nENTION OF THE MINES.
What the Weeks Work HAS Developed In the
Properties Of theDu,trict

A. T. Hodges and Henry Kiniff are at
work doing an assessment on a property
at Snow Mass which will take a couple
OF weeks work yet to fini sh up. After
that they will probably be of the Lead
Cling force through the winter.
The Black Queen is stea Oily taking out
ore, which the jack train is packing to
the Hoffman smelter at Marble. One or
two men have been added to the force
and work is progressing rapidly. Coal is
being packed up also, sc the train is
loaded both ways.
A. R. Burnett and Geo. H. Tays have
begun making preparations to get work
under way on the Lead King. which it is
expected will work all through tho win
ter. after having been idle Tor a short
time. We have not learned whether
ore is to be taken out for shipment or
only development work done.
This week has been one OF active prep
aration for starting the air drills in the
Bear Mountain Tunnel. The power plant
has been carefully gone over, likewise
the fume and pipeline, to have every
thing in the best possible condition to
speedily extend the big straight tunnel
into the heart of Bear Mountain. Frank
Dempke is to run the machine drill;
Doug Kellis, blacksmith, and George
Rosetti, mucker, will constitute part of
the force.
George W. Melton has had the jack
traiu packing coal for the Crystal Noun
tain mine for week past. The train has
been packing from the mine at Placita to
the Melton ranch at Prospect, which is
30 situated az to make it q reasonably
easy round trip for the animals to cover
in a day between there and Crystal
Mountain Mine. This action on the part
OF Manager Melton indicates the purpose
Of his company to soon have work under
way in the big tunnel, which is welcome
good news to the people OF Crystal. We
understand sevnntyive tons OF coal Is the
amount to be put in at onoe.
There is one lesson which mining oper-
ators seem never to learn, and that Ii to
get in supplies during the summer season
long before the early storms can possibly
catch them. Four properties that were
to have worked through the winter have
been closed down by the first storm be
cause preparation for such probable
contingency were wholly inadequate The
present condition of the weather is at
this early date exceptional, and we may
reasonably expect two months OF fine
weather. But that does not change the
fact that properties at high attitudes
should not wait until winter weather has
come to put in supplies.

briefly introduce its readers to the differ

Smith L. Whip, candidate for county
treasurer. was elected to that Office two
years ago the only nominee for the place
and with nominations Of all four parties.
How faithfully and satisfactorily he has
discharged the duties OF the Office is now
a matter Of history and the vote Of Gun
nison county miners will again be cast
almost solidly for Mr.. Whipp.
For clerk and recorder, Thomas Sharp
is the nominee. He is working miner
whose past four years has been spent in
working the Calumet mine. one Of tho
best known properties Of the camp where
he Is located, He is at present secretary
Of the Ohio City school board, and is in
every way qualified to ill the position.
William Watson, Of Crested Butte,
nominee for sheriff, has wide acquaint-
ance over the county, having resided IN
his present home for years. In the ca
pacity OF town marshal at Crested Butte,
a position to which he was elected last
spring, he has exhibited the qualities
requisite to make a good sheriff.
Joseph c. Mckee, candidate for asses
sor, has been resident OF this county
since 1880, and most OF that time b as re.
sided on his farm at Castleton. He is 4
veteran Of the Civil War, a thrifty farmeI

Hunt efforts OF the citizens. and the
visitor is supposed to be

in the heart of the game country changes
this order by scheme which makes the
visitors furnish their own sport. Invita-
tions have been issued to all huntsmen
to meet there October 26th, 9th and
18th and engage in grand hunt for lion
bear, deer and elk. Every possible facil-
ity is being arranged, short OF having the
game rounded up in corrals, for speedy
work IN securing the denizens of the for
cot during the three days. The railroads
have made low rates for the occasion and
the bill OF prices shows the cost OF equip
ments necessary. The Crystal River
valley possesses some OF the best and
nerviest sportsmen in the state, who
should attend the lion hunt and show
those in attendance how to bring down
big game. W. F. Bailey, the genial Gen
eral Passenger Agent OF the Colorado
Midland Railway. who was among the
most active in originating the event
when it first came into being, has not
lost interest and the Colorado Midland
has named specially low rates and will
take every possible care of its patrons.
The LANCE has received handsome
hthograph from that company advertls-
ing the event. It represents beautiful

able, and more extraordinary than at the
time of the Hispano- American war, when
after thirtyfive years of profound peace

while our jingos at home found much to
criticise, the balance of the world found
more to admire. And it all came about
under the National Administration OF

New
Opportunities

Al around the world
New there are dark clouds
Opportunities of war lowering in
threatening aspect on
the canopy of fair lands. In South Afri-
ca, and in the Philippines the storm has
already broken. In the former it is the
proverbial cloud no larger than mans
hand, but rapidly gsowing larger, while
the latter is well in hand and will soon
be history. There may be other armies
marching into action ere long, but
without further wars everything points
to unusual trade conditions, which the
American commercial and manufacturing
interests will not fail to avail themselves
of. 1t will not be surprising IT America
soon controls the commerce of the entire

George G. Eaton, for county commits
sioner, is a man of both theoretical and
practical education, mining man who
has caused many thousands of dollars to
be proftably invested in our mining In

all others combined toward developing
the worth OF the Crystal district; busi
ness man familiar with the details Of our
couaty affairs, gained through interest
in its welfare, and moreover, a gentleman
of dignified bearing and pleasing address
which is a marked contrast to the vola-
tile effusiveness of some amateur politi-

all the requirements that will be made

lieve he will ever abrogate to himself an

THE NORTH ENDS CANDIDATE
What II Being SAID Of Him by the 0unnlsou
County Newspapers.

The Republican party in convention
assembled last week nominated a straight
ticket and be it said to its credit that
there was no bartering for Offices as is
common with some OF the political par
ties at the present time 1t is truo that
one Of the nominees is not a member OF
the party, but this is an educational
position and should be held aloof from
the meshes of politics; therefore the Re
publican party acted wisely in choosing
one for that office who would look after
the best interests of our public schools.
Thruout, the ticket is clean one aud
will, il elected, statd for an honest and
tho the richest undeveloped section of
Gunnison county, both in mineral, coal
and precious stones hes north OF the
great Elk range of mountains. not a
single county officer has had the honor
of serving the people as representative
of it, political parties seemingly taking
the view that it was too isolated to de-
serve recognition. The Crystal river
country has an opportunity this year to
get a county commissioner, an Office
which is more important to them than
all the others combined, because OF their
mountainous roads and consequent diff
Guilty in keeping them in repair. Geo. G.
Eaton will have the support OF this paper
for that office, first, because he is emi-
nently qualified to hold 1t, and second,
for the reason that he is undoubt edly the
strodgest man in the field. Mr.. Eaton Is
a mining man and has been oper atiug at
CRYSTAL for long time. He is che pro-
moter OF the Sheep Mountain, Bear
Mountain and Inez Mining companies,
which have expended large sums of
money developing silver properties. He
is interested in these undertakings and
is therefore heavy taxpayer He is
also the owner of big supply store at
Crystal where prices are as reasonable as
at any store in the county. Mr.. Eaton is
a good business man, stands we'll in the
community from which he halls and will
make u county commissioner the people
will justly be proud of.-Gunnison 1ri-
