ton of the people interested in the

The brother and brOtherin-law of
John Sullivan arrived in this Land d.
rect from New York last week. III
they like the country they will stay
but there is hardly one chance in ten
they will be pleased with the country.
The change from a large city to this
comparative hermitage is too great for
the ordinary mortal on the first trail.
1t is a little peculiar that people will
wake up IN the middle of the night and
wish that morning would come so that
they could get up, and then sleeping
again will wake up in the morning and
wish that the whole night was before
them that they might sleep longer.
Perhaps dear reader you do not do this,
but there are those who do.
]. B. MILFORD and bride arrived in
Chloride Monday evening. Mr.. W.
it will be remembered is the machinist
who has charge of the concentration
construction. He will remain here
now until the plant is in running Or
der. During his absence he visited
GunnisOn, Colorado, and secured him
as a wife a Belvidere, Illinois, lady
who is now with him.
Fulton and Traub, n of the
Alta, are now at work upon that pro-
perty. They have begun driving a
a tunnel to intersect the shaft at sixty
or seventy feet depth where the ore
body appears to be the strongest. The
tunnel will be about fifty feet long and
will greatly facilitate the working of
the property. 1t is the wish of the
owners to furnish ore to the concen-
traitor if it shall be shown that the ma.
chine can handle its character of ore.
Frank Saucier has removed his head
quarters to Chloride now and adver-
tises in the BLACK RANGE that he
would like a chance at all contrrcts for
ore or any other hauling. The Sau-
cier Brothers outfit consists of ten wag-
ons and bulls enough to handle eight
additional ones which will be added if
business justifes 1t. The Saucier boys
are too we'll known in the range to
need any introduction and it is there
fore sufficient to let the people know
that they are ready for business in this
line.
Caldwell and Gillem the owners of
the Silver Monument mine, intend to
Immediately construct a within on this
property preparatory to beginning
work upon it. They argue c~onclusively
that if there is money for others in
working the mine there must be some
for them and they will have it. The
mine is in much better condition for
working for pay now than it was a
year ago and there is no reason why
they should not make a barrel of
money from the working of it.
The Ivanhoe mine sold at. sherif's
sale last month brought $4,000. The
sale was made to j. D. Brooks for j. b.
Alice a Boston man who held a deed of
trust on the property for $4,000 which
was given to raise funds for working.
There was no contesting bidders and
the sum realized was expected to be
barely sufficient to pay Brad Williams
judgment and costs. To those who are
familiar with and interested in the
property it would be interesting to
learn what became of the $4,000 work
ing capital. 1t certainly never did the
duty intended for it.
Judge Adams having drained the
upper shaft Of the Alaska of water by
by means of the lower drift, concluded
to do a little more prospecting of the
ledge in that locality and on Monday
he put two men to work here. A full
force still drives the bottom ~crosscut
and the ledge sought is not far distant.
If the Judge catches it as rich as he is
justified in expecting he will make
Rome howl" in the vicinity of Graf
ton. This added to the probable start
ing of work upon the lvanhoe will
bring an era of prosperity to Grafton
not a whit behind her n%elghbors. Graf

The owners of the White Signal are
actiy ely preparing to feed the concen-
traitor. They have looked over the
ground and have decided to build a
road out via the Adirondack gulch.
The task will be an expensive one and
the boys will receive gladly any assis-
lance which will be contributed to
them for the work from the citizens of
Chloride. 1t is the expectation that this
mire a furnish twenty tons per day
and will be made to do its best. The
ore works nicely and at the present es.
