THE SUMPTER MINER
ENGINEER HAAS
IN GREENHORNS.
Everything Moving, He Says,
and District Prosperous.
Nathan Haas, a former graduate
from the Houghton School of Mined,
and lately connected with well known
British Columbia properties, returned
yesterday from a several days' visit
in the Greenhorns. Mr. Haas says:
"Every thing is looking extremely
encouraging throughout this district,
aad work is proceeding rapidly on
most of the properties. I visited the
Belcher, Virginia, Forty-Nine Jim
mie Humbolt, Psycho, Suow Creek,
Phoanlx and Morning. At the
Virginia there is a rotary drop plant,
which is something new in the
distriot. It wasn't in operation,
however, when I was thoro and I
cannot speak as to its success. It has,
I understand, a capacity equal to a
ten-stamp mill. The company has
its rook houso shaft and reductiou
plant all under one roof, uud is well
equipped for bnslnsoH.
"At tho Humbolt, a garioliuo hoist
is on tho ground aud tho framing
shed is being put up.
"Colouol Topping of tho Forty
Nino Jimmio loft tho other day for
Spokauo to iimko arrangements for
currying on work moro extensively.
"At tho othor properties I namod
development is going rapidly ahead,
aud takou all in all tho district
presents a most prosperous outlook.
WORK TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
Water in Shaft at the GoWca Wizard Gives
Trouble.
J. M. McPhee, superintendent of
tho Ooldou Wizard had to discon
tinue operations temporarily a few
duys ago on account of water in the
shaft. Ho states that it will
probably be docidod to sink a threo
compartment shaft some 200 feot
from the hanging wall in order to
avoid tho wator. This it is thought
will remedy tho defect ns all tho
wator goes to tho foot wall.
Tho old shaft which is down over
170 feot will provo available later
on as stopiug .ground uud for
ventilation purposes.
