p,ti.in Mining News.

From the Mining News.
More ore is now being taken out Of the
Silent Friend than ever before.
II is reported that the Midnight mine is
abou. to be transferred To New York parties.
Hard, Ford x Co. are negotiating for n
lease the Legal Tender mine, owned by
Ferry, Robinson and Dellar.
Work is progressing rs1'idly nj the Isle,
mill, and we informed the mill will posi-
lively begin operations April first.
Twelve tons Tone carloadl of ore on an av-
crage per day are being taken out of the ST.
lent Friend. The ore runs from $50 to SEQ.
Another assay this week on ore from the
Gold Cup returned Si57 per ton. in the pro.
portion of Z ounces gold and 10 ounces silver.
The workmen in the south drift Of the ST.
lent Friend have opened up 6-foot vein OF
grey copper lead, gnlena and iron ore. 1t is
very rich.
Some breeze has been stirred up by the re.
ported strike of n vein of coal about mile
above town, but whether II is well founded Or
not we prefer to le, development testify.
Ten tons of ore from the famous Volunteer
under the new process. If the process proves
a success, ns it undoubtedly WILL 400 tons of
the Volunteer ore will be treated Mt once
About seven miles from Pitkin, on the west
side of Ohio creek, n new strike has been
made of a very fine and high grade silver ore
which looks difieren, from anything yet found
on Ohio creek. 1t has none of the character

Special dispatch to the Denver News.
GUNNIsoN, March 2S.-Gunnison is jubi-
liant. Gunnison is booming. Every man
you meet says shake" For several weeks
past it has been known that an eastern COM
pany, with almost unlimited capital, has de-
cided to locate iron and steel works at some
point west of the range, and in Gunnison
county. The exact locality, however, has
been Il question ofdoubt until to-day. The
greatest strife has been between Crested
Butte and Gunnison City, but telegram re-
ceived this afternoon announced the result of
a meeting of the directors, held in st. Louis
last evening, removes all doubt, and Gunni-
son City takes the cake.
The nature of the works will be different
from those at Pueblo, and on a much larger
scale. The company starts with capital of
$1,000, 900, and its original plant will cost up
ward of 100000. They will be located
within mile of the city limits, and ground
will be broken within sixty days, and prob
ably sooner.
This assures the future prosperity of Gun
nison and its surroundings, and means that
within few years she will be the second, If
not the first, city in wealth and population,
of any city in Colorado. Is it any wonder
that everybody say 'shake"
This evening as the news spread among our
citizens, hundred of people gathered on the
main streets and in short order bpntires were
burning, anvils firing, and everybody con.
graduating his neighbor. Short and pointed
speeches were made by many of our prcmi-
nent citizen, all expressing gratitude to those
far-seeing capitalists who have recognized
Gunnison as the great iron and coal center of
the Pacific slope
Delta chief., 1883-04-04

AN interesting question in law is likely to
arise between the counties of>AIesa, Delta and
Montrose, and the county of Gunnison, as to
whether the three new counties are liable for
any part of the debt of the mother county,
as at the time of the last tax assessment the
three new counties were within the limits of
an Indian reservation. Or in other words the
validity of last years assessment by Gunni-
son county on property in the reservation
will be questioned The law requires the tax
assessment to be made on the first of May,
and the reservation did not cease until the
2sth day of July.
Delta chief., 1883-04-04

LAST Friday was memorable one in the
history of the old reservation. At 80 p. m.
of that day the last spike connecting the two
ends of the Denver & Rio Grande road, was
driven, about fifteen miles west of Green
river, in presence of Colonel II G. Dodge,
the general manager, NJ. F. c. Minis, general
passenger agent, and Mr.. r. b. Cable, general
superintendent. Through freight trains are
now running between Denver and Salt Lake,
and next Sunday through passenger trains
will commence on their new schedule. Only
about thirty-fve miles of track yet remain to
be laid, between Salt Lake city and Ogden, to
make connection with the Central Pacific
road. The Denver & Rio Grande, by its
connection with the Central Pacific on the
west, and the Chicago, Burlington 4 Quincy
and its connections on the east, will form gle
scenic transcontinental route from ocean to
ocean, and soon. become popular with the
travelling public. Long may she wave.

