AT CHICAGO HOTELS.

Chicago. March 17.-C. J. Stoddart, leading steel manufacturer of York shire, England, is stopping at the Au- ditorium on a tour of inspe tion of the leading steel plants of this coun- try. He says that the sympathies of the mass of people in Great Britain are with the United States in the contro- versy with Spain. "The sole tie we Englishmen have to Spain," he said
 lis the fact that the country is a neighboring European power But that tie is by no means as strong as the tie of blood relationship and of common language and customs that we have with Americans"
 MT. Stoddart thinks that an a1li- ance of some kind between England and this country would be beneficial to both. He thinks it would be great iy to the advantage of American trad CTS if the United States combined with England in opening Chinese ports
 The policy of France, Germany and
 Russia, he says, is to keep a port closed against other nations as soon as they get control of it and reserve the trading privileges to traders Of their own nationality exclusively The
 policy of England, on the other hand is for open ports, free to all nations their only desire being 70 gain an out let for their own manufactures.
 Arthur Monteith of the Muskoka lake region, in Canada, was at the Sherman yesterday. He says that al though it is unknown to most Ameri- cans, the quickest way to ship graiT to the Canadian cities is by way of the lake steamers connecting with the railroad running between Parry sound

 James bay inlet, on Hudson's bay When this is completed one of the
 richest numbering and farming coun- tries in the world will be open to civi- liZation. Hitherto the trip to Hud- sons bay has been arduous in the eX- treme, but in the near future that re- zion may be expected to be thronged with travellers and immigrants.

STRIKE AT THE VULTURE.
Rich Ore Found in a New Shaft Sunk
 Near the Old Workings.

Ten stamps of the old eighty ed up yesterday to work on ore from a new strike on the Vulture property. Captain w. c. Davis, who is now at the mine in charge of the work there, some time ago started a crew of men at work sinking shaft northwest of the old workings where the vein showed increasing values as depth was attained on it. There was percep- tible widening of the vein from the start until it has assumed widths vary ing from twenty to thirty inches, with increased values at every foot of depth. A great deal of ore was taken out during the progress of sinking which has been hauled to the mill. This new prospect will be worked with vigor until it is thoroughly de- veloped. MT. G. R. Williscraft pf Phoenix returned from the Vulture yesterday with some samples of the ore found in the new shaft. The ore resembles the old time Vulture ore with the same generous sprinkling of free gold. MT. Williscraft thinks the strike is a very important one for the Vulture people inasmuch as it is on a continuation of the rich lead which gave the Vulture mine to the world
 MT. Williscraft also visited the Gar cia property on his way to Phoenix from the Vulture. It is located about twelve miles from Vulture in the same mineral belt. Although the Garcia is young property it has with it's small development produced a great deal of very rich ore, much of which is on the dump at the mine waiting for the ten stamp mill to be set up which has been received there. D. M. Brown is a ca pablo superintendent, and he is de- veloping the Garcia into a good mine. The ore encountered is of the same character as the Vulture ore, the gold being free, and many fine specimens are frequently found. The ore body is continuous as far as development work has progressed in the mine and there is every indication that it will become a good producer as soon as the mill is started. A steam hoist has been put Up at the mine, and a number of men areat workthere

evidence of the dishonesty of western miners.
 ''I know how these things are done, and I know that in nine cases out Of ten the people of the west have DO knowledge of the transaction until some one who has been caught squeals through the newspapers. Some pro moter, say iii New York, employs a prospector to locate him one or more claims near some we'll known mine. When the prospector is paid his con- nection with the matter ceased, and he may never hear of it again. Being in mineraliZed territory, it is easy enough to find ore enough to serve as the basis for the application for patent. The patent secured, a pros pectus is issued, in which the property is described as contiguous to the cele- brated Jack Rabbit mine.
 Then the promoter addresses him self to the task of securing subscrib- CTS of influence. Clergymen, master mechanics and chief engineers of the mechanical departments of railroads, and foremen of factories-men with responsible positions and limited in comes-are favOrite game for these promoters. These secured, the rest is easy, and in a short time the worth less ground is unloaded upon the sub scribers, who have seen the last of their money. This field has been so thoroughly worked. however, that it is no longer profitable, and the people have been educated through their losses to proper understanding of the fact that they can easily ascertain the true character of any mining enter prise presented to them
 There is a growing interest in min ing all over the country, and I think that if Colorado, with her wonderful mineral resources, would take meas ures to let the people understand some thing about the successes of mining in this state that are never heard of out side of the state because the mine own CTS of Colorado are as a rule indiffer- ent to the offer of outside capital, a great deal of money could be secured for the development of your mines There has never been a time when the proper effort in this direction would have been productive of so much good as there would be just now"

Sheriff Potts received a letter from James Rosborough yeterday from his conner mines at Bill Williams Fork. It contains the information that the cross cut from the 100 foot shaft is in a high per cent of copper ore and Jim feels mighty good over it. The vein is about forty feet wide, and it prom ises to be a big mine.-Mineral Wealth.
 J. R. Slack is in from Groom creek where he is working the Alma and two sister claims belonging to J. l. Gardner. under bond and lease. The claims are located one-fourth of a mile above the Monte Cristo. The Alma is developed by three shafts, one sixty feet and the other two th1r- ty-six and forty-five feet deep, and a tunnel 200 feet in length. A fifty foot cross cut has been run and shaft is being sunk. The ore carries $50 per ton gold and 20 per cent lead. MT. Slack says there is plenty of this class of ore.-Courier.

If their operations prove successful there will be numer- ous companies formed to extract the gold from those gravel deposits which extend nearly 100 miles along the river above Bonnell's ferry. Prospectors would do well to inspect this section of country and make locations, as the gold is there and these big companies may find a way of getting it.
