AMONG THE MINES.
Float Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes From the Hanv Mines.

In the Inez Henry Rositti has taken a
contract, and is driving drift to the
left from the main tunnel. on a contact,
where there is likely to be found good
ore chute. Work is also being done in
the drift from the upraise, following the
ore streak.
There is deal on foot looking to the
fitting up of the Scofield concentrating
again this year. This will no doubt be
great convenience to the prospectors in
that section, and should he profitable to
the men running the mill.
At the Crystal Mountain Mine each
days work shows new indications OF the
existence of mineral in large amount
near at hand. Wednesdays blast opened
small cavern directly in the line of the
tunnel, some six feet in diameter, and
yesterday a noticeable change in the for
nation would seem to indicate the foot
wall has been reached. The formation
cut yesterday is pronounced the best,
to all appearances, that has been taken
out, and caused some of the California
directors to remain over and learn what
todays shots disclose.

tivi Of Crystal will be the incorporators
Of the The Tyrol and Venice Gold Min
ing Company, which will file articles of
incorporation with the Secretary of State
within few days. The company owns
three and one-half full claims, formerly
the Hungarian, Hungarian No. 2, Gold
King and Roma. In the tunnel the ore
streak has widered from one to six inches
in distance of twenty-five feet.
Saturday the writer visited Snow Mass
to see some of the properties up there.
At the Lead King we found work being
done on development and prospecting,
mostly, though some ore is also being
taken out At the Finley we observed
good beginning for the seasons work.
The shaft has been newly timbered and
the work of sinking on the ore is being
carried forward. Some splendid copper
and lead carbonates has been disclosed,
the vein widening as depth is gained. At
the Tyrol Venice we found the new
nfxffsu htrfU foot
and a splendid piece of timbering has
been done.
n. w. Ward has interested eastern
capital in the Burke lode on Mineral
Point, and this prospect will become
mine in short time, unless all indica-
tions are misleading. On this property
the vein outcrops for distance OF 2oO
feet, and shows a width Of from six to
fifteen feet, with streak Of lead carbon
ate and copper ore and is the mother
assure of that rich mountain. The ore
carries good silver values, as do all the
copper and lead ores of this camp. The
development work already done consists
of a tunnel over one hundred feet in
length which shows ore all the way, and
the new work will be done at a lower
point to cut the ore at greater depth.
The Burke is on the same vein as the
Daisy Is located on. where very rich ore
has been opened up In the past few
months. A force of men will be put on
at once and work pushed rapidly IN de-
ve;oi,ing another shipping mine.

ly the most destructive stream on the
face Of the earth. In less than hundred
years it has changed its channel four
times, and the point where it empties

up and down the coast distance of 800
miles. 1t runs through a vast alluvial
plain, and is fed by streams from great
system of mountains in the north. When
the snow melting on THE range comes at

to be terrible flood. 1t has been esti-

SPANISH BOARDS FINDINGS.
Copy of the Document Has Been Ca
bled to Washington.

Washington. March ga full synopsis
Of the report OF the Spanish naVal com
mission which investigated the destruction
of the battleship Maine is here given by
the Associated Press. 1t is taken from q
COPY of the original report when Is now
on it's way here from havana, the syhop-
sis befIR. cablcd in the meantime and today
n,aced in the hands of this government.
The conclusions reached are directly OPP
posite to those in the report on the disaster
submitted to congress today. Inc S%hop-
sis is a S follows:
The report contains declarations maze
by ocular witnesses and experts. FROM
these statements, it clearly deduceS anu
proves the absence of al those attendant
circumstances which are invariably pres
emf on occasions of the explosion OF u lot
pedO.
The evidence Ct witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine at the moment IS to the
effect that only one explosion occurred,
that no column of water was thrown INTO
the air; that no shock to the side OF the
nearest vessel felt nor on land was any
vibration noticed, and that no dead fish
were found.
The evidence of the senior pilot of the
harbor states that there is abundance of
fish in the harbor, and this is corroboratcd
by other witnesses. The assistant engineer
OF works states that after the explosion
made during the execution of the works
in the harDor he has always found dead
fish.
The divers We're unable to examine the
bottom of the Maine. which was buried IN
the mud, but a careful examination OF
the sides of the vessel rents and breaks all
point outward. which shows without d
doubt that the explosion was from tAe
inside.
A minute examination OF the bottom of
the harbOr around the vessel shows ahso-
lutcly no sign of action OF Il torpedo and
the fiscal Judge advocate of the com
mission found no precedent Zoe the eNplo-
sion of the storage magazines OF a vessel
by torpedo.
The report makes clear that owing to
the special nature of the proceedings fol-
lowing and the absolute respect shown
fer the cXtra-territorial status Of the Maine
the commission is prevented making such
an examination of the vessel as would de
termnc even the hypothesis of the internal
origin of the accident, This is to be at
tributed to the rcgrettable refusal to per
nit OF the necessary cooperation Of the
Spanish commission both with the COM
man,ler and crew Of the Maine and different
American officials commissioned 70 invesu-
gate the cause of the accident and later
on with those employed in salvage work.
The report finishes by stating that an
examination of the inside and outside of
the Maine as soon as such eXaminati ton
may be possible and also Of the bottom,
where the vessel rests, will prove that,
suppCSing the remains of the wreck
are not totally altered in the process
of extraction, the explosion was undoubt-
puIV due some other cause.
