GOLD MOUNTAIN.
Rich Gold District That Is Becoming
a Big Shipper.

a Big Shipper.
of the Gold Mountain mining district
of Mt Badly. Piute county, very little
was said. printed or known outside the
immediate vicinity prior to 1895; and
then the best that could be said, printed
or known in any vicinity was that for
surface indications no region in the
world could surpass Gold Mountain.
that its mineralized area was vast and
rich in grass-root promises, and that
all it lacked to make of it another
Cripple Greek was demonstrated depth.
What the year of 1897 has contributed
to the information fund of 1896 is proof
positive that Gold Mountain ores run
deep and true, and it remains for 1898
to fulfill the Cripple Creek prophecy.
Two mines have broken into rich rock
a healthy distance below surface this
year. One is the well-known Sewer
and the other the Blue Bird. The Sc
vieE made it's strike in October In the
face of the 50O-fOot tunnel was en-
countered a good body of free gold and
silver ore $50 feet below the groupings.
President Charles Lammersdorf of the
Sewer Mining & Milling company is
reticent concerning the discovery, but
admits the fact as related. In the
lower tunnel of the Blue Bird 240 feet
down, has been struck a seam from
to u inches thick, running from $50
TO $l40 IN yellow.
SENSATIONAL STRIKES.
The sensation of the year was the
August finding on the Breckenridge of
a four-fOOt ledge of quartz. streaked
with blue-black, assaying 631a ounces
gold and 727 ounces silver, a total valu-
alton of $1,706.20 per ton. The follow
ing month, in an open cut 200 feet
south of the August strike, there was
! a I-od Of fz
between porphyry walls in which were
great slabs aGriferOusly smeared. Some
of 1T went as high as $4,000 in gold
and much of it assayed $4,000 a ton
Now a lower tunnel is driving on that
property, and its outcome is anxiOusly
/ awaited for the proof of depth it may
adduce.
In a general way it may be said of
/ Gold Mountain district that it has this
year employed more men and shipped
more ore than in all the years of it's
previous existence.
THE SHIPPERS.
Among its 1897 shippers are the Hol-
land. Miller. Breckenridge, Blue Bird
and Silver King. Something concern

work having been done.
AT the Seals nothing was done until
a few weeks ago, when A. Murphy
made a deal whereby he obtained an
interest in the property. A new shaft
house has been built, and a force of
men are at work at two points in the
workings.
THE HECLA
The Hecla company, after spending
thousands of dollars in their search,
closed dow, their works early in the
spring, but recently bonded the prop
erty to Colonel Wall. The colonel is of
the opinion that the shaft struck bar
rem place in the vein and passed on
through it. He will Immediately after
New Years commence sinking a shaft
some distance northwest from the pres
ent workings.
The Wonder company spent consider
able time searching for the vein, but
during the summer shut down a couple
of months. Work has been resumed

Notwithstanding the fact that Col

the best properties in the camp. 1t has
been explored along GOO feet of the vein
and 5000 feet of drifting and shaft work
have been done. Values range from 81
to So.

The water for the mill is brought
from Opbir creek in pipes, distance
of five miles, and sufficient water is on
the ground to supply not only the mill
but the inhabitants of the settlement,
which is rapidly growing, on the La
Cigale property.
Besides the mill, the company has
built an elegant cottage, an assay office,
blacksmith shop and number of other
buildings
While grading for the mill site an
other vein was uncovered IS feet below
the present vein. This vein has not
been explored, but at the surface it was
found to be eight feet thick. and the

third vein, commonly called the
chest vein, was found $50 feet back
from tie mill. and from the bottom of
Lhe incline a cross-cut has been run 81
distance of 260 feet, to tap the chest
vein below. 1t was found that the vein
discovered on the mill site became part
of the original vein, there being values
all through the ground between them.
One variety OF the ore is a kind of
tale that is hard to leach while wet. 1t
has been found that when baked it be-
comes porous and easily leached Elk

A great deal of work has been done
at the Gladstone during the year, and
the finest shaft house in the camp has
been erected as we'll as quite a number
of other buildings. A 6O-horse power
engine, Bolthoff ouapruple hoist,
ETC., have been installed. While sink
ing a short time ago, a vein of water
was tapped which yields $4,000 gallons
per day. Pumping machinery has been
put in place, and an effort is being
made to increase the stream. 1T is
probable that some of the mining COM
panies will purchase the water, should
the flow continue. The North Mercur
company is developing ground in the
same locality.
GOLD COIN.
The Gold Coin company has done
considerable prospecting during the
summer, and found ore at various
points on their property.

