L.yXEVIATIGE,

One OF the greatest ore reduction
enterprises inaugurated the present
season is the Holden Lixiyiation
plant at Aspen, Colorado, the com
pany owning the exclusive right to
the Russell process in that district.
The plant is especially designed to
work low grade lcad-silver ores and
is themost complete ever constructed,
syst, 900 having been expended in
the erection Of the works. Extensive
experiments have thoroughly demon
strated that the process can be worked
with great profit and all immense
quantity Of ore has been accu-
mulated by direct purchase by the
company which could not
be proftably handled by the
smelters. The works are now in
operation, and the value OF the pro-
duct seems to fully establish the sue
cess of the scheme. Aspen advices
being that ''some of the product Of
Z. r. Holden's lixiviation works at
Aspen are worth 100000 car,
though it is not billed at any such
value. Rates are made according to
the value, and the higher rate is
really an insurance. 1t is merely q
question OF taking the risk of ship
ment, and the risk is not great, be-
cause the material is not shipped in
such IL form that it is easy to steal,
The only way thief could make
much of a haul would be to cut out
a car load, and it would then be Il
prize conumdrum to him to get rid
of it. Most of the shipments are to
Philadelphia. Mining Journal.

DIVIDENDS.

As dividends payers the mines of
Montana lead the country. During
the month of November the amount
of dividends paid by all the mining
companies in the United States,
which make public their profits, was
l,516,625. Montana properties paid
about one-fifth of this amount, or
s369,ooo. Since January 1881,
the mining companies of the country,
whose profits are public property,
have paid stockholders $l6,O24.S42
in the form of dividends. The
Montana companies on the list >have
paid one fourth of this amount, or
s4,Oo0,7OO. But even with this
handsome showing the list is far Fl; m
complete. The Anaconda company,
some Of the largest and best paying
Butte mines, a number Of properties
in jefferson and Meagher counties
which are steady dividend payers,
scn.e in Lewis and Clarke, and in
fact oil over tho state there arc prof
table mining companies whose divi'
dends are not published. Helena

rNGEATES AND RENEEADES.

In every community there arc men
who owe such wealth and importance
as they enjoy to the general growth
and prosperity, rather than to their
own business abilities or efforts. The
fortunes they have acquired being
almost entirely in that classification
of value which Henry George calls
the ''unearned increment" That is to
say, they have grown rich largely
through the development of the COM
munity, of the rapid increase in value
due to the public spirit, the energy
and enterprise of their fellow-citi-
zens. Such men are apt to be cold
bloodod, mercenary and selfish.
They are in capable of any broad
conception of The oblig gations of
the man of wealth to the COM
munity in which his fortunes have
been heaped up, and the patriot
ic pride which leads man to rejoice
in the prosperity of his own city, and
the generous impulses which prompt
him to personal effort and sacrifice to
promote the general welfare are un-
known to him.
Such men are probably as rare in
Minneapolis as any city in the land.
Yet it is to citizens Of this very type
their scfishness, their indifference to
the city's welfare that Minneapo-
lis owes the loss OF one of its largest
and most valuable manufacturing in
dustries to a rival city. 1t is not nee
essary here to enter into specific and
personal details. Every citizen of Min
ncapolis understands the manufactory
and the men referred to, and all realize
that the loss thus sustained is attribut-
able solely to the unpatriotic, niggard-
ly and narrow spirit of men who owe ali
they have and all they are to Mime
apolis, and to the local pride and
liberality which without ANY help
from them and often in spite Of them,
have built up the city and given to
it a worldwide fame for enterprise
and progress.
The currish spirit which clutches
everything within reach and gives
nothing in return is too despicable
for the liberation of fair minded
people. The man who disregards
the claims upon him by a community
in which and out of which he has made
his millions, who has soul so small
or so dead that he feels no pride ir
his own city nor any ambition te
MAINTAIN its enterprises Or promote it:

