MINING ETnLleEsG

The Good Enough Company will
start up work on their mill in short
time, so Is to Be ready to seoeive ore
by the opening 81 spring.
The independence niue has per-
haps one Of the largest weil-defned
veins Of galena and iron pyrites that
there is in camp, and under the
able management of Mr.. Walter
Graves it IS fast developing into pro-
ducing mine.
Mr.. A. ]. Copley is doing good
work on the Allevon lode, and if any
body in this country deserves to be
successful we think Mr.. Copley does,
for he has worked faithfully every
since the discovery Of the camp, this
being his second wiater here. There
are very few men who have stuck as
close to the camp as he has, and it
looks natural to see him on our streets.
The Lead Chief promises to be one
of the best mines of Colorado. The
main hafatadown sixty ieet and /
new pay streak of ruby and brittle
silver, six inches thick, has been
struck, running parallel to the pay
streak in the old shaft, which is ten
inches thick and of similar ore. Mr..
John Popham is the efficient superin
tendent, and under his able manage
ment the mine will be worked to a
good advantage. Mr.. Harding has a

THEo. NOEL"
From the tone OF Mr.. Noels
letter he has evidently got his "back
up" and very justly too, we think, for
it is very clear in our mind that Mr..
p. m. has laid himself liable to very
severe criticisms by the press in caus-
ing to appear an article constructed as
above. We refrain from publishing
the whole of both communications
for the want of space, but suffice it to
say we have published enough to show
how absurd the first one appears. The
writer may have written it in good faith,
thinking thereby to benefit the camp,
but in our opinion such articles are
detriment to our community. So
N. B.-lf Mr.. Stevens has got a
claim that shows we'll defined vein
between walls, that will give an
averaged assay of $500 to the ton, the
PILOT will find him a cash purchaser
inside of ten days at $4,000. 1t is
easy enough to get rich assay from
boulders or slide, but $500 to the
ton on the average, from a well-de-
fined vein, we consider a big thing.

indignation" speaks for himself,
i. e., for the Forest Queen and Ruby
King, extolling those rich mines very
highly, and as we think, very justly ;
but when the gentleman lays such
stress upon the vast importance of these
mines to our entire camp, intimating
that any disaster which might befall
them would invoke almost total ruin
upon us, We beg, gently and respect
fully, but most enphatically to differ
with him.
This camp does not depend upon
the Forest Queen, Ruby King, Last
Chance, or any other mine or group
Of mines for its prosperity. OF course
all these properties contribute their
share towards building up our justly
celebrated mining camp, but there are
other mines near us just as valuable,
which also contribute to the common
fund. The columns Of this paper are
open for the discussion of these ques-
items but We know that whether the
vein is on fotest Queen ground or on
Last Chance, it is here. The gentle
ssen are pleading their own case before
the bar Of public opinion. Let them
plead.
Our mountains fairly TEEN with rich
mines and prospects, upon which the
work Of development has hardly begun
aiidyet they bid fair to rival both in
quantity and quality the celebrated
mines above. mentioned. Many of
these claims are in the hands of the
original owners-men who are too
poos to place their property upon a
paying basis in two or three months.
These but await the advent of the capt.
talists to pour out their hidden trea-

readers will have to bear with US,
while we will endeavor to give our
patrons a better paper in the future
The PlLoT has in the past been looked
upon as being reliable, and it is the
purpose of the editors to maintain
that standard, at all times, confning
ourselves as near as possible to facts
in all mining news. 1t is our ann in
the future as it has been in the past to

SORE us AND CAN CAPS.

A few days since the cook came to

dipped in hot water be applied to the
outside of the cap. to cause expansion

etfeetually loosened the cap that it
came off with no effort We have tried
this principle on many other occasions.
The ground shoppers of bottles some.
times are found immovably fast. In
this case the heat must be applied to
the neck of the bottle, so as to increase
it's size and leave the stopper loosened

Care should always be taken that the
ground stopper when inserted is not
colder than the bottle neck, for if it is

and be effectually fastened. In one
case we had employed a horsepower

to take off a screw, and after holding
it long enough in his hand to warm and
expand it, he placed it again without
thinking on the screw and turned it
firmly down. 1t contracted in cooling

could stir it until a red hot iron was
applied to the nut to restore its size.
In all these attempts the right space Of
time must be given to heat the nut or
stopper, without heating the part which
it touches, which requires some judg-
ment. The metallic can-caps will heat
sooner than the bottle neck If the
beat is continued too long all will be.

will fail. Some years ago it became
necessary to unscrew the two parts Of
an iron pump for repair, but the rust

men with levers could not separate
them. We directed the application Of
strong heat to the outer tube, and be-
fore the heat could reach the inner .
