Ourhy County.

From the Ouray Times.
Develop your prospects and you will have
no difficulty in dsposing of it if i; is worth
anything If it is not, the sooner you let it
alone the better.
Persons seeking for remunerative invest
ments in mining property will overlook their
own interests if they fail to look over what
Ouray county can offer.
Concentrating works are needed in Ouray
county more than any other class of mining
machinery. Almost every gulch could keep
a concentration of average capacity constantly
at work upon ore which cannot be utilized in
any other way and there are several locations
where it would not be at all difficult to give a
concentrating mill 100 tons per day to work
up. Persons having concentrating mills that
will handle our ores without too great a per-
ccntage of loss can find ample room for such
mills in thisscounty, and plenty Of work for
them to do. We hope to chronicle the build
ing and successful operation of a number of
such mills in Ouray county during the com.
ing summer.
There are other portions of Ouray county
that hold out just as strong inducements to
say this in disparagement of Red Mountain,
for it deserves the attention it is receiving,
but to give the assurance TO prOspcctors thr;
there is plenty Of good ground for them to
hunt over in the search for the precious
metals. The county is not half prospected,
and we expect to record many rich discoveries
during the present season which have been
run over for years.
Every owner of mining claims should patent
them just rs soon as the required amount of
work has been done on the same. This gives
him a perfect title, prevents litigation and
makes his property more readily saleablc.
After patent is secured, and before, the
owner should do all the development work
he is able, and prove the value of his proper
ty as quickly as possible. In this way he
will show that he believes what he claims for
his property, and will soon reap the reward
of his labor.

We learn from good authority of very
important strike having been made near
Irwin lately. The discoverers are inclined
to be very reticent about the matter, and
don't wish it to be made public at present, as
the find was made upon an old abandoned
location.
The Comet lode situated in Ruby basin and
the Pride of Gunnison claim, adjoining it,
are very valuable properties, and there is no
doubt but that they will be the boss bonanza
mines of this county. These mines are work
ed Systematically and by large force of
men, and have been taking out large guam
tity of ore per day. This ore is very rich in
native, wire, ruby and brittle silver, and will
average $50 per ton. The lucky owners of
this property are among our best miners and
business men, and practical man is the SUI
perintendent of the mine, who has had fifteen
years experience in the operation of mines,
and is without doubt capable of holding
that position with credit Mr.. Levi Marshall
the shift boss on the Home-Again mine, re-
signed his position on that mine to accept
one on the above named properties.
The Forest Queen is still sending its solid
humps of Ruby silver to the crusher of Rose
& Reeds Sampling works.
Mr.. David Schroyer has sold out his inter
est in the Chipmunk claim, an extension of
that Dave will buy up all the old Hopewell
mining stock, and work that mine for all it
is worth.

The New Carbonate Find.

Pueblo News.
The new carbonate strike in the San Juan
country which has already awakened so great
an interest throughout our State, and even
beyond our borders is on Crystal mountain
twenty-three miles northwest Of Del Norte
and extends through belt of country fully
two miles wide. Parties who have been
there claim that it is the most accessible camp
in Colorado, and can be worked advantage
ously throughout the whole year without the
least interruption. There has been no blatant
hurrah about this section but, on the con-
trary, the policy generally pursued has been
to keep very quiet relative thereto. That it
will prove to be as rich field as prolific
Leadville none doubt who are conversant
with the country. People have been pouring
into it in a steady stream during the past ten
days, and indications are that ere the close
of the coming summer several thriving towns
thiclly populated, will spring into existence
in that part of Colorado which is so closely
tributary to the Pueblos by reason of rail
connections. There is nothing ephemeral or
doubtful about Crystal mountain for it is no
Jimtown whoop, but a solid, substantial
country with a vast abundance of rich, ac-
cessble mineral to sustain it handsomely,
whilst other and more pretentious localities
are lang,Iishihg.

Carbonuies in Red Mountain.

