NEWS AND NOTES.

The Golden Globe announces that the
Union Pacific Railroad company has sew
eral mining experts in the foothills hunt
ing for copper veins on their land.
George w. Mabee, ST., is sinking a
new Shirt east of the Newfoundland
main shaft. For the present an Arm
strong holster -windlass being used.
Work has been resumed in the New
house tunnel at Idaho Springs in driv-
ing it further from its former heading.
There is general rejoicing at the Spa over
the fact.
The average price of lead in 1898 was
50 rs, and so far this year has been S435
per leo. The average price of copper in
1893 was 1915 cents per pound. This
year it is more than II cents.
Last week the operators OF the Tucker
mine in Chase gulch, Quartz Valley dis
trict, resumed the shipment OF ore to
the sampling works in Black Hawk.
The ore is OF a galenous character, and
carries gold, silver and copper values as
we'll as the lead.
j. w. Karns has taken hold OF the
Hays & Wheeler lode in Illinois Central
Mining district, and will develop it to a
greater depth. A new shaft building
will be erected us soon MS the lumber can
be delivered, and new and improved
steam holster will be secured.
Idaho Springs Gazette: E. d. Quigley
is driving the Lake tunnel for the Bell.
man lode, which he will cut about 800
feet deep. AS the deepest workings on
the Bellman are 200 feet, this will open
up large territory. Some very rich ore
has been produced from the Bellman.
Lamont x Ballard have been awarded
the contract for the erection OF new
and large shaft house on the Freedom
lode on Winnebago hill. Nate A. Sears
has completed the placement OF a large
and new boiler at the same mine. Work
on the new shaft house was commenced
this week.

MINE MANAGEMENT.

A recent presidential address before
the Institution of Mining and Metallur-
gy of Pennsylvania, contained among
many good things, the following remarks
in regard to the Qualifications of nina
manager, which are particularly peril
nent during the present very great and
general interest which is being taken in
mining matters. The extract is taken
from Mines and Minerals, published at
Scranton, Pa. 1t reads as follows:
A capable mine manager of today re-
quires to be a man of parts. The days
when it was considered that an iliterate
man, hose whole knowledge consisted
of an appreciation of the price at which
a level should be driven, ground stopped,
or shaft sunk, coupled with an ability
to do the manual work himself as well as
or better than his men, was the best
manager of a mine, have passed away
forever. and although we still occasion
ally hear the practical man" quoted, no
one in his senses would employ such a
man nowadays in preference to proper
ly trained manager. A practical man is
still required at the head of affairs, but
he must have a wide grasp. He must,
of course, have good knowledge of min
ing as IA first consideration, but he equal
ly ought to possess considerable ac-
quaintance with the treatment of ores,
and fair Knowledge of chemistry, so as
to be able to investigate the causes of
UNEXPECTED difficulties in treatment
which may present themselves. He
should be an accountant, a mechanical
engineer and an electrician, and able,
moreover, to handle men and get a fair
days work done for fair days pay;
might add, that he must be a diplomat,
list, and more or less of bush lawyer, in
order to deal with those with whom he
is brought in contact outside the actual
working of the mine; and there may be
other qualifications / have not men
toned. Very few men possess all these
attributes in perfection; and, perhaps,
the most necessary qualification that a
manager requires is "a knowledge OF his
weak points and an ability to select cap
able and reliable men for those posts
with the details of which he is the least
acquainted.

Another Pioneer Enters Rest.

| telegram was received at The On.
| SERVER office last Saturday morning
dated at San Diego, California, from
David g. Collier, Jr, announcing that
his father, Hon. David c. Collier en-
tered rest at 10 o'clock Friday evening,
August IL, after a short illness, at the
family residence in that city. Thus
quietly passed away one of the earliest
pioneers of Colorado, who took an active
fostering the enterprises that laid the
foundation for the present great CON.
monwealth of Colorado.
Judge David C. Collier came to Colo
rado in October, 1858, from Wyandotte,
Kansas. He resided in Denver up to
1862, and was the first lawyer to hang
out his shingle in that now metropolitan
city in 1853. In summer time he pros
pected in Gilpin and Clear Creek coun-
ties, and on the White river down to ard
through the Uncompahgre valley, which
was recently thrown open for settle
ment.
In 1862 he came to Central City and
became connected with the tri-weekly
Register as editor. Afterward Judge
Collier, in connection with Hugh Glenn
plant and established the Daily Register,
the firm adding many improvements to
the plant. General Frank Hail. now re-
siding in Denver, in 1865 became asso-
ciated with him in the Register. which
was the leading republican journal in
the state. Judge Collier continued as
editor of the paper until 1873, when he
sold out to Warren w. Whipple, being
compelled to do so owing to continued
id health. Previous TO this he had al
ways taken an active part in educational
matters, filling the Office of county su-
lperintendent OF schools in a highly
creditable manner. In 1877 he was
elected county Judge, serving six years.
two terms. He was prominent Mason,
being Master Mason, Royal Arch Ma-
son and knight Templar. He was the
first president of the Gilpin County
Pioneers association.
He was native of Chautauqua coun-
ty, New York. He received scientific
course of education at Oberlin college,
Ohio, where he was student for five
years, earning his own living and paying
his tuition.
He left Colorado in 1895 and took up
residence in San Diego, California, where
he practiced law and became prom:-
nent citizen. He leaves a wife, married
daughter and a son, afoster brother and
sister, the two latter residents of Denver.
He was in his 9th year.
Judge Collier was man OF strong
convictions and had the courage OF the
same. He was an able, conscientious
jurist, a good citizen and neighbor, and
kind and affectionate father. The sin
cere sympathy of his many Colorado
friends go out to the bereaved family,
brother and sister. Peace to his ashes.
