There is said to be room for more
miners in Clear Creek county.
Arrangements are now pending for
the erection of 200 ton Matte smelter
at Canon City by company repre-
sented by Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio
and other parties. The plant is intend
ed to reduce the Cripple Creek ores
from twenty to twenty-five tons to one,
and sell the matte to the refineries.
Negotiations for the land necessary for
the site are now in progress, the plans
for the smelter are all prepared, and it
Is probable that work on the smelter
will commence as soon as the financial
arrangements are completed.
A new discovery of ore made on Left
Hand creek, Boulder county, has Great
cd good deal of surprise among old
miners familiar with the ores of that
district. All Of the mines In that vicin-
ity have been considered as exclusively
collaborating, and the ores are general
ly telluride in character. In the claim
from which this ore was taken, how
ever, at depth Of sixty-two feet, a
vein of clear white quartz was uncov-
cred which carries gray copper and ga
lena, running 173 ounces in silver and
S11 in gold. The solid formation has
not been reached yet. and 1t is thought
the property will gain in value with
depth.

M'kINLEY KEEPS BUSY.
His First Day In Once Crowded With Work
-Throngs of Visitors.

-ThrOngs of Visitors.
Washington, March 5.-President Nc
| KiDley was on the move at an early
hour this morning. He greeted the
White House officials at 7:3O o'clock
and breakfasted at eight with the fam
lily party, including his wife, mother
and other relatives. Then he smoked Il
cigar, and at nine O'Clock entered the
presidents private office to begin cop
ing with the food of public business
Already crowds of people had begun
to arrive, clamoring at the main en-
trance to the executive mansion for ad-
mission. The doors were kept closed
against the general crowd until ten
o'clock, but in the meantime n number
of callers having special business
gained admission.
AT ten O'Clock the members of the re
firing Cabinet called and exchanged
courtesies.
Meantime the crowds in front of the
executive mansion had swelled to thou.
sands. They surged up to the portico,
surrounding the doors in solid masses
and extending in both directions down
the long semi-circular driveways to the
outer gates. They came with bands
playing, and flags flying. One of the
first organizations to call was that
made up of the veterans who served
with Major Mckinley in the Twenty
third Ohio Volunteer infantry. The
president wished to greet his old COM
rades personally, and they filed into
the east room. Mr.. Mckinley came
from his private apartments looking
sturdy and vigorous, despite the strain
of yesterday. He cordially greeted
each of the group along the way, Civ
ing a hearty handshake to each per-
son, and stood at the main door of the
east room while the old soldiers filed
by. 1t was meeting of old friends
rather than an official greeting, and
the president called most of the veter-
ans by name,
The crowds outside had now grown
clamorous, and with the confused mu
sic of several bands were mingled the
continued shouts from hundreds of
throats. 1t was apparent that the
throng never could get within the
White House. Realizing this situation
the President called for his hat and
overcoat and stepped through the front
doors to the marble portico.
A great shout went up as he made
his appearance. Hats were thrown in
to the air and handkerchiefs and UNI
brellas We're waved frantically. the la
dies joining in the demonstration. Nc.
kinley bowed repeatedly as the cheers
continued. Then the clubs swung into
line and. with bands playing, marched
under and through the arch of the
portico, each man uncovering as he
passed.
The White House was crowded and
besieged with callers all day, but few
were able to gain access to the Presi-
dent.
