Show CZAD ARE TAKEN TfiOIl WRECKAGE Exhuining of Victims of the Collapsed Building Under Un-der Electric Lights; List ' of Dead Reaches Ten. . SQUTH FRAMINGHAM, Mm., July 34. Under the light of electric lamps the work of exhuming the bodies of the victims of the collapsed col-lapsed Amsden building went on unceasingly through the night, but this morning brought ao increase to the list of known dead, which numbers ten. There are ten injured and four missing, making a total of 24, who, so far as could be learned early today, were bout the building when the support gave way and Sent the tons of cement, iron columns col-umns and steel beams crashing in a tangled mass into the basement. A revised list of the dead, wounded, and missing early today is as follows: Dead: Charles Blythe, South Framingham, superintendent super-intendent of construction? C.V. Hardy. Natick, head plasterer. Patrick Pendcrgast, Newton Upper Falls, plasterer. Frank Driscoll, Newton Highlands, plasterer. plas-terer. James W. Welch. Westboro, plasterer. - Lumbrino Augustino, laborer.

A depth of 800 feet is to be reached Lv this shaft, and through the entire ' distance the management man-agement anticipates that good ore will be found, and much of it higher grade than has been secured heretofore. . LUCK AT FAIEVEBW. " Seven feet of ore is said to have been discovered on propertv owned by George Wingfield and associates in the Fairview district. Ore is being sacked for shipment. Information of the find came through Harry Holmshaw, who is at the Knutsford, and came here to renew acquaintanceship of many friends after sojourning at Fairview for many days. The strike is said to have been made by Lessee Harry Taylor at 100 feet depih on the formation. ' Wingfield and others owning the property constitute the crowd of lucky men who have reaped fortunes already in Tonopah and Gold field and who have also gotten in on the ground floor of all tho other Nevada camps, in each of which the wand of Midas appears to accompany them. PROGRESS OF RAILROAD. More information was brought to Salt Late yesterday bv General Manager Man-ager Requa of the Nevada Northern railroad concerning the conditions existing ex-isting in and around Elv, as well aa Cherry Creek. The latter is the present pres-ent terminus of the railroad, which is under construction between the Southern South-ern Pacific and Ely. Ores are coming into Cherry Creek, he says, from the mines in that vicinity and more will arrive-there as soon as the wagon-hauling facilities are increased. in-creased. The principal producer of the ores sent out of Cherry Creek is the Siegel mine. The railroad is yet twelve miles out of Cherry Creek toward Ely, and the gap is expected to be closed in thirty days more. . In-the meantime the activity at Ely is pronounced, although its full swing will not be attained, until the railroad gets there, when the momentum will increase so rapidly that by fall the new camp is expected to take on all the elements of a boom. The arrival of the railroad will be celebrated formally for-mally by the citizens. GOOD FIND AT ALT A. ' A big strike of ore has been made in the Alta-Peruvian at Alta, by Eb-erhard Eb-erhard Bauer. He found the fissure a few feet below the surface, and it widened to ten inches at seven feet depth. Ho drove for the fissure at a point 100 feet below, and soon reached the eontact, showing a solid mass of carbonates. Samples were brought to Salt Lake yesterday for test and exhibition, ex-hibition, and Mr. Bauer is being congratulated con-gratulated by his friends, while the possibilities of Alta are greatly increased in-creased by the discovery. The Alta-Peruvian is south of the Columbus, and a part of it extends into the ground of the West Columbus, and the influence on the Columbus companies compa-nies is naturally exhilarating, inasmuch as mining men realize that the contentions con-tentions of the men who have been exploiting ex-ploiting Columbus ground are based on substantial reasons. MINING BRIEFS. Edward McCarriek of the Fairview Consolidated Mining company is back from that camp and reports that the company's main shaft is down on the ledge twenty-seven feet, and that the formation Is highly mineralized, affording af-fording every promise of improvement with further depth. -- Four and one-half feet of ore hat been disclosed on the Montezuma workings work-ings at .Bingham, wherein a strike was announced a week ago. The fissure haa widened to seven and one-half feet, and the management believes that the future of the property as a shipper is assured. Shipments are "to be inaugurated inau-gurated this week. A quarter interest in the Bullfrog Alliance property at Bullfrog has been taken by Samuel Newhouse and P. H. Peery. This ground adjoins the Crystal, Crys-tal, owned by Schwab, on the east, and the Montgomery Shoshone (the Schwab merger) on the south. The Bullfrog Alliance includes four claims. Tha first payment has been made to Arthur Kunze, by the Schwab interests; inter-ests; for sixteen claims and three fractions frac-tions at Greenwater, the new copper camp in southeastern California- This is the property that was optioned recently re-cently by Don B. Gillies for $150,000. The ground lies a mile northeast oi the Patsy Clark mine, and has splendid showings. Thomas F. Cole and associates have bought the Cananea and Duluth group at Cananea for 225.000. It is believed it will be consolidated with the American Amer-ican copper syndicate, which is to be capitalized for $10,000,00(1 Capt. E. J. Raddatz yesterday after noon was presented with a diamond ring as a testimonial of esteem from his old associate in the Honerine company, compa-ny, from which he has resigned. The presentation was made at the local offices of-fices of the company, and the present was fittingly acknowledged bj the Captain. COPPER AT PROMONTORY. Where the lightning may strike next and produce a eopper prospect or a gold mine, no Baa knows. Illustrative of the possibilities in these respects is the re.-ent discovery of copper cop-per near Promontory station, on the Ogden-Lnein Ogden-Lnein cut-off of the Southern Pacific railwav.

