NEW MINING COMPANIES.

A new mining company, with a capt.
alization of S3,0O0,0G0, has been organ
ized in Arapahoe counties, in Colorado
and in British Columbia. The company
is to be known as the Columbia. The
company is to be known as the Columbia
Mines company, representing people from
almost every state in the Union, includ-
ing Russell A. Alger, secretary of war;
j. S. Meushaw of British Columbia;
Mark r. Dull of Mexico; o. c. Sabin of
Wisconsin,; Phil p Reese of Maryland
and others. Several mines in Ward dis
trict, Boulder county, will be operated
ment OF Mr.. Merrill. All the interests of
the latter will be absorbed by the COM
pany.
A syndicate OF New York capitalists
have purchased the plant of the Colora
do Smelling and Refining company at
Butte, Montana, paying therefor $780,
600. The works have been in operation
since 1888. Tho sale was effected by
Henry r. Wolcott, of Denver. Among
those interested in the old company are
II. Il. Wolcott, n. p Hill, d. o. Wocott,
Richard Pearce, Henry Harrington, and
the millionaire mine owner, U. S. Senator
w. A. Clark. All of the gentlemen ex
cepting the latter are connected with the
Boston & Colorado Smelling Works at
Argo.
Peter T. Collie of Central has interest
ed Denver and Kentucky capital, with
which to open up the Sunshine group of
mines on Prosser mountain, Eureka
district, which will be designated as the
Peerless Gold Mining company. A shaft
is now down 130 feet, showing from three
to four feet of crevice material. Mr.. Col
lie will look after the property. He will

LOOKING TO THE MINES.

John Owen of Idaho Springs, who has
been operating in Clear Creek county for
twenty years, said to a reporter for the
Denver News a few days ago: "Eastern
capital is looking to the mines OF Colo
RADIO in much larger quantities than l
have seen for years. There has been much
inquiry from the east concerning the
mines of Gilpin county, and men are
finding no difficulty in securing capital
to prosecute development. To me things
are looking very encouraging. The feel
ing is better than it has been for years
and we can look for very lively season."

ON ACCOUNT OF A TAX DEED.

The Boulder Tribune says that suit
was commenced in the district court of
that county on Monday, Feb. 81, by the
American Star Mining Company, VS.. E..
II. DeVore, S. A. Giflin, ct al, to set aside
a tax decd on the American Star mine
at Gold Hill. An Injunction is also asked
to restrain defendants from operating
and extracting ore from the mine. The
suit will probably be but the commence
ment Of long legal contest, as both sides
are determined to retain the mine. The
result OF this suit will be watched with
interest by mining men in other portions
of the state.

Not Dead.

The report that gained credence in this
city last Monday morning that Thomas
Cavanaugh OF this city, who has been
visiting relatives in Denver, had died the
day previous, was without foundation. A
telephone message from his brother.in-
law:in that city, received about noon that
day, stated that the report was canard.
This will be pleasing intelligence TO that
gentleman's friends in Gilpin county.

LILLIAN MINE.

Craig, Hughes and Chance of the Lii
liam mine have commenced sinking in the
main shaft. Recently they cut into a
streak of peacock ore, which contains a
very fine grained gray, and bright yellow
coppes.. The mine never looked better
than at present, the values in the ore
keeping up to their former high average.
The Lillian has proved one of the most
profitable veins in Russell district for the
amount of development it has received
and the number of tons of ore produced.

The Plans of the Smelter Combine Com
pletcd.
The Pittsburg, Pa, Post of last Satur-
day says that one of the most gigantic
combinations ever attempted by COM
mercial organizations in the United
State was completed today over the
wires between New York and Pittsburg.
1t is consolidation of all the smelters
and refineries of the precious metals in
the United States. The final move was
the purchase of the Pennsylvania Lead
company's works at Salt Lake City,
Utah. Price paid is not made known.
The new combine will be capitalized at
S46,CC0,0O0. 1t is understood that ex-
Governor j. B. Grant of Colorado will be
president, and Barton Sewell of Chicago
is mentioned for vice president. The
deal has been under negotiation for sew
eral months. The following companies
are in the combine: Omaha & Grant,
with works at Omaha, Denver and Du-
range, Colo; the Consolidated Smelling
and Refining company OF Kansas City,
with works at Kansas City, Leadville,
and El Paso, Texas; the United States
Smelling and Refining company of Chi
cago, with works at Chicago, Ill, Pueblo,
Colo, Helena and Great Falls, Montana;
the Aurora Smelling ard Refining com
pany at Aurora, ILL.,; the Pueblo Smelt-
ing and Refining company, with works at
Pueblo, Colo; the Globe Smelling and
Refining company, with works at Den
yer, Colo; the Germania Smelling and
Refining company, with works at Salt
Lake City, Utah; the Bimetallic Smelt-
ing company, with works at Leadville,
Colo; the Pennsylvania Smelling compa-
ny, of Salt Lake City, and the Pennsyl-
vania Lead company of Pittsburg, Pa.
There is probably mistake made in the
Philadelphia works at Pueblo, as the
Gug9enheims have invariably expressed
hostility to the combine.

