Secretary Arthur Williams of the cham
ber OF commerce is in receipt of an inter
esting an valuable statistical table, the
figures of which have been worked out

Colorado's metal and coal output and a
comparison with the total product of the
United States. According to Mr.. Don
aldson's figures Colorados gold output
is 3S per cent of the total of the United
States; silver 40 per cent, lead % per
copper 3 per cent, coal per cent, iron A
per cent. The dividends paid by Colo
RADIOS listed gold; silver, copper and lead
mines are At per cent of the dividends

WHEN TRIAL FINDINGS WILL NOT
DE DISTURBED

The supreme court of South Dakota
has handed down the following decision
in the case of Reagan VS.. McKlbbon: "a
party and three others were, in 1895,
owners in common of mining claim
After such party had conveyed his IN
terest to another he discovered that the
claim was too wide, having small frac,
ton on one side not located ,and brought
the fact to the attention of the others,
who instructed him to locate it, which
he did. Nothing was said about locating
it in trust for the company. He divided
the boundaries of the fraction by stakes,
and he and laborer did some work on
it, and one of the Others also did some
work. In 1896 the fraction became very
valuable. On trial the evidence was
conflicting as to who had sunk the dis
covery shaft. The court on appeal, held
that finding on trial that the first party
located the fraction for himself would
not be disturbed"

years has lain dormant. The Gazette
adds that it is gratifying to note the diff
ferent old properties in the camp that
are being started up this season. 1t GER
teinly denotes season OF prosperity for
Idaho Springs.
The State Ore Sampling Works of
Black Hawk are paying the following
prices for ore: Ores containing 8 per
cent copper and under, Sl,50 for each
per cent or unit; over 5 per cent and un-
der 20, S1.75 for each per cent; and ores
carrying 10 per cent and over, 50 for
each per cent. The new schedule shows
large increase, fully 100 per cent over
former rates. 1t is good thing for mine
owners whose ores carry high percent
age of copper.

HE MAY BE DEPENDED UPON.
The Mining and Engineering Review
and Electrician OF San Francisco takes
religious view OF the situation in Cali
fornia in the following, taken from that
journal:
The Almighty may always be depend
ed upon to do the right thing at the right
time. Some times it requires a great
deal of faith and patience to anchor and
keep that belief from drifting, but miners
carry both as their prime stock in trade.
They are accustomed to work and trust
in either Providence or luck, so through
all the dry season, when the stamps were
hung up in almost every mill in Califor-
MIA, and the hydraulic and placer mines
were forced to suspend operations, the
miners of the state were not hopeless nor
idle. During that long drought, develop
ment work continued and was prosecut.
ed vigorously, bitches and fumes were
repaired, great bodies of orc were blocked
out, machinery was installed, and when
the hoodgates of heaven were opened, all
were in readiness for a lively season in
mining. The hum of the mills is heard
in the mountains, and, better than all,
there is snow enough piled up in natures
reservoir TO insure water enough for
another season. The quartz, hydraulic
and placer miners and the farmers OF the
state are happy and everything points to
a prosperous period for California. The
abiding faith OF the miners in that Power
which doeth all things well, has been
iustified

worth the sum stated in the affidavit.
United States laws in relation to mining
claims are the most liberal, generous and
open of any nation on earth, and why
anyone having claim would rather
swear falsely than to perform the little
work upon the claim as required by law
is conundrum past understanding.
Especially is this true when the work to
be expended upon the claim inures to
the owners benefits not tax paid to
the government, but goes toward develop
ment of the claim, and increasing its
value to the owner. The California de-
cisions are right, just and unassailable,
and establish precedent which should
be applied in all cases of similar charac-
ter"
SHELTERS SHORT OF FUEL AND ORE
The Omaha and Grant Smelling works
in Denver, although starting in with
over 1000 tons of coke on hand when the
blockade closed things up, says the
Times, and having since purchased 100
tons in the east, finds itself short and
about out of fuel. The chances are that
within two or three days the fires in the
furnaces will have to be drawn and the
men laid of.
While this company are supposed to
receive ninety tons of coke day, since
the first of February it has received just
thirty-six tons. Also the supply OF ore
is running short. There are over 1900
tons already paid for which have been
tied up between Aspen and Denver for
weeks. Seven hundred tons are on the
road somewhere between Denver and
Wallace, Idaho. Most of the ore for
these smelters comes over the Denver &;
Rio Grande and Midland railroads from
the west, and not car has been de-
livered this month.
