the working Of the telegraph key and
read messages by sound, but ARE shrewd
enough to do thousand things in the
way of repairing and emergency work
which may DO called for when no ont.

These men understand splicing wire
and cable in any condition and amid
any surroundings. They are of trained
ingenuity in running down and locating

very first Importance to send a message
to the other side Of the enemy's country
without actually passing through it.
The American civil war saw the
greatest development of the military
telegraph and gave to the world the ex.
ample of its first systematic use. This
was to have been foretold from knowl.
edge of the inventive and time saving
character of the nation. With us the
extension OF the silent and wonderful
wires first assumed gigantic proper.

One OF the least of the things 1t did
was to save the capital of Washington
time and again. In 1869 all Federal
headquarters were connected by wire
with Fort Monroe, and the farthest
stations Of this system were Just outside
Of the Confederate zone of fire. From
April 20 to Nov 10, 1861, I,l37 miles
,f military telegraph was built. There |
were 100 offices and 1863 operators
During the war the construction reached
10, $3.50 miles and $500, 900 messages

These lines were composed of insu.

Which was attached to the back Of a

field telegraph station moved up with
the field headquarters, and at times the
men at the key clicked off messages
while shells from the enemy's batteries
snarled overhead. Such are some of the
results of the improvements which have
been made in army telegraphing.

We have at the head of our signal
corps in General Greedy an officer
whose tastes are all in line with his
professional speciality. Nothing delights
him more than to experiment and in
vent new methods in electrical field
work. In his report for 1894 he drew
attention to the increasing value of the
telephone in warfare, with special ref
erence to the war between China and
Japan, which was then under way. All
late wars, he said, indicate that cleo
trical connections are indispensable to
the success of any army operating ON a
base apart from the general telegraphic
system.

The gold bullion receipts at the Den.
yer branch mint for the first seven
months of 1899 aggregate s11, 1,1O7, ,941 .s9,
only S5S7 ,4S7.90 more than was received
during the same period in 1897, at which
time the aggregate receipts were s10,620,-
953.99. Should the smelters remain
closed the states output of gold will be
much smaller than in the preceding
year. The principal contributors for the
past seven months were the chlorination
works at Florence and Colorado City
the stamp mills of Gilpin county and
San Juan section. Before the smelters
closed down there was falling off in the
receipt of gold as compared with last
year during the same period

No effort up to last evening had been
made by the smelter owners in Denver
to resume work, and no effort has been
made to kindle the fires under the fur
naces. Crowds of strikers visit the Globe
and Omaha smelters to intercept any
men who might seek work. 1t. is re-.

Procunier mines. He has driven cross.

not yet passed through the mineralized

on the Stewart dump which will be
treated under stamps.
An analysis Of piece of ore from the
Lombard mine of DR.. Abe Ashbaugh, on
the divide between the head of Little
Hamlin and Gleason gulches, west OF
this city, recently made, shows it to con-
tain gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and
hematite of iron, having commercial
value Of Sl27.S6 per ton. The doctor has
a large body of this ore opened up in the
workings of the mine. With a concen-
tration mill near to the mine it would
prove valuable property.

STAMP MILLS,

During the month Of July just closed
the number of stamps that have been
employed continuously in Black Hawk,
Perigo and Gilpin foots up $50 At
Nevadaville no mills have been running,
owing to the scarcity of the water sup.
ply This exceeds the number employed
last month 10 stamps. The increase is
due to the starting up of mills north Of
the county seat. The mills in the Quartz
Mill city all seem to have their &C.
customary quota of custom ore. With
the recently reorganized Gunnell Gold
Mining and Milling company in full
operation at the Gunnell, West Whiting
and other veins owned by them on Gun.
nell hill, the number Of stamps employed
will be larger, as this corporation will be
enabled to employ their three mills
which an aggregate number OF stamps
footing up total Of lib. A large pro-
portion Of these stamps are now engaged
in running on custom ore, which will
naturally be sent to other stamp mills
when the new Gunnell company get to
operating all their mines again.

ten inches Of this quartz carrying values

In conversation with Hugh Butler, OF
Denver, who represents the Bassick Gold
Mining company in Custer county, while
here few days ago, the information was
elected that the prospects are good for a
resumption Of work. The water in the
old shaft is being pumped out as fast as
possible. No sinking is to be done in
the old shaft. After the water is out a
new shaft will be sunk to the depth OF
the old one. II the shaft were sunk with
out withdrawing the water it would
probably food out the new shaft. AS
soon as the new shaft attains the depth
OF the old one work will be inaugurated
on an extended scale to develop the
property. w. II. Paul, formerly Of the

Electric storm PLAYS Havoc.

From Prof. c. E. Linderman, OF the
Stewart mine, Hawkeye district, who
was in the city yesterday, the informa-
tion is derived that an electric storm was
experienced at the mine on Wednesday,
July %. The professor was at the bot
tom Of the shaft at the time, the bolt Of
electricity following from surface pipe
column attached to the steam pump,
which dazed the Professor causing him
to think that several tons OF rock had
struck him on the top Of the head. Two
miners working above the bottom Of the
shaft were also badly shocked, from
which they did not recover for several
hours. 1t also dazed the brakeman on
surface. His wife, who is visiting him
from Denver, was on surface at the
time, and promptly closed down the
steam leading into the pump column.
Finding that the pump would not work
the Professor, although trembling, made
the ascent OF the ladder to the surface,
where he ascertained the cause OF the
trouble. 1t was fortunate escape from
death to him and the miners.