THE DAISY.

At the commencement of the year the
Daisy was only prospect, and not
much of one at that. Ore had been dis
covered AID a shaft was being sunk
but there was no development work
worth mentioning. The Maynes, Scheu
and a few others had faith in the west
dip AID were convincing others that
there was a chance to develop mines in
that part of the district. The vein was
about four or five feet thick and car
ried good values. At a depth of $50 feet
a drift was run to the north a conSid-
cradle distance and here it was found
the vein was eight feet wide. At the
250-foot level two more drifts were
started, and the width of the vein was
found to be Is feet wide. Again 100 feet
further on the incline, drifts were start
ed, the width of the vein at this point
being q feet. The incline has now
reached q depth of 450 feet, and the
vein is known to be SO feet wide. An
other significant feature is the fact
is reached. The whole vein from top to
bottom shows an average value of a
little over 81 ger ton.
The hanging wall is composed of a
good variety of fire clay which carries
gold values, and the chances are that
this material will eventually become
part of the vein. A like condition ex-
lists in the footWall. Development work
has been vigorously prosecuted during
the year and enough ore has been
blocked out to justify the erection of
a mill, plans for which have been
drawn and arrangements perfected for
some time. In the meantime a steam
hoist has been put in place, and devel-

that I would gladly give her ESQ for
them.

Astronomers know that the sun,

other planets, is moving toward q
point In the northern heavens with
great speed. Just what the velocity
Is, however, cannot yet be told with
certainty. Professor Simon New

It was probably between five miles
and nine miles per second. The
bright star Alpha Lyrm lies not far
from the point toward which the sun

Curious Copper Mining.

The United States consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba reports that about nine
miles from that town there are cop
per mines, having shafts from 900 to
1900 feet deep, which were regu-
larly worked until 1852, since which
time they have been abandoned and
have become filled with water, all
but 300 feet of their depth being be-
low sea level. But in later years
copper was obtained from the
drowned mines in an interesting
manner. The water with which
they are filled holds a considerable
quantity of copper in solution, and
this water was pumped out into
tanks. Scraps Of iron were then
thrown into 1t, and the dissolved
copper became deposited on the iron.
When the deposit grew sufficiently
thick it was broken off, and the iron
was thrown back into the water to
gather q fresh incrustation of the
red metal.-Youth's Companion.

are very much used. Bathing suits
are made by the hundred, as Of old, but
they vary more in style and make some
considerable pretense to beauty and
good shape, catering to the extravagant
taste of the day, explains writer in
the New York Sun and authority for
the following:
Surah and satin are both employed
for the expensive suits, but mohair is
the most generally popular material, as
it sheds the water and does not cling to
the person. The ever useful serge, fan
mel and cravenatte are not altogether
ousted from favor by the more elegant
silk and mohair suits, for many still
prefer the wool material. They are made
very prettily. with a sailor collar Of
white or red, with knot and pointed
ends of the color tied in front.
The favorite style Of bodice is tho
blouse, with belt to match the collar,
but some Of the models have q box plait
in the back, which is continuation Of
the collar, holding it in place. The low
necked baby waist, with q narrow yoke,
is liked by young girls, but the prevail
ing style has the wide collars, which
often shape into revers extending TO the
belt in front. Between these Id q. full
vest with a narrow yoke. All the sleeves
are made with a short puff gathered
into band or frill, and occasionally
they are lined with crinoline. Each

In the last extremity Germany would
have an army Of not far short Of
5000, 900 trained men, while "a, 900
men could man the two hundred
