New Mexico Mica,

O. b. Steen has returned to Santa Fe
from a visit to southern Santa Fe coun-
ty, where he is interested in the Bel
cher lead property, says the New Mexi-
can. He reports no new developments
in that part of the country. He was
accompanied to this city by l.. III.
| Whitcomb. of Cleveland, Ohio, man
ager of the American Mica Milling
Company of Cleveland. Mr.. Whit
comb is progressive young man, who
spent two years in the country around
Taos several years ago. He speaks we'll
of New Mexico and its future pros
poets, aud has such firm faith in its
climate and its resources that he in.
tends to make the territory his perma-
nent home if he can satisfactorily ar
range his business affairs in Cleveland
The properties owned by the Ameri-
can Mica Milling Company are thir
teen in number, and are twelve miles
from Tres Piedras and three miles
from the properties of the Colorado
Springs Mica Mining Company. Six
to ten men are constantly employed at
the mica mines of the company, and
four carloads of mica are shipped
monthly to Cleveland. Ohio. The mica
such as cannot be split in plates, is
ground fine and used in axle grease by
the Standard Oil Company and on
wall paper. New Mexico mica is con-
sidered the best in the world, SAYS
Mr.. Whitcomb. IL has been tested
chemically and found to be superior to
North Carolina and New Hampshire
the article is found in the United
States. Mr.. Whitcomb will tomorrow
forenoon view several mica mining
prospects northeast of Santa Fe, i'm
which Judge .IcFie aud District Clerk
A. M. Bergers are interested. The
samples he has seen convince him that
the mica is the equal Of that found at
Tres Piedras. And il the prospects
bear out the surface indications Mr.
Whitcomb thinks his company will
either purchase the prospects outright
or purchase their product. Mr.. Whit
comb has other mining interests in the
territory. He is interested in mines at
Amizett and Rio Hondo, but says that
he has not paid much attention to

The Colorado river on both Califor-
mia and Arizona sides below Needles
for one hundred miles is now alive
with prospectors, numbering at least
ten where heretofore there has been
one. More development work has
been done in this section of the coun-
try during the last six months than
ever before, with the probability that
the coming winter will see some pro-
ductive mines in active operation. Con-
siderable outside capital has been in
terested and the progress of the work
only fulfills the prophecy of old pros
pectors that the country is rich in min
eral. Gold and copper properties are
now being searched for by numerous
representatives of capital, and it is
safe to say that more mines will be
heard from in the coming season.-Eye.

FROM LEADvILLE TO WARD.

The Buena Vista smeiter is still closed,
owing to the breaking Of the power dam.
says the Leadville Miner. The Mike and
Starr output is usually sold to this
smelter, but now it is diverted to the
Ward (Colorado) pyritic mating fur
naces. The composition Of this ore is
adapted to this process, owing to the
high percentage Of iron contained. 1t
carries a large percentage Of sulphur
which serves in the furnaces as fuel.
This ore is routed over the Colorado
road, which had a complete cessation Of
business during the past thirty days,
This tonnage will be as large as usual.
This mine has slopes Of this matefial ex-
tensive and lasting enough to supply all
Austin basis furnaces till the end Of
time. Some streaks OF high grade ore
are also showing which carries copper
and gold. This is the first shipment of
ore to Ward.

Solved the Mystery.


Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, the we'll
known lecturer, died at noon last Friday
at his home in Dobbs Ferry, New York,
of appoplexy. Colonel Ingersoll went to
his home in Dobbs Ferry two days previ-
GUS apparently in good health. Shortly
after his arrival there he complained of
slight indisposition. He spent Friday
morning in his room, and shortly before
he was stricken his wife offered to have
his luncheon sent up to him SO that he
would not have to walk down to the
dining room. He laughingly replied
that, while he did not feel quite as young
as he used.to he guessed he was not yet
an invalid, and he would go down with
the others. AS he finished speaking and
was about to rise he fell back into his
chair. A physician was Immediately
summoned, but when he reached the
house he found that Mr.. Ingersoll had
died almost instantly. The physician
did not give the cause Of his death, but
the family believe it was due to appo-
plexy. Mr.. Ingersoll's wife and two
daughters were with him when he died.

