Mining Items.

The work of sinking on the Aspen
mine, west Of this city is being continu-
ed, and the ore is gradually improving
in both quantity and quality with depth
Every indication is favorable, and that
the mine will eventually become promi-
nent among the leading gold producers
of the Hills there Is every reason TO be-
lieve.
The Mandolin mine few miles west
Of the city, is showing up very favorably
as the werk Of sinking progresses, and
the most infalible evidences Of its value
are visible in almost every piece Of ore
now being taken from the mine. The
owners are confident Of future success
and it goes without saying that their
confidence is fully warranted by the
fattering appearance of the mine.
Mr.. A. Standon returned from the
east Wednesday. While absent he visit
ed st. Joe, Kansas City and Omaha, and
at the latter city was successful in en-
listing capital for the Development OF
nine mining claims nsar Phinney's
camp adjoing Tepse, in which be and
his brother are interested. The Krug
Brewing Assn, Of Omaha, is backing
this enterprise and have put up $4,000
for the development Of the ground.
standon Bros. have already done con-
siderable labor en- these locations, and
have sunk one shaft to the depth Of 78
feet. The ledge is II feet wide and its
ore refractory, averaging about $40 TO
the ton of rock. At present there are
four men working in the mine aid a
few men employed in building a board
ing house under the supervision Of c.
II. Cummings of Hot Springs News.
RICH STRIKE.
The present owners of the Durango
property made lucky move when they
purchased the mine about year ago
for something less than 5000. A rich
streak Of ore was found at the bottom Of
the ere chute that will average between
$500 and 5000 per ton in gold, and from
which point the owners have shipped
enough ore 10 repay them for what they
have expended a number of times over.
A shipment made to Kansas City some
two or three weeks ago netted the own
ers in the neighborhood Of $4,000. A
gentleman we'll posted on mining mat.
ters stated yesterday that the Durango
is probably one of the richest mines for
its size in the United states.-Pioneer.
AN IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION
Tuesday morning in company with
John Il. Brennan and Tom Sweeney of
Rapid, arrived Professors King of New
York, and Ryan of San Francisco, to
make a thorough examination of the
Tea group of claims, on which the FORM
er gentlemen have bond. The inves.
| tigation is made in the interest Of east
ern capitalists, who have been well
! -n.eased, viii the report sent them by
valuable property have unlimites
means, and are lesdy to pay the price
if the tests on the ore, which Professor
King, one of the best known mining
engineers in the country, is now max.
ing, prove satisfactory. For the last
two days he has spent most Of the time
at these mines and has been taking his
samples. Yesterday he shipped over
800 pounds of the ore to Denver for
treatment, he thinking it best 20 have
the ore sampled there. so to get returns
of all the values in the rock. The mea

The Nebraska gold craze IS still! on
tap. New strikes are reported every
few days, but. as yet, the output ha, had
no perceptible effect upon the gold
market. The latest discovery reported
is located on farm near Calhoun. and
owned by one Otto Wagner. In this
instance it is quartz discovery, and
the stone is said to contain gold to the
tune Of SIG per ton. This find is con-
sidersd of far greater importance than
the placer discoveries which proceeded
it, and it is thought by many that, here
after. quartz discoveries will be the rule
in that state, placer finds having, for
some inexplicabls reason, fallen into
disrepute, and are no longer popular
with the masses. The Wagner discov-
cry, as described by one of the metro
politan papers of that state, is hum
mer from the grass roots, and being
located So near Omaha, will, no doubt,
be the means of breaking the long con.
tinued spell of dullness which has been
so grievieusly apparent, end Of placing
it pre- eminently upon the permanent
plane of prosperity and plenty. The
paper saws the deposit is extensive, is
not float. but solid quartz. was found in
the bottom of a we'll at depth Of 100
feet, and its owner wouldn't trade his
little hllly farm, upon which his bon
ANA is located, for tho Pennsy ylyania
railroad. The paper further says that
Mr.. Wagner is going to develop the
property thoroughly by putting in two
blasts, by which means he proposes to
blow hole through the entire vein,
after which he win run tunnel under
the vein. It is also stated that il is ex-
pectsd the two shots will make a hole
in the quartz two or three feet deep,
when it will be possible to obtain an
accurate idea Of the extent and value of
the vein. With such stupendous ex.
ploitations as are above outlined, which
contemplate tunnel under tho bottom
of the lode. and the blowing of hole
through the whole shooting match, II
win readily be inferred that the milk,
If there is any contained in the cocoa
nut, will be fairly located and utilized
| for all it II worth.