SILVER IN WISCONSIN

w. c. Tonkin, a practical miner
from Nevada, recently found silver
in paying quantities near West
Superior, Wisconsin, and is reported
to be working profitable silver
mine. The location is OH timber
land, yet the surface indications were
SO good that thei Me-, ada miner
purchased an option on the land and
the day following began prospecting
in earnest. He wasI laughed at, but
himself and small Shift of men only
worked the harder. He kept the men
drilling and the last blast after
dark the same evening dislodg-
ed an immense pile Of the soft
formation, sending tons of dirt and
rock flying down the gulch below,
and very nearly cost the men their
lives. At dawn Tonkin went down
himself, and says that when he saw
what the blast had laid bare he did
not call down the men, though it
cost him an effort to contain himself.
About thirty yards Of the ledge had
crashed into the ravine and every
where along the newly exposed sur
face the free metal glistened in it's
bed Of silica. He called to the men
to throw down ropes and sacks and
as much dirt and rock as they could
carry he picked cut in handfuls at
random, and the party, went into
town loaded with wealth. Climbing
up and down the hill had reduced their
clothing to tatters and bruised them
badly. The result of thirteen ASSAYS
show that the ore ranges from thirty
ounces, the lowest, to 312 ounces Of
pure silver to the ton, with an aver
age of over fifty ounces. Tonkin
says there is enough in sight to pay
for building a railroad and level the
ground. The peculiar nature of the
formation made experienced men
hesitate to accept as true the reports
Of the silver find, but tflc men hauled
in the metal, and that settled it.
The woods are now full of prospec-
tors aud capitalists are cultlvating
Tonkin's acquaintance. The land
in that section was comparatively
worthless a month ago, but now
hundreds of dollars per acre is con-
temptuously refused.- .-Ex.

MINING LAW.

The Supreme court of Colorado
has decided that it is the policy of
the law to require the claims of all
parties to the issuance of patents.
The proceedings before the land de-
partnent are judicial in character,
and the publication of notice as pro-
vided by the statute brings all par
ties into court. If they stand by
and allow the statutory time for fiji
ing adverse claims or for bringing
suit in support thereof, to elapse,
their rights, so far as the same mi ght
have been determined in such pro-
ceedings in the absence of fraud or
mistake, are forever lost.
The parties who file adverse
claims in due time but afterwards
allows the same to be dismissed for
failure to prosecute, stands in no
more favorable position than if he
had failed entirely to file adverse
proceedings.
The defendent in the pending case
having failed in his adverse proceed
inln, the Court held that he could
not be permitted to show in the
courts that the party applying for
the patent had not fully complied
with the law.
COURT DECISIONS On LIENS.
n recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Montana is of special in
terest to mining employees, as it af
fects their right Of lien upon the
propery on which their labor is per-
formed. The court below had grant
ed decree of foreclosure upon a
lien for labor performed on mine
in jefferson County. The plaintiff
had performed work on the property
under the directions Of one, Swan,
who was working the mine under an
agreement with the company that
owned it. The agreement provided
that Swan should "pump water out
of the mine, strengthen up and re-
pair the shaft when necessary, run
levels both east and west from the
shaft SO far in either direction as the
ore found would justify, properly
square the levels and lag the same
overhead, mine the ore from over
head in workmanlike manner" 1t
further authorized him to stope and
mine SO much ef the ore as he might
desire, and that the ore SO mined
should be taken to certain mill for
concentration and the concentrates
delivered on board the cars, at his
own expense, and shipped to the
slnclter that would pay the highest
price for the same. He was to have
the use of the buildings and ma
chinery on the property and under
took to pay and discharge all liadili-
ties incurred in the prosecution of the
work. III full compensation for all
work and material he was to receive
eighty per cent. of TIE returns from
the sale of the ore.
The Supreme Court holds that this
agreement was a lease and that un-
der the provisions of an act Of the
extraordinary session Of the Fifteenth
Legislative Assembly the interest Of
the proprietors in the leased premises
could not be charged with a lien for
labor performed thereon for the use
and benefit of the tenant and lessee.
The Judgment of the lower court
was accordingly reversed. Review.

Is credited with making the following
statement: "The Grand Trunk isn't
building or buying roads in Michigan at
present. 1t doesn't own the branch run
ming here, known as the Cincinnati, Sag
inaw & Mackinaw railroad, but Is operat-
ing 1t under an agreement with the own
ers. Arrangements have been made with
the firm of Drexel, Morgan & Co., New
York capitalists, to build a line from Ga
at-ka beach to connect with Gen. Ayers
road. Drexel, Morgan q Co., are heavily
interested in the Alger road, and when
the line is completed from here to Alger
the whole route from Alpena to this city
will be operated by the Grand Trunk. lido
not know when work on this connecting
link will be commenced, but it will pro-
badly be in time to complete 1t before the
close of next season."

eide whether j. d. Turnbull was the
strongest man in this county to present
