DAILY Mine Shut Down.

The DAILY mica mine, bonded sou
time ago to Messrs. Major, Vickers a
Champlin, Of Colorado Springs, upon
which operations have been prosecuted
successfully for the past two or three
months, was shut down on Tuesday on
account Of some misunderstanding con-
corning the contract between the owner
and the purchasers. 1t is impossible
at this time, to state with any degree
of certainty just when this very unfor-
tunate affair may be adjusted, and
operations resumed, and we can there
fore only express the ardent hope that
il may not be long.
1t is passing strange that in nearly
all cases where mining enterprises are
inaugurated under exceptionally favor
able prospects Of glittering success,
something or some other thing inter-
venes to give it pause. Twas ever
thus-especialiy in the southern Hills.

In Successful Operation.

The new gold mill of Alexander &
Marsh at Four Mile has been in sue
cessful operation for the past two weeks.
A clean up after the first six days run
proved highly satisfactory to all parties
concerned, full reaching the highest
expectations of the company. The mill
will continue in operation for q time,
with its present crushing capacity, but
we learn that it is the intention Of the
company to increase it's capacity as soon
as the mine is sufficiently opened up
to justify such proceeding. The ore
treated, which is said to be very abun
dant, is of a free milling and concer-
trating character, and affords a hand
some margin of profit in its reduction.
There are many millions of IONS of
similar ore in the vicinity of Four Mile,
awaiting the necessary capital to treat
it, and it is now fairly safe to assume
that the successful operation Of the new
mill will be the means OF attracting the
required capital in the near future.

New Variety of Grass

A few days ago while prospecting for
minerals near the head of the middle
fork of Squaw creek, in this county, +.
NJ. Hughes made the discovery of a new
variety of forage grass The sample
shown, which evidently belongs to the
alfalfa variety of the clover family, was
about three feet in length, the
heads being about three inches long and
containing about fifty seeds to the head.
The sample showed fifteen stocks to be
the average product Of q single seed,
which speaks well for its prolific char
acter. It's nutritious qualities are evi.
denced by the eagerncss displayed by
animals in eating it, and in its appear.
ance, which at once indicates its su.
perior nutritious character TO tho.e who,
like Mr., Hughes, are familiar with the
characteristics Of tn various forage
grasses Of the west. The area covered
by this new variety of grass, which Mr..
Hughes asserts. is entirely different
from any other found in the Hills. or
possibly in the west, is about one acre.
and lis origin, while 1t will doubtless be
a subject for much specu.ation, will
certainly remain for an indefinite period
a matter of purest conjecture. The dis
covery may result in material benefit to
this region inasmuch as it may be the
means of introducing a variety of forage
grass, peculiarly adapted TO the Hills
regions, the Importance ofwhich. should
its quality be all that is claimed for it,
could scarcely be cyerestimated. 1t will
be watched with much interest by Mr..
Hughes, who is fully alive to the i'm.
portance Of his discovery.

NOTICE TO ~DELINQUENTs

1t is by no means a pleasant task
which now deyolves upon us that Of
calling the immediate and earnest atten-
ton Of those of our patrons who are de-
linquent in their accounts, to the now
absolute necessity Of the prompt settle
ment Of the same. The late fire, through
which our-ofice building and much Of
its contents were destroyed, brings
upon US a loss which is more thar
we are able to bear without serious
inconvenience, and we therefore,
through sheer necessity, appeal to all
who are in arrears, to aid us by an i'm
mediate settlement of their accounts.
The erection Of a new Office building,
and the purchase Of new presses and the
necessary material for continuing the
publication of the CHRONICLE involves
the outlay of n sum greatly in excess OF
the amount Of our present surplus, there
fore the gravity of our situation should
be apparent to all.
We trust tina. appeal may meet
with a ready response, to the end that
we may not be compelled to adopt a
moro harsh method Of obtaining our
Just dues. which under existing circum.
stances, its collection is an absolute me-
cpssity.