ANY time within the present month will be
good season for planting wheat. Wheat
planted the first of May, last year, on indif-
ferently prepared ground, and with insufi-
cient means of irrigation, yielded over fifty
bushels to the acre. This season, with the
bitches completed and running an abundance
of water, the yield per acre will be higher
average. Wheat will be the staple product
of this country in the future, the yield of
which will be almost beyond compute. 1t
will not pay to depend entirely on raising
perishable vegetables, for the market is easily
Overstocked and they must be sold and con-
sumed in very short period to prevent loss.
But wheat is an article that can be kept from
one season to the other without danger, and
as commodity has comparatively fixed
value, fuctuating very little the year around.
That market for all the wheat that can be
raised in this county can be had right in
Delta Is almost beyond doubt. A first-class
Touring mill will be put up at this point this
season unless our farmers are blind to their
own interest. 1t is useless to expect a mill
man TO build a mill without some show of
grist to grind, and if the ranchmen wish to
demonstrate their anxiety for the establishing
Of this enterprise, they can do it most effect
uaiiy BY planting abundance of wheat

the midst of green groves, the river Jordan is
displayed its entire length, and the lake
ITSELF with mountains rising from its very
shores, reflects in the clear depth the feecy
clouds, the tree-covered slopes, and the dis
tant peaks of snow. Everything is fresh,
green, soft and beautiful. Cattle feed in the
valleys; there are waving fields of golden
produce; and the Wasatch range on the east,
and the Oquirrh on the west, send forth tall
spires which are capped with pines, naples,
ash and willows. BY the side of the lake
stands Provo, a favorite watering place, and
one with many attractions. AT Bingham
Junction branches of the roads extend to Alta
and Bingham, two important mining towns
of the Territory, but the main line continues
uH the valley and soon reaches the famous
Mormon metropolis.
The work on the road has been greatly
hindered by bad weather, but the worst trou-
BILE has been the transportation of the ma
terial to the western end of the road The
Union Pacific, having no desire to aid COM
pctitor in reaching Ogden, the eastern ter
minus of the Central Pacific, Nut such rate
on the transportation of rails that they had
to be shipped by the Atchison, Topeka d
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific to San Fran
cisco, and thence back to Utah over the Cen
tral Pacific. A large amount of the rails
used on the western end were brought by ship
from England to San Francisco, and thence
to their destination. The supply of rails
failed several times, and the total distance
covered from that end was only 96 miles, from
Pleasant valley to point 13 miles beyond
Green river.
The equipment of the western part of the
road will be pushed as fast as possible. The
Pleasant Valley road was furnished so
wretchedly that new equipment was matter
of necessity. A depot, all ready to be put
together, is on the cars here and will be taken
to Salt Lake City andput up at once. Shops
will be established at Grand Junction and ut
Salt Lake City. By the time the gap between
Ogden dkd Salt Lake is closed everything
will be in good shape, and Colorado will have
another first class outlet.

WE have it on the authority of Governor
Crawford that there will be first-class four
ing mill erected at this point this season if
ranchmen will raise the necessary grain to
supply it. One thing is certain, there must
be cooperation between the millman and the
ranchmen, or else the one or the other will
be the loser. The gentleman making the
offer is one of the best known miller in the

DENVER, March 24th, 1883.
To the Trade: The extremely low prices
that have been and are now ruling for the
products of merchant bar mill, the uncer-
tain fuiu.e of the iron and steel business of
the country, the necessary sharp competition
caused by capacity largely ii: excess Of the
demands of the country, compel every pre-
ducer of iron to take advantage Of all methods
of reducing the cost of manufacturing and
increasing the quality of their production.
As we find that we can cheaper the cost OF
manufacturing bar iron, mine rail, etc., by
removing our merchant mill from Denver I"
Bcssemer, we have concluded to make such
removal during April. We shall then be in
n much better position to meet the demands
of the trade by making all sizes and shapes
of iron, being able to use new puddle bar.
We shall make iron equal in quality to
any made in the country, and hope to estab-
lish for our merchant bar n reputation equal
to that which our nails enjoy.
We shall improve our facilities, and place
ourselves in position TO fill all orders
promptly.
Our policy towards the jobbing trade Of
the State will in no way he affected by this
move rs we intend to pursue the same policy
in the future us we have In the past.
We shall carry sufficient finished iron in
stock to supply the trade during the inter
ruption incident to removal which We do an.
iicipate will exceed week.
