Pollier, general superintendent of the Imperial Copper Mining company's property in Beaver county was a visitor to the ci!; Tuesday and reports a very bright outlook for that company's com-pany's Comet property, adjoining the Cactus in Copper gulch. In the short space of time that Mr. Pellier has been wil.;i the company he has erected an office building, large bunk ami boara-ing-house, hoisting plant, blacksmith shop, etc., and within a month will begin operations in the mino, having already installed a thirty-live horsepower horse-power gasoline hoist. In order to gain mora dumping ground, the collar of the old shaft is to be raised thirty feet. This shaft is down 175 feet and is being unwa-tered unwa-tered as rapidly as possible. The water is below be-low the 100-foot station and Mr. Pellier was able to make examination ot the drifts from this level and reports ore exposed in a number of places. He does not think it will take long after getting started to make a big producer of this property. In excavating for one of the buildings, a ledge was uncovered for a distance of sixty feet that carried fair values in copper, silver and gold. & Manager Packard of the Star Con. reports that the newly found ore body in that property is now ten feet in width and has every indication of holding out. It has been drifted on for over forty feet and the breast presents a solid body of high-grade high-grade ore fully ten feet wide. Two cars are being marketed this week from other parts of the mine and a shipment is being loaded f om i the new strike that will reach the sampler In a few days. : 5 At an adjourned meeting of tne stockholders of the May Day held on Tuesday the insurgents under un-der leadership of A.

Duncan, A. E. Snow, John A. Hunt and M. H. Walker.
