now.

The recent strike of rich ore in the
Forest Queen lode near the line divid-
ing it from the Ruby King, is not as
tonishing to those who have studied
the chimneys or zones Of ore in this
champion vein of the Gunnison. 1t is
undoubtedly the same chimney en-
countered in the Ruby King tunnel
in the drift east thereof. The speci-
mems of this ore, one of which we have
before US, would establish beyond a
doubt the theory advanced by Prof.
Bauerman Of England while here, that
this vein reaches down into the earth
to q heated zone, and formed con-
duit through which thermal water
flowed to the surface, and under great
pressure and high temperature-having
great solvent powers-became loaded
with various minerals matter. "This
theory" says Professor Ncwberry "of
the filling of issure veins, i. e., by
heated chemical solutions coming
from below, is supported by such an
array Of facts that it must be accepta-
bic to all who make a careful and un-
prejudiced study of the subject
The sample of ore before us con-
tains portions of the sandstone wall
rock, completely embodied in crystal
lied quartz, and also fragments Of
black slate, around which crown OF
beautiful crystals cluster and glitter
like diamonds, while Immediately
under it is to be seen aggregated
Jumps of brittle and ruby silver.
The general and accepted theory
now is, that as depth is attained this
assure will assume great regularity and
gigantic proportions and contain mar
velously rich ore, even as the Bassick
at depth of 100 feet is now doing,
yielding ore worth from s., 700 to
$40, 900 per ton.

THE NARROW GAUGE INFLUENCE.
A party signing himself "a Tax payer
in the Argus of Friday, had something to
say about the "Rcal Issue" and that the
narrow gauge is used for the purpose Of
diyertiDg the minds Of the people. Is il
not in order to say that this cry of "a
Taxpayer" is for the purpose of divcrting
attention of the people from the only real
live issue that is now before them,
namely, whether or not the narrow gauge
shall be allowed perpetual protection at
the city's expense without contributing
therefore, A prominent citizen on Eighth
street said to-day (Friday)that certain parties
were Boosting that three thousand dollars
had been sent here TO carry the election in
favor Of the narrow gauge-that that was
the cheapest way to get into the city. That
sum would pay for several advertisements
as the communication referred to appear
under that head
With reference to influence in
the city council, to which "Tay.
payer" refers, will say that
"inhuenoe" secured themoney that was ex.
pended on Cache bridge from the state
Legislature; the bridge therefore costing the
city nothing. "Induence" certainly was
prominent in funding the city debt, in
which the city has and will save $270,000.
As for Railroad avenue the party is
both ignorant and stupid, not to know that
the improvement did not cost the city one
cent; but was all paid for from sales of a
portion Of the 100 foot strip.
The man tells an ignorant, prejudiced
falsehood when he says that the city is
bankrupt. 1t might be bankrupt, if its
citizens were all such avaiicious misers as
could name. Owing to the provisions of
the law, the expenditures on account of
the late food could not be paid out of the
present appropriation bill; but had to be
borrowed mot, however, from "a Tax.
psycr') to comply with the law. Of Tax.
payer does not believe this let him read
the city charter and Mr.. Lsnsden's opinion,
written in 1861 The city taxes, levied
for the year 1881, are being
collected now, which, with the license due
on the LIST of May, will place 10 the city
treasury larger fund than we have had for
two years and ample to meet the wants of
the city during the coming year.
If"Tax.payer" were disposed to be fair,
he would not present only the shadows,
made black with falsehoods, hut would alse
have something to say Of the good which
1.-THE influence" has done. He would prob.
ably not have to 70 vesy far back and rum.
mage through records, musty, dusty and
long without force, to find that said 'in.
auence" had taken an important part in
saving the city from threatened total de-
structi0n.
Yes, voters, look the issue squarely in
the face and do no. let these archaeological
crsnks throw antideluvian dust into your
eyes to blind you to the real live issues Of
the day. LIVE Issue.
