Comparatively speaking, but little is
being accomplished in tho Twelve Mile
section. During the year fhs group OF
veins owned by DR.. L. P. Davies were
sold to eastern parties. AS yet they
have not formulated their plans for the
future SO as to get them in tangible form
for commencing operations.
In the exit eme northwestern portion
OF the county, on tho mountain dividing
the Middle Boulder and Jenny gulch,
the owners of lode claims could not get
in vt that point until late in the season
owing 10 deep snow. Although labor
ing under this disadvantage, sufficient
work was accomplished so as to not
vitiate title 10 their holdings
In South Moon and Main Moon gulches
the Swiss Gold Mining company and
Washington johnson has accomplished
a good deal of development work on his

MILL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Rocky Mountain Concentrating
works in Black Hawk during 1899 added
to its plant new 25-stamp mill of the
slow drop pattern, which now gives the
works better facilities with which to
compete with similar works located at
Idaho springs.
There is now in course of erection at
Black Hawk for the Boston & Colorado
Mining and Milling company an 80 heavy
weight stamp mill, the stamps OF which
will weigh 1000 pounds each and be run
at the rate of 80 drops per minute. The
mill will also be provided with all the
latest and most improved appliances for
concentrating the values in the shines
from the stamp mill batteries.
The Randolph Mill company have in
course OF construction new water flume
which will be nearly LOO feet in length.

By the Way.

A visit to the shore near the Battery
last Saturday afternoon revealed a scene
at once unique and beautiful. The east
erly winds had driven on the shore great
cakes of ice, which lay piled upon one an
other to the depth of six or eight feet,
forming a solid sea wall which extended
several rods from the shore. 1t was more
than half food and floating cakes of ice,
large and small, were being churned by
the action of the tide, which rippled
along the outer edge of the loose ice,
while beyond was clear blue water. A
corn laden schooner was drifting rather
than sailing toward Belfast, and over by
Sears Island the steamer Penobscot was
making her way up river. Near by flock
of ducks were disporting themselves in the
icy water, diving until it seemed as though
they would never come up and then rising
to the surface only to dive again. There
were tracks in the snow and over the ice
wall, made by clam diggers, and also the
impress of pussy's fur clad feet, but one
wonders what could have taken her to the
shore at this season. From the bushes
came the notes of birds, and the tinkling
of sleigh bells announced an arrival at one
of the Battery cottages. Such were the
scenes and sounds at the shore on a win
ter's afternoon.

the blowing up of the Maine waXed very
belligerent whenever the subject was

his desire to fight Spain. Another boy
evidently has not got onto the Anglo

our ability to click the British" One
day he said we had done it once and could
do it again, when another boy, a warm
admirer of the Father of His Country, re
marked that, "We couldn't have done it
if ii hadn' been for George Washington. .
"We could, too" was the retort. As
for the other nations, this firm believer in

could lick any three of them.