DEPARTURE FROM OLD METHODS.

Denver Mining Reporter: On Mon.
day, February 70, at about 2 O'Clock p.
m, water was turned into the pressure
pipes of the new plant for unwatering
the Coms' ock mines, at Virginia City,
Nevada, resulting in lowering the water
in the shaft below the Sutro tunnel at
the rate Of one foot n minute. When
the great slopes are reached the
visible effect, except at the discharge
but the Comstock Pumping association
have scored an immense success, and one
that will be OF great benefit to all mines
where large volume OF water has to be
lifted. This water lift and the COM
pressed air lift installed at Carl juno
tion, Mo-, make a most important de-
parture from the old methods OF handling
water, and are among the most valuable
Of modern mining appliances.

pumps at work, two of the Cameron and
one of the Snow pattern. The manner in
which this as we'll as the company's
workings on the Kansas vein north of
and parallel with the Burroughs vein,
have been opened, gives them reserve ore
bodies to fall back upon in case of con-
tingency arising; such as passing through
pinched or barren ground. They have
large quantities of ore in both properties
already broken in the mine, which they
can fall back upon. The weather last
month was corlier on the company,
which prevented them from having an
output of $500 tons of ore. Instead it
only footed up total of about 800 tons
all told. The inability of the tramway
company to furnish sufficient number
of cars to transport the ore to the custom
mills in Black Hawk, caused the light
output for February

He reports that the Plateau mine, of
which he is manager, at a depth Of 525
feet has four feet of mineral of very
good grade. The weather has been such
throughout the entire district during the

SQUIRE JOHN M'CANN.
Should Be Elected Judge of
the City Court by a Big
Majority.

Squire John Mccain, Democratic can
didate for Judge of the Police Court, is a
man whom every citizen, and Irish
Americans in particular, should take
pleasure in voting for. Born in this city
fifty years ago, his early youth was spent
in acquiring a common school education
and selling papers. In 1871 the working
men of the Ninth and Tenth wards
elected him to the Office of Constable, and
during the succeeding twenty-eight years
they have had no truer friend or wiser
counselor than he.
The Squire was both ambitious and
studious, and in 1875 he was elected
Magistrate in the same wards, which Of
fee he has held since, though there have
been frequent changes and engagements
of the district. AS Magistrate he has de-
cided thousands of cases, and has made
the best record of any hat Louisville has
ever had. He served six years in the
State Senate with distinction. being twice
reelected without opposition. While in
the Senate he was a jealous guardian of
the rights of all classes of citizens, and
to his watchfulness was due the defeat of
several measures calculated to Cypress
the workingmen and restrict them in the
enjoyment of their rights.
Squire Mccain has always been a
Democrat, and his reputation for honesty
and integrity in the discharge of his Of
fetal trusts and in his private life is
known to every inhabitant of the city
and State, and has never been once ques-
toned. Admitted to the bar in 1888, he
now comes before the people as their can
didate with his private life unspotted. In
his entire career as Magistrate and leg
isiator it is conceded that he proved to be
faithful to the public, and the voters of
the city of Louisville recognize the fact
that he is thoroughly equipped for the
Office to which he aspires and for which
the Democratic party has nominated him.
His friends can only be numbered by the
thousands, which argues we'll for his cleo
ton as the successor of Judge Wheeler

HISTORIC PALACE.

