up to make a luting for the furnace.
Then 1t was discovered that the whole
upper inner surface was thickly stud

w. d. Currier and his partners, who

promising prospects by a horrible
stencil, something like the mixture of
the fumes Of exploded giant powder
and burned rubber, and extremely nau
seating. There seems to be an inex-
haustible amount Of 1t. and no let up to
the escape. No one with the necessary
scientific knowledge has as yet visited
this phenomenon, and. therefore, no
good theory has been advanced as to
its cause.

DECISION.
Sheep Men Cannot Use Railroad Land
for Grazing Purposes.

An important decision has been rem
dered by Judge Knight in the case of
the Union Pacific Land and Water
company VS.. Rigby & Holden for tres
pass. The suit involved the right Of
sheep men to Craze their iocks upon
iands leased by others from the rail-
road company within the 20-mile grant
Limits.
The court held that such grazing
would be trespass; that the govern
ment sections which alternate with
the railroad sections. are open to all
parties for grazing purposes and that
care must be exercised in crossing the
railroad lands. This practically shuts
out the sheepmen. and the cattlemen
who have leased large amounts of the
railroad land, are rejoicing at the OPP
portunity the decision gives them to
control the ranges.-Sun-Leader.

BOARD OF TRADE.
An Organization Perfected Yesterday
Afternoon.

The board of trade trustees met yes
terday afternoon It 4 o'clock al the
mining exchange headquarters, and Or
ganised by electing the following ON
oors:
President-A. s. Peabody.
Vice, president-W. H. Holiday.
Treasurer-John Huempfner.
Secretary-W. d. Thomas.
The Hahn's peak road matter was
taken up and discussed for some time.
Mr.. Holiday stated that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 had been made by the
legislature Of Colorado to build a road
through the northern part of the state
from Fort Collins to the North park,
but NO practicable route could be found
without coming in sight of Laramie.
He believed that the route from this
city to Hahn's peak was the. best and
the shortest and thai the board was
.moving In the right direction.
On motion. Mr.. Fox was appointed to
view the road and to interview the
ranchmen along the line, his expenses
being guaranteed by the board.
The secretary was instructed to write
to parties who had asked for informa-
tlon in relation to our route and to cor.
respond with the newspapers Of Routt
county.
Mr.. H. G. Balch having resigned
from b board, Mr.. b. c. Buffum was
elected In his stead.
The board then adjourned.

T%ELLURIuM ORE FOUND

1t is now stated thai the ores found
less tellurium, and therefore 1t is very
important to prospectora to know that
the ordinary assay is really no test OF
the values contained therein. Recent
tests in that district confirm the sus-
picion that the development of the
camp has been kept back many years
by reason of the fact hal this strange
quality OF tellurium ores was unknown
10 the ~prospectOrs. The only success
full way to arrive at the value of tel
lurium ores is by means of the wet test
assay or by a mill run made for tellu-
rum.
Just at the present time there is a
deep interest in this city in everything
pertaining to Hahn's peak and there
fore the following special to the Denver
Republican. under the date of April 16,
is reproduced:
All the roads leading to this place are
now in an almost impossible condi-
ton. Most Of the valley country Is
bare and the roads in many places are
~knee-deep in mud and slush. For the
next two weeks we will have the mos,
disagreeable reason Of the year.
Reports have been circulating in
camp for the last 10 days Of rich finds
of tellurium rock three miles west OF
Columbine, and regardless of the fac,
that that section was covered with from
two to three feet Of snow 1t has been
entirely staked with claims.
That the finds are genuine no one
now doubts. and many specimens are
shown that have BEEN roasted and have
been turned into magnificent gold
specimens. No assay returns have yet
been had, as the assayers are all on the
outside stocking up for a vigorous sea-
sons work.
Carr. Ostrom & Skinner, In their Sill
yer Leaf tunnel, are now in $50 feet and
have cut several streaks Of aurfferoua
rock that give them great satisfaction,
The stages coming into camp are all
loaded to their full capacity, the arri-
walls consisting mostly Of parties who
we're here last season. and they each
vouch for the fact that under existing
conditions of the roads the trip is q
hard one.
New gold ledge finds are reported
down the divide between Fertilization
and Snake river, and 1t is reported thai
a great many people are going in there
via Rawlins.
A new territory is beginning to elicit
considerable attention and several

NEW PLACER MACHINE,

Salt Lake Tribune: Information
reached the'city yesterday that the Inn
mense Bennett placer machine, being
operated on Green river by the South
Park Mining company. was performing
excellent service and fulfilling the ex-
pectations of the men who paid $751; 900
for Its construction and transportation
to Green river.
The machine, which II run by cleo
tricity, performs every detail Of placer
mining automatically, from shoveling
up the gravel to saving the gold on the
plates. AS nov operated, about 127
yards of gravel are being handled
daily. though the machine's capacity
Is three times that amount. No clean.
up has yet been made. but the plates
are reported covered with gold.
Mining men are watching with much
interest the Bennett machine, as Its
success can an immense and much,

LONDON INTEREST IN MINES.

London al directing its attention to

done before, and this disposition was
stimulated by the South African trou-
bles. West Australia has had>a con-
siderable boom and nov 1t is believed
that American mines will be taken up

AT THE REFORM SCHOOL.
DIR. Whitman Told the Boys About
Geo. Washington.

Geo. Washington.
DR.. Whitman, the president of Columbian
University. Sunday went out to the BOYS
reform school, and, taking charge of the
afternoon devotional exer cises, he improved
the occasion to tell to the go boys there
why the memory Of George Washington is
honored. He said that each one could not
be President-that for each one present to
have chance at the Office would compel
some to live 500 years, this not counting
the contingency Of any one having a second
term; but that each boy in his place in life
could pattern after the boy and the man
Washington - always doing his duty
bravely, cheerfully and unselfshIy-and the
result would be noble, helpful manhood
which was more to be priced than any
presidency. The exercises closed with an
propriate songs and a benediction by Dr.
Whitman. The audience Of these unfortu-
nate youths--many of them present through
no wrongdoing of their own, but because Of
the misfortunes and neglect of parents
enjoyed the occasion to the full, as also did
DR.. Whitman, whose cordial promise to
come again and take charge of the Sunday
services gave intense satisfaction to the
officers and trustees of the school who
were present from the city.
Among those present from the city Of the
trustees were Messrs. Clay, Burchell
Thompson and Carpenter, Superintendent
Of Schools B. T. Janney and Superintend-
ent Wilson Of the Associated Charities
and Messrs. H. G. Jacobs, W. w, DUNCAN
and S. w. Curriden.
