tons. This year he will plant 1900
pounds providing he doesn't sell out, as
he wishes to do. He wants to go back
to prospecting.
An instance was given inthe Justices
court this week of the subterfuge
which a mar will be guilty Of in order
to beat his creditors out of their dues.
The man who will aid and abet such a
transaction is necessarily a rascal him
self.
The Alaska hosting machinery in
Guiding boiler and engine is offered for
sale [see notice in this paperl and 1t is
a bargain for those in need of it. The
outfit was purchased new a year ago
and none but skilled engineers have
had the handling Of it so that it is in
really better condition to-day than
when it left the shops. From its quail
ties having been thoroughly tested on
the Alaska there is no question as to
its ability to do the labor required of 1t.
1t will be sold everything complete for
nearly fifty per cent. less than cost.
The editor of the BLACK RANGE is
in receipt of an invitation to the we'd
ding of Charles E. Aver to Miss Hat
tie Viles, which took place on the 5th
of this month at the residence of the
brides parents at Muscotah, Kansas.
The invitation came a little late but
was received with thanks. Charley's
many friends here will be pleased to
learn of this wise move upon his part
and will join with this paper in wish
ing him a long life of peace, pleasure
and prosperity.
The st. Cloud road being about COM
pleted, development work is already
resumed in the mine. The first pro-
ject to be carried out here is to con-
tinue the tunnel to an intersection with
the shaft. This will make the tunnel
about one hundred and fifty feet long
and will greatly facilitate the work of
getting out ore, of whichthere is appar-
emily no lack. The amount of ore in
sight in this mine even with its limited
development work is estimated at $780,.
900 or $4,000.
The tunnel of the Caledonia location
which is being run to catch the Silver
Monument ledge on the second west
extension is now ifty-three feet long
The ledge is expected to be close al
hand and liable to be exposed with each
additional blast. Charley Myers ant
his co-owners are satisfied that thu
ledge is there and they are equally con
ident of its thorough naturalization
The RANGE expects to have a bois
trously triumphant article on the re
suit next week.

Messrs. Traub and Fulton, the own
ers of the Highland Mary, on Chord
!, creek have begun a tunnel just benin,
their cabin, expecting to catch the min
eral crevice at that point. They ar
twelve feet in and already have cope
stained rock and every indication o
the ledge being close at hand. Th
Highland Mary shows nice mineral il
one place, but no more work could b
done at that point without machiner'
for handling the water.
One of the chief demands of tn
. times is an engraver who a make
cut of a COW for brand advertising pun
poses which shall not seriously ma
the beauty of the paper printing it
Those now in use have the muddy as

I The extreme likeness of a snow ma
i by daylight. One is as unsightly a
the other, but the happy medium ha
s not yet been reached. The e%ngraver
f talent does not appear to catch tn
t line of cow cuts.
Work on the American flag mine
: Hermosa has consisted lately of sink
ing the straight shaft for the purpos
t of reaching the contact. At last az
n counts this shaft was siXty,three fee
deep and the character and indicati0
G of the formation is daily becomin
n more satisfactory. The formation 0
the surface lay fiat with an east an
v west direction. Atthe present depth tt
rock qualifications have straightene
up until they stand perpendicular an
f have twisted around to a north an
q south direction so that the shape {
the shaft is necessarily changed and Il
q windlass turned half way round.
