AMONG THE MINES.
Float Picked Up Around the Crystal District amp
Echoes From the nany Mines.

Charley Hunt is still taking out ore in
his Whitehouse properties, and has been
making shipments recently. Whitehouse
mas been less active the past month, but
some of the better properties have kept
on steadily.
The Crystal Mountain Mine has order
ed new air drill machines and will resume
after the carnival vacation with every
thing in shape for rapid progress. The
formation is indicative OF mineral at no
great distance.
In dong assessment work on the Fin
ley lode on Meadow Mountain this week
splendid looking body OF lead and cop
per ore has been cut into. and it looks
like a new shipper will be added to the
mines of the district in an unexpected
quarter. 1t is the property Of J. M Fin
ley of Sanborn, Iowa, and the 'Melton's,
and is near the Lead King
Monday the larger of the two much
talked of boulders taken from AL Ferris
North Pole mine, in Crystal Basin, was
DrouBuL uOWu W camp. Inc cnunk mas
shown assay Of 79 per cent lead and sew
eral ounces silver. The ore was encoun-
tered driving tunnelin in a blue lime and
trachite contact and the ore chute cut
across tor distance OF twentysix feet,
the vein varying in thickness from four
inches to three and half feet. As to
the quality of the ore, it is very high
grade, for eightysix per cent lead is the
purest galena mined.
Last week contract was awarded by
Burnett. Smith & Tays to Frank Murray
and w. N. Ward to extend tunnel No. 2,
in the Lead King two hundred feet, at
level twentyeight feet below the level Of
the bottom of the shaft, and about fifty
fest below the level where the ore has
been taken out the past two months.
When completed and an upralse is cut
to the shaft this tunnel will add much
to the facilities of this mine, The mine
has closed down until the development
work is completed. Murray & Ward
have already begun work and will push
it to completion as fast as possible.

Apropos Of the controversy between
the county seat papers over the awarding
of the public printing: did anybody ever
hear of county commissioner, or any
other county officer taking less than the
maximum fee or salary allowed by law?
Commissioner Dean has branded himself
a monumental chump by charactetizing
a bid Of twenty-five per cent less than
statutory rates as "hold-up bid for the
tax list" We do not see that the board
of the present has worse record than
some in the past, and indeed if the gos-
sip concerning the conduct of public af-
fairs in this county may be credited, any
Comparison would be odious. Newspa-
pers are the only institutions doing chari-
ty work for the county day after day. and
week after week, and still their publish
ers continue to fight the political battles
of men who hold up their hands in holy
horror at the idea of paying a newspaper
reasonable price for public printing.
Yet these watchdogs ~ OF the public
treasury are frequently men who are no
better informed on the value Of space OF
cost of composition than Chinese laun-
dryman. "Pity It's, 'tis true.

The Dark Angel.

HARRY GORDON HOWARD. Monday
afternoon, October 4th, at fifteen
minutes past five o'clock, the Soul
of Harry Gordon Howard passed
over the divide to the unknown
valley beyond the range of human
life, where the enfranchised spirit
will not know such sufferings as
came to its earthly tenement.
Harry Howard was n man among men,
conscientious, noble and true, whose
life might well be emulated to make the
world better. For the past SIX years
Crystal has been his home, and no dis
paraging word could ever be uttered OF
him in truth. He was industrious, ex-
celled in his work as a miner, and at
various times was employed or worked
on contracts in the best mines Of the
district. Careful and prompt in bust
ness affairs he was successful in personal
affairs and had accumulated something
for the future.
During the past summer he worked
for G. ]. s. Hoover on Sheep Mountain
and while there was taken sick with
Wudt lie tnouSuI W Dc Siiuplc dttdCho vi
billiousness. Confdant of speedy re.
covery he little thought his ailment ser
ious until a week ago and the doctor
summoned found him with fever which
fast developed into typhoid, and the
weak condition of the system rendered
him to weak to resist the disease. All
that loving, sympathizing hearts could
suggest and willing hands do, was done
to relieve and restore him to health, but
all of no avail.
In quiet sleep he breathed the last
as the shadows of evening we're creeping
over the camp and the mantle of night
fell like pail across the mountains and
valleys.
John Howard, brother of the de-
ceased, came in from Denver Friday ev-
ening, and was with him to the moment
of his death. The interment will be in
a Denver cemetery.

Two Robbers.

When Death from some fair face
Is stealing life away,
All weep, save she, the grace
That earth shall lose today.
When Time from some fair face
Steals beauty year by year..
For her slow fading grace
Who sheds, save she, a tear!
And death not often dares
To wake the worlds distress;
While Time, the cunning, mars
Surely all loveliness.
Yet though by breath and Breath
Fades all thy fairest prime,
Men shrink from cruel Death
But honor crafty Time.

Public Printing.
Special rates quoted on application,

Almost every year in counties having
more than one paper the people are sub
jected to a season Of controversy between
publishers and boards of county COM
missioners. These discussions are neith-
er instructive to the reader or beneficial
to the publisher, and too often amount
to little more than political buncombe.
Because some editor through reasons
which he might explain, but no mortal
could understand on any business basis
takes county printing for less than cost
OF the work, his price is ever afterward
held by two-by-four officials as an exam
pie of the actual value of the work.
Newspapers which have the political
preference should take county printing
at legal rates, and newspapers out of the
range Of a possibility Of securing it at
that rate should 'keep of the grass
entirely, in the matter.
In Gunnison county the printing OF
the tax list has been taken this year at
about twenty-five per cent Of legal rates,
which is more than has sometimes been
paid, but every printer in the state knows
the statutory rate is none to high.
Tho Gunnison Champion states that
whatever rate the tax list may be printed
for, the full legal rate is charged against
the property by the county. This is the
strongest argument that could be ad-
vanced in favor Of the maximum price
being demanded and paid. In no other
instance that we recall does a county do
a commission brokerage business.
