OUTLOOK FOR DE LAMAR.
Wonderful Possibilities In Store For
This Great Camp.
Oode, De Lemar, Nev.)


For some unaccountable cause, the
the public, or that portion of it who are
interested in mines, that with the ex-
haustiOn of the ore bodies in the De
Lamar mines, that the resources of
Ferguson district are, to a certain eX-
tent, ended.
Whether the possible exhaustion is a
thing of the near or the remote future,
it certainly cuts no figure as to the eX-
tent of the mines in the district.
There is no mining district today in
existence of which 50 little is known,
and no one has ever explored it to any
extent outside of the present workings,
so as to form any opinion based on
actual facts on its resources, either
visible or probable.
To understand this problem one must
look at both, geographically and geo
logically, and until this is done ac-
curately and scientifically we will be as
we are now, entirely in the dark.
One of the principal reasons for this
is that invariably the pay ore lies so
deep that it is beyond the means of
the average prospector to strike, as it
necessitates time, patience, labor and
capital to develop anything. Another
reason is that it is nearly inaccessible,
owing to the long distance from the
railroad and the peculiarly inconvenient
way of reaching it.
on arriving at Milford, the railroad
terminus, the traveller is confronted
with. at this time of the year especial
~. the awful prospect of two long cold
night drives over rough roads and in
inconvenient comfortless vehicles,
which. to do justice to the parties who
are engaged in the transportation of
passengers and mail are as fairly COM
modious as they can afford for the
price they get and the amount of bust
ness they perform.
Situated also as we are in a desert
where everything has to be brought by
a long and expensive railroad and wa
gon haul, none but those who are gifted
with a long purse and a good stock OF
patience can ever succeed in getting
the necessary machinery and supplies
! indispensable to the working of mines
and reduction of ores.
The near advent of the railroad, how
ever, to a point at a reasonable dis
| lance, Will eliminate one of the chief
causes of our forced inactivity as tC
new prospects, and then, when capital
lists can reach us without danger to life
| and health, laying aside the many dis
comforts of the trip, a new era will
dawn for the camp and she will proud
| " hold her own among the wealth
producers of the west.
In our next issue we will try and give
such a description of the geographical
easily understood why we have faith il
| our resources, even if they are as yet
! undeveloped, and will show clearly why
| the camp is at a standstill, notwith-
/ standing the great possibilities Which
await it in the future.

NY MEEKs' GREAT FEAT.
How He Killed the Great Bear of
Blue Mountain.
(Vernal Express.l

" erndl ExpreSS.)
Hy MeekS was in town the first time
for about four months, and brought in
the first information we have had OF,
the killing of the great bear of Blue
mountain. Although it has been some
time since the killing occurred, it may
be news to a great many. The bear
was a large cinnamon, which has been
Fostering the Blue mountain range for
many years, killing a number of colts
and COWS each fall. The animal met
death from gun in the hands of Hy
Meeks, who ran upon him in the open
country. Taking his Winchester and
running along side of the bear on
horseback in regular Buffalo Bill style,
he discharged twelve shots at Mr..
Bruin, and what is more remarkable
even than the killing, or of the auda-
cious manner of the charge, was the
telling effect of the craftsmanship,
seven of the twelve shots entering the
animals body. In a. crippled condition
the bear backed into some brush and
awaited further attack from his pur-
suer, who brought his horse to a stand
still and deliberately fired the last
fatal shot
The cattlemen feel greatly relieved to
be rid of this monster, and feel to con-
graduate Meeks as the great Nimrod
of the Blue mountains.

ENGAGE In Mining.
Denver News

Senator Mark Hanna, President Nc
Kinley and two members of the cabi-
net, as we'll as other men equally prom
inent, are interested in the investiga-
ton Of the vast deposit Of low-grade
ore at Woodland Park on the Colorado
Midland. IF the assays are satisfactory
$4,000 viii be paid in on Jan. 10 to be-
gin operations Oh the refinery and re-
duction plant, which at first will handle
800 tons Of ore a day.
J. Stanley Brown. the expert of the
party, is an officer in the International
Geological society which meets in New
York next Tuesday. Delegates will be
present from all over the world Mr.
Brown viii deliver an address on the
mineral formation Of Colorado and the
vast deposits Of metaliferous rock at
Woodland Park.
The exclusive announcement in the
News that a party of eastern magnates
had decided to WOO fortune in the sand
rock Of Woodland Park opened such
mighty vista of mining possibilities
that experienced mining operator were
staggered at the thought
1t was acknowledged that the plan
WAS perfect, but was it probable that
Colorado investors in mines had over
looked the great opportunity?
BE the answer what it may. the
statements Of the News were founded
upon cold facts. Conversation with
gentlemen Of the party yesterday con-
firmed all that had appeared and
showed that the story was absolutely
true.
John Annisneld, a leading manufac-
tureF and capitalist OF Cleveland, ac-
knCwledged that great developments in
Woodland Park are in contemplation
Mr.. Annisfield talked frankly. I'VE
hoped that nothing would be said in
the newspapers until all our plans were
completed" said he, but the cat is out
Of the bag and the article in the News
was true. ] have been making trips
into woodland Park for three years.
In that time 1 have had hundreds Of
holes dug and have had hundreds Of
assays made upon the deposit. Assays
run from 81 to 5000 and $500 a ton. The
deepest hole is 800 feet in the rock. 1
am sorry We were unable to get to the
bottom Of the deposit, for expect high
values there, but don't you think 300
feet of gold-bearing rock is pretty good
showiug2"
The reporter acknowledged that the
assumption sounded about right.

taking with Us to Washington samples

The E. & E. Mine.

Democrat, Baker City, Ore: 1T is
understood that the management of
the e. e e. mines is satisfactorily
adjusting it's recent financial COM
plications. There has been no ces-
sation of operations at the mines, and
from reliable sources it is learned that
fine ore bodies have been exposed,
which inspires confidence in the great
merit of the mines"
The complications alluded to origi-
mated in the project of Colonel Isaac
Trumbo, the owner of this great gold
producing NINE to lay a pipe line over
ground a portion of when was owned
by rival company, for the purpose of
installing water power at the mine to
displace steam. Everything has been
settled to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and the machinery equipment
of the E. & e. will hereafter be kept in
motion through the agency of water
power. The result is another indication
OF Trumbo's ability in big mining pro-
jects and means a big increase in the
earning capacity of his wonderful Ore
gon mine.

to receive the boys. When the train
slowed up and the caps and blue uni
forms Of Sewers volunteers appeared
in view an enthusiastic and prolonged
cheer rose from the assembled crowd,
while relatives and near friends en-
braced their loved ones. The scene was

appearance and convenience, and the
outside from dome to foundation has
also received an attractive touch of the

day one of social enjoyment by enter

Our reporter visited the Cuba lower

feet, where a promising streak of ore.
which viii probably prove a spur to the
main vein, was encountered a few days
ago. 4 drift has been started south at
nearly right angles with the tunnel,
and run about ten feet, where the
streak suddenly dips into the hill and is
only showing at drift bottom-about a
foot Of solid ore, evidently of good quail
ity, and running well in copper, being
exposed 1t was the intention to follow
this spur, but as water will interfere
with sinking, further work in that di-
rection will doubtless be abandoned for
the present. Manager Duncan Nc
