The Christmas Atmosphere.

Getting ready for Christmas makes
these weeks in December full of pleas
ant labors and anticipations. The ma.
jority of people are not millionaires.
They do not have full purses with
which they can go to the shops and
buy their Christmas presents without
regard to cost. They have a little
money, and it requires a good deal OF
planning, Of invention and loving
thought, to make it go around. Often.
times the money is only enough to
buy the raw materials from which
patient and skillful fingers will fash.

many a home we should see the chill.

Mining Operations.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Basin, March 16-The people of Ba-
sin are just now feeling well pleased
with the present board of county COM
missioners. At the meeting of the
board in Boulder last week favorable
action was taken in the matter of the
Basin creek road. For years the peo-
pie here have been asking for this
needed improvement, but the former
boards have completely ignored the
wishes of the people of this end of the
county to such an extent that much
strong feeling was engendered. The
present board, however, is composed of
good sound business men of keen fore
sight, and all parts of the county are
receiving just recognition in the ex-
penditure' of the road fund. which is
sure to have. beneficial effect in the
development of the county. In the mat
of the Basin creek road the board APP
pointed Isaac Griffith as a viewer, the
county surveyor will appoint a second
and these two will appoint third
viewer. after which they, in connection
with the surveyor, will view the road
and report to a special meeting of the
board of commissioners. The special
meeting will be held in order that the
matter may be pushed through as soon
as possible, and the road completed in
time to be of service during the pres
ent season of mining operations in the
Basin creek district.
The board of county commissioners,
at their meeting last week, also took
steps toward opening up another street
in Basin, running between Basin street
on the north and Spruce street on the
south. This street is not only neces-
sary as highway. but is needed as a
means of fire protection, as it runs di-
rectly through the principal block in
the town. This block is a very long
one, densely built up with wooden
buildings, and would be a veritable fire
trap were this street not opened so
that the firemen could get in to fight
the fire.
The Basin and Bay State Mining
company has been granted a franchise
for putting in an electric lighting sys-
tenn, and within a few weeks time the
people of Basin will have the advan-
tage of electric lights This plant will
be run in connection with the machine
shops of the new Katie works. They
intend to light the new works by
electricity, and have concluded to put
in a plant large enough to supply the
town as WELL

Capitalists and Prospectors Far Apart ms
to Values.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Garnet, March f6-The outlook for a
prosperous season in this district has
somewhat improved within the last
few weeks. This improvement is due,
in a large measure. to several new dis
coveries of ore bodies. and while the
strikes are not of q startling nature,
they are of notablesimportance how
ever. in establishing more firmly the
stable and permanent character OF the
ore deposits.
1t is also very probable that the
coming season Will witness enlarge
ment of the ore zone, both to the north
and to the south. and doubtless good
paying mines will be found on ground
that at present is regarded as barren
and worthless.
The vast UNEMPLOYED eruptive region
laying northwest of Garnet is prom
Using field for ore deposits, while the
large area of sedementary rocks that
cap the granite TO the south and east
gives assuring surface evidence of con-
tanning valuable ore bodies. One
salient feature of this district is the
hundreds OF small. rich seams of ore
scattered throughout the mineral belt
that can be worked to n profit only by
the leasing system, insuring. in days
to come. a steady income for large
population.
Judging the future from the past, it
is doubtful whether single mining
deal of any prominence will be made
the coming season, not because the
prospects haven't merits, however, but
chiefly from the fact that between the
cautious and experienced capitalist and
mining mans idea of the actual value
of prospect. and the too frequent
dreaming prospectors notion of lis
value. there is a vast discrepancy a
discrepancy that usually disappears in
proportion as the light of modern min
ing methods breaks in upon the pros
pect owner and the fact that it is get