AVhitaker accidentally disclosed the indica-' indica-' tions esrly in June. The outeroppings stand flfteea feet above the surface, very cone to the railroad track. The mineralized part of the ledge is thirty feet wide, according to the statements of people that have scn it, and the exposed part has been prospected with similar results for 300 feet in iength.

STATUS OF GOLDFIELD. j Charles Henderson of Goldfield. who is at the Kenyon, reiterates the statement that ' there hss never been a time when mines of that camp looked more promising. "Our speculative era is probably passed." he said, "and the floating population has left us for the newer diggings, but we are delivering the goods to investors more tbsn ever, and the real mining man who puts money into the ground for development is getting rich. - - . "The Truett and McKenzie leases on the Mohawk claim broke into mineral last week, and now the great Hayes-Monette ore body is proven for 1000 feet. These developments, coming right on the heels of the Kalfus find on the Mohawk, have created much excitement excite-ment in the camp, and the Mohawk ground presents more the appearance of an oil well country than a gold mine region, because of the many gallows frsmes and derricks that are serving the lessees. - "The Mohawk is the most pr.MlueOe piece of ground in the csmp today, and iti revelations have been most astonishing, when it is considered that two years ago nobody no-body supected it wss so rich.

SALT LAKERS' GOOD FORTUNE. - The smiles of fortune are noteworthy upon former Salt Lake men in the Nc-wada Nc-wada fields, judging by the reports which have been recently received in . this city, and which are verified in ' manv particulars. ! Walter Stone, whj is interested in ; '. what is known at Goldfield as -the!

Tho Gibraltar ore is said to carry as high as $100 per ton over a large width and also to be merely a streak in comparison to the width of the low grade ore body alongside. STRIKE AT ALTA-HECLA. According to ore samples brought to fialt Lake yesterday by Stephen H. Lvnch, superintendent on the Alta-Ifecla, Alta-Ifecla, that property is one of the coming producers of this district. The vein has been encountered in two 1 shafts, where it is two or three feet in width. Values in shaft No. 1 are $4 SO gold, 29.2 ounces silver and 45.6 per cent lead. In ehaft No. 2 the value val-ue are 80 cents gold. 37.8 ounces silver and 56.2 per cent lead. The No. 1 ahaft is fortv-five feet deep, and No. 2 iB thirty-five" feet deep. Two tons of ore are in the dump, of the quality indicated indi-cated by the assays, and the force of miners is to be increased, more equipment equip-ment secured, and shipments inaugurated inaugurat-ed in the near future. The Alta-Hecla Alta-Hecla is on the opposite side of the gulch from the Columbus Conso hdat-ed hdat-ed and adjoins the Albion and LUburn on the eaa't. The stockholders are Salt Lake people principally. SINKING IN OHIO. In conformance with arrangements ' made while F. Augustua Heinze was in Salt Lake a few weeks emce, the sinking sink-ing of the exploratory shaft on territory terri-tory of the Ohio Copper company at Bingham will be commenced as soon as tae preparations can be made.
