a University Eoy's Success.

The nomination of E. L. Regennltter
by the fused Democrats and Populsis
of Clear Creek county at Idaho Springs
on Tuesday is of some interest to Boul-
der people. The success of all univer-
sity students is viewed with pride, but
that OF an individual, who has on account
of some especial merit commended him.
self to their favor, awakens more than
ordinary interest. During his sojourn in
Boulder, Mr.. Regennitter allied himself
with the Democratic party, and though
on account of limited time he did not
take a most prominent part, he was
known in their councils. In his student
life his energy and tact won for him the
friendship of his college mates and his
unequalled scholarship and assiduity
placed him high in the esteem of the
faculty. Since his graduation, reports
OF his success have been numerous. HIS
nomination undoubtedly means his elec,
ton. and his election will but mark a
step in career OF usefulness.

WARDS COMBINATION.
Five Big Mines in the sulphide Belt Form
Consolidation.

Constellation
The recent formation of a combine of
FIVE big mining companies OF Ward is
receiving marked attention. The Den
yer News this morning gives detailed
history of the various properties. 1t says:
In this combination there are five dis
tinct corporations, the Dew Drop Mining
company, the Dew Drop Mill company,
the Adit Mining company, the Adlt Tun
mel company and the Nj Wot Mining
company, representing total capltaiza-
ton of s5,75o,coo owning seven partially
developed mines and in timber privi'
leges, tunnel sites and undeveloped
prospects. total of more than $50 acres
right in the heart of Ward district. 1t is
now proposed that this extensive terri
tori. shall be developed by common
tunnel system and more than FIVE miles
of tunnels and laterals are now projected
to accomplish this. The main line of the
tunnel will traverse the Dew Drop lead
to the base OF Bald mountain, acquiring
depth of I,I25 feet. Five mines will be
thus opened on the main line. A lateral
will be pushed south and other mines
opened, but it is the north lateral that
gives to the whole enterprise the assur-
ance that the entire wealth of the district
is destined to be opened by this system.
To the north of the main line 5000 feet
lies the old historic Columbia vein. A
portion of this great vein and all the
country lying between the two leads is
now the property of the Big Five. They
have bought the Nj Wot mine, at one
time the greatest gold mine in the state,
and it is at this point the Adit tunnel
system will touch the Columbia vein.
From this point it will push on into the
region to the north and east and west
and in less than three years will have
opened the entire district from 1000 to
5000 feet deep.
The men who have undertaken it ex-
pect an annual gold production of S.,
COO. The three-drill compressor is
being replaced by a ten-drill machin.. I.
the second largest ever brought into the
state, The present single bollerls being
now replaced by a bank Of four boilers
with a 400 horse power capacity, and in
stead Of the former 4o-horse power en-
CINE I25-horse power engine occupies
the ground. 1t is proposed to drive
double track tunnel go feet month.
The importance OF the project does not
rest wholly on the tunnel system. Con-
nected with this is the mill company,
which is now busy with plans for perfect.
ing ard enlarging the present 100 ton
mill that stands at the mouth Of the tun-
mel, Here all the ores of the district Will
center and this mill will be made COM
plete reduction plant with an ultimate
daily capacity of 500 tons. The survey
of the new railway has been run across
the mill yard and station and ample
trackage has been provided. 1t is ex,
pected til It more than ST 100000 will be
required IN this enterprise and that ulIl
mately employment will be furnished to
