Red Mountain,

From the Review.
Allison and Mcdowell are working on the
Berkshire Boy, which is showing about six
inches of iron and other decomposed mineral
Sixty thousand dollars have been offered
and refused for the Champion lode within the
past ten days. The Champion is one of the
best claims north of town.
B. A. Taft, of Silverton, and Charley Taft,
of this place, have struck some fine black
copper ore in the Russell lode, just north of
town.
The Acorn lode is being steadily developed
A cross-cut tunnel is being run which is now
in Is feet This lode lies just below the
Hudson.
Charles Ray staked the Bonanza claim on
Thursday northwest of the Yankee Girl,
which will no doubt prove valuable pro-
perty. 1t shows about three feet of galena
and quartz.
w. B. Todd is now working the Hope lode
for the owners, Messrs. Rogers Co. He is
sinking shaft in the bottom of the tunnel
about % feet from the mouth and is down
about 5 feet, and is taking out some very fine
looking mineral.
We understand that reports are being cir
culated that the Yankee Girl mine has play
ed out. For played out mine the Y. G. is
doing well. Two men are breaking down 10
tons of ore per day, and two are kept busy
wheeling out and sacking the same. 1t is
said that $780, 900 worth of ore has been pro-
duced since November.
A contract has been let to Miles Corwin
and George Madden this week to build n
cabin upon the Abba lode, which is located
just below our town. They are also to run n
cross-cut tunnel $50 feet unless the ore body
shall be sooner reached. The Abba is val
liable property. The cross-cut is now under
cover about 10 feet. In the open cut on the
lead they have exposed body of mineral
nearly Is feet in thickness.
Messrs Rogers and Barger began work this
week in new place on the Rogers lode,
which is about 800 feet north of our town.
The first blast exposed to view large body
of quartz and spar interspersed thickly with
copper carbonates and black copper. This is
on the north end of the claim, and wherever
the claim has been opened it shows the same
mineral, while the indications in the 40 foot
cross cut, near the center Of the claim, shows
that large body of mineral is being ap-

Mammoth works,

From the Aniinas Forks Pioneer.
We are informed through reliable authority
that as early as practicable in the spring large
and expensive concentration works are TO be
erected near Animas Forks. The amount of
capital to be expended in the construction Of
these works is designated at not less than
500, 900, with an additional negotiation of
several thousands of dollars in mining prop
erty. They also propose to erect smelling or
reduction works at either Silverton or Du-
range. The scheme was recently broached in
New York, and our informant, who is iDdi
rectly interested in the project, advised us to
suppress its publication until later. but we
are so well acquainted with the success Of the
men and their purpose that We are obliged to
unfurl the good news to our readers. If the
matter is taken in hand and earnestly began
it will be carried through and made success
The syndicate of investors is composed Of
Canada and New York capital, who propose
to follow out the Crooke plan, of making
success of their investment. We are prom
ised further information in due time, giving
definite facts and figures us to the location
and plant of the new project. The parties
pushing the scheme are old San Juaners and
who are doing the business upon n purely le
gitimate plan.

irhe Rio Gr.nde depot at salt Lake.

AhAN HSsO AStEPOt Us ShAs A<SssVs
From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Tribune has heretofore given a full
and complete description Of the extensive
Improvements made by the Denver & Rio
Grande, in the way of roundhouse, shops,
depots, track yards, etc. These are so exten-
sive that nothing but visit th9e will give q
person satisfactory idea of them. Atpresent
only the roundhouse is in use. Engines are
slowed there when not on the road and four
or five locomotives are undergoing repairs.
A small boiler and engine are located in the
roundhouse for the purpose of operating the
lathes and planers, of which there are used
some half dozen machines. At Denver the
company have complete set of iron working
machines, including planers, lathes, drill
presses, hydraulic presses, slotters, etc., to-
gether with such wood working machinery as
is required to do all kinds of ear work. This
machinery is held back so as to be transport
ed here over their own road, and will arrive
in this city Immediately after the roads COM
pletion in April. The machinery to come
also includes Il large steam engine and boilers
to propel all the machinery in use at the
shops. 1t will only require few days to
get all this in running order after its arrival,
and then the company will employ large
force of mechanics.
. The blacksmith and boiler shops will have
steam hammers, ample to forge the largest
kinds Of iron used in railway machinery.
Provision has already been made for this by
forming foundation of long piles, driven so
close us to make very solid base upon which
the heavy blows of the ponderous hammers
will have little, if any, effect. The founda-
tions to the car and joint shops were laid last
season, and the superstructure will be erected
be needed.
The freight depot and PLATFORM now com
pleted, are neat in appearance and substan-
tial. At present small building is in Iise
for passenger purposes, but is soon to be su-
perseded by n two-story frame structure of
beautiful design and excellent arrangement.
This structure is being built ut the shops In
Denver and will be sent here next month,
aud set up on the solid foundation already
prepared for it.
The yards are being filled up and covered
with gravel. Many other improvements are
being made about their property in this city.
The company owns ten blocks in straight
line, running south from Third South street,
and lying between Fifth and Sixth West
streets, and they also have two other blocks,
making in all 100 acres, which give ample
grounds for very extensive operations.
Delta chief., 1883-03-21

On the third of April, our city election
takes place, but as yet very little interest has
been taken in it. While these officers are
generally regarded as of little consequence,
we look upon the selection of municipal
board as one of the most vital importance.
1t is very essential for the welfare of the town
that its board is composed of men who are
thoroughly acquainted with the wants and
necessities of our rapidly growing city. The
board should be selected from men whose
term of residence in the west has been of suf-
fcent duration to acquaint them thoroughly
with western usages, and who, when action
is necessary, will act without delay men who
have done something for the town in the past,
and who are now doing something for the
town men whose interests are of character
that will make it impossible for them to ad-
ment of the town without sustaining serious
injuries themselves thereby. Never we think,
in the history of Colorado We're the affairs of
a town more judiciously administered and so
little fault found with the officials than those
of Delta during the term that is about to close.
If the petty, factional jealousies are laid aside,
and the people unite in the election of an
equally good board, our prosperity will con-
ti1e; but on the contrary, should incompe-
INT, irresponsible men be selected, the condi-
<tion will change very materially in the next
Twelve months We have no candidate whose
claims we wish to advance, we simply ask
that the better judgment of those who are
most directly interested be allowed to prevail.
In such an event we, with the community at
large, shall feel perfectly safe.

Intense Excitement a, Nan Miguel

From the San Miguel Journal.
Last week we made mention of the discov.
cry of vast body of sandstone, in the vicin-
ity Of San Miguel, carrying gold. The results
Of the miIl-runs are kept secret, presumably
10 give those who are on the ground a chance
ITO get their stakes down before the rush be-
gomez too great. Last evening it was report
ed that the rock carried sufficient free gold to
pay net profit of four dollars per ton. This
morning, even before daybreak, the stampede
broke out, and for an hour or 80 the steady
tramp was heard upon the sidewalks of par
ties on their way to the mesa, carrying pick
on one shoulder and two or three stakes upon
the other. Daybrei,k found the town almost
deserted Of its male populace, and from n
party just up from below, we learn that the
mesa to the north Of the river was swarming
with prospectors. We are unable to give the
exact value of the rock but as the sampling
works have been employed testing the rock
for several days, this sudden outbreak leads
us to infer that someone has caught on to
something. Should the excitement continue
we shall visit the ground next week,
