would state that so far as nv ex-
perlence in the camp goes, Profes-
sor" Jacobs to the contrary notwith-
standing, that the deeper l go the
better defined l fine the vein and the
richer the mineral, l do not find it
in "bunches but in continuous
bodies. I have exposed mineral in
the Durango for $50 feet in length at a
depth of 90 to 1so feet, and the shaft
now being sunk from the latter depth,
shows better mineral than ever. 1t
could hardly be expected that camp
as new as this would ship much ore,
and it will take another years devel-
opment to get much Stopping ground.
That mill always kills or makes a
camp may be very true, as Profes-
sor Jacobs states, but then there is
yet to be mill erected here, the one

fine one indeed, quite perfect in all
Its mechanical parts, but it is not a

worked, so that We may not have that
trouble that We experienced the first

Gated on some technical point. We
trust that claims have not been slight

pie will have to go to the trouble of
staying up to see the old year out and
the new in, and at the same time re-
locating somebody elses claims then
have it 60 out to the world, as it did
Iast year.. that everything was being

LOCAL MILLS.

That mill always kills OF makes
camp is what Mr.. Jacobs says. We
do not agree on this point at all.
There is not mining camp in the
state Of Colorado, of ten years stand
ing, but what has its monuments of
mills and machinery strewn up and
down the gulches, and yet those very
camps to-day show a steady output of
ore. 1t is the hobby of some men on
going to new mining camp to get
mill, and off they go without making
a thorough examination Of the ore,
and purchase a lot of worthless ma
chinery, set it up, spending hundred
or two thousand dollars in what even
tually proves total failure.
1t has been a question in our mind
for some time whether these local
smelters and stamp mills were safe
investment anyhow, when we have
transportation facilities so convenient
to the mines. Some person on the
street will say, "WeN, if We only had
mills here to treat the ore of the camp,
we would be fixed. That is all we
reed now to make the camp the best
in the state etc." Now these very
people who make the remarks, do not
know what they are talking about, and
perhaps were never in one, and even
if they were, they would not have
known whether it was a flour mill or
ore mill if some one did not tell them.
What we want here in this camp is
concentration works. The quartz
veins of this camp arc very wide and
large and some of them have different
kinds of silver impregnated all through
and through them, SO that it makes a
large quantity of low grade ore, say
from 40 ounce up. Of course this
class of ore does not pay to handle, SO
over the dump it goes. Now, as we
said before what we want is concen-
tration works to put six or eight tons
of this ore into one, as it were, bring
ing the value from, say 40 ounces up
to two or three hundred OUNCES. This
ore can be shipped to a centralized
mill or smelter, which can treat it
cheaper and give larger returns to the
mine owner than home mill could
do, because mill that gets ore from
several different districts can save five
and ten per cent. more silver then
local mill can. The reason for this is
that a centrally located works has the
advantage of drawing ores from differ
ant localities. The ore of one camp
may not have enough lead for fuxing
purposes, while another camps ores
may not have enough copper or other
chemicals that are necessary to make
the ore smelling or stamp mill ore,
wherefore a mill that is buying ores
from dozen different localitis has the
advantage of mixing the various kinds
so that now some of them have got so
that they can save ninety and even
ninety-fve per cent. Of the silver.
A local mill does not have these ad-
vantages, as they have to depend sole
ly on the ores from one locality, and
the result is too often these local mills
are failure and that is the reason on
entering some of the older mining
camps that you see a mill here and
there standing idle and a total wreck.
1t is not because the mill cannot Sue |
cesstully treat it. 1t has been said
that reduction works with plenty Of |
ore to treat is better than the best |
mine in any camp, which we fully be-
lieve, but We would not want mill
and have to depend or the ores Of one
camp.

Until recenrly, we supposed that
Prof. H. S. Jacobs was in Custer
county when the mineral veins and
deposits of this section were created
during the geyser season, some ages
ago. 1t now seems that the supposi-
ton was groundless, as an extract from
one of the Professors letters published
IN The Mining Record, proves conclu-
slvely that he was in Irwin at the
above mentioned interesting epoch
in the worlds history.-Sizoer Cliff
Gasett.
Another county heard from. That
is right, keep the ball rolling until
such men are sunk into oblivion to
the mining industry.

At the election on the Sth of No

The law provides that the two cities
getting the largest number of votes
will make contest against each other
at the election two years hence, un-
less it happens that Denver at this
election should receive more votes
than all the other contestants put to-
gether, which is not at all improbable.

1t is reported that tle Brandywin sum

mainly by Wilmington Methodists will

The New Comet.

