FROM THE RESERVA 7ION.

FROM THE RESEPHA 7ION
We were honored last Monday with
visit. from our friend, Major E. N.
Chester, editor of the Gunnison News,
and Capt. E. c. Smith, one of Gen.
McKenzie's scouts. They, in COM
pany with DR.. Jennings, had just re-
turned from an eighteen days trip on
the reservation. Leaving here they
went up this side Of Anthracite creek
and then up the north fork its entire
length to its head; their route then
was to Huntsman's Hills and to Rock
creek, then down the creek to its
mouth, from here to the mouth of
Roaring Forks; they then travelled
along Grand river until they could not
not go any farther. Returning they
came up Divide creek to the head of
North Fork, from which point they
followed the old Ute trail down the
North Fork and came up on the other
side Of Anthracite creek to Ruby.
At one time they were within IS
miles Of the White River agency, and
would have go into the same, but
found the river too high for fording.
They report the country very rough
one and suited only to the Utes. Dur
ing their entire trip not an Indian nor
the sign Of an Indian was seen. They
confidently believe there is not Ute
closer to us than the agency,
Speaking Of mineral they said they
had seen nothing worth stalking west
of Ruby, and pronounce the placer
diggings on the reservation as myths.
The gentlemen were pretty much
fatigued with their journey, but were
enjoying good health.

THURSDAY, JULY I.
MINING NE US.

The Johannah lode, on Mount Lena,
is an extension of the Diabola, the late
rich find, and has the same character
ofmineral. This property is owned by
Henry Earle & Co., who have force
Of men at work opening up the lead.
The Little Oney lode, an extension
of the Pickwick, has an eighteen inch
quartz vein that carries ruby and brit
tie silver. Mike Cowley, one Of the
owners, informs us that they only have
shaft fourteen feet deep, but are 60
ing to develop it as fast as possible.
The Fireside lode, adjoining the
Lead Chief, has a shaft twenty feet
deep. The vein is three feet wide of
fine looking quartz, carrying ruby and
brittle silver that will assay 400 ounces
to the ton. NJ. Cowley, one of the
owners, is very sanguine of the future
development of this property.
The Little Rhoda, owned by Mike
Cowley ct al, near Ruby Peak, has a
shaft twenty feet deep. 1t has vein
two feet wide of gold bearing quartz
that carries more or less brittle and na-
tive silver, and altogether it is very
promising piece of property. Mr..
VIM. Gurley, of Denver, has bond
on it, which will expire July Ist.
The Diabo;a lode, owned by F. S.
Winters & Co., the rich strike that was
made two week ago, grows richer and
richer as depth is gained. They are
down about eleven feet, and the crevice
seems to widen all the time, showing
plainly brittle and native silver in large
quantities They have had rich ship
ping ore fren -9he grass roots.
The Homestake lode, located north
of the lake and near the Justice mine,
is growing more valuable as depth is
gained. On the surface it showed an
eight inch vein of quartz, that con-
tanned arsenical iron and iron pyriter.
At depth of eight feet the vein had
widened to sixteen inches, and galena
seemed to take the place of zinc.
At depth of ten feet the vein has
widened out to twenty-one inches of
fine looking quartz that carries large
quantities of galena. The owners,
Messrs. L. M. and H. G.. Brown, and
Corwin and kingsbury, intend to sink
a shaft forty feet deep Immediately.

AMONG THE MINES.

This camp has at the present time
six mines in good pay, and sacking
ore for shipment We specify: For
est Queen, Lead Chief, Ruby Chief,
Old Sheik, Howard Extension, and
Bullion King. Besides these, there
are over dozen mines that show per
manent veins and some rich ore, with
flattering prospects OF some being IN
a paying condition, as for instance !:
The Last Chance, which has yielded
some of the richest ore in this district,
Ruby King, extension of Forest Queen
mine, Little Minnie, bonded at large
figure and reported sold, Chloride De-
post, Durango, Old Mexico, Ella,
CAiquita, Aumego, Monte Cristo,
Eureka, Waverly, etc. Besides these
mentioned, there are at least twenty
very encouraging prospects that with
the development they are now receiv-
ing will soon add some of their num-
Der to the bullion producing mines OF
the district. And in addition to all
these there are not less than half a
dozen large mines of low grade ga
lena ores in Elk basin, two miles from
town, that will help increase our solid
wealth, as soon as we get reduction
works in successful operation. For a
scope of country only three to -four
miles long and mile and half wide,
in which the deepest shaft is not over
sixty feet deep and with only a few
months work done, we consider this a
pretty good showing. And it is not
80 much what we have already got
that we feel proud of, as it is what we
have got left,sas six months develop.

care you going to the race on the
fourth :" is the remark that is frequent
ly heard on the streets in the past few
days. "What race ?" is the interrog-
atiye that follows. c. F. Yorke'
sorrel horse Billy.will run two hundred
yards against Frank Places Roam
mare, Roxy, for $500 a side. The
race will be in the park, east of town,
and it is anticipated that the boys will
have a pretty lively time, as both
horses have been under training 70,
sometime. The contes' will in al prob
ability be very close.

A gentleman in the lower part OF
town, while out hunting few days
ago captured a cinnamon bear cub,
and now has him for pet. The ami
NAL is very docile and affectionate,
and bids fair to become quite pet.

Personal.

Mr.. T. T. Childers came up from,
Cunnison last Tuesday to look after
his mining property here.
VIM. A. Staples, one of the pioneers
of Silver Cliff, is here for the purpose
Of locating.
Justice R. Indy, president of the
Good Enough mining and milling
company, departed for New York
Monday.
Mr.. A. c. Grow, formerly chief
clerk of the Colorado News Co., at
Silver Cliff, is expected here in a few
days, to take charge Of the company's
mammoth stationery house at this
place.
Col. Jacobson was in camp the early
part of the week, but has gone to Den
yer for a few days. On his return he
will make Irwin his headquarters this
summer to attend to his mining inter-
est, as he has some valuable claims here.
Commodore Aimee, OF New York,
one Of the owners Of the Lead Chief
and Little Chief. arrived a few days
ago, and intends to put a large force
to work or these mines Immediately.
These are two valuable properties, and
will yield large profits this season.
Mr.. L. R. Thompson, one of the
directors Of the Forest Queen mining
company, started for Denver last Sun
day to be present at a meeting of the
board OF directors to be held there
on July I. On his return some of the
officers of. the company will probably
accompany Mr., Thompson.
Mr.. S. Seligsberg, of the firm of
Seligsberg & Co., who are putting in
a large stock Of general merchandise
here, was taken quite i'll a few days
ago with a hemorrhage Of the lungs
He was advised by his physician to go
on short trip to recruit up. We
hope for his speedy recovery and re-
turn to our midst.
Col. E. D. Trevor, mayor of Irwin,
returned from an extended trip over
the reservation last Tuesday, Messrs.
Steele and Rogers accompanying him.
He says he travelled over three hun
dred miles and did not see an Indian,
and the prospects Of finding another
mineral belt anything near as good as
the Ruby district were not very fiat
tering.
geo. waite, Esq, one OF the solid
men of Gothic, was in camp Tuesday
admirlng our mines. Mr.. Waite re-
ports the Bonanza aourishing like a
green bay tree, and Sweet and Smith
with money enough to throw at the
dogs. This is pleasant news to us,
for we know the boys to be deserving
few smiles from Dame Fortune, and
as we have money in every pocket
ourselves we would hate to cut their
acquaintance simply because they were
poor.