RICH TOPEKA ORE.

Henry P. Lowe on Friday shipped
1000 pounds Of ore showing more or less
free gold, which contained values OF
51,46e.37 per ton. The ore was taken
from the last cross-cut 800 feet west of
the east or main shaft, about 16 feet
above the S00-foot level, directly under
the west shaft. The ore is white quartz,
but not OF the calcite character us for
merly taken out. Another shipment was
made by express of three sacks having
an aggregate weight of 133 pounds which
is very rich in free gold. The latter was
consigned to Prof. E. E. Burlingame in

A Lad Five and One-HAlf Years OF Age
Meets Instant Death.
Last Thursday at 12:15 o'clock p. M,
as tramway engine No. 2 was coming
up with train OF empty cars from the
con pany's round house at Black Hawk,
ss the train passed around Winnebago
hill, lad 81 years Of sse attempted to
get onto one OF the pasaing can, hp uas
struck on the head, knockine him to the
ground. A younger brother attempted
to drag him from under the car, which
partly run over him, breaking both legs,
the left one above the knee joint and
the right one below that joint. He also
sustained severe injury on the back Of
the head at the base Of the brain, which
no doubt caused his death, although
when picked up he was still alive. He
also suffered internal hemorrhages.
Acting Coroner Thomas Hooper visited
the scene OF the accident, impaneled a
jury, and an inquisition was held on the
body, which had been removed to Harris
undertaking establishment, where it was
embalmed, placed in casket, and in the
afternoon was taken to the parents resi-
dence on Fourth East High street.
The jury examined five witnesses, but
no evidence was adduced which attached
any blame or negligence upon the part
OF the iramway employees, and verdict
was returned OF accidental DEATH"
The accident should be warning to
other boys who are continually in the
habit Of attempting to climb onto empty
tramway cars as the trains are on their
up trip to the various mines.
The funeral Of the lad occurred Satur-
day morning at $40 o'clock from ST.
Marys Church Of the Assumption. In
terment was made in the Catholic ceme-
terry.
The parents OF the lad have the sym.
pathy OF their many friends and com

Idaho Springs Gazette: Henry Branch
OF Denver has let contract OF driving
on the Helen cross-cut tunnel, in Lower
Fall River Mining district. The tunnel
is now in $50 feet, and 53 foet more will
cut the first lode, the Satisfaction, and
possibly the Horseshoe, as both come to-
gether on the surface. In 200 feet more
both veins in all will be cut. This en-
terprise is in the neighborhood of the
Bourbon mine, owned by DR.. Paul, and
some of the Pennsylvania Mining COM
pany's properties.
The Denver Mining Reporter claims
that more mining failures have resulted
from cross-cut tunnels intended to tap
the vein than by all other plans COM
bined. Until mines development is
sufficient to show certainty that a
sufficient ore body is in sight to justify
the cost Of driving tunnel, it is most
unsafe proposition. The best rule for
beginners is the often repeated one, "fol-
low the ore." A prospecting tunnel is a
delusion and snare.

ANOTHER MINING DECISION
Recently the court of appeals of Colo
RADIO, in the case of Galley vs.. Portland,
the following decision was handed down:
The assignee of mining lease, who was
to work the claim, pay for the same from
net proceeds up to certain sum, failed
to realize profits and permitted another
to work the mine with the same under
standing, but he also failed under the
sub lease to realize profits: The assign
ment did not forbid sub-letting nor re-
quire continuous working. The court
held that the assignees letting another
work was not putting it out of his
power to comply with his contract, 80 as
to make him liable, under the laws OF
Colorado, as il he had carried it out.
