IMPROVEMENT IN SIGHT.

Council will Enforce sidewalk Ordinances
in the City.
Notices were sent out yesterday to all
property owners in the city who have
failed to lay sidewalks in compliance
with city ordinances. 1t is understood
that the council has decided to lay the
walks, after certain period, and assess
the cost against the property. 1t is
claimed that some difficulty is being ex-
perienced in securing tagging, but now
that milder weather has set in it is not
likely that further delay will result from
that cause.
1t is also stated that the city is serious.
ly considering improving the street
crossings. A plan will be up at the meet
ing next Monday night for raising the
stone crossings on the main streets, at
least, to somewhat higher level than
they are at present.
The difference of opinion among mem
bers regarding the best system of paving
or macadamizing the streets is now said
to be the only obstacle in the way OF per-
manent street Improvements and it is not
improbable that that matter will be set
tied at the next meeting OF the board.

Editor Camera:-
Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er of the past few weeks, the mines in
and around this district continue to yield
their regular shipments, and several
good strikes have been made, notably.
IN the Lucky Star and the Gillard, with
several others of minor importance.
A visit to the Lucky Star will convince
"the old chronics" that there are other
veins in Boulder county besides the
"knife blade seams" we have heard so
much about In previous years. The vein
at the ISo foot level is three feet wide
and runs about 500 per ton. Consider
able higher grade ore is assorted from
the vein showing some very beautiful
specimens of free gold and tellurium. A
torce of about 20 men are employed in
the mine, mostly ON development work.
We learn from Mr.. Lou Johnston,
superintendent of the Star. that his CON-
pany will at once erect plant of ma
chinery on the Trident property, which
is located about 1000 feet west of the
Star
In sinking the Gillard shaft a fine body
of ore has been encountered, the vein
averaging about four feet wide between
walls; the quartz runs from two feet to
two feet six inches, assaying $40. Sew.
eral cars of this ore is now ready for ship.
ment, which will be made as soon as the
roads will permit.
The leasers on the Concord are engag-
ed in running drift at the I2o foot level
west, to intersect contact vein which
produced some rich GOLD ore in the early
seventies. A recent shipment from this
property gave returns of six ounces gold
The Last Chance improves in value
as the drift is continued east. Stopping
will be commenced as soon as possible
after the present contract is completed.
The vein averages about I8 inches wide.
carrying values from $40 to $50 per ton.
The leasers on the Tambourine still
continue to produce their regular ship
ments and are all making good wages.
MIR. Teagarden and members of the
Wood Mountain Mining and Milling
company who are here on visit to their
I, properties, feel jubllant over a strike
made few days since in the west drift
at the 22o foot level After running
about 20 feet from the shaft, the vein
opened out to two feet wide, pick pieces
assayng away up in the hundreds, aver.
aging $50. A large amount of develop.
ment work is at present being done by
the company, running cross cuts and
drifts and as soon as the weather moder.
ates regular shipments will be continued
Under the efficient management Of
Mr.. R. Swain, the Io.stamp mill at this

County Has No Option.

The county has no option of redemp-
ton on the court house bonds. Treas
urer Hastings has traced the bonds, and
finds them still in the hands OF the orig
inal purchaser, f.. W. Carpenter OF Fox
boro. Mass
Mr.. Carpenter writes under date oi
June 29, 1899, to Mr.. Hastings: II still
own the 10000 bonds, and payment is
not optional. Bonds numbered I. and
4 are payable November 10 next
amounting to 5000, which with the
81 800 interest, makes $500 to be paid
at the National Park bank, New York
at date named. Three thousand dollars
dollars more of the principal is to be
paid taking the bonds in numerical
ORDER annually thereafter till November
10, 1908, when the bonds are to be paid.
The bonds e., and 81 which are due
next Move nber have, with the years iu-
terest coupons total IS, 400, been already
left with the National Park bank, New
York. Mr.. kettenbach, of the Lewiston
National bank, told Inc, think, that he
himself, suggested the form leaving the
county no option as to payment so that
they might secure larger sum for the
sale, which | believe they did, that is
sold them at premium
This fixes the true status of the bond
question. The county has no option OF
redemption, but is pledged to redeem the
bonds beginning on November 10, 1899
The best that can be done is to pay these
when due and save $74o annually of the
accruing interest"
