Beautifyins the Grounds.
The Big Contact Mining Company.

Inc ABOVE named company owns
one OF the largest mining properties
in the state of Colorado, consisting
of five patented claims and a patent
ed mill site of five acres situated on
Horn Silver mountain, Eagle county,
Colorado, about two miles distant
from Red Cliff. Four of these claims
are located on the lime belt, which
is the same contact on which the
lannon's Iron Mask and Belden mines
are located. The Iron Mask is pro-
ducing about $40, 900 per month and
the Belden at the present time is
producing over 1000 net per dav
Extensive operations were carried on
at very heavy expense by the former
owners of the Big Contact property
10 or y years ago and the develop
ments at that time showed as large a
contact in this property as is found
in any OF the best producing proper
ties located on this lime belt, and at
that time such an extensive body of
ore was opened up in the Big Con-
tact to warrant the erection of large
stamp mill on the Big Contact mill
site, intending thereby to overcome
the excessive freight and smelling
charges; but experience proved that
smelling was necessary for treatment
OF this ore and nothing remained to
be done at that time but shut down
the mine, as the ore was not of suffi-
cient value to pay the enormous
freight and smelling charges which
in those days amounted to 500 per
ton; the average value of the ore be-
ing about $50 per ton it would entail
a loss of $50. This same ore can now
be freighted and smelted for about
so per ton, leaving profit of about
$40. and now mines along this line
among the largest producers and best
PAYERS in the state of Colorado. The
old workings in the Big Contact
property from long idleness have be-
come unsafe to operate in, and new
tunnel has been run in a distance of
$50 feet; about $50 or 800 feet still
remains to be done to reach the ore
body which was opened up in former
wears. Fifty thousand shares of
treasury stock are offered at 10 cents
per share for money sufficient to do
this work. The capitalization is
600, 600 shares at 81 per share full paid
and worcestershire, 200, 600 shares are
set aside for treasury stock. The
money from this 10000 shares will in
all probability be sufficient to reach
the ore body disclosed in the old
workings, and all indications go to
show that this property will make as
heavy producer as any mine on
this lime contact. which, Judging
from the output of the mines along
this contact, will make every inves-
tor in this stock a handsome profit
and income investment. The tunnel
should be finished by Aug. l and the
Big Contact numbered among the
steady shippers before many months.
The location is such that the proper
ty can be worked the year round.

provements.
Black Hawk Watch Tower, that de-
lightful point of pleasure and inter
est on Rock river, will be thrown
open to the public for the season
next Sunday. The occasion will be
signalized by the attendance of a
brass band and possibly other special
attractions.
Improvements Being Made.
Since the opening of the season the
street railway syndicate has been
busy with a system of improvements.
Sievers & Anderson have now about
completed beautiful picnic and
dancing pavilion which is located
about $50 feet west of Black Hawk
Inn. 1t is 60xS0 feet in size and of
Gothic design. The first floor will
be provided with tables and chairs
for spreads, and the second floor will
be devoted to a ball room. Anoth-
er great improvement, and one that
will prove of much benefit, is the
building system of waterworks.
At the pump house. erected near the
foot of the toboggan slide, is situated
powerful pump, operated by an
electric motor. This forces the
water from the well into a 10000
gallon tank, erected on a knoll near
the main entrance on 50-foot tower,
but at a height of 175 feet above the
river. From this tower the water
is piped throughout the buildings
and the entire grounds, and will
amply furnish all the water for every
purpose desired. All the buildings
on the ground are to be Illuminated
with electric lights.
Beautifying the Grounds.
A new system of walks run
through the grounds. and until the
grass which has been sown within
the enclosures which are fenced of
by barbed wire, gets to prouting,
visitors will be cautioned to keep on
| them. Considerable shrubbery has
been put out as well as number OF
towering plants, and people are re-
quested not to destroy the trees OF
shrubs or buildings, but to take the
| same pride and interest in them tina,

Everything on a Small Scale.

The third popularity. the small scale
of everything, is one that runs through
all things Japanese. The men arc
small. the women are small. the ba-
bies are the tiniest things l ever saw.
Their homes are apparently children's
play-houses. seldom over one story
high. and one is constantly knocking
ones head in passing through door.
Their tableware looks as though made
for dolls; the tea-cups are not over an
inch high and the teapot holds about
two ordinary American cups. 1t is
almost needless to add that they have
narrow-gauge railways. small locomo-
tives and cars and also small fire-en-
gines. In fact one may say that every
thing is small. except the kites and
prices they charge foreigners. The
former are sometimes huge affairs and
the latter prove that the Japanese have
q luxuriating imagination. l know
OF q case where Japanese de-
manded $500 for an article he after
ward sold for just 20 cents. At a
flower show one is never expected to
offer more than third or fourth of
the first price. The dealers in curios
are another amusing lot. They are
generally glad to get one half to one
fourth of the original price. and some
times even then they get more than
