At last, the outbreak Of the war fur

an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would never accept and, on his
refusal, withdrew his promise. In this
way he had a semblance Of justice on
his side, and Roland's refusal was de-

RESUMED WORK,

b. B. Gilbert, OF Denver, has resumed
work on his Clifford group of veins on
Clifford mountain, In York district, west
of Nevadavilie. The Clifford was worked
some fifteen years ago quite extensively,
the ore taken out being concentrated at
the mine. 1t carries galena, silver and a
high percentage OF copper. 1t is under
stood that the Chicago owner of the
Maple Leaf mine, situated dear the
Clifford group, will also resume work,
the ore carrying copper values of high
grade. The latter was discovered by
Jerry Quigley, who sold it to Mr.. Thomp-
son, Of Chicago. 1t is well developed.

RICH STAMP MILL

And Smelling Ore Struck in the East
whiting Mine ON Gunnell Hill.
Some weeks ago mention was made in
The OBSERVER of the fact that there
was marked improvement in the ore
being taken out OF the East Whiting
mine on Gunnell hill. A few days ago
Mr.. F. Il. Clark informed a representa-
tive OF The OBSERVER that the crevice
matter in the 300-foot west and 200 foot
east levels had opened out into from six
to twelve feet OF stamp mill ore which
carries smelling ore which nets S214 per
ton. The stamp mill ore, treated at the
Cashier stamp mill above Black Hawk,
yields from to IA ounces gold per cord,
the concentrates netting at the smelters
in Denver $3.50 per ton. There is no
question of doubt that the ore chute
from which the ore is being taken is the
same as the one from which so large a
sum Of money was taken out by Dan
Baldwin and John Bitter when they
were working the West Whiting before
it was sold to the late John V. Kimber
and William Fullerton. At all events
the trend or dip of the ore chute is to
the west. In the east 200 foot level the
ore shows up splendidly at a point about
about 100 feet west of the junction OF
the Butler lode.
Mr. Sam w. Miller, OF Chicago, who
now owns the East Whiting is treating
40 tons Of stamp mill ore in the above
mentioned mill, the stamps Of which are
OF the rapid drop pattern and are run at
the rate Of 100 drops per minute, ten
stamps being employed. Mr.. Miller has
ir contemplation the placement OF a
larger plant Of machinery on the surface
and the adding Of other surface and un-
derground improvements which will
lessen the cost Of mining, hoisting and
handling Of the ore. He is to be con-
graduated on having opened up a
bonanza.
