OBLTUARX

On Saturday, Dec. 10th, about p.
m., Michael Fox, miner, while
working in the Treasurer Vault tunnel,
was instantly killed by an unexpected
explosion of giant powder Poor
victim Of the toiling industry of our
mountain homes, his was a sad taking
off. When the angel Of death sound
ed her harsh summons, she at once
stilled BRAN and heart by her missiles.
Not a moment for "God have
mercy" wrung out in all the anguish
of a poor soul, at once called to ac-
count for its stewardship. 1t was a
sad funeral train that. in binding
storm, took him to his last resting
place. No priest was near to say a
prayer; not flower to cast into his
grave; not woman's voice or tear
save away back in the far East, where
the telegraph had told its tale Of
death. Oh! you away among your
homes Of ease and comfort, remember
the poor toller Of the mountains in
your prayers; remember the dangers
they are undergoing, who may be
working out llfe's problem for you
Death is something awfully sad at this
season here, eleven Thousand feet
among the clouds. A0oye, below
and round about nothing but a white
mantle OF snow; no flower nor leaf to
place, by the kind hand OF friendship,
over the still head nothing In color
but the sombre black OF the draped
home Of the dead and the pure snow
death and poverty, fit companions.
Death takes from lis our klndest
friends and sometimes our best beloy-
ed and summons them home in many
forms sometimes slowly, with the
glow OF life and health upon the brow:
sometimes under bright promise and
lives OF usefulness, and again, with all
the malignity of destroying angel
he hurls his thunderbolt and his vic
tim crumbles to dust. Death comes
at night under the pale light with
nothing but the stars for is watchers !;

are stratifed between the layers OF

and ornamental, especially when fin

is also good building rock above the

are really our most beautiful stones
for building purposes. The marble is

form of texture. Some of it has been

of Gunnison may be enabled to dwell

perly managed as business by some

and will directly be the means Of CIV
ing employment to thousands of min
ers and others, and will also, when
combined with the manufacture and
manipulation of iron, do more to
build up the great Gunnison country
than all the other interests combined.
The railway companies building into
Gunnison are we'll aware of the loca-
ton of the best varieties of Goals, and
isse acted accordingly by extending
their lines to accessible points where
the very best coal is to be found and
do not stop to tamper with inferior
varieties.
There are 4 great many places
where good coal is found further east
towards the range, but the quality is
Inferior and the deposits small, yet it
will be invaluable to the localities
where it is found, as they are in the
midst Of mining camps that are really
promising.
The mining camps north of Gunni-
son are all, IN fact, supplied with very
superior coal in their immediate vicin-
ity, hnd all is bituminous, semi-anthra
citesor real anthracite.
NJ other Goals have as yet been
found than those spoken of above In
the ssGunnison country, nor is there
any probability that there will be.
Th{ {meas lres are either Of the Terti-
ary period, which furnishes the brown
lguite, Of OF the Cretaceous, which
in 5 this country only furnishes
thes trud bltuminous or anthracite.
The coal measures of the Carbonifer-
ous do not exist in the Gunnison
country consequently no albertlne or
camel cbal will be found, but such as
We lave is good enough.

IRWIN.

The iron Of the Gunnlson is more
yarNble than the coal. 1t abounds
& many places, and nearly every To-
NJ furnishes a different variety,
and, what is most encouraging in re-
spect to its utility, it can, with a small
expense, be reached by rail By the
different lines now running through
the country. The iron at White
Earth is abundant and very high grade
is slightly magnetic, and the ore will
carry from 69 to II per cent. metallic
iron. The iron mines of White Earth
are distant from Gunnison, southwest,
"a miles, and can in time be trans
ported to this place at very small
cost. I believe that the White Earth
valley alone can furnish all the iron of
different grades that extensive works
NAV need here for at least z hundred
years to come. There is iron ore on
a tributary of Ohio creek, about
IS miles north of Gunnison, very SIM
liar to the Lake Superior iron. 1t is
in vein about three feet thick and
near the South Park railway track, and
near large body of bituminous coal.
West of Crested Butte, and between
that place and Irwin is situated the
celebrated iron swamp. The iron
swamp is large body Of bog ore,
which has been deposited as sediment
from small streams which flow into
the swamp over beds of pyrites Of iron
in the mountains north.
The ore, becoming oxidlzed by the
action of the water, mlngles With it,
and is carried down IN the streams.
This iron oxide will carry from 40 to
81 Der cent. of iron and about s ozs.
silver. 1t has been found to be from
; to IS feet deep, and will cover about
sixty acres. This body of ore, though
more limited, | consider one Of tn
most valuable for use as hux in silver
smelling. Other bodies of ore have
been found on Spring creek-near
Gothic City. Scofield, and other
points, all good and accessible and all
valuable, if transportation sufficiently
cheap could be furnished.
The vast amount of iron and coal,
if it could be utilized by bringing it
together at a place like Gunnison,
would do more to build up this coun-
try than any thing else that could be
brought to bear. That it will some
day be done, and when done will be
of the first Importance, have no
doubt. Notwithstanding Gunnison
has very many good gold and silver
mines, as good, probably, as any
place in the world, yet l am certain
that that interest will in time become
only of secondary importance.
