WESTERN MINING NOTES.

1t is announced that tin ore in very
pure state has been found near Pueblo,
Cox, and that it is probable that tin
smelling works will be erected in the
city this year.
There seems to be no longer any
doubt as to the discovery of tin IN Sher-
idan county, Wye. Assays received show
tin in paying quantities and development
work is being pushed on the claims.
Six cents per pound seems to be the
prevailing price that buyers are offering
for frst-class wool on the platform in
Nevada. This. they claim, is all the
Eastern market will justify them IN pay
ing.
A strike has been made in the Log
Cabin lode at Vulcan, Col, few days
ago. Six samples of the ore from diff
ferent portions of the vein gave returns
of from $500 in gold to $11OO in gold and
twenty ounces in silver.
Two or three months ago one little
house and a tent stood near a small
mountain at the edge of Sulphur valley,
Ariz. Gold ~wase discovered and the prin-
cipal claim bonded for $275.0OO. and now
Pearce is thriving town, with stores,
restaurants, saloons, of course, and
boarding houses.
While in the act of blowing in the
foothills fourteen miles from Salinas,
Cal, a farmer named AnZar discovered
what promises to be rich gold ledge.
He brought specimens of quartz filled
with free gold to town and parties who
have gone out there have brought in
many rich pieces.
Someone started a story recently at
Los Angeles to the effect that when one
of the reservoirs from which the city
water mains are fed was cleaned out
recently the body of a Chinaman and
twenty-one babies were found. While
the story was absolutely untrue, it new
ertheless found many believers.
According to the Cripple Greek
Times the last returns from Arcadia ore
show SS2 to the ton. AT depth of 80
feet in the shaft there is now a 2O-inch
streak of ore that runs from $500 to
$1,000 and the quantity and quality of
ore improves with each foot of develop
ment.
The Spokane Democrat states that the
Old Dominion mine has been proved by
extensive development extending over
three years and costing $5OO,O0O to be
the bonanza of the Northwest, and with
the improvements now contemplate will
soon begin to make profit at the rate
of 100000 month.

Painting a House on Compulsion.

Some time since a well-known barris-

fashionable west end row, unwittingly
bound himself to paint the whole exte-
rior of the dwelling. On finding what an
expense he had made himself liable for
simply smiled and declared that the
bond must be fulfilled Thereupon the
willy barrister caused the whole front of
the house to be painted in strips Of vivid
green, yellow and pink, greatly to the
chagrin of the fashionable neighbors,
who were tenants of the same landlord.
In vain did the landlord storm; the bar