Prof. Orlnond Stone, of the Cincinnati
Observatory, and his assistants, are
watching the new comet with much in.
terest. They devote all their available
hours to observing the stranger. They
say the comet will be in perihelion
about month from now, say August
10. 1t is at present about loo, 200, 1000
miles from the earth, and is APPROACH
ing the earth very rapidly. When 1t
reaches its pnriheli)n it will be distant
about four tenths of The distance be-
tween the earth and'the s,m. No tail
was visible when the comet was first
seen, but the observations of Prof.
Stone Wednesday morning in Heated
that a tail was becoming visible, and
those of Thursday morning. contirm the
belieI. The tai is now PerGeptltIe by
the aid Of the telescope. Whether the
comet will become visible to the naked
eye cannot yet be determined, but the
Professor thinks there is at least somt
probability that such may be the case
Its location seems to be nearly the same
as that of the comet which appeared
some weeks ago II seems to be max
ing in a northerly direction. Prof
Stone thinks it very probable that this
is the great comet which was observed
by the Chinese in 1887. The orbits OF
the two are very nearly the same.

election of an Administration lsepubi'

its impatience aud zeal with the Stall
wart management, the World, the lead
ing Democratic organ of New York,
elects itself leader of the Democratic
Conkling combination and orders new
plan of battle. 1t advises the Demo
crats and the Stalwarts to stay away
from the Legislature and thus deprive
the Joint Convention of a quorum, thus
making au election impossible. In 9TH
er words it wishes the Conklingites to
initiate Conkling and run away The
misfortunes which have happened to
Conkllng since he executed that pro-
found piece of strategy are not calcula-
ted to encourage his friends to follow
his example 1t is to be noted, how
ever, that Conkling has offered himself
to the Democrats and he nas been de-
clined, Schoolei in adversely and profit
ing by the lessons of the past, the Dem
ocrats have declined making the usual
blunder by opening their ranks to let
him in. The Democrats have one such
member already in the person OF John
Kelley, ard they do not care 10 have
another like him. Conkllng rejected
by both Republicans ard Democrats
will either have to join the Greenback-
rs or set up a party of Lis own. since
writing the foregoing, the contest end

Moro About Meat.

To-day another communication VIII
be found in the REPUBLICAN in rela-
ton to the meat market of Wilmington,
which if true, and We do not doub' that
tits, that will create feeling OF nausea
in the stomachs of many of our citizens
who will find that instead Of the fresh
luscious JUICY beef they thought they
were eating, they have been regaling
themselves on diseased COW meat. Is 1t
possible that so much deception has
been carried on right under the very
noses of the city officials? Is 1t posi-
BILE that an enlightened christian com
munity has so long tolerated such scoun-
drels as knowingly sell tainted and
diseased meat to their customers while
for their own families they purchase OF
Others butchers who they know had
good meat? Such dealers should be
Immediately driven from the market
and if there is no law to meet the case,
tine citizens would be justitiable in tax
ing the matter into their own hands.
Our correspondent is right in demand
ing the appointment of u competent
meat inspector, not one taken from
either licensed or an unlicensed whis-
key salvcn, simply because he is a Demo-
crar, or a Republican, but man OF
sorle stamina, some moral convictions,
that would insure the faithful perfol-
nance of his duty. If the sale of dis
easei meat is permitted to be carried on
as it has been, and as represented in
our correspondent article, the health OF
the city will be undermined and a fear
full harvest of disease and death must
be the inevitable result. We are glad
the REPUBLICAN pricked this butchers
bubble, through which these shameful
and criminal exposures have hAen made.
As a temporary relief from imposition,
let all our citizens be sure to buy no
beef except they know it to be good.
The exposures that have been made |
show that there are men engaged IN the
.ale of beef in our markets without
principle, without character and lost to
vi sense of honor and decencv. We do
lot know who they are, but that they
10 exist is shown by our correspondent.
These persons should be avoided by all
lonest buyers of meat

Laph An, Elected.

At last the long agony is over and
Eldridge Lapham is elected United
States Senator from New York, for the
short term to succeed Mr.. Conkling
after between seven and eight weeks OF
an obstinate political struggle. The
Republicans throughout the country
should be profoundly graceful 1or this
successful termination Of a better con-
test Whatever may be said Of Conk-
ling, with all his arrogance and vaaity
it must be admitted that he is an able
intrepid and bold leader, consummate
master of political strategy, and to him
are the Republicans OF New York in
debted for more than one victory, al d
perhaps to more than one defeat. Mr..
Conkling had been accu, toned SO long
to Rule the Republican party of New
York that his vanity led him to believe
he owned it, and there is no doubt he
1hl..5ught when lie reslgued his position
as United States Senator he expected 10
be sent back in flying colors to continue
his attack upon the President.
Mr.. Conkliug has learned by this tine
that he does not own the Republican
party. He has learned that he can 90
so far in lis imperial sway but no far
ther, and it is only on account of his
brilliant services in the past, that he
has been tolerated so long as he has.
Mr.. Conkling may vet be a useful and
a safer leader than he has ever been if
he will but profit by the lesson of yes
terday, lut he must learn at the same
time that the people behind the throne
constitute power stronger than the
throne itself
