Mining Lingo.

The Denver Mirror has the following
items concerning the development OF mines
in the Sunshine District of Colorado:
The Inter Ocean is proving to be very
profitable mine.
The Bull-o'- the. Woods has crevice ff.
teen feet wide; ore worth ST., 900 to SIS, 900
per ton.
The Phil Sheridan is down twenty-five
feet, with a rich showing OF sylvanite. TEL
lurium and mispickle ore.
The proorietors in Chicago will be glad
to learn Of the success of the Inter Ocean
As to the masculine bovine inhablting tbe
forest with its spacious issure and rich ore,
we can only warn smelters OF delusive
bonanzas. for there are many of them. The
Phil Sheridan referred can not be the Gen
eral, for he is not down at all. and makes no
showing OF tellurium or mispickle ore. An.
other mine hss ''good pay walls. and a pay
streak which eclipses anything on the hill"
Ia the same paper reference is made to
"Chiquita Wawa," a correspondent who
writes Of travel "from Colorado Springs to
Old Maids Ridge. via Rattlesnake Ranch"
In New Mexico we learn that "Gassy is
working the old shaft" The Ford mine
''shows crevice ia the righ: hand drift of
the upper tunnel, near the breast" We
also learn that ''the Moose has 200 tons of
ore on the dump" Verify. the vernacular
Of ths miner is exceedingly strange.

Tho recent victory won by the Americans
at Dol!ymoun. is threefold in its nature.
Upon th- soil of the shamrock, resting on
parent stem. grow the three glories. First,
there is the grand triumph of cur :narks'
men: second, the superiority OF the weapons
manufactured in America, and thirdly, the
nasterly enterprise of American journalism.
Whiio the Yankee representatives were
gaining us relown by making thei: marks
on foreign targets, i: nUs: be remem bered
that it was American arms that contributed
mainly to tha result. And fast as each shot
was fired, whether by our champions or
thei, cppone1ts, the result was flashed over
the wires and placed in tangible pictorial
torn before the public by three grea. NE.
