Queen and Clifton then Lake
Superior will have to do better in the
future thai) she has in the past or
submit to a gradual extinguishment.
The following is the latest New
York quotations and remarks on tho
subject of. copper, taken from tho
Engineering and Mining Journal:
Tha deadlock between producers
and consumers still continues, and
tho situation remains practically as
it has been for weeks. Nothing has
been done, and the mining companies
insist firmly on l!)c., while actually
small lots of Lake came into the
market at 1919.jo. Arizona cop
per is commencing to assume a. posi
tion in the markets, and while it is
not sold at figmes quite as high as
those of Lake, those who have tried
it confirm the inferences whiih may
bo drawn from the reports and chem
ical analyses as to its quality. The
concessions' now mado are those inci
dent to the introduction of a new
brand. The Ansonia Brass and Coo
per company, who get tho Copper
Queen black copper, refine it and
market the excess over their own re
quirements. To their plant of three
six-ton ordinary refilling furnaces,
they have recently added, at great
expense, a Siemens legenerative teu
ton refining furnace, the first one put
up in the country for the purpose.
The object has been to avoid by this
means the changes in tho pitch of
the metal, which so easily occur in
ordinary refining, and to secure uni
formity of product, an important de
parture. Their copper is quoted at
1,9 cents.
Now that the bosses have returned
from their bootless raid and the boys
have been compelled to take a back
seat, business around the sheriffs of
fice languishes. How would it look
if the next expedition were sent out
after iho "gentlemon" participating
in tho last Bisbee stage robbery,
who aro known to be in tho neigh
borhood, and for whom warrants
have beon issued ? And would the
gentlemen composing tho last pose
go ? And if they went would they
bring them in ? We await a reply
to these qouries.
Tiik maudlin sentimentality dis
played by tho Nugget over a dead
murderer and thief is only equaled
by tho sickening sympathy always
shown by that journal for a liyo one.
When tho sentiment of this com
munity is such that it will not toler
ate robbers and assassins or their
sympathizers, wo may expect pros
perous and peaceable tunes, and not
before.

Oxford Crew Victorious.
London, April 1. In the boat
race to-day the Oxford crew won by
one length.
Later. The Oxfords won by six
boat lengths. The Cambridge crew
was first to come out on tho river;
they took the Middlesex side. Final
betting was five to one on Oxfords.
The boats started at one minute past
one o'clock; the Cambridgo was the
first to take to the water and im
mediately led by full half a
boat's length but was caught
and passed by the Oxford boat be
fore fifty yards had been traversed.
At the soap, works, one mile and a
half from the stalling point, the Ox
ford crew were leading by two
lengths; at Hammersmith Bridge, two
furlongs further on, they were four
lengths in front, of the "Cambridge,
and off Cheswick Mall, tho latter
seemed to be fairly done with. The
Oxford crew finished in good form;
they won ps they pleased. The Can
bridge men were exhausted at the
finish, and their rowing was ii regu

says: Another political crisis appears
to be threatening in Madrid. Segas
ta's position is much vveakdned by
the growing popularity of several of
his colleagues and the heterogeneous
character of tho cabinet. The hos
tilo feeling is very strong in the pro
vinces, especially against the minis
ters of finance, ot the inteiior and
of justice. A stormy debate was ex
peoted in the congress on the pro
posal of the democrats and conserv
atives to move a vote of censure on
the ministers, and Segasta, at the ur
gent request of his colleagues, de
termined te infer Irom tho resistance
to both opposition and the malcon
tents of his own party, that the liber
als aro losing ground both at court
and in public. The advantage they
won in debate is only temporary.

Dick Little, tho train robber, surren
dered to tho authorities under the
following conditions: He was to re

the governor, be paid 81,0011 cash im
mediately on gi"ing himself up, and
receive $5,000 more in the event of
fivo train robbers at large being cap

Little has received $1,000, being part
of tho 85,000 paid Police Commis

Little's pals be effected, Craig and
Governor Crittenden, between whom
the plan was evolved, will receive in
the neighborhood of $200,00i, the

Fulton, which conveyed Captain .Vc
Intyre and party to tho wreck of the
Uoiden City, has just returned. A
diver went down, but could do i.oth
ing. The wreck lies in twenty-five
feet of water, the hull up stream, and
the current so swift that all efforts to
Ho through tli cabins by the clivers
proved fruitless. No other dead
bodies have been recovered since the
one mentioned yesterday, whi "li has
been identified as that of Mis. Anna

Milwaukkk, Wis., March 31.
Special notico of the fact is made
that within thirty days the Milwau
kee & St. Paul railroad has absorbed
four different railroads, tho Hast
ings & Stillwater, tho Illinois &
Wisconsin, the Jancsvitle, Rockford
& Beloit and Iowa & Eastern. All
tho transfers were made so quietly
as to escape ut'otninn. The aggro
gato value of the four lines is over
two hundred millions, making the St.
Paul road, by long odds, the most ex
tensive system of railroads in the
country.
Treasure Trove.
St. Louis, April 1. Two laborers,
while digging a drain on the premises
of James E. Haggerty; on Collins
street, to-day, unearthed a largo pot,
tightly sealed, which proved to con
tain a large amount of English sov
ereigns, American silver dollars, and
a lot of continental currency. The
money has not yet been counted, but
there is probably $20,000 to $30,000
of coin, which is dated last oentury.
The currency bears date 1777. The
house was occupied by Montgomery
Blair many years ago, but afterward
passed into the possession of Samuel
Gaty.
A Ills nay's Work.
Chicago, April 1. A Times' Pu
eblo special says that between two or
three o'clock this morning, a mob of
sixteen men quietly took from tho
county jail two notorious cattle
thieves, named Ph ebus and Me-
Graw, and hung th -m to a tree on
Santa Ke avenue, within one hundred
yards of the jail. Thore is an organ
ization in the county known as the
Cattlo Growers' Association, a branch
of the stato organization, composed
of cattle growers, for tho protection
of tieir property, There is little or
no doubt that the mob was composed
of members of this association. The
lynchgnext rodo to a ranch ten
miles sway, surrounded the house,
and captured S. P. Chastine, Billy
Chastine and Frank Owsley. Their
hands were securely bound, and they
were put on horses and taken to a
thick patch of timber. There is "but
one of the gang left.
Xot Yet Signed.
Washington, March 31. The
cabinet meeting to-day was devoted
chiefly to the consideration and dis
cussion of the Chinese immigration
bill. No conolusion was reached
with regard to it. The president an
nounced a special session to be held
Monday, wh n the bill will bo dis
posed of. Wednesday is the last
day the president can hold the
bill. Senator Miller, of California,
and Jones, of Nevada, called on the
president after the cabinet meeting,
and both are sure there Till be no
veto. Others who visited the presi
dent think the bill will he returned
to congress with a request that the
twenty-year clause be reduced to ten
years, when he will sign it.

by occupation a merchant. I examined
the tracks and could tell something us to
the boots which made them. Witness ex.
amined the boots One pair of these
boots may have produced one of the tracks

j. i:. SMITH
testified as below. 1 live at Charleston,
and am a carpenter. I examined the
tracks on the hill above the office the morn

any of these boots as having made the
tracks. They are tw large, but may have
made a track smaller than these would ap
parently make; am satisfied in my own
mind that none of these boots would have
made the tracks. As to the horseajn'
Dunbar's corral, one of them mighfave
made one of the trucks. I am not nn ex.
nert trailer of either men or stock.
