The above represents the average mum
ber of men employed during the whole
year, and does not include employees in
general offices of the corporations, min
ing and consulting engineers, United
States deputy mineral surveyors, brokers
or promoters, or those operating prop
critics, but giving their time to other
vocations.
Owing to the prospective stage of de-
velopment in some sections and spas
modic operation, absolute accuracy is
impossible, but the above results are an
average of the men employed June / and
December l, which is practically correct.
The commissioner says:
During the year there has been de-
crease in prospecting over 1897 aud an
crease in the number of properties oper-
ated. A notable feature has been the
reopening and successful operation of
many mines more or less developed that
have been abandoned for many years.
The total number of accidents in the
metallferous mines in 1898 was 300, of
which los proved fatal.
The causes of accidents were: Falls OF
earth and rock, accidental explosion of
blasting compounds, material. falling
down shaft, other shaft accidents, per-
sons falling down unprotected shafts,
wines and passes, ladder accidents, ma
chinery accidents, falls from staging.

last Saturday evening, number of the

hcndcd by Mr.. Majors, entered. Calling
Mr.. Jelinles TO one side, Mr. Majors, in
n few well chosen words, presented the

RIGHTS OF TUNNEL COMPANIES.
The late decision of the United States
supreme court in the case OF the Enter
prise Mining company VS.. Rico-Apen
Consolidated Mining company, of this
state, afiirms the right of tunnel COM
panies to locate on veins which they may
encounter, and, to certain extent, the
Colorado state law with regard to tunnel
claims is practically set aside. The fol-
lowing is quoted from the decision:
The discovery in the tunnel is like
a discovery on the surface. Until one
is made there is no right to locate a
claim in respect to the vein, and the
time to determine where and how it
shall be located arises only upon the
discovery whether such discovery may
be made in the surface or in the tunnel.
We hold therefore, that the right to a
vein discovered in a tunnel dates, by re-
lation, back to the time of the location
of the tunnel site, and also that the
right of locating the claim to vein
arises upon its discovery in a tunnel, and
may be exercised by locating that claim
the full length of 1,5o0 feet on either
side of the tunnel, or in such proportion
thereof on either side as the locator may
desire.

WATER RIGHTS
Section 2339, Revised Statutes of the
United States, says:

Section 1899, Revised Statutes of the
United States, says:
Whenever, by priority OF possession,
rights to the use of water for mining,
agricultural. manufacturing or other
purposes have vested and accrued, and
the same are recognized and acknowl-
edged by the local customs, laws and de-
cisions of courts, the possessers and
owners of such vested rights shall be

and the right of way for the construction
of bitches and canals for the purposes

Suppose" says j. I. Brayson, of To-
ronto, ''such plant was used in the
Comstock mines, for instance, where
water is carried down the pipes 1900
feet? The result would be pressure of
fifty nine pounds at the bottom. This
used in second and third compressor
could give an air pressure of 1000 pounds,
with which liquid air could be produced.
With such plant liquid air would re-
suit in bringing the Comstock once
more to the front as the greatest pro-
ducer in the world"

rcompREssEn AIR

Mines and Minerals says that at
Magog, Quebec-Canada-air is auto
matically compressed by a column OF
water flowing down a pipe in shaft.
The water is received in tank, from
which a vertical pipe descends in shaft.
The air is carried down in this vertical
pipe with the water, being drawn
through u series of small pipes at the
head and carried down in the water in
the form Of smull globules and delivered
in the compression tank ut the bottom,
the compression being produced by the
presence of the back column of water,
each 81 feet OF shaft depth producing
one pound air pressure in tho cylinder.
The water absorbs from the air the
moisture contained in it and delivers the
air, dryer than the atmosphere. and at

GOLD IN PARTIES,

The Denver Mining Reporter, com
menting about gold in pyrites, says that
about the bottom fact now known about
gold is that all original pyrites of small
texture contains gold to greater or less
extent. OF course this does not cover
such secondary large crystals pyritous
deposits derived from veins. 1t is not
known yet whether the gold in these
pyrites is in chemical combination with
the sulphido of gold, or whether each
minute particle of gold is simply covered
with coating OF sulphide OF iron, or
whether the particles of gold are in a
metallic state, but alloyed with silver or
other metal which combines more readily
with sulphur than gold does, and conse-
quently forms sulphide of silver over
the gold. The particles of gold are so
minute and the combinations follow 50
rapidly during the splitting up of these
pyrtes that the finest instruments and
tests known to chemistry have as yet
been unable to settle this part of the
question to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, which goes to show how easy it
is to put in mill that will not save the
values. If, however, proper precaution
be exercised, a plant can generally be
secured that will give satisfaction with
out incurring useless expense and dis
couragement. Considerable money is
often sunk in good mining machinery
misplaced.

SIX sEpERArE INQUIRIES.

The following contains siG separate in
quiries as to placer locations: There is
no prescribed "shape;" the individual
location cannot exceed twenty acres in
area, and the claim need only to soon
form as nearly rs practical with the
United States system of public surveys
and the subdivision OF such surveys;"
two locators can jointly locate forty
acres OF placer ground, three sixty, and
so on up to eight locating 100 acres,
which is the limit; one discovery OF min
eral is sufficient on any one twenty acres
OF the 100. The same rule as to develop.
ment, etc, apply to placer as to lode
claims. viz: Under the United States
law mot less than sl00 worth OF labor
must be performed or improvements
made thereon" until patented. Under
the provisions OF the Act Of Congress
approved January %, 1880, the first an
nual expenditure becomes due and must
be performed during the calendar year
succeeding that in which the location
was made. Expenditure or labor per.
formed prior to the first day OF January
succeeding the date of location will not
be considered as Il part OF or applied
upon the first annual expenditure re.
quired by law. A woman, married or

BAD MANAGEMENT CLOSED ITS
DOORS.

The Mining and Metallurgical journal
comments as follows: "One of Colorado's
most worthy institutions has closed its
doors. The Miners National Bureau of
Information, which has done SO much
in the advancement of the Colorado min
ing industry, is no more. The objects of
the bureau were to advance the general
prosperity of the miners and mining in
dustries, whether gold, silver, "copper"
lead, iron, stone, marble, coal, or any
other material as well as mineral oil and
other kindred interests; the investiga-
tion OF all new methods of reduction and
treatment of ores; to procure, preserve
and disseminate information in relation
thereto; to give assistance to the miner,
the prospector, and the investor, by
bringing them together and establishing
miners market, etc, but its labors are
at an end. The mining men Of Colorado
did not appreciate the faithfulness of its
work, the assistance or advantages it
gave, or the facilities it afforded, SO,
through lack of support from the very
people the bureau was formed to help, it
has succumbed. We trust that it will
be reorganized in the near future, and
receive the support it is entitled to. The
above kindly mention is duly appreci-
ated, but the scope of the work OF the
late bureau was very much abridged by
bad management. The live mining men
of the state never seemed to take hold OF
the enterprise on account of dstrust
