THIRTY DAYS OF PUMPING.
LeadviIle Mines To BE Reopened and Strik
ers Permitted to Return.

ers Permitted to Return.
Leadville Col, May 17.-An agree
ment having been reached among the
owners of the principal mines in the
down-tow district to resume pumping,
which was stopped last winter while
the strike was on, the work of unwater-
ing will be begun next week. The ar
rangements for pumping, which will
go into effect at once, will result in the
employment of from 1000 to 1,500 men
with a strong probability that the num-
ber will reach 1000 within the next six
months. 1t is estimated by some of the
mine owners that it will require thirty
days Of pumping before any men can
be put to work.
1t is thought that by Aug. 10 the up
per levels of the working mines will be
sufficiently dry TO permit the introduce
tion OF men, and from that time on men
will he continually added to the working
force until all the properties are In full
operation Ii is thought that many of
the properties have been seriously dam
aged. though 1t is believed that many
repairs will be necessary on account OF
the swelling and crushing of the timbers
occasioned by the extra weight of the
water. There is general feeling among
the mine owners that the definite settle
ment Of the pumping question, now prac-
tically accomplished, is the first step to-
ward developing a territory which is
believed to be one of the richest in the
Leadville district More than 5000 acres
are included within the boundaries.
