STAMP MILLs-sAMPLING woRKs-coN
CENTR ATORS.

The Hidden Treasure 85-stamp mill
during the year 1898 crushed 4,l9SA
cords of custom stamp mill ore, which
Yielded 9,6l5.65 ounces of gold. The
number OF tailings produced was 5,130
tons. The mill had the best year of any
since its erection number of years ago.
The Rocky Noun tain concentration in
Black Hawk in 1898 treated 16,GS7 tons
of crude ore which yielded 1850 tons OF
concentrates. The works had the best
business in 1898 since their erection, and
the prospects are bright for 1899. Mr.
John Hanrngan is in charge of the me-
chanical department. Mr.. A. L. Collins
being the general manager.
The sampling works of w. J. Cham
berlain e. Co., of which Mr.. Ralph Chase
is the manager, and the State Ore
Sampling works report n very good bust
ness during 1898. The latter works are
looked after by Mr.. Nelson Franklin.
Both are agreeable men to do business
with.
Alsdorf & Co. conceived the idea OF
partially recovering the values that pass
down Clear creek in the murky. Shiny
water from the stamp mills above. With
that view in end, Mt n considerable out
lay of money, they renovated and rear
ranged the building q ope time operated
by Prof. Card, below the Penn STAMP
mill on thescreek, and by means OF tables
covered with canvas, Gilpin count,
humping tables and Frue Vanner
they have saved quite an amount OF the
finer apd lighter particles of mineral IL
, the ..slimes that would have otherwise
, passed down that stream to the foot
hills. Not long since they overhaulet
their works, and Mt present writing the!

The work in 1898 has been in develop
ment. The mill ore runs from to IA
ounces per cord. Some years ago guam
tity OF selected ore gave at the rate OF $5
per round.
F. Fliesleben & Co. are driving an adit
on their vein now in It's feet. They
have struck a small streak of fine ore
carrying considerable value in gold, but
have not yet got the vein matter in what
miners term solid ground.
The Jennie group, owned by Hol-
land & Company, is to be opened up by
cross cut tunnel now in 100 feet. The
principal vein is the Jennie, which has
two shafts down respectively 20 and 40
feet. The vein matter is feet wide, as
saying from $40 to $50 per ton.
The Surprise mine, which, like the
Mann has produced very rich stamp mill
ore, has two levels at the depths of 7C
and 40 feet, in each Of which shows a
fair streak of ore. The Surprise has not
yet reached the depth it should be. The
value in the ore is gold. 1t is worked by
Alfred Wettstein.
The North Star lode in the head OF
Grizzly gulch, forms the easterly exten-
sion of the Mann lode. The adit on the
vein is in $50 feet. The vein matter, al
though small, prospects well by panning
in gold.
At the Mann lode, j. H. Bound has a
shaft down 100 feet, from which point he
is extending level, quite an amount of
pay being found on the foot and hang
ing walls. They use whim for hoisting.
In extending the level they will catch an
ore chute under No. l and the Discovery
shafts.
Charles Pfeiffer and Charles johnson
have a tunnel IN on their property
on Shingle Mill hill, 130 feet. This
is being driven still farther.
Gardiner & Son have promising pros.
pect in Grizzly gulch, and at depth Of
55 feet have mill ore prospecting we'll
enough for 10 ozs. gold per cord.
Came g. Co. of Denver, who own the
Charcoal Charley vein in Freeman and
Bloomfield gulches, have erected shaft
house 20x40 and are awaiting the arrival
Of an improved hoisting engine and boil
er. That in place the shaft will be sunk
and the vein opened up by system of
levelage. The working shaft is $50 feet
deep and has produced smelling ore
that has netted 500 per ton.
The most important as we'll us the best
strike in that belt of veins Is that made
on the Schultz Wonder mine, owned by
William Schultz. He has main drift or
adit on the vein 800 feet, with pay matter
two feet in width, and telluride streak
giving $1,000 to $4,000 per ton by assay
The balance of the pay matter assays
from $40 to $50 per ton. This property
if worked as it should be would prove a
bonanza to its owner.

