 A deed has been filed for record from W. Parari to Walter Smith ct al for the Roadside mine, Tiger dis trict.
 John s. Jones has filed location notices for the Chsparrsl, Ticonde- roga tunnel site, and the James G, Blaine mining claim.
 Thirty tons of ore from the Ids l.. mine, in Chaparral district, owned by Rybon and Askew, which was worked at Roberts mill, gave a return of SIS per ton. The ore was taken taken out in two weeks by two men.
 A car load of high gtade ore from the Jersey Lily mine, was shipped to-day. This mine continues to be a producer of high grade ore. and the deeper they get on the mine, the better it looks.
 The Wlnslow Mail is making an effort to revive the old san Juan placer excitement. They will have to find new suckers" to get up any excitement over that country, as the ones who bit few years ago and who got badly bitten in the transac- tion will scarcely do so again.
 The Goodenough mine, in the Santa Maria district, upon which D. c. Thorne has had force of men at work developing it for the past year, shows up a fine body of ore, and the owners will probably put up a large mill. There is enough ore in sight to keep a mill running steadily for a considerable time.
 The shaft of the Zero mins in the Hassaysmpa district is down near ly one hundred feet and when that point is reached the owners will commence stoping out ore againg. The mine has already produced about $50,000 worth of ore even at the low price of silver.
 The parties who bonded the Waters mine, in Santa Maria dis trict are arranging to put up a twenty stamp mill at once. The machinery has already been ordered and is expected to arrive there soon. The property is opened up pretty we'll and large body of ore has been exposed.
 The San Bernardino Times very truthfully says: "No friend of sil- yer advocates a change in ratio. That is a cunningly devised scheme on the part of its enemies to deprive the silver dollar of the sanction of use since since the foundation of our government and make it unpopular because of it's bulk and weight. Re store silver to it's proper and consti- tutional place as money of ulti- mate redemption and the bullion value will take care of itself.
 Cyanide promises to become 6 prominent factor in the new situa- tion and the erection Of plants in many parts of the state to employ it in the separation of gold from quartz means much for the mining indus try of Colorado. Two large plants are nearing completion at Florence, there is one in operation at Cripple Creek, one has been running for sev- eral months in Boulder county and another will be completed in that section in few days"
 The following from the Denver Republican is applicable to this sec tion: 1t has taken time for the miner to become convinced of the necessity to prepare for more economical methods in mining and treating the bodies of gold ore in the state and it will require more time to get up the mills and open neglected veins but 1t is a question whether in the end the miner will not only be gainer from the change but if all Colorado will not be benefited by it. The great CT tonnage will necessitate more miners to get it out, and the mills will employ additional men. While these new improvements go on the silver miner will continue to mine whatever of his ores will pay freight and smelting charges and the gold miner with ores rich enough to stand such expenses will do the same so that losing none of the old. the state will gain in new conditions.
 The old cry of a class of so-called miners of this section, "that our mines do not go down." is being rapidly disproved by the new class of genuine miners who have taken hold here. One of the latter very truthfully remarked yesterday to a JOURNAL MINER reporter that 1t was the miners and not the mines, that did not go down. It is a fact how ever that the mines of this section have had reputation abroad of pinching out at very small depth. The Congress Is down 300 feet, the Little Jessie over 500, the McCabe 300 and other mines from 300 to 700 feet and the experience of at taining depth, in all of the proper ties, where the owners have had the nerve and enterprise to sink, has been that the properties improved with depth. The gentleman referred to above who expressed the greatest faith in this section, as a mining country and as he stated the best in the United States, showed the re. porter two samples of ore, as an illustration of what he based his faith on. One was taken from the Little Jessie at a depth of 500 feet and the other from the McCabe at depth of 300 feet. The Little Jesaie ore showed that the ledge | was good and strong from which it | was taken. 1t was sulphuret ore | and went $340 per ton in gold. The sample from the McCabe mine, 1 while being smaller in thickness, | weighed about five pounds and was | about two thirds free gold. This sample would assay away up in the thousands of dollars per ton. A car load of ore taken recently from this
