PECULIAR EXPERIENCE.

Golden Globe: A very peculiar ex-
perience came to William Proutt, who is
prospecting for coal on the Church
ranch, north of the city, this week. He
follow ed well-defined six-foot vein OF
bright coal down for thiIty-fve feet.
when suddenly he came to the end of it,
broken off clean, and nothing but soil
beneath. This is the result OF slide.
The real vein is somewhere west OF this,
but just where no one knows. 1t may
be half mile or more, but probably is
closer by. Here is study in geology
that leads to wonderful conclusions as
to what has transplred here in the long
ago.

"a Midnight BELL


The Denver News OF last Monday con
tanned the following criticism of this
piece, which will be seen ut the Opera
House in this city next Sunday evening:
at has been long time since theater-
goers here have witnessed the perform
ance of Hoyt,s "A Midnight Bell which
opened a weeks engagement at the Ia
Dor and to an audience that completely
filled the theater from top to bottom,
there not even being standing room
available. The presentation Of "A Mid
night Bell is by company of ability
sufficient to enter into the spirit of the
characters and the authors unpreten-
tious comedy. Mr.. l.. X. Stockwell was
seen in his original part, that of the Dea-
con. 1t is n sincere and artistic comedy
characterization showing much care,
much restraint from countless tempta-
tions to over-act and much sympathy
with the authors work. There is another
membea Of the company whose merit is
such that her acting cannot be passed
over with word or two Miss Pearl Ian
ders who plays the part of Dot Brad
bury. She can sing and dance as well.
Gus Tate made hit almost as great as
Eugene Kanfeld in .he old days OF the
play as Martin Trip.

A WONDER.

A Denver inventor is perfecting an en-
gine which, for simplicity Of action, eff
cheney and cheapness of construction,
promises to be a wonder, says the Min
ing Reporter. About the size and ap-
pearance OF a 12-inch Pelton water wheel
under five pounds of steam pressure the
first working model furnished power to
operate a Denver machine shop one
whole day, performing the work usually
required Of a 50-horse power engine.
Under higher steam pressure it ran like
a scared rabbit" bending shafting,
breaking belts and twisting pulleys out
of shape before the steam could be
turned off.

COOK GOLD MINING COMPANY.

COOK GOLD MINING COMPANY.
The Cook Gold Mining company have
completed sinking 100 feet in the cage
shaft, which gives it depth OF 800 feet
The work Of cutting out station is
going on. The shaft is still north OF the
vein proper, which is intersected by
means Of ross.cut. The vein reached,
the 8OO-foot levels will be extended. The
miners are troubled to some extent from
water coming into the shaft. AS soon as
the 1,1O0.foot west level from the Greg
ory incline workings is extended up TO
the point OF the Cook workings the water
will naturally recede.
MIR. Barnes, bookkeeper Of the COM
pany, yesterday kindly telephoned The

CONTRACT FOR INTEREST IN A MIN
ING CLAIM

The court of appeals of Colorado, in
the case of Dargin VS.. Cranson, that, in
consideration of the sinking of shaft in
a mining claim by certain persons, and
obtaining patent at their own expense,
the owner of the claim contracted to
convey to them certain interest in
same, provided the patent was obtained
at a certain date. They sunk the shaft,
paid him part OF the expense OF the
patent and notified him that they were
ready at any time to proceed with the
matter of the patent, but he advised
delay, saying he should let them know
when he wanted the balance of the
money. The court held that he thereby
waived the condition that the patent
must be obtained by certain date, and
could not claim anything for non.fulflll-
ment. Also that, as they could not take
out the patent, all they had to do was to
furnish the money for the patent.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN GILPIN COUNTY
John Best, in an interview with Den
yer Republican reporter last Thursday,
said: "Gilpin county has never looked
better than it does to-day. The mines
had hard time during the continuance
of the snow storm, but the snow is fast
disappearing and the shipments of ore
for April was one of the heaviest ever
recorded in the camp. The settlement
of the troubles that threatened to sus-
pend all operations on Bobtail hill has
greatly encouraged the miners Of the
district, and heavy output is antici-
pated this season."

THE Low GRADE EpnopEnrIEs.

The owners OF the low grade properties
are still cogitating over what will be-
come OF their interests when the eight
hour law with SO pay goes into effect on
the first OF next month, says Friday
evenings Denver Post. They still main
tain that it will mean their ruin. The
conferences with the smelter managers
have thus far been without result be.
cause the latter have not yet completed
tho organization Of their interests under
one management, and as this combine
will be effected early next week, or as
soon as A. II. Meyers Of the board OF
western managers OF the American
Smelling and Refining company arrives
in this city, the managers are averse to
making any decision on the matter as in.

dividuals when the combine will be
ready to act within few days.
1t is quite unlikely that any conces-
sions will be obtained from this source,
and the mine managers will try to have
the railroads reduce the freight charges.
An effort will also be made to have the
miners accept an advance Of 10 per cent.
over what is now paid in low grade
properties for eight hours work instead
of SO.
The district court of the United States,
in the case of the United States vs.. Four
Bottles of Sour Mash, held that the pro-
vision of the act of congress July l, 1890
authorizing the entry of mineral lands in
the Colville Indian reservation in the
state of Washington, under the. laws OF
the United States relating to the entry
OF mineral claims necessarily gave pros
pectors and miners the right to explore
the reservation for minerals, and author
lied citizens who make discovery Of valu-
able minerals in same to locate CLAIMS
and work them as required to obtain
title under the mineral laws. The effect
of such valid location is to segregate
the claim from the reservation, and ex-
tinguish the Indian title to the same,
which is merely possessory so that the
land embraced in such location ceases to
the Indian country, and becomes subject
to the state laws. The United States is
the primary source Of title to the public
lands, the Indians having only right of
occupancy, which may at any time be
extinguished by act of congress.
