MINING NOTES.

One Of the Butte smeIters burns twenty
five cords Of wood per day. 1t costs 30 per
cord, which will make its yearly consump-
ton Of wood amount to $4,000.
Silver City is reported TO be the lVellest
camp IN Nevada, This Is owing TO the.
work carried on By the Emlgrant Prospect
ing Company. The successful working or
the lower Comstock mine has renewed the
hope of owners of other claims IN that vicin-
ity, and work is shortly to be commenced on
q number of them.
The cost of working the copper mines OF
Lake Superior, Michigan, varies from lie to
22c per pound Of the ingots prodnced. The
cost of the ingots from three of the mines
for 1870 was af follows: Atlantic 1920
Central, 11.16 Quincy, 1871. This is the
best that either of these mines has done. Last
year the CentraTs copper cost 1856 to pro-
duce.
One of the ablest Of the United States Dis
trict Judges of Colorado, IN p~ronounclng 8
recent decision on a jumped claim, used the
following language substantially ''The law
| supposes or takes for granted that where q
man puts $500 worth of work on a claim or
| location, that mineral was there to justify
| the expenditure, or else q man would not be
| foolish enough to put his time or money
| 10 such q use; and no man has the right to
| go on the claim Of another ana break the sur
| face ground to prospect. In other words
| the law accepts the acts Of the mine or
| prospecter in good faith, and his fellow men
| should do the same and keep their hands Oft.
| So much is said about the wages OF miners
that the Tuscaroro papers say something OF
| their dangers, which will apply to all loeali-
| ties ..There are few men who fully ap-
| preciate the value OF miners labors, and the
| dangers TO which he is subjected while on
| duty. The surface miner hos extraordinary
| risks. We all remember poor Bascom who
! followed 8 car to the lowest level ai1d was
! taken up 8 ~lifeless mass ; 8 dozen men can
be seen on our streets every day suffering
every day from wounds received IN the
mines. Yet We hear about the exorbitant

will note that Hugh Bowman is able to be
on the streets, and is IN good spirits, but
says that he will not be able TO sling 8 pick
