SYDiNEY CONSOLIDATED. The Sydney mining company Las fina ly pulled their pumps and discon- cected the machinery and all work has beon suspended for an indefinite time. Work was commenced on the Sydney about eighteen months ago daring which time they sunk a shaft '65 feet and drove a level aboat 150 feet. Although at titmes.the mine has looked very en- cour ging. they have never taken out any pay ore. The reason for discon- tinuiug operations is owing to a scarcity ,f funds. The stockholders have been asked toUdvance five cents a share as a loan taking a mortgage on the oompany's ma3hinery as security. If the necespary amount can be obtained in this way, work will again be resumed. GEORGETOWN MINING DISTRICT.

A VISIT TO THE FAMOUS COPPER GULCH DISTRICT. What a Correspondent of the Salt Lake Tribune Has to say of Their Value and Probable Future - Description, Ete. Your humble correspondent has just returned from a two days' visit to Copper Gulch, four miles west of the town of Frisco by taking the pack trail over the divide, but eight miles to go around by good wagon road. I found the camp alive wiih about forty men employed by Comet Mining and Smelting company in the capacity of rock masons, carpen- ters, miners and machinists, with at least forty more scattered out through the hills getting out rock, wood, coal and other materials to construct the copper furnace. The C'omet Mining and Smelting com- pany is mainaged here by Professor A. Sebillot with E. Jolly as assistant and secretary. The professor is very confi- dent of success and says there is no such word as fail. The C'actus, which xi now the princi- pal mine being worked, is opened to a depth of 300 feet. with numerous levels and drifts showing a large body of copper pyrites, which assay well in silver. Som•e gray copper has just been struck that assays as high as 40Ai ounces silver per ton. One cross-cut in this mine shows the ore vetn to be pover 1 5 feet wide--cf course it is not all solid ore. A few years ago the old comp;ny attempt- ed to concen:rato these ores by water. and made a feilure. But I'rofUssor Sebillot is sure the cheapeet way is by fire, so a new 40-ton patent water-jacket cooper furnace built by 'ra:ser, Ch4lmers & Co., is now on the ground and will be completed by January st, 1889. The Comet mine lies near and adjoins the Cactus, and is a part of the same ore belt. Part owners in the company and managers of the mines of the company, are the Morrenson Brothers, Lorren and Charles, who came here in 1879, when Frisco was a booming camp. and have stayed with the camp through thick and thin. They are true blue loyal men. ptubhe spirited and alive to progress and the development of the country. The +omet Mining and Smelting Company are backed by a rich French syndicate, and have lately bought up the principal part of the Cactus Mining Company's stock; they also own in con- nection the old Massachusetts copper mine, about five miles distant from their "hrred, isf t'ocy Distri'ct wti Mc: Larault; also with James Forgie m the opper King mine, formerly the Superior mine and a number of other copper prospects scattered around in the various districts of I'eaver 1 ounty. We hope to see this coppy company make a suc- cess, and they will no doubt eventuatly build works at iMilford or some point on the railroad. The French as a rule are gcood stayers when that' sta't in, and the outlook is good. It th- weal her permits, opper Gulch will becorime a busy camp after New Year's. 1•,S. . On the first cf January next the Horn Silver mine will malke a change all around. and for the botter; we wili all have to wait and see. Bat that it is g', ing into Alorrton hands is no oubt, and if reports are true hereabouts they can have it; as it is all (except the copper ore, very base ores) gutted, and the Lord's anointel are welcome to it and all wish them success.

The Conductors and Engineers on the Montana Union Strike, and All Business suspended. _ [ISpecial to Tux M~A~I. by the RThr w--4'-, ANACONDA, December 4.-At 2:25 o'clock this afternoon all the passenger and freight conductors and engineers on the Montana Union railway struck, and not a car or engine is moving on that line to-day. The strike was caused by the act of Master Machinist Ross at Butte last week when he discharged several engineers of the Brotherhood. The engineers objected to this and de- manded their re-instatement. This was refused by the road and the strike was ordered to-day. A good deal of apure- hensioin exists here as to what the result will be, and the business men are very muchl afraid that if the strike continues the smelters will have to shut down and business here will be a.t a standstill. LATER. ANACO':DA, December 5.--The breach between the striking engineers and con- ductors on the Montana Union railway was widened last night. A passenger train, bearing the United States mail and a few passengers from Butte. just as it was coming into the city last night at 11 o'clock was thrown from the track by an open switch near the fire brick works about half a mile east of town. The train was going at the rate of five miles an hour at the time and no one was hurt. It is supposed that the wreck was caused. by the strikers, though there is no evi- dence to show it. Men are now at work ,etting the engine on the track egain a id are backed by tavo deputy United States marshal with loaded rifles. ANACONDA, December 6.--It is report- ed here that Master Machinist Ross has been discharged and that Superintend- ent Dickenson has resigned; and that for the present ten locomotives will be turned over to the Anaconda company.

Tho Anaconda works shut down last night and all the men were laid off with the exception of a few to keep the machinery in running order. The Bilhngs Gazette nominates Hon. Frank S.

