announced in the la.-t issue ot your pa
per, that some of the gentlemen who
vi.-itod the Monument il Mine. last,
week, would give to your readers their
views in rejard to that great Mining
Enterprise, I think it only fair that
s nne of u-j should try and make your
words good.
Much has been said, and written,
ub'iut the Monumental .Mine of Grant
County, and yet there is much more to
j say, in fuel a his'ory. of this gre it Min
ing Enterprise would be more interest
ing than romance, or fable. It is not
my intenion, however, to attempt to
write, its his'ory. I leave that work
for a m.-re able pen tna-i mine. I have
be n in this county for a period of 17
years an 1 hae had.fron the first, great,

a hole e:ght. or nine hundred f.cfc into

Afft-r ieiVf!iingours !ies for a tim ,
the hour be iir yet rariy, we ai oepied
tho im itat on of Pivs tl nt Stomme to
walk op and t;kt: ;i look at the fine
Mivrr m II the eo npiny are erec'ing for
the r mine. Arriving at the mill,
which is idtua'ed on the north .-i 1c of
the mountain ridge and ubtmt 200 yards
west of th'i min , we were surprise I to
.'cp a build ng construcfed on the t-op
nnmntain side, occupying about 190 feet
o.it and wotj a'.d in heijdit nearly 75
ffi-t fr.un :he ventil.itnr- at the top of
the mill to fie ground floir of the en
gine room.
e were informed that there was
used in covering the roof, i. early one
hundred and ten thousand shinirle?.
We found the engine f 80 hor.se power,
wihthobders and all set ready fur
the lire, an i as nice and strong machin
ery as o-ic woul 1 wish to see.
Adj. lining the engine room, on the
si me Q ) r, is the apartment occupied
by the ama'gamating pans fjur in
number, and the settlers. While stand
ing in this, ro m wo. could have a good
vii'w of nea-ly all of the inside work cf

level of the stamps is the roasting ma

diameter and 30 feet long and lined
with fire-brick. The pulverised ore
will bo taken from the stamps by el.va.

which as it revolves cuu?es the finely
powdered ore to drop through a fl'ame
of Gre pissing through the evlindcr.
On your witnessing the revolutions of a
bolt reel in a flour mill, you will have an
idea how the quaitz passes through the i way of the a:r shaft to the 200 foot iev
roaster. j el on No. 13, where we found the vein
Above the stamps and on the third
plat is the dryer, which is a bell shaped
revolving cylinder ol heavy iron, about
18 ieet in length and so constructed
that the hot air from the roasting f.ir
huce pa?se3 through, thoroughly drving
the ore before being convoyed to the
stamps.
On the fourth floor and directly above
the dryer, is the machine f r breaking
the qiuifz, in order that it may be led
to the stamps by self acting apparatus
When compl-ted there will be a tram
way from the ore dump at the mine,
lead.ng n,to tlncruhuig room of the
mill. The ore wdl be conveyed from
me mine io uie mm m cars Holding
about 1000 pounds each. The floor of
the crushing room U n-arlv on a level
with t!ie top of the inu'itain ride front
ing the mill. Here and adjoining ihe
mill, the company are erect ng their
store house tor supplies etc. F.om our
.standpoint it was a busy sight to see the
mill-wtiiihts, caipent-rs, brick nias-ms
and maehi'iesfs working and poundim:
aw.iy in th ir sopera'c capacities, each
elas-s si'em:ngly unaware of the presence
of the others, s intent were they at
their own peculiar work. And ii-w
and then we would s -e thu g n.
manager here, ami then1, con tinu
with his foremen, occii-ioiiaily convers
ing with his visitois and frequently
speaking a word of eneuragein"iit and
praise to the workmen.
I underhand that tho mill will work
about 20 tons of quar'z in about 24
hours, requiring the attendance of nine
nun.
Aftet a haty glance at the mill, we
winded our way back to the mess-room
of AJpssr. Mill-r, Stemmo -ind Parrish
win-re. we were invite 1 to pu take of as
fine and bountiful supper, as or.e cnuld
wish to flnd in Any country.
The following morning we were in
vit d to Lro up and look at the mine.
A lar;i? and subrant'al buildinir has
b ei erected over tho entrance to the
m dn tun'nd. One apartment of which
is used as a Idack-mith shop, and anoth
er room c nt .in ng a fire-plac, oed, tt
bles etc , is used for a dressing room for
the miners. Here wo change our out
ward apparel for over-alle, miners hat
and gum bo-its.

!an our tour of inspection by marching
single fi!o, int the mouth of the tun
nel. In trav. Hi g a distance of 700 feet
we were shown lb" diff-rcnt veins, or
lo Iges of quartz, each from four inches
to three feet in width, all dipping to
wards No. 3, and apirenly coining
tige: her at no vi-ry great distance below
No. 3 consists of a group f h'dges, oc
cupying a space of, perhaps forty feet,
and in mot mining camps would be
callod a forty foot ledge. From appear
ances I should say thatmos'of the work
l:as been done on No. 13, or Monu

been run cn nearly all the different!

On iNo. 3, 12, 13, and 16, the work of
opening the slopes, and putting in ore;
.chutes has jut begun, and although j
there was on'y 12 m"n at work in the
min we cmld see that, it would be an
easy matter to find room for 100 more.
On ledgo No. 13 an air shaft has b 'en
raised to the surface, a d Stance of three
hundred feet, and is a schute for the
ore and a man way frthe workmen to
go up and down. This shaft is timber
ed all the way from top to bottom, with
heavy timbers, framed in after the fash
ion of m iking bg houses, leaving a
spaoe inside of about 2J by 6feet with

a par'ition in the middle to protect thp
trmt.Wdy from the falling ore in the
schute. After examining all of the dif
ferent drifts on a level with the main
j tunnel, we were conducted up the man-
of quartz varying in wid'h from 8 to
30 inchcs,and rich in ruby and antirao
nial s lver. L.-aving this level we as
cended to the 100 foot level where we
were shown along the level for a dis
j tance f 150 feet nrth t the bottom
if the old prospectinc .-haft of the dis-
coverers. and at a d pth of 100 feet frnml
the surface.
After resting a little we cga?n took
io the manvay and ascended 'o tbe sur-
face of the eaith and beheld once morn

mine just three hours and hid traveled

ground, and were well pleased with
wnut we naa seen in our voyage through
the earth, and we all seemed to agree
that the Mine Would be a success: with a

Pali stink Under Mortgage. In
view of the con'ingenc es in the Eat,
tbe fact that Baron Kothchild holds a
mortnai:e on all P.ilistineas security for
his loan as security for his loan of 200,
000,000 fiancs to the Turkish G vern
ment pos-esses peculiar interest. As
that government is bankrupt and fall
ing to peices, one of the possibilities
of the future any be a foreclosure of
the Kothchild mortgage; and then,
pothaps, when a Jew once owns the
country, under the protection of Great
Brit tain, tho Jews throughout the world
may be induced to return to their fath
erdand, orgmize themselves again into
a nation, and thus the prophecies res
pecting the restoration of Isreal minht
be fulfilled in a litteral or terrestrial
sense. In view of these and other poss
ibilities, the remarkable achievement
of Di.-raeli in securing a practical Brit
ish protectorate over Turkey is full of
interest and significance.

ULL TOGETHER !
We conversed with quite a
number of our citizers and they
all agree that i woolen factory

county but none of them seem
want to take upon themselves
the responsibility of leading in
the matter, for fear it might
prove a failure. Now, how
were the paying enterprises
