TRAMwAY LINES OPEN.

Manager Frederick Kruse. of the Gill
pin tramway company succeeded last
week in getting the main track and sid
ings back to the leading mines open. to
the end of the track in South Willis
gulch, Russell district. The first train
to reach the Frontenac. which has not
had car brought to the mine or taken
to the Sampling Works in Black Hawk,
for three months will now be able to re-
sumo regular shipments of ore, as the
mine is full of ore already broken, ready
to be raised to the surface. At the Sar
atoga, on Saratoga hill, the manager, Mr..
Ernest LeNeve Foster has been dong
nothing since the blockade but keeping
the water down in the pump shaft. This
property also will be shipping its accus-
toned output. The same can be said of
the Kansas Burroughs company on
Quartz hill, as well as the Gunnell and
Concrete on Gunnell hill. All these
mines which were compelled to lay off a
large number of miners, will now employ
their former quota. There are number
of producers of lesser note connected
with the tramway, that will be enabled
to get their ore to market. The manager
of the tramway does not anticipate any
further annoyance from snow drifts. He
has had enough experience in that line
the past three months.

NEwHOUSE TUNNEL.

Sunday mornings Denver News an
nounces that the Newhouse tunnel at
Idaho Springs will resume work within
a few weeks The intelligence comes
from Mr.. Newhouse, who has returned
from the east. The tunnel has already
passed through 1000 feet of ground. 1t
will be continued on through Seaton
mountain, Clear Creek county, and ex-
tend in a northerly direction to Central
City, intersecting all the mineral bearing
veins. The distance underground of the
tunnel when completed will be five miles
Mr.. Neuhouse claims that the enterprise
will be completed in much less time than
the projectors thought possible when the
ground was first broken. Mr.. Ncwhouse
is now in a financial position to complete
the tunnel which bears his name. The
tunnel will be used for transporting ores
to South Clear Creek, where large Gus
tom mines will be erected for their treat
ment, thereby greatly lessening the cost
of transportation.

saint, last Friday evening, was largely
attended, eighty couples being in the

Ever, body had n good time, the only
complaint being made was over the
supper, which was no fault OF the man

on it in 1910. The shaft, down to a
depth of oil feet with $50 feet of water
in it. Ore taken from the dump of the
mine yielded from 3 to 13 ounces gold

of miners talk of starting up the Inde-
pendent, formerly known as the White
side vein, which is in the same locality
1t is owned by City Assessor Jesse S..
Borham, of Black Hawk, and Mrs. James
Hogan, of Pueblo. Both parties have

He informs The OBSERVER that ms soon
as the snow disappears he will select
site for the proposed new smclter to be
erected for the treatment OF ore from the

where Silver Creek empties into North
Clear Creek. He confirms the statement
made last week that it would operate on
n copper basis and added that it would
also do custom work from other lodes in
that district. The new smeter will be

AMERICAN SMELLING COMPANY
DIRECTORS

Ex-Governor j. B. Grant of the Oma-
ha d. Grant Smelling company, in let
ter written from New York states that in
all probability the arrangements for the
transfer of the property of the several
smelling plants to the American smelt-
ing company will be completed this week
and that the directors of the new compa-
ny will be chosen within few days.
All of the parties to the agreement have
and until that time nothing will be
definitely known regarding the compa-
nies that will enter the combine. 1t is
not thought, however, that there will be
any material change in the list already
published.
The New York Engineering and Min
ing journal of March IL, 1899, comments
as follows regarding the new combine or
trust: The plants taken into the trusts
paid profit of about S3,OO0,OO0 last
year. The trust estimates that econo-
mics in management will enable it to
make profit of 5i.O0O,0OO during the
first year of it's existence. A profit of
S4,O00,OO0 will bring all the stock, COM
mon and preferred to more than par, be-
cause it will pay more than per cent on
all of it. In succeeding years, when the
trust get settled down to work and to
squeezing the mine owners, it expects to
be able to reap largely increased returns
and may find it desirable. in the manner
of the Standard Oil company and other
like combinations, to issue some more
"watered" stocks SO as to make its divi-
dends look smaller than they really are.
At the headquarters of the smelter
trust in New York Tuesday, March IA,
bids were received for subscriptions to
stock in the new combine. Bids of less
than Ia, which was named as the mini
mum price were not considered. This
is premium on the par value of the
stock OF ii per cent.
From all that can be learned from pub
lished accounts of the combine is that
the promoters will have rake OFF of Sll,
100000. The value of the stock is placed
at 5l5.900C00, for which was paid $780,
10000, leaving profit of 5l5,l20000.
Take this amount, and that of the pro
moters and stockholders rake-olfs,
foots up S2700O,000 leaving an equal
amount that will be unloaded on the
miner. The average miner and mining
man does not take kindly to the combine
and consider it is a gigantic swind!e from
BEGINNING to end.

MAY CLOSE DOWN.

Clarence X. Colvin, general manager
of the Cook Gold Mining company's

His company talk of closing down here
in case the pumps in the Gregory in

In that event they will remove the plant
of machinery on the Cook shaft to Grip

operations in Gilpin county.
