Letter from Pine Grove.

Letter from zine Ur0ye-
DEAR OH BuLLETIN:-It is the
general verdict Of all old settlers
that we are having the finest win
ter ever known in these mountains.
As the ladies say about a new
spring hat, at is just too lovely
for anything" The snow is about
foot deep in the valley but the
south side hills are bare in many
places and vegetation is growing,
which makes it look very much like
spring.
The open winter has been very
beneficial to prospectors and a
great deal of work has been done
on different claims in this vicinity.
Fred Shelton and " alsh have been
doing considerable work on the
Mountain View mine and have
taken out lot of rich ore. Jim
and Charley Winters have been
sinking on the Blue Jacket and
have several tons of ore sacked,
some of which will mill as high as
$500 per ton. 'ule Hanique and
Joe Kent are running a tunnel on
the Delaware mine, they are in so
feet and expect to cut the ledge in
about 20 feet farther. This will
tap it a depth of about 100 feet, and
by indications on the surface they
expect to find a large body of ore.
Jim Clark is developing the Moon
Shine claim and expects to strike
it rich when he cuts the ledge with
the tunnel he is now running
Charley Canon is doing develope-
ment work on the Gulch mine and
expects to take out ore enough to
keep his quartz mill running all
next summer. Charley Mcintyre,
Wray Ethel and your correspond
ent have struck the ledge with
osoascut tunnel on the Live Yankee
claim and found a fine body of high |
grade ore in which gold can be
plainly seen. The ore seam varies
from 10 to 10 inches in width. At
this point station has been cut
out in the mountain and securely |
timbesed. An Armstrong hosting
engine is already on the ground |
and tomorrow work will be com
menced sinking winze on the
ledge.
The Pennsylvania placer compa-
ny will undoubtedly do big bust
ness here so soon as the snow is
gone. They will probably employ
at least 100 men.
The mining outlook for Pine
Grove certainly was never better
than at the present time. SO we
don't care whether Mckinley sends
us his long promised wave of pros
perity or not-but Mac. amt to
blame for being a little slow; for
he has too much trouble of his own
to be so deeply interested in the
dear workingman as he was little
more than three years ago. l have |
heard that his friend John, who
lives just across the pond, got to
monkeying around where he had |
no business and run into a Beers |
nest down in south Africa and |
kicked up quite a disturbance. He
then sent a man down there by the
name of Butler to quite the racket
but instead of doing so he COM
mencedsexploring the Tugela river
and has made SO many brilliant
dashes across it and then dashed
back again that he knows every
ford from one end of the stream to
the other, and still the racket is not
quoted yet and | hope it never
will be until John Bull gets the
worst licking that can ever be re-
corded in the pages of history.

About Advertising.

If you have a commodity to sell
the best way to acquaint people
with the fact is through the col
umns of the local paper. OF
course there are other means of
advertising than the newspaper,
but none is as good, and none is
SO cheap when the number of
people reached by this method is
considered. The best advertis-
ers, the up-to-date business men
men who succeed where others
fail-have long since discarded
the circular method of advertising,
and now use almost exclusively
the newspapers. These are the
men who have made a thorough
study of advertising methods and
their opinions are certainly de-
serving of consideration.
Nearly every week we receive
information of the direct benefit
which some one Of our advertis-
ers has received from his adver-
tisement. Two weeks ago we
spoke in local notice of the pur-
chase of a fine stallion which had
been made by Hall & Frederick
of this place. Since the appear
ance of that notice Mr.. Hall in
forms us that he has had q large
number of inquiries in reference
to his horse. AS result OF this
advertisement the fact that there
is such horse in this vicinity is
we'll known and the advertiser
will reap tho benefit. This is
only one case in many which
might be mentioned, the state
ment of which should prove be-
yond quibble that it pays to ad-
vertise in the Grit Advocate.

The state of Kansas will seek
to obtain in the United States
supreme court an injunction
against the state of Colorado to
prevent the latter from using any
more of the water of the Arkan-
sas river for irrigation purposes.
Should Kansas be successful no
more irrigating canals will be
built along the Arkansas river in
Colorado, and many of those now
in use would have to be abandon
ed in few years.
The Grit-advocate., 1900-05-04

Last Saturday a number of
local horsemen laid out a race
track south of the Iddings lumber
yard. The work of constructing
the track will commence as
soon as the ground has become
sufficiently dry to work we'll.
This is an enterprise which should
have the sanction and financial
backing of every citizen of Jules
burg. If properly supported it
will result in the holding OF a race
meeting this fall, thing that will
advertise the town and will bene-
fit every citizen. A good start
has been made; let everybody
push.

The people of Ireland generally
feel very friendly towards Queen
Victoria for her recent visit to
that country; they are also fiat
tered by the tendency of English
people to ape everything Irish,
but their goodwill will be of
short duration unless the English
government shows a disposition
to grant some concessions to the
Irish popular demands. In short
the Irish will swallow a certain
amount of taffy, but they must
have some substantial food along
with the sweets.

The Grit-advocate., 1900-05-04
Leasing the Public Lands.

We have at last arrived at the con-
clusion, after reading both sides OF the
question as to the advisability of the
leasing Of the public lands, that it
would be great mistake and we have
been greatly assisted in this decision
by the actions of the large cat
tie companies. They seem to feel sure
of the passage of a bill OF this kind aud
are making preparations accordingly.
Nearly every paper we pick up lately
contains an account of the sale by the
different railroad companies of 10000
acres to one live stock company, $4,000
to another, and sometimes 100000 to
Others. We know of cases where
these companies have bought these
lands in pastures of their smaller
neighbors who have been occupying
these lands together with other public
lands for years, in fact before these
companies were in existence.
The actions of the managers of these
companies indicate that they have
secret information as to what the
measures of this bill will be and are
getting in shape when it comes in
force to sweep down on the smaller
stock man and put him out in the first
round, and so cripple him that they
can finish him when and as they please
Instead of bill of this kind doing
away with and preventing trouble be-
tween stock men it will be the cause
OF great deal more, for the larger
cattle owners feeling they have the
law on their side will not hesitate as
they do now to get possession of these
lands wherever possible and at any
cost. 1t is quite noticeable also that
the strongest advocates Of the leasing
of the public lands are those interest
ed in the companies, and the larger
the company the stronger the advo-
cate.
If the leasing proposition fails to 20
through these companies will have
themselves to blame to grert extent,
for in their eagerness to get hold of
these lands they have exposed their
intentions and now that the smaller
man sees what is in store for him his
duty is to do all possible to hold omen
the public lands and fight any other
suggestion to a finish.
The Grit-advocate., 1900-05-04

More rain fell in Colorado dur
ing the month of April than dur
ing all of last year. Tho precipi-
tation for the month was about
eight inches. When it is consid-
cred that the normal amount for
April is only about two inches it
will be readily seen how great
the excess of moisture has been
this season.

The farmers of Kansas have
formed a gigantic trust or combi-
nation for the purpose of regu-
lating the prices of their products.
The farmers have so long been
the victims of trusts that they

sed.
