THE NOVEMBER METEoRs OF 1899

The predicted time of maximum of
the November meteors is November 10,
1889, at 1Sh. Greenwich mean time. AS
a similar shower may not occur again
for thirty years, no pains should be
spared TO secure the best possible OBJ
servations. The most useful observa-
tons that can be made by amateurs are
those which will serve to determine
the number of meteors visible per hour
throughout the entire duration of the
shower. They should be made on No
vember 10. and also on the two preced-
Ing and following evenings. The most
important time for observation Is from
midnight until dawn, as comparatively
few meteors are expected earlier

ADVANCE IN LEAD.

Lead took a jump last Saturday up to
IL cents. To the producer this means
IL cents more per 100 pounds. AS the
Denver Times states, the rest goes to the
smelters and ore buyers. Fridays quo
tation in New York was S3S5 per 100.
Saturday it scared to s3.92Is.
An advance in lead has been predicted
for some time by those who follow the
course of the market and consequently
are posted on the fluctuations OF this
metal. Advices from New York asserted
that all lead would be up one cent in
thirty days, and the rise of today carries
out the prediction.
The ore buyers purchase from the
mine owners at an advance of ! cent for
every 100 pounds for every five points
advance in the New York market. Con-
sequently the producer secures one fifth
OF the market value of his product BY
the method of making five points to the
unit, the miners of this state will realize
about 10 cents profit in the rise of 7 y
cents in New York.
This is, of course, in general way the
idea. But ore that carries so per cent
LEAD sells for more than that which
shows only 10 or 10 per cent OF lead

DENVER AS A GATEWAY.

Recognizing the fact that Denver is
the gateway of the great gold producing
district of Colorado, and the whole Rocky
Mountain region, an exchange in com
menting upon the fact of the building of
n new coinage mint building IN Denver
to cost 100000 adds that it will furnish
local employment to large number OF
people. The country tributary to Den
yer, including Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona
and Nevada, will then send all or most
of its gold to Denver. The new coinage
mint will inevitably be government
sub treasury, and will probably result in
Denver having the disbursing Office OF
the pension, now distributed at Topeka,
Kansas. In the event OF the increased
use Of silver as money, the entire future
coinage OF silver will probably take place
at Denver. The new coinage mint will
therefore have very marked effect on
Denver as financial. mining and mining
machinery supply center.

to depth of 40 feet, and will continue
sinking until a depth of at least 100 feet

have erected a small but comfortable
shaft house, and for the present are
using windlass for hoisting purposes,
which will be supplemented by "whip"
with which they can hoist from the
depth of 100 feet. The new shaft can be
reached by the building of short piece

INTERESTING INVENTION.

An interesting German invention pro-

The device is called "sodor." 1t consists
OF siphon provided with wicket Gov

pear rshaped, thin iron capsule, filed
with liquid carbon dioxide gus. The top
OF the siphon is hinged, and after 1t is
swung into place n lever Is pushed down
which forces a piercing pin down through
the sodor capsule. The gas then forces
its way out through special channels

BIG COPPER CoMBISaTION

The Chicago Record of last Saturday
says that gigantic combination in cop
per was recently effected in New York,
and with the reputed backing of the
Standard Oil Company, the American
Copper company, in its combination of
six great plants, expects to revolutionze
the copper mining industry of the world.
The Boston and Montana and Butte
and Boston Mining Companies, the Old
Dominion Copper company of Arizona,
and the Arcadian Tamarack and Osceoa
Mining companies of Michigan, are
named as the component parts of the
new organization. 1t is understood that
the Calumet and Hecla company, the
largest producer in the Lake Superior
region, declined to enter the combine.

RICH NOTTAwAY ORE.

Lamont Il Ballard have completed the
erection of shaft building on the High
Grade lode south OF the Gunnell mine in
East Nevadavile, for the Denver parties
who are operating it. A small plant of
machinery has been placed. AS no water
will be contended with, it is sufficient
.caliber to sink the shaft to the depth OF
$50 or 400 feet.
Notice has been filed with County
Clerk and Recorder J. S. Updegraff, that
the control of the Cover Mines Syndi-
cate has been removed from Dr. John H.
Cover of Denver to Francis G. White of
Black Hawk. The syndicate are operating
the Running Lode group of mines in
Running Lode gulch, Black Hawk.
The Mining and Scientific Press very
appropriately observes that the miner
creates the greatest home market; he is
no competitor, but consumer at cash
prices. Each underground quartz miner
affords employment for ten men above
ground. The mining industry patronizes
all Others and competes with none.
Manager Charles Bleibel of the Cal
houn mine, Russell district, has com
pleted another 100 feet of sinking in the

houn developments have been going for

IN THE MATTER OF ADVICE.

Advice is usually worth what it costs
and in questions involving values in the
domain OF mining, engineering or mining
law, it is best, where practicable, to get
competent advice and pay for it. II
anything really important to the ques-
tioner is involved it will usually prove
the most satisfactory manner. In cases
OF disputes, arbitration is preferable to
litigation, and even in such cases it is
often requisite to have some idea OF the
rights OF each disputant before IN
opinion can be furnished, and such
opinion can be best supplied by mining
lawyer or mining engineer, according to
the matters involved.
