NEWS AND NOTES.

Thomas Bros, of Nevadaville, who
have been prospecting on Mount Pisgah,
west of that place, have struck pros
pect that carries an ounce Of gold per
ton besides the silver values.
Miss Pearl Meek, of Eldora, had the
honor of pulling the lever of the water
wheel at the new chlorination mill at
that place which set the machinery in
motion May 81. The mine has capacity
of treating 75 tons per day
Hon. Joseph W. Bostwick, of Denver,
is having the water taken out of the
Clark. Gardner mine, on Quartz Hill,
prior to expert examination. II the mine
shows up as has been represented, it will
probably be started up in short time.
The Fort Collins Courier says that
travel from that place to the copper
mines west Of Fort Collins is steadily in
creasing. Strangers pass through al
most every day on their way to the EN-
pire district to investigate the prospects
there.
The Great North Downs Mining Com
pany, who are operating the Moyle mine
on Swede hill, in Black Hawk, have u
good showing in the north level, the
smelling ore being galena and copper
pyrites. The manager, James V. Thomas
is driving levels north and south at a
depth of 100 feet.
The Boulder Herald says that Colonel
j. j. Marks completed arrangements for
operating the Boyd mill for the treat
ment OF tellurium ores. He is putting
in Sherwood tables, and is confident that
he is going to make big saving in the
treatment Of low grade ores Of that
character. The mill was started up last
Monday.
The demand for zinc properties has
proved very beneficial to the mining in
terests OF the state, and in several Of the
older districts some good deals have been
made for mines that cannot be made
profitable with local methods. Clear
Creek, San Juan, and Lake counties
have considerable zincous ore which
runs high in zinc.
Fortunate Dalsasso, OF this city, has
taken the Etna mine, on Quartz Hill,
under lease and option, and has com.
menced work upon the same. There is
a shaft down on the property over TOO
feet, sunk number Of years ago by a
home pool, and Joseph Standby, Of Den
yer. A commodious shaft house on the
property encloses fair-sized steam
hoisting rig.

PURPOSE OF THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
The new law passed by the last legis-
lature making eight hours days work
for men employed in the underground
work of the mines and in the smelters,
will go into effect this month. The law
in itself is simple enough. 1t means
eight hours of employment in the mines
and the smelters. For the latter this
means three shifts, as the work goes on
uninterruptedly. 1t means that no man
shall be compelled to work longer than
the time required by law. The Denver
Evening Post, commenting on the law,
says: at does not say anything about
agreement between employer and en-
ploye. 1t does not prohibit man from
working overtime, for that would be un-
constitutional, nor does it prohibit him
from doing so in case OF actual necessity
where threatening danger must be met
by uninterrupted work. On small prop
critics, where but few men are at work
the law cuts no figure On such prop
critics the owners themselves participate
in the work, and they will have no
trouble in coming to an understanding
with their men as to the length of time
for days work.
"The law is aimed at companies which
employ hundreds and thousands Of men,
at the coal and the smelter trusts. The
smelters have been working their men in
two shifts of twelve hours each. Few
can work longer hours without perma-
nent injury to their health. Let the
smelter combine consider this point
when it comes to consider the new law
and the scale of wages it will offer under
it. Above all things let justice and hu-
manity guide its decisions on every
point"
