THE COPPER FLAT MINES.

Jos. Bray, who is experimenting the
development of the Star and Calumet
group OF copper mines in this district,
IN tho interests OF New York capitalists,
was down from the property last Thurs
day. He informed the NEWS man that
the assessment work has been eomplet-
ed on all OF the claims bonded by his
company, and the sinking Of the shaft
on the Star of the West has been re-
sumed The shaft Is now 10 feet deep
and a whim has been set up for hoist.
ing purposes. The ore coming from
the bottom is an oxide ore, carrying a
little pyrites, and averages better than
20 per cent in copper. Fully. hall OF the
shaft from top to bottom is in this ore.
Tho ledge stands nearly vertical, and
no erosscuts have yet been made to de-
termne its width except on the surface,
where it is not less than 80 #. wide.
The second payment on the Star and
Star of the West claims comes due on
January lst, and Mr.. Bray informs ms
that there is no question but what it,
and the subsequent payments, will be
promptly met Development work will
be continued all winter and next spring
will without doubt see the erection of a
smelling plant begun.

COMMISSIONERS MEETING.

The County Commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting AT the Court
house last Monday, Commissioners Gal
lagher and Heusser being present.
Bills against the county were allowed
as appear in another column.
Mr.. T. b. Tiliord appeared before
the Board with petition signed by
over three ifths OF the heads OF families
of Osceola School District, asking for
the division of that district and the
creation OF new district to be known
as Stalwart District, southwest of Osce-
ola and including the place now known
as Hogum. The policy of the Board is
against the unnecessary division OF
school districts, but on the representa-
tion of Mr. Tilford that he resides 81
miles from the present schoolhouse and
that his children have been unable to
attend school in the wintertime on ac-
count of the deep snow, the petition was
granted.
Mr.. X. {. Davis appeared before the
Board and called the attention OF the
Commissioners to the condition of the
road across the Steptoe slough between
Duck Creek and Cherry Creek, which
Is much travelled at present and is rap
idly becoming impossible for loaded
teams. An offer made by Jack stinson
to gravel the road and place 1t In first
class repair for Sl00 was accepted by
the Board, on condition that he wait
for his pay until the money is regularly
apportioned into the fund.
1t was ordered that the Sheriff of this
county see that all prisoners sentenced
to term OF Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail by the Judge of the District
Court or by any Justice of the Peace,
be kept at labor on the public works al
least six hours a day for six days in the
week, when the weather permits; and
In case any prisoner refuses to work, II
shall be the duty of the Sheriff TO in
hct the statutory punishment. Thi'
order is required by the statute before
prisoners can be legally compelled t'
work.
A transfer of S2325 was made from
the General to the Salary Fund, also o
slS5 from Road Fund Nos l, :, and
to Road Fund No. ;.

A STRANGE PLACER NINE.

I. B. Tilford, one of the veteran plao-
er miners of Osceoia district, paid the
NEWS a pleasant call last Monday. He
informs us that the yield Of the plaeers
this year has been very small on account
of the scarcity of water, but last year
seven men washed out over Sl5, 0O0, and
will repeat the performance next sum
mer If water is plenty.
His own mines are located at Hogum,
about 3 miles south of Osceola, and
Judging by his description, are about
the oldest placer mines to be found in
the country. The bedrock is of lime,
full OF cracks and erevlces, into which
the pay gravel has slfted and deposited
wherever the irregularities afforded a
lodging place. Some of this gravel ID
very rich, yielding from 10 cents to "a
cents to the shovel. The creyioes are
of all shapes and sizes. One OF them,
which Mr.. Tilford has explored to
depth of 80 feet, yielded about 800 show
els of rich gravel, but great deal more
escaped through hole in the bottom
and went on down to unknown depthi
below, II the true bottom of thes'
crevees can be found, some rich grave
pockets will surely be uncovered. The
work of exploration Is attended with
considerable danger owing to TIN
broken character of the ground, whici
at some time has been subjected to
mighty upheaval. Mr.. Tilford ha

Mining Dispute Settled.

The possibilities OF lawsuit between
the Rocco Homestake Mining Co., own
ers of the Homestake mine near Ham,
Ilton, and the owners OF the Last Chance,
has boon entirely dispelled by Messrs.
Roberts, Simons & Cupid, OF the latter
property, having sold to the former
company the ground over which there
was chance for dispute. This settles
the matter between the Homestake and
Last Chance people, but We understand
that there is still trouble brewing In
the canyon between the Last Chance
and the Comanohe owners, both claim
ing more or loss OF the same ground
