Madsen of the Century Cen-tury Mining company of Park valley . has gone to the mine to be gone about two weeks. It Is the Intention of Mr. Madsen to lay out a system of development develop-ment work In the mine to determine surely the amount of money which will be necessary to put the property in shape to once more Join the list of the dividend-payers. Lately the development develop-ment has been much more productive of results than for some months and the situation of the company is not regarded regard-ed as anywhere near so gloomy as it appeared when the last assessment was declared. While it may be necessary to have another assessment, and maybe more than one, the prospects of the company amply warrant them. BACK FROM NEW YORK. G. B. D. Turner, manager of the " West Quincy, has returned from his trip to New York, and left Wednesday morning for Park City to Inspect the w-ork done during his absence. While the nature of the business .which called Mr. Turner to New York ' is not announced, it is understood to have dealt with the financial affairs of the company and to have been perfectly perfect-ly satisfactory. The work of drifting into West Quincy ground through the 600-foot level of the Little Bell Is progressing pro-gressing nicely, and the new compressor com-pressor moved from the Wolverine to assist in the work Is running well. Mr. Turner will push the work forward as fast as possible, and expects to see - his hopes realised and the ground effectually ef-fectually opened up before another six months have passed. ' .

I WORD FROM MORRISON. ' - President George Morgan of the Morrison Mor-rison Mining company, whose property ' is located in Humboldt county, Nev., has received a letter from Superintendent Superintend-ent C. . D. Morrison stating that the shaft has now been sunk down sixty-eight sixty-eight feet, and that the men are making ma-king fast progress with it. He states that stringers of quarts have been coming- into the shaft continually, and that some of these stringers carry values and Some do not. The stringers are about two Inches wide, and seem to be heavily mineralised, as the samples which accompanied the letter show. ' Two of these samples show the presence pres-ence of free gold, and all carry some values. The old workings, which were being cleaned out. have been abandoned, aban-doned, as It was found that the men would have to sink on the ore In them, and Mr. Morrison did not want to be Finking; in two places at the same time. There is no doubt, however, but that ' there is a nice body ot ore uncovered MINING NOTES, i Capt. O. A. Tlbbets is expected to return re-turn from. Goldfleld within a week.
