Mining World: The lease on the water from the St. Lawrence and Ana- conda mines has expired and the com?-panwill hereafter operate a plant of its owrn. Ledford, who has1 been operating a precipitating plant for the past three years, has made an average of $5000 a month. The profit derived from this source will, not be as great in the future as in the past owing to the prer centage of copper in the water being considerably reduced. This is accounted for by the fact that the fire that has been raging for several years past in these mines has been subdued, if not y entirely extinguished, and therefore the copper carried in solution has been reduced. At times this water has carried as high as 2 per cent copper, but at this writing it will probably not test over per cent. It is thought that the Anaconda company can from now on raise this water from the mines with pumps instead of tanks as has been the case for several years past, as no metal has been found that would withstand the water. drain tunnel The great has finally been completed, and the water started through it on Tuesday evening of this week, and a steady flow of 2000 gallons per minute is passing The work was through the tunnel. commenced in January, 1894, but was suspended for about twelve months, when it was again resumed.

At this time a concerted agitation of the subject would bring in capitalists who could be induced to take hold of the project and carry it to a successful issue. All we need is the capital to make a start. Our mines are sufficiently rich to keep things booming once the start is made. Joe Marines and James Rawl had thirty pounds of gold ore, from their mine in the Chemehuevis mountain, run though the sampler a few days ago, from which they obtained $56. This is at the rate of 231 ounces gold and ounces silver to the ton. twenty-fiv- e L. Sullivan is in from the John Chemehuevis mountains.
