before the council adjourned last night
he succeeded in getting through a mo-

FAST TIME MADE.
Eastbound Santa Fe Flyer Made Up
Two Hours.

Santa F'e eastbound limited train No.
4, which passed through Topeka early
this morning, made up two hours in
time between Albuquerque, New MeXi-
co and Kansas City. The train left
and passed Kansas City exactly on
time.
In the face of the fact that the regular
schedule time of the train is something
over so miles an hour, the making up
of 120 minutes means that some mar
Vicious running was done. From New
ton to Emporia, a distance of "A miles
the running time was over a mile a
minute for the entire distance.

LACK OF PERSISTENCE.

The result of carelessness aud lack OF
persistence in prospecting is illustrated
by a recent occurrence in San Juan
county, says the Denver Republican.
Several years ago the Kansas was located
in Ice Lake Basic, and 200 foot tunnel
driven on what was supposed to be the
vein. The ore gradually pinched out,
and when the breast shovel nothing but
barren rock the claim was abandoned. 1t
was subsequently relocated, and after.
ward sold to George Lacey, who ran a
short cross-cut and opened fine body
of ore. 1t is now shown that the tunnel
followed narrow stringer and for more
than 100 feet ran into the country rock
alongside the vein. The property has
been rechristened the Little Emma, and
is now the chief lead producer of the
district.

GILpIN COUNTY SAFE.

Said a prominent mining man OF the
county in the Office of the Teller House,
Saturday evening: 1.-THE question OF
whether the requirement by law that
miners, stamp mill and smelter employees
should work but eight hours a day, is a
public necessity, will unquestionably be
tested in the proper courts, but no mat
ter what the result, Gilpin county will
go on in the even tenor of its way pro-
ducing ore. The working men in this
state have great deal at stake, more so
than in any other state in the country,
and they cannot afford to do anything to
interfere in the future. There seems to
be desire on the part of employers of
labor to meet the employees in a fair and
friendly spirit, and whatever may occur
elsewhere Gilpin county is fortunately
safe"

ANOTHER MINING DECISION.

The secretary of the interior last Fri

Pilgrim, Flora Thorne, Annie May and

Mining company, Clear Creek county.
F. Smith was allowed opportunity to ap-
ply for a.hearing to determine whether
the lodes embraced in his entry were
known to exist at the time OF application
for patent, and this opportunity was ex-
tended four or five times, but he always
failed to make the showing, and the ac.
ton against him has therefore been af.
firmed.

MAY OUTPUT OF THE COOK COLL

Mr.. Clarenc K. Colvin, of the Cook

ephoned the following to The OBSERVER
as the output Of that property for the
month OF May: Stamp mill ore, 3,4OO
tons; smelling iron, 133 tons. The stamp

This property ranks second in the

being exceeded by the Kansas Bur
roughs Consolidated Mining company,
whose output for the same month was
479 tramway cars, or 4,070 tons.
AS Mr.. Colvin gains depth in the work
ings Of the cage shaft, there is a cores
ponding increase in the ore values.