CARELESS CHURCH PEOPLE.
Police Much Worried at Finding
Open Doors of Places Of Worship.

There seems to be general tendency
among church people to leave the doors
of their edifices open, much to the annoy
ance of the police who have time and
time again feared that robberies had been
committed through carelessness. Not long
ago the West Side Avenue Methodist
Church was the cause of several scares TO
the police who did duty in that neigh
borhood Several times the doors were
found open but nothing missing. The po-
lice at last thought that it was the work
of a Joker as the church people explained
that.an the doors and windows were al
ways secured
About half-past four o'clock this morn
ing. Patrolman McDevitt Of the Communi-
paw avenue station found the side door
of the First Congregational Church at
Bergen and Boyd avenues, open. The
pastor, Mr.. Scudder, was notified. and al
ter an investigation came to the conclu-
sion that nothing was missing 1t is
thought the door was left open by acci-
dent. The doors of several houses and
stores on the West side have been found
open recently. but nothing was ever re-
ported missing.

HOBOgEA POLICE ACCUSED
Accused Man Says Pawn
broker Was Admitted to
a Cell on Sunday.

Three men, who were acting suspicious
ly on Hudson street, Hoboken. Saturday
afternoon, were arrested by Detective
Weinthal. At Hoboken Police Headquar-
ters they were resistered as Emil Cold
berg, John Fisher and KID Davis. Fish
er ana Davis had several pawn tockets in
their possession. and admitted that they
are professional crooks. They said that
they had been indicted for picking peck
cts, and Davis said that he had been in
plicated in a recent big diamond robbery
in New York.
Goldberg. however, protested his m1o-
cence, and created a big sensation in Re-
corder Stanton's court when he declared
that David Mayer, the only pawnbroker in
Hoboken, had been invited into the cell
corridor on Sunday to loan money on
GoIdberg's overcoat for the purpose of
getting lawyer. The Recorder was in
dlgnant, and said that the charge against
the police department would be fully ia-
vestigated. He said that it was shame
that Hoboken Police Headquarters should
be transformed into a ''hock shop" for
favored lawyers.
Chief Donovan was called In and mad q
long conference with the Recorder, and Il
is probable that the matter VIII be

WANT TO SAVE 100000
Tinaneiers Will Not Con-
cur in the New Water
Contract Today.

The Finance Board is to meet this after
noon. The water contract will not be
concurred in at today's session. One rea-
son is that President Heppenheimer will
not be present He is suffering from an
attack of grip. Another reason for the
postponement of action is that Commis-
sioners Ringle and Midlige want the
Flynn Company to make some coaces-
sions.
One is that the addition Of 100000 to the
cost price of the plant if it is not acquired
within year after completion be fore
gone. Mr.. Ringle contends that $7,59o goo
is enough to pay for a 50,00000o gallon
plant He insists that the Flynn people
should give the. city at least five years
trial of the works before lacking $500, geo
on the cost price.
w D. Edwards, counsel for Flynn, has
said that to change any of the agreements
Eat this time would probably vitiate the
whole contract.
Messrs. Ringle and Midlige are unwilling
to let 100000 get away from the city il
they can help it. They will make a hard
fight to have the 100000 clause removed
before voting to concur in the award to
Flynn
Another question which mas NOT peeH
satisfactorily settled as yet IS VINO
shall pay the fees for searching the strip
of land which is to be acquired for a
right of way. OF course. Contractor
Flynn will make one search. but it is ar
gued that the city, as precautionary
measure. win have to make an indepen-
dent search
Commissioners Ringle and Midlige de-
mand that Flynn pay for the city
will be acceded to.
The Finance Board will meet later IN
the week to consider the award to FLYNN.
