OPINION ON DEEP MINES.

The Denver Mining Reporter of March
1e, contains the following, given as the
editors opinion of deep mines:
"When all logical reasoning ard all
known experience goes to show that in
variably mines get poorer in values with
depth, it is certainly wonderful to near
the unvarying statement of the average
prospector that all he needs is depth,
and that if he can only get down 900 feet
on his vein which assays s6.40 on the sur
face and which is entirely un-oxidized or
unchanged, that he will be the possessor
Of an Independence or Comstock.
"1f many prospectors, who at present
are bewailing their lack Of capital to sink
1,000-foot shafts, would get the dirt oil

foot shafts, we predict much more sue.

"Of course, after obtaining depth be.

and country rock, is unoxidized, the
prospector may find richer ore than he
did closer to the surface; an occurrence
Of this kind, however, is merely an illus

sMELTER COMBINE WILL RAISE
SILVER

John T. Graham of Denver, promi-
nent mining man, who was in Topeka,
Kansas, on March %, on his return from
New York, is quoted as saying that the
first new step by the smelter trust would
be an advance in the price of silver of 10
per cent. He said: "This is a trust that
will prove beneficial instead of oppress-
i've. All the smelter operators who en-
tered into the combine signed contract
agreeing not to raise the price on the
treatment of ore for the next ten years.
The advance in silver will be made with
in very short time, Just as soon as the
combine can be perfected"
A DECISION OF IMPORTANCE TO
MINERS.
Last Friday the acting secretary of the
interior at Washington rendered decis-
ion stating that the statute requires that
notice OF an application for patent
for mining claim be published for 60
days and that all adverse claims be filed
during the 60 days. Heretofore when
notice is published in weekly newspa-
per, ten consecutive insertions have been
held necessary. Under this rule the
tenth insertion always occurs after the
expiration of the period required.
Friday the acting secretary of the inte-
rior decided that the time fixed by the
statutes for publication and for the filing
Of adverse claims is sixty days and that
the regulation as to weeklies was incon-
sistent and Of no effect. He therefore
approved the publication in one case
which covered the full period of 60 days
and included nine insertions in weekly
newspaper.
In another case the secretary holds
that an adverse claim filed after the pub.
lication had been running for sixty days
could not be recognized even though it
was filed before the tenth insertion in a
weekly newspaper.

Hallett instructed the jury that it would
be impossible for company to make a

A reporter of the Denver News last
Thursday called on Mr.. Simon Guggen-

phia Smelling and Refining company,
who recently returned from the Orient,
and elected the following relative to the
rumors circulated of late regarding his
company and M. Guggenheim's Sons en-
tering the smelling trust:
"Mr. Guggenheim states emphatically
that his concern has no intention of
abandoning its independent position.
The 81, 100000 OF stock which the trust
was reported to have set aside for the
requirement Of their plants would not
begin to purchase the vast interests Of
this firm, for they own many immense
plants representing an enormous capital.
"At Pueblo in this state they have a
lead and copper smelter; at Monterey,
Mex, lead smelter, and at Perth Am
boy, N. j., lead and copper refinery;
also lead and copper refinery at Aguas
Calientes, Mexico. Three of their lead
smelters are the largest in the world and
the capacity of their lead refinery at
Perth Amboy is large enough to handle
nearly one-half the entire lead bullion
produced in this country.
GAIL these plants are the exclusive
property of the Guggenheims, who are
are also large mining operators, owning
extensive copper, lead and silver mines
in the United States and Mexico. When
the smelter trust was first projected, the
Messrs. Guggenheim were invited to par
ticipate, but they declined positively to
entertain any proposition. 1t is the in
tention of NJ. Guggenheim's Sons to re-
main thoroughly independent and con-
duct their vast interests personally"
