MINING NOTES.

The mining outlook in Custer county is
improving.
Every dividend that is paid by the mines
of this state brings many times its value
in the way of returning investments
There is said to be fine prospect for oil
in the vicinity of Grand Junction, and n
company is TO be organized to bore for that
article.
Fabulously rich gold strikes arc reported
from Colorado Springs and Castle Rock At
both places the discoveries were made ac-
cidentally.
Colorado bids fair to make splendid ex-
hibit of her mineral wealth at The Amster-
dam, Holland, exposition, and large
quantity Of ore will be shipped shortly with
more to follow.

A new coal mine has been opened by
NJ. Rush Warner & Co, on Spring creek,
near Montrose, in Gunnisou county. At a
depth of sixty-tive feet n four foot vein of
superior quality of bituminous coal has
been struck.
A national mining society, organized

Stonewall No. ., near Hancock, for $50, coo,
payable in Mexican dollars.
Several of the mines about Silver Park
and Oak Creek have been developed con-
sidcrably during the past few months, and
the result has been in every way satisiac-
tory to the owners There can be no doub,
that this section is rich in precious metals,

FEARFUL DESTRUCTION.

The late snow-slidc on tho Howard Ex-
tension mine, near Irwin, covered an area
Of nearly mile in width. The building,
machinery, miners cabins, and all the
property belonging TO the Howard Exten-
sion, the Oaks, the Old Shick, the Durango
and the Ruby Chief, together with all the
ore ON the dumps, wcro swept away, and
buried sevcnty-hve feet deep in the gulch
below. So great was the mass that ii
swept across the gulch, and destroyed a
number of houses on the southern side.
The side Of the mountain upon which the
slide occurred, it is said, is left share MS
mans hand, NIL the trees having been cut
OF ut the surface ns II by knife. The
loss to property is estimated at S25, 900.

Blockades ON the Union Pacific-Pns-
sengers snOwbOund.

From the Laramie City, Wyoming,
Boomerang, one of our most welcome ex-
changes, we learn that the Union Pacific
suffered a heavy snow blockade during the
latter part OF last week. The snow fell all
along the line, from Cheyenne to Green
River, distance of $50 miles, to an aver
age depth of two feet, and q wind spring.
ing up on Thursday drifted it into cuts
and SHOWS sheds, completely blocking the
road All trains were abandoned on Fri
day, one freight train near Green River be-
ing completely covered, the smoke-stack
of the engine only being visible. AT Lara
mie City all business was suspended, de-
livery wagons being unable to make their
rounds An effort was made on Thursday
20 get the west bound express over the hill
from Cheyenne. She was started out,
drawn by three engines, preceded by
snow-plow, propelled by three huge "Mo-
guls.h The plow reached Laramie, but the
train, although following in its wake, ow-
ing to the rapidly drifting snow, got stuck
on the hill, between two stations. Another
train was started from Laramie the same
evening, led by huge snow-plow, driven
10y three powerful locomotives. The snow
plow reached a station sixteen miles east
of Laramie, but the train got but ten
miles, when it stuck in cut four miles
from any station. On Friday morning
snow-plows, men and provisions were
started from Cheyenne west, and from ar
annie east. simultaneously, with the hope
OF afiording relief to the two trains of
snow bound passengers. After fcur hours
of hard struggling the Cheyenne plow
reached Sherman, thirty miles, and was
within three miles of one of the delayed
trains. At . p. IN. the Laramie plow had
reached Red Buttes, ten miles from Lara
ME. By Friday evening the track was
cleared across the Sherman hill, and trains
again began TO move.
All day Friday six snow-plows were en-
gagged on the Laramie division. This di-
vision is $50 miles long. and covers the en-
Union Pacific company is one Of the most
energetic snow fighters in America.

This has been busy week in both

TIE CARBONATE CAMP.

The expression that "Leadvillc is play

but such persons only exhibit their igno-
rance or total disregard of facts in making
such an assertion. The mineral product
of Lake county for the twelve years from
1850 TO 1873 was principally from gold
placcrs and amounted TO S6,i0o, 900, From
1873 to 1879 the product was gold, silver
and lead, and during those six years reach

the total output of the county was but

FLAME AND FLOOD.
Cleveland Suffers n Terrible Conflagra-
ti0n and mundatiOH.
Northern Ohio and Eastern PennsyI-
vnnia Submerged.

Cleveland, Ohio, has had her baptism of
of destruction. On Saturday last, after an
incessant rainfall OF twerty-foar hours, the
Cuyhoga river and its affluents in the vi
cinity of the city became swollen to such
a degree as to food mills, lumber yards and
ether estahli lishmsnts. Early. on Saturday
morning the waters Of KingsbuTy run, nsev-
ing spread over hundreds of acres of low
lands, attacked a leaky petroleum still of
the Standard OH Company, a considerable
distance above that company's main works
and the city. The escaping oil and refuse
were swept down with the flood past some
partially submerged boilers, when they ig-
nited, and instantly the waste Of waters
became sea of fame. Several oil tanks,
the aggregate contents of which were about
10000 barrels, were consumed, together with
a number of sheds, agitators, engine house,
engine, etc, belonging to the Standard Oil
Company. The fremen worked heroically,
and at last checked the progress of the fire
just as the gas works were reached, thus
averting terrible explosion. The losses
and damage by the flood and fire reached,
perhaps at least 81 100000. 1t is estimated
that 230o0,000 feet of lumber and from
100000 to 100000 shingles were car
ried out into the lake.
ever known, the water being higher than
in the memorable flood of 1859, and the
F. damage is widespread and serious.
The whole of Northern Ohio was flooded,
bridges carried away, and railroad and tele-
graphic communication interrupted.
Near Mansfield 4 freight train went
through bridge. One brakeman was in
stantly killed, and another lost n leg. On
the Pittsburg, FortWayne and Chicago, be-
tween Mansfield and Alliance, three bridges
were washed away.
At Mount Vernon the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad bridge was carried away as
train was crossing the Kokonlo. Half of
the train and the locomotive plunged in, and
sank out of sight. One brakeman was
drowned
At Madison, Strasburgh, Olmstead Falls,
Warren, Corrinna, Franklin, Meadville,
Akron, and other points, great damage was
done to mills and other property by the
breaking up of ice gorges. Railroad beds
were washed out, and general destruction
caused
Several streets in indianapolis were in
undated, doing great damage to manufac-
taring establishments. Numerous railroad
bridges in that section We're carried away.
Pennsylvania also suffered terribly At
Pittsburg the Allegheny did disastrous
work. At Oil City the damage viii reach
100000. At Allegheny City, Parkers, Free
port, kittring, Clarion Bradford, Franklin
and Titusville, the flood was unprecedent-
ed, tearing out railroad bridges, submerg-
ing and sweeping away houses, barns and
fences, compelling hundreds TO fee for
their lives. The floods began to abate on
Sunday afternoon.
Later-On the evening of the 1th and
morning Of the Sth another rise occurred,
which proved fully as disastrous as that of
Sunday. All the rivers of the middle states
were out of their banks, and thousands OF
people were driven from their homes.
