The Passing of the Press.

A writer in scribner's Magazine
propnesies the displacement Of the
newspaper by the photograph. Says
the writer: The voices of the whole
world will be gathered up in the eel
luloid rolls, which the post will bring,
morning by morning. to the subscrib-
ing hearers. Wallets and ladies' maids
will soon learn how to put them in
place, the axle CT the cylinder upon
the two supports Of the motor, and
will carry them to the master of mis-
tress at the hour of awakening. Ly-
ing soft and warm upon their pillow,
they may hear it all, as if in a dream
foreign kilograms, financial news,
humorous articles, the news Of the
day."

The Syndicate tunnel has been en-
larger for a distance Of 200 feet. 1t is
the largest and best mining tunnel our
reporter has ever visited. The work Of
charging the tunnel is done altogether
at night. 1t is the purpose of the COM
pany to enlarge the tunnel the entire
length of their property-some 1000
feet.
The diamonda drill which has been at
work On the Rico-Aspen company's
mines encountered a large flow of gas
which necessitated the laying of Of
quite a number Of miners the first Of the

and the drill hole will be plugged as
soon as possible. No further work will
be done with the drill until the ada

In that camp a number Of good paying
gold properties have been developed,
II still others are likely to be found.
Most OF the veins in the belt show well
in gold. Some good finds of gold have
been made in mere seams of quartz. but
generally the veins are Of good size
several feet in width.
"More or less gold is coming in every
week from the placers. Could a good
supply OF water be obtained. all these
placers would for a time yield big pay.
"Dry-Washing" machines are being sue

these placers are favorable localities in

The Cniifornia Discovery.

4 The San Francisco Call of.June GOTH,
gives the following account of a rich.
gold discovery in Nevada county, Cali
fOrnia:
Charles Stepp, president of the Home
Mining Company, returned a few days
ago from a visit to the company's Cad
mus mine. near Nevada City, bringing
with him specimens of ore from g re-
markably rich ledge brought to light.
This ore it is estimated will average
10000 to the ton, and the excitement
N the neighborhood is at fever heat, az
may well be imagined.
"W. J. Smith Of the Savings Union
Of this city took a piece of the rotten
quartz, weighing less than two pounds.
and by pounding it up with a .
ter's hammer obtained nearly three
ounces Of free gold. The quartz is
almost entirely decomposed and large
''gobs' Of leaf gold stick out in fantas-
tic shapes. Some of the smaller speci-
mems contain nearly as much gold as
quartz. They come from an outcrop-
ping that was found by accident about

From Rawlins comes the information

has taken the contract for the construc-

company's canal, which will be 3S

to.work the placer grounds Of thescom-

Wyoming and Colorado lands. State
Engineer Mead is the consulting engi-
neer for the work, and he will put two
engineers in charge OF construction for
the Providence company. Work on the
canal will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. In.adition to the ditch work there
will be 1000 feet Of tlume and two
miles of wooden pipe. The contract for
the pipe and for laying it has been let

Failure of the Mining Expedition:

The Mining Review Of Denver gives
the following explanation Of he failure
Of the proposed Mining Exposition:
We are unwilling to believe that the
failure Of the Exposition is due to any
lack of enterprise and public spirit on
the part Of the people of Colorado, or to
any feeling Of petty jealousy in regard
to the persons in control Of the move
ment. The real difficulty doubtless lies
in the fact that the state has not suffi-
GENTLY recovered from the disastrous
panic Of 1893, incident to the closing Of
the India minis, to be in condition to
safely assume SO great an undertaking.
Herein lay the mistake Of the able
and energetic promoters of the EXPOSE
ton. Each mansexperiences in Ills own
person the terrible financial depression
which renders it necessary for him to
count dollars as lie formerly did hun
dreds. but it is hard for him to realize
that his apparently prosperous neighbor
is in like straits.
Perhaps. after all. the million re-
Quired for the Exposition can be better
invested il developing the mines Of the
state: and If we miss the outside capi
tai which it was hoped that the Exposi-
ton might attract, there will be much
consolation in the fact that a greater
proportion Of the profits of mining is re-
tanned at home.
TO sum up the whole matter, il an
peared that every person in Colorado,
with insignificant exceptions, was in ia.
vor of an exposition-till asked to sub
scribe for stock. Then it was discovered
that each man expected other people to
furnish all the money.

ssThere are six lodges on the Cadmus,
some pitching from west to east and

est discovery in the district for years
past. and at present it is impossible
to estimate the extent of the main
ledge until the shaft is sunk. The pre-
diction that the ore will run $4,000 til

chimerical.'

Ell Paso County.

FrOssard and Van Rees' lease, also
on Mineral Hill, is looking very well.
1t is intended to sink the shaft to a
depth of 200 feet before commencing
drifting. Ore running as high as $500
to the ton is found in some Of the
pockets in this lease.
Gold Hill is improving all the time.
The prevalent fashion of ~sub-leasing
In this camp has enabled much work
to be done Witch would never have
been undertaken by the Colorado
Springs companies owning the differ
ent prospects. Among other leases we
notice that of Claypole and Brown, on
the northern end of the Conundrum,
which has a shaft Of nearly t%hirty-fve
feet in depth. The lessees on the Te-
monry, in Poverty gulch, are rapidly
putting up their shaft house.
There are no less than twenty-five
sets Of leasers working on the Law
renee town site. Several of the leases
have the appearance of developing
into shippers.
The Cripple Greek sampler is work
ing nicely and has contracts for ore
enough to keep it busy for some time.
The Mt. Rosa company are about to
put up a steam hosting plant on the
shaft which is now. being sunk on the
company's ground on the Victor town
site.
The cyanide mill at Florence is PROV
ing a big success under Mr.. Argall's
management. 1t treats from seventy
live TO 100 tons of ore daily, and it's
capacity will probably have to be in
creased.
A carload of ore has been shipped
fromtb Home Run.
There is considerable activity in the
vicinity of Gillett. and a good deal Of
low grade ore is being turned out.-Cor.
