people, principally, other portions of
the county are coming to the front,
while Bull Run district is on the boom,
according to the Times Review, which
says:
j. DeBelesey, a Colorado mining man,
arrived on last evenings stage and this
morning proceeded to Bull Run district
to inspect the Murphy and Curieux
property there. He was accompanied
by our townsrnan, A. H. Smith, who is
interested in the property. Mr.. DeBel-
lesey visited this section in company
with Mr.. Duyal Of the Gold Creek COM
pany few months ago, and at that
time was favorably impressed with the
showing then made on the nine and
expressed an intention of returning as
soon as further development work, then
in progress, should be completed. Since
his visit the ledge has been again cut
in new workings below the original
strike, and shows up as strongly and as
well defined as ever. This work has
removed the last trace of the prospect
and placed it in the rank of mines, it
now having sufficient stopping ground
blocked out to keep q mill running for
an unlimited length of time. The own
ers of the claim are now engaged in
driving third tunnel to cut the vein
in its course further down the noun
tain, and have no doubt whatever that
the ledge will be found in its proper
position, when the workings have
reached the proper depth. No mining
property in the northern section of the
county has attracted more attention
than has this claim, and it is the opin-
ion of all well informed mining men
that the possibilities of the district are
second to none in the country. Several
representatives of we'll known mining
investors have visited the NINE and
Il n INT
ton of returning, and desire to keep
| informed of the progress of develop
ment. Bull Run district will certainly
be the scene of considerable activity
in the spring, as there are number of
claims there besides the one mentioned
above, which have given astonishing
results, considering the small amount
of work done

the entire hill is underlaid with this
newly found ore.
The Big Six opened q vein Of ore
Monday that gives 3,100 ounces of sill
yer to the ton, a few cents in gold and
a large percentage in lead.
A special dispatch to the News from
Leadville furnishes the following adj
ditional information:
The lowest depth at which mineral
has been found in this district was
reached in the Mahala mine recently.
The ore body in this property was
struck at q distance of 1900 feet from
the surface, and is reported to be quite
rich in silver, but the management re-
fuses to make any figures public For
some time past the Mahala property
has been exploring below the 1,000-foot
level. A number of valuable sulphide
ore bodies have been worked out and
the mineral gave evidence of dipping
downward An interior shaft was sunk
some 500 feet from the main shaft and
it is at the bottom of the shaft that
the new ore. has been discovered. Suf-
ficient work has not been done on It,
however, TO make any positive state
ment as to it's extent, but Judging
from the size Of the other ore bodies of
which this is probably a connection it
is safe to say that the ore will prove
quite bonanza to the mine P. c.

Encourage Prospecting.

Upon the vocation Of the prospector
the prosperity of the mining industry
must primarily depend, says the West
ern Mining World. 1t is a pursuit of
large expectations and small rewards,
and is maintained chiefly by the ac-
tivity of the organ Of hope that con-
stantly enlivens the imagination of the
prospector with visionary bonanzaS of
high degree. In proportion to their
numbers few professional prospectors
ever realize their hopes and attain
wealth, although dozens of paying
properties may have been discovered
by them. To the man who is proud of
his attainments the discovery of a vein
that subsequently, and in other hands,
becomes a paying mine brings a great
demonstrated, even if he realizes small
profit from the investment of time and
effort.
Any law that will tend to discourage
prospecting for minerals by destroying
the vocation of the prospector, will
seriously cripple the mining industry.
The legislation proposed by the Denver
committee will have no other effect. 1t
proposes to load down the proSpector
with financial obligations in order to
hold the claims discovered, that will
drive him out of the field. The mining
industry as such can be encouraged in
no better way than to tighten the bur
dens of it's pioneers. Not only the adj
vance guard discovering new districts,
but the small investors who follow in
their footsteps should receive all the
encouragement that can be afforded by
liberal legislation. To these two classes
every mining district owes a debt of
gratitude, for they make possible the
advent of capital and the development
of great mining enterprises.

ORE IN THE HIGH ORE.
Unexpected Strike in This Promising
Montana Mine.

The owners of the High Ore mine,
four miles from Basin, are greatly
elated over a strike in their tunnel
which was made a few days ago, says
the Helena Independent. The company
is pushing it's tunnel toward big lead
that is 80 feet wide on the surface.
The contract for 800 feet was let to
Helena men last October when the
work was commenced. Since then two
shifts of men have been pushing the
work along as fast as the nature CT
the rock would admit
I'VE have struck 80 inches of solid
galena ore at a point 1900 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel" said Mrs.
Ella Knowles Haskell yesterday at her
office in the Bailey block The strike
was a surprise, for we had no knowl-
edge of the ore body, which to all ap-
pearances is a true assure vein. 1t is
clean galena, every bit of it shipping
ore, and lies between granite walls.
We have drifted in ten feet on the vein
and find it of uniform width. There is
no indication of such vein ON the
surface, but as we struck it at a depth
of 500 feet, we feel certain that it is a
true vein.
THE contractors who are driving the
tunnel have the use of the company

Proper Way to Prepare Food Ele-
ments.
If this should reach the eye of a
reader who has been disappointed in
the taste of Postum Food Coffee, it is
respectfully urged that new trial be
made with the knowledge that the
crisp, delicious flavor can only be OBJ
tanned by allowing it to continue boil
ing full Is minutes after boiling COM
mences; this does not mean Is minutes
after being placed on the stove, please
remember.
True, there are many who mix one
half coffee in their Postum, and such a
preparation will yield pleasant flavor
after five or ten minutes boiling and
will have a proportion of food value
but the strong food elements and choice
flavor can only be obtained from pure
Postum by sufficient boiling.
There is no question among those
who have made the test, that when
common coffee and white bread are re-
placed with Postum Food Coffee and
entire wheat preparations, there is a
steady growth towards a vigorous,
hearty physical and mental health.
Each one can improve the health of
body by the use Of natural food and
the dismissal of unnatural food.
The delicious feeling of health well
repays the attention and the charming
beverage, Postum, is a comfort when
properly made.