The historic palace of Queen Hortense
at Rue Laftte. Paris, has become the
property of the International Bank of
Paris and is about to be demolished.
This recalls many events in the life of the
unhappy Eugene Hortense de Beauhar-
nais. By her marriage with Bonaparte
Hortense became the Queen of Holland.
She liked life in Paris better than in her
own sturdy capital, and her receptions
were the rendezvous for artists, literary
men and wits A painter and musician
herself, it was in this palace that she
composed the famous air "Partant pour
la Syrie." 1t was under the shadow of
the trees in the garden that the boy after
wards Napoleon III. spent his early days.
Her oldest son died in 1906. After Napo-
leon went into exile Hortense reigned
over Holland as Regent. When she re-
turned to France her life was made
unbearable by the malice and envy of her
friends. She died in Switzerland in 1887,
and in accordance with her wishes she
was buried beside her mother at Reuii.

comedy adapted from the French by
Augustin DAILY, and produced with re-
markable success at his New York thea

Meffert Stock Company at the Temple
Theater next week 1t is novelty in
French farce inasmuch as it is absolutely
clean in its story, yetexcruciating funny
in the unfolding of Its many laughable
situations. Adolphns Doubledot, an
amateur musician ambitious to compose
an opera, has just MAJ led, and the first
scene opens on his we ling day when he
has brought home q bride and her
remarkable mother, who refuses to leave
the pair for moment. Many amusing
complications ensue which eliminate in
the mother insisting upon divorce for
her daughter with alimony sufficient to
keep them both. Her scheme once
accomplished she casts about for a Sec
ond victim for her docile daughter, and
secures one in the person of Benjamin
Buttercorn, retired merchant with a
lovable daughter, who tails in love with
the divorced Doubledot, and thus the
latter's first wife becomes his mother-in-
law, and his former mother-in-law be-
comes nemesis pursuing him through
many roaring situations until a final
adjustment is made. The comedy will

LABOR WORLD.
Notes and Gossip of the Week
From All Parts of the
Country.

The coopers' delegates are among the
most regular attendants.
The carpenters have a most jealous
representative in Joseph Heheman.
Unions will be notified this month
which delegates have not been attending.
The BARRIERS of New Albany will hold a
meeting tomorrow looking to the organ
ization of local union.
With few more men like John w.
Stevens the hackmen would have one of
the best unions in the country.
The pudding department of the Ohio
Falls Iron Works were put in operation
Monday. This means considerable to
New Albany.
The youngest delegation in the Central
Labor Union comes from the Press Feed
ers' Union. They make up in enthusiasm
what they lack in experience.
President McGill and the delegates OF
the Central Labor Union were invited to
visit the newly organized chain workers
in Jacksonville Thursday night.
Since the organization of the Falls City
chain workers they have induced all but
about half-dozen to join the union.
Their prospects are very bright for the
future.
The ball of the Printing Pressmen's
Union at Music Hall Thursday night was
quite largely attended, and the members
of that organization made a host Of
friends.
Business Agent Dietz says the carpen-
tiers are in better condition than for many
years. Both locals now have snug sums
in their treasures with which to pay all
benefits that may become due.
At a joint meeting of Carpenters
Unions 1O3 and PA last Monday evening
ten new members were initiated. Ten
applications were also received and will

November l3. This union is made up of
lively young men who know how to
make these affairs enjoyable.
President Mahon, of the Street Railway
Employees, refuses to recognize in any
way the United Trades and Labor Assem-
ply of Louisville. The friction that has
been removed was caused by that body
and the Evening News, say the repre-
sentative street railway men.
The Cincinnati Labor Council held a
monster meeting in Music Hall Thursday
night to protest against the horrors in
hicted upon the Idaho miners confined
IN the '~ard1er bui III PEN Cen Merriam
and President Mckinley were denounced

1t took "Old Sol' and his most earnest
rays to stop the two months run OF Ward
and Vokes and their big travesty COM
psny in Chicago last summer. Until the
heat was positively unbearable in July
the people of the windy city fiocked to
see the big fun show provided by this
organization. THE Floor Walkers"
which was used during this run for the
first time, has been decided upon as the
new vehicle for this seasons road tour,
and 1t will be seen at the Avenue next
week. All the brilliant scenery and
electrical paraphernalia employed in
Chicago is carried, and the production is
promised to be thing of beauty. The
company surrounding Ward and Vokes
contains nearly the same list OF princi-
pals as were seen in Chicago. The cos
tunes are all new for the read tour and
are said to be works of art. 1t may
therefore be concluded that this very
popular duo Of comedians have drawn
out of the grab bag of fortune another
winner. 1t is distinctly Ward and Vokes
entertainment. Any one who has ever
seen "a Run on the Bank" or "The
Governors" will know just what this
means.
