DURANGO (Col.), May 3.-About 100
homeseelSers We're lined up at the land
office here at noon to-day prepared 10
make filings on claims in the Ute res
ervation, which will be opened for set
Element at noon tomorrow. Many
stood in line all night, and the number
is being slowly augmented.
Settlers are divided in opinion as to
the method of filing. Priority of rights
rests with the party who settles upon
the land. By 1870 p. m. tomorrow. at
the latest actual, settlements by hun
dreds of people will be made while only
two or three filing in the land office can
be registered before that hour 1t has
always been the practice, it is said, in
cases of contest to give actual settlers
preference. No United States Marshals
have appeared, and there seems to be
no necessity for them. The Indians are
not manifestings any uneasiness. and
their holdings will be protected against
all intruders.

unusual advantages for cheap and rapid
development The vein is exposed by
1870 feet of tunnel and averages three
feet wide of quartz, worth $37, 80 per
ton in free gold. The company hes be-
gun active operations and will start
second tunnel. below the first. A mill
is also contemplated. The mine is UNI
der the mana cement of P. r. Gardner.
The Jubilee Mining Company is hav-
ing good work done on the Hazel Dell,
and everything about the property is
looking fine The vein, which is being
drifted on both ways, has opened up
from 2 feet to 3 feet 6 inches wide,
holding from wall to- wall the same
high grade. Two baby" power drills
are being put in. the first of the kind
in the county. The two 2-stamp mill
is rapidly assuming shape under the
direction of James Hamilton, and will
be completed within two weeks from
this date
THE COPPER QUEEN SALE.
Trinity Journal: The sale of the Cop
per Queen mine, mention of which was
made in last weeks Journal" will, if
contaminated, mean great deal to that
section of the country. The mine is
situated a few miles from Carrville and
about six miles from Trinity Center.
With the mine there was included in
the deal about 900 acres of adjoining
ground. The owners of the property
were Frank Dimmock, VIM. Vollmers,
Thomas Baker and Elias Ellery.
The mine is rich in copper, carrying
carbonite ore which is easily treated.
The mine has been developed consider
ably, having 300 feet of tunnels besides
other Improvements. 1t is an old mine
and was worked in the seventies when
the ore had TO be freighted to Red
Bluff and shipped by water to the city.
Even under these conditions it paid a
percentage of profit. At the present
time it is computed that there are over
10000 tons of ore in sight. In addi
ton to copper the ore carries both gold
and silver. The purchasers of the prop
erty intend as soon as the title is APP
proved and the deeds passed, to erect
forty-ton smelter and will work the
property on a large scale. The parties
interested have also bonded the Head
light mine of Frank Dimmock, prop
erty showing the same characteristics
as the Copper Queen.
Inc u0VelOpment anu WORKING Oh
these mines will be of great benefit to
that section of the county and will be
of assistance in opening other neighbour
ing properties which cannot now be
worked to advantage A smelter will
enable these mines now in enforced
idleness to have their ore treated. Low
grade propositions in that section which
cannot now be worked can be develop
ed al a profit. In addition to the hands
employed and goods consumed, mining
in that section will be greatly stimu-
lated Probably new road, terminal
ing at Delta. will be dug, shortening
the hauling distance to the railroad
more than one-half. The active work
ing of the Copper Queen will insure
many years of prosperity to Coffee
Creek and vicinity.