SYDiNEY CONSOLIDATED.
The Sydney mining company Lasfina ly pulled their pumps and discon-
cected the machinery and all work hasbeon suspended for an indefinite time.Work was commenced on the Sydneyabout eighteen months ago daring whichtime they sunk a shaft '65 feet anddrove a level aboat 150 feet. Althoughat titmes.the mine has looked very en-cour ging. they have never taken outany pay ore. The reason for discon-tinuiug operations is owing to a scarcity,f funds. The stockholders have beenasked toUdvance five cents a share as aloan taking a mortgage on the oompany's
ma3hinery as security. If the necesparyamount can be obtained in this way,work will again be resumed.

SOU"THERN UTAH MINES.
A VISIT TO THE FAMOUS COPPER
GULCH DISTRICT.
What a Correspondent of the SaltLake Tribune Has to say of TheirValue and Probable Future -Description, Ete.
Your humble correspondent has justreturned from a two days' visit to CopperGulch, four miles west of the town ofFrisco by taking the pack trail over thedivide, but eight miles to go around bygood wagon road. I found the campalive wiih about forty men employed byComet Mining and Smelting companyin the capacity of rock masons, carpen-ters, miners and machinists, with atleast forty more scattered out throughthe hills getting out rock, wood, coal andother materials to construct the copperfurnace.
The C'omet Mining and Smelting com-pany is mainaged here by Professor A.Sebillot with E. Jolly as assistant andsecretary. The professor is very confi-dent of success and says there is no suchword as fail.
The C'actus, which xi now the princi-pal mine being worked, is opened to adepth of 300 feet. with numerous levelsand drifts showing a large body ofcopper pyrites, which assay well in silver.Som•e gray copper has just been struckthat assays as high as 40Ai ounces silverper ton. One cross-cut in this mineshows the ore vetn to be pover 1 5 feetwide--cf course it is not all solid ore. Afew years ago the old comp;ny attempt-ed to concen:rato these ores by water.and made a feilure. But I'rofUssorSebillot is sure the cheapeet way is byfire, so a new 40-ton patent water-jacketcooper furnace built by 'ra:ser, Ch4lmers& Co., is now on the ground and will becompleted by January st, 1889.
The Comet mine lies near and adjoinsthe Cactus, and is a part of the same orebelt. Part owners in the company andmanagers of the mines of the company,are the Morrenson Brothers, Lorren andCharles, who came here in 1879, whenFrisco was a booming camp. and havestayed with the camp through thick andthin. They are true blue loyal men.ptubhe spirited and alive to progress andthe development of the country.
The +omet Mining and SmeltingCompany are backed by a rich Frenchsyndicate, and have lately bought up theprincipal part of the Cactus MiningCompany's stock; they also own in con-nection the old Massachusetts coppermine, about five miles distant from their"hrred, isf t'ocy Distri'ct wti Mc:Larault; also with James Forgie m theopper King mine, formerly the Superiormine and a number of other copperprospects scattered around in the various
districts of I'eaver 1 ounty. We hopeto see this coppy company make a suc-cess, and they will no doubt eventuatlybuild works at iMilford or some point onthe railroad. The French as a rule are
gcood stayers when that' sta't in, and theoutlook is good. It th- weal her permits,opper Gulch will becorime a busy camp
after New Year's. 1•,S..On the first cf January next the Horn
Silver mine will malke a change allaround. and for the botter; we wili allhave to wait and see. Bat that it is g',ing into Alorrton hands is no oubt, andif reports are true hereabouts they can
have it; as it is all (except the copperore, very base ores) gutted, and the
Lord's anointel are welcome to it and allwish them success.

IAILROA D STRIKE.
The Conductors and Engineers on theMontana Union Strike, and AllBusiness suspended.
_ [ISpecial to Tux M~A~I. by the RThr w--4'-,ANACONDA, December 4.-At 2:25
o'clock this afternoon all the passengerand freight conductors and engineers onthe Montana Union railway struck, andnot a car or engine is moving on thatline to-day. The strike was caused bythe act of Master Machinist Ross atButte last week when he dischargedseveral engineers of the Brotherhood.The engineers objected to this and de-manded their re-instatement. This wasrefused by the road and the strike wasordered to-day. A good deal of apure-hensioin exists here as to what the resultwill be, and the business men are verymuchl afraid that if the strike continuesthe smelters will have to shut down andbusiness here will be a.t a standstill.
LATER.ANACO':DA, December 5.--The breach
between the striking engineers and con-ductors on the Montana Union railwaywas widened last night. A passengertrain, bearing the United States mailand a few passengers from Butte. just asit was coming into the city last night at11 o'clock was thrown from the track byan open switch near the fire brick worksabout half a mile east of town. Thetrain was going at the rate of five milesan hour at the time and no one was hurt.It is supposed that the wreck was caused.by the strikers, though there is no evi-dence to show it. Men are now at work,etting the engine on the track egaina id are backed by tavo deputy UnitedStates marshal with loaded rifles.
ANACONDA, December 6.--It is report-ed here that Master Machinist Ross hasbeen discharged and that Superintend-ent Dickenson has resigned; and thatfor the present ten locomotives will beturned over to the Anaconda company.This will give the company a chance tosupply themselves with ore and othersupplies. The passenger train willprobably begin running to-day. ThoAnaconda works shut down last nightand all the men were laid off with theexception of a few to keep the machineryin running order.