Big Ledge of Gold.

a special from Casper. Wyo., says:
Sam Wagner came in from his Aloova
ranch early this week. bringing with
him some ore which is said to be rich
with free milling gold. Several assays
and one mill run have been made of the
ore, which gave an average of $751;. 25
per ton in gold. The ledge Of rock
from which the ore was taken begins
at the foot of Point Rock mountain
and extends about 1900 feet up into
the Pedro mountains The ledge is IS
feet wide for about 10000 feet, and at
the top of the mountain. where there
has been a blowout, the ledge is 200
feet wide. Forty-four claims have
been staked off, and a number of men
have gone from here to stake off claims

GREAT COPPER DEPOSITS.
Excitement Over Discoveries In La
Sale Mountains.

j. NJ. Cunningham, the we'll known
cattleman Of western Colorado, whose
cattle range in the La Sale mountains.
close to the Utah line is in the city
with a shipment of cattle. says the
Denver News. Mr. Cunningham is
greatly interested in the new excite
Inent over the big copper discoveries
in his neighborhood and reports that
there is q regular rush of prospectors
into that section, and that q town has
already been laid out in the Paradox
valley, which is one-of the most beau
tiful valleys in the west, and through
which the big copper vein which has
created the last excitement is supposed
to run.
I'VE have known that copper existed
in that neighborhood for some years, -
said Mr.. Cunningham last night at the
Albany, but while there have been
many discoveries, the veins have never
been found in place. A couple Of east
ern men became interested in the
country and placed a prospector there
some three years ago, and he has been
quietly buying up everything of value
there and prospecting around until this
last find on La Sale creek, which is
near Paradox creek.
THE story of the find is rather inter-
esting and goes to show how near men
may come to fortune and yet miss it. A
Stockman over there named John Criss

There are a number of fine specimens
Of gold ore in the possession of Vernal
people, and all are supposed to have

There IS no doubt but that a mining

the matter Of transportation is solved.

Since that discovery became public

senting some Denver capitalists. has
traced the vein for over five miles. 1t
crosses La Sale creek through the
ridge into Paradox valley and beyond.
The ore is about four feet wide in a
we'll defined vein, and it looks like a
great big thing.
The railroads are already deeply in
terested in the strike, and the people
of that country are doing everything
they can to encourage the building of a
road into the country. There are two
good routes in. The Rio Grande South
ern can get in by building down the
San Miguel river. 1t would reach the
new district with line about 100 miles
long.
RIO GRANDE WESTERNS OPPOR-
TUNITY.
''But the Rio Grande Western has the
best opportunity, and 1 understand is
carefully considering it. That is to build
from Cisco, Utah, south down the
Grand river through the Noah fruit
country to the Dolores, and up the Do
lores to Paradox creek. This would
make a line about 120 miles long, but
it would be a broad gauge and would
open a paying fruit and stock country
all the way. There is really enough
along the line to make it a paying ven
ture now, and if the La Sale mines
prove as good as they now appear, it

There is a great deal of excitement
through our section over the discover
les, and 7 understand the owners are

into a matte for more economical ship
ment. Development work is being
pushed and the proposition seems to

SALE OF MORGAN STOCK.
Tom Kearns' Proposition Regarding
the Rescue.

A most important mining deal was
consummated this week, says the Park
Record. a deal which has to do with
something like a quarter interest in
one Of the promising mines of Park
City. Messrs. Philip and Henry Nor
gan. two of the principal stockholders
of the Morgan Silver Mining company,
have disposed of the great bulk of their
stock to wealthy interested parties in
the corporation for q good round figure,
though the details of the transaction
are unobtainable. Mr.. Philip Morgan
informed a Record reporter, however,
that the amount realized for their hold
ings would place him and his brother
Henry in easy circumstances for the
rest OF their days.
The Morgan company's ground con-
sists Of ten or twelve patented claims,
and is surrounded by the DAILY. Daily
West, Anchor, Alliance. West Ontario
and Kennedy groups, thus being one of
the most eligibly situated blocks of
ground in this district. 1t is equipped
with a first-class hosting plant and is
known to contain plenty of mineral,
though discussions in the company in
the past have held it back from becom-
ing an active producer.
The closing of this deal will, it is un-
derstood, place the property in control
Daily, and an active, aggressive devel
opment OF the ground will undoubtedly
be the outcome, unless some deal is
made whereby it becomes a part of the
DAILY West.
The Morgan group of claims was To-
Gated by Philip Morgan in 1873 and for
is long years the Morgan brothers
have struggled, toiled and skimped to
hold together enough of the ground,
that they have always known to be
valuable, to bring them something near
what they considered it to be worth.
The Morgan brothers, like all poor
prospectors, have grown old in the
service and have had to contend
against great odds to finally emerge
from the struggle with a competence.
| The gentlemen own other properties in
the camp that are in an undeveloped
state, and it is now their purpose to
bend their energies in bringing them to
the front. May success attend their
efforts.
