The cable of the tramway from the De Lamar mill to the Jim Crow tunnel parted on Friday, and while the work of repairing it is being pushed the progress is slow. The break, however, has necessitated the closing down of the mill since. Everything is so complete in and about the pla.nt that it is only some accident of this kind that would close it down. Yesterday Jerry Manning concluded Purtscher the negotations with John two-nintinfor the purchase of his terest in the Magnolia the consideration being $2000 and the final papers changed hands today. The Magnolia is now owned by J. Eisemann of Pioche, T. R. Jones of Salt Lake and John Purtscher of De Lamar. This property merits work, and the present owners will undoubtedly give it attention very shortly. The De Lamar companys mill building looks as though it was going to be made over, in making the additions for the accommodation of the new Griffin mills and crusher. Pioche Record: It is reported that No. 10 tunnel on the De Lamar comwith pany's works has made connection the lower levels of the great mine.

The completion will simplify the workings greatly, all the ores can be taken out of the tunnel on De Lamar Lode: hs a gravity grade and the cars returned by motor power, and the tramway, which, by the way, had the misfortune to break one of its cables a few days ago, will then be little required, if at all, as all the ores will then be run direct from the mine to the rock breaker, and with the large additions to the reall the duction works it will ores Nevada. in for reducing plants White Pine News: Mining Expert Crossman claims to have uncovered a ledge seventy feet wide in Pine Nut and that the ores will go all the way out-riv- al from $5 to $150 per ton. ARIZONA. Prescott Journal: Malcolm McLeish is said to be making a net clean-u- p of $100 per day on his cyanide plant near Wickenburg. He is working fifty tons per day of tailings at a net profit of $2 per ton.. He has a sufficient quantity of tailings to keep his plant in operation for several months. The copper output for 1895 in Arizona was 70,000,000 pounds. This does not include Globe but it is estimated that the output for 1896 will reach 85,000,000 pounds easily. This at 10: cents a pound represents a large sum of money, and mining and milling the same means a large expenditure of money in the Territory.