Durango Southwest
The recent discovery Of lead carbonates in
immense quantities add another to the many
attractions offered by that camp.
The National Belle is being developed by
skillful management and is beyond doubt
one of the great bonanzas OF the district
There is II tunnel Of about 50 feet on the lower
level, and from this nearly 100 tons of genuine
lead carbonates have been taken and there is
as much more in sight the breast showing a
- foot body of solid ore, "A mill run from
which gives 100 ounces in silver, $500 in
gold, 80 per cent. lead and a fair percentage
of copper. Denver papers please copy.
The Rogers will be another Of our carbonate
and copper bearing mines, the showing being
similar to the National Belle with which
which lode it joins The development work
is being pushed by Jack Rogers and Ike
Barger, two old and experienced San Juaners,
who own this and other claims in connection
with Hon. A. w. Hudson, of Durango.
The Columbia is owned by VIM. f. Merri-
field and. others, and shows lead carbonates
in quantity, and proves that the National
Belle will have rivals before long.
The Abba owned by Geo. Madden, Miles
Corwn and John A. Adams, is being work
ed by the two first mentioned gentlemen, and
shows lead carbonates aud copper. There is
a tunnel in some sixty feet all timbered in
first-class shape.
The Enterprise is another of our valuable
mines. It has been worked all winter and
shows dn immense body of mineral-black
copper and iron.
The Andalusia adjoining the town site, has
a shaft down 10 feet and shows carbonate of
copper and iron. 1t is owned by Gorsagc &
White, of Eureka, and York L Morrison, Of
Red Mountain.
The Jed, better known as the Cave mine,
still holds its reputation as one of the wonders
Of the district. An immense natural cave,

and from overhead, reminding one of the
fairy tales of old, or romance of days gone
by and the wild beasts for inhabitants were
not wanting either, a couple of bears being
the owners by right of possession when the
cave was discovered
The Silver Ledge is still at the front as
mine of undoubted worth. Through the
center of the immense vein of galena there
runs an almost pure streak of gray copper
averaging eight inches in width. This alone
would be bonanza to the lucky owners.
The Last Chance adjoining the Guston and
near the Yankee Girl is being worked by
four men in the employ of Ed. German, OF
Silverton and others. There are three tun-
uels on the property aggregating $50 feet OF
development A large body of fine galena
ore and peacock copper was opened up this
week There is no doubt as to the value OF
this prospect.
The Delta which lies just above the Charter
Oak, has tunnel in 16 feet under cover and
shows considerable galena scattered through
the rock. 1t is owned by Ed. Guild, c. w.
Hackney and Charlie Liddell.
The Hudson confines to loom up as an ore
producer and will ship heavily the coming
season.
The Yankee Girl still ranks among the
peerless as Il producing mine, aud is well
worthy of more extended notice than we
are able to give this week.
John G. Gray and John p. johnson have
been working some valuable claims owned by
them in Dry Gulch, just across the mountain
from town.
Newt. Bowman has gone to lronton to run
a fifty foot drift on the vein Of the American
Girl owned by VIM. Costigan, $. II. Mathews,
J. A. Stout and himself. They expect TO
show up good body Of mineral.
The Yankee Girl miners quit work Friday
morning on being notified Of reduction Of
wages. They went to Silverton in body and
positively refused to work for less than their
former WAGES

Ruby camp.

From the Elk MonntainSilot.
The Rose & Reed concentration will be ready
to treat ore by the middle Of May.
The Illinois tunnel is owned and worked
by Mr. Putnam and Dave Irwin. This pro-
perty is showing up some fine mineral the
last few days. The quartz is thckly covered
with pyrites of iron, and dotted here and
there. among the iron can be seen small cubes
of brittle and ruby silver. This property is
situated on Ruby Hill, continuation of the
same hill that the Forest Queen and Ruby
King mines are on. There is no doubt but
that This claim will prove to be a bonanza
for the owners.

THE Grand Junction Nems is off its base
when its speaks of the Grand Mesa as "a land
of perpetual SHOWS, deep gorges and rugged
heights, land teaming with all the terrors
of mountain travel" The mesa is not holy
terror, but well-behaved plateau, whose
tops will furnish the best summer range for
cattle to be found in Colorado, and it will not
be many years hence when this fact will be
fully appreciated. 1t abounds with pic
turesque lakes and sylvan retreats, and will
be tie spot of all for the summer excursonist.

SENATOR HILLS open letter to Secretary
Teller has fell flat before the public. Very
few are willing to believe that the Secretary
is guilty of malfeasance in office, and if the
Senator has the proofs of this he claims to
have, he should have brought the matter to
the attention of Congress, where the subject
properly belongs, and secured Mr.. Tcller's
removal by impeachment This course would
have been more efectivethan any open letter
that could have been written. The matter
has settled down to fight on some of the
s.deral appointments of the State, something
the public care very little about.
