LAHOI. DAN

Labor Day was appropriately observed
in this city, many of the merchants
keeping their business places closed
throughout the day, while others closed
at noon. The principal features in the
city was the ball game between nine
from Central City camp No. 505 Wood
men of the World, and nine from Cen
trail City Lodge No. 557 Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks, at City park in
the afternoon. The Woodmen nine
showed their superiority by scoring 30
to the Elks 8.
The ball at Armory hall in the evening
was attended by about seventy couples
and proved an enjoyable affair
Central City Lodge No. 16, Ancient
Order United Workmen gave their an
nual picnic and outing at Missouri
Lakes which formed the closing one
of the picnic season. Although there
had been other picnics held on the same
ground Last tmonth, it did pot lessen the
attendance on the Labor Day picnic, as
conveyances were passing through the
streets from I O'Clock on up to II o'clock
tn. In fact there were not enough con-
veyances at hand to carry all who
wished to attend, many becoming tired.
and, failing to secure livery rigs, re
turned home. The exercises at the lakes
consisted Of athletic sports, which were
kept up until nearly p. m. The ladies
OF the Degree of Honor, like Rebekah at
the Well, were ON hand serving refresh
ments to those who had not provided
themselves with lunch baskets.
A number of miners and others left
the proceeding day for Eldora, Boulder
county, to take in the Labor Day sxer.
| cses, while others went to Lawson
Clear Creek county, where appropriate
exercises were held in aid OF the fund OF
the school district. All in all the day
passed off pleasantly, no accidents oc-
curing to mar the enjoyment OF the day.

RECEIVER MAKES MS REPORT.

Frederick Dick, receiver of the Aspen
Smelling and Mining company, at Aspen,
Pitkin county, has submitted report to
the district court in relation to the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the company
during his receivership, which began in
February last on complaint of Kyle
Rucker, one of the stockholders of the
company.
The Rocky Mountain News says the
report shows receipts of S27,9lS.3l and
expenditures of S27 7,50S92. The com
pany's mines were once famous produc.
ers, yielding millions of dollars, and it is
said they are still productive.
The receivership grew out of charges
that the officers of the company and the
majority of the stockholders were ruin
ing the company financially 50 that Il
co'ere might obtain possession of the
valuable mines. Fraud was charged and
considerable excitement attended the in
stallation OF the receiver, there being a
sort of race between his advocates and
those who opposed him as to who should
have prior possession.

ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATE LoCA-
TON

The general statutes of the United
States allows the filing of an additional
certificate of location of mining claim
where the locator apprehends that his
original certificate is defective, or he de
sires to change his surface boundaries,
or take part of an abandoned claim. In
the case OF Duncan VS.. Fulton, the court
held that where an original certificate
sufficiently located a discovery shaft and
an additional certificate gave descrip-
ton OF metes and bounds starting with
the discovery shaft and running to posts
and in mound of stone, the claim could
be identified with certainty from both
certificates taken together; hence such
certificates were admissible to establish
the locators claim, though neither taken
alone, sufficiently described such cluims.

RICH ORE.

Another rich strike has been made in
old Gilpin county the past week. Thos.
Dunstone manager of the Running Lode
mine reports that last week while driv-
ing the 9th and 7th levels fine body of
ore was struck. Five tons of ore from
the 7th level west shipped to Chamber
lain's sampling works gave returns of
S1l4 to the ton, and s tons from the 9Th
level run S2i6 to the ton. The streak in
the 7th level is 10 inches wide. The mill
ore pays the expenses of the mine, leav-
ing the concentrates and smelling ore as
profit. This lie the richest ore ever taken
from this property, The mine is owned
by the Cover Mine Syndicate of Lon
don, England.

MINISG CLAIM LOCATED ACROSS A


In the case of the Empire Milling and
Mining company VS.. the Tombstone Mill
and Mining company, the federal court
held that under the rule that where a
lode mining claim is loccted across, in
stead of along the vein, the original side
lines become end lines and the end lines
side lines. the owner is entitled to all the
rights with reference to the new side
lines that he owned have had if they had
originally been located as such, includ-
ing the right to follow the dip of a vein
through its apex within the surface
boundaries of his claim beyond the verti-
cal plane through such lines.

settlement. During the discussion that
followed in the company's office one of
the members of the firm picked up a
paper weight and let it fly at the miner,
cutting his head open. The flow of blood
was succeeded by a flow of temper on
the part of the miner and he sailed into
that mining company, whipped every
man about the establishment, wrecked
the furniture and then left with the
threat to have the whole outfit arrested
and prosecuted. The firm, it seems, has
some pride in their reputation, and rath,
.er than submit to disgraceful investi-
CATION, they called the miner back, paid
him in full all they owed him, and gave
him bonus of $tS0 if he would drop
the matter.

TExADA GOLFER PROSPECTS.
Carl KIeinschmidt Pleased With the
Geological Conditions.

CArl Kleinschmidt, consulting mining en-
gineer, who is interested In Texada island
properties. has returned to Seattle after a
two weeks stay, most of the time having
been spent at Texada. Mr.. Kleinschmidt
is partner with Mr.. J. A. Christie In the
ownership OF the Georgia smelter group
OF eight claims on Texada. He Is also as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Christie in the owner
ship OF large tracts of copper lands at
White Horse and Five Fingers. and in
some hydraulic properties near Dawson.
Last fall. while north on business con-
nected with those interests. Mr.. Klein
schmidt examined the formation on Tex
ada island closely and bought the claims
at once
Mr.. Kieinschmidt says the formation of
Texada Is perfect for copper prospects.
His long experience with copper proposi-
lions make his testimony and opinion val
liable, and as far as the Georgia Smelter
| grcsp In concerned In development work
that has gone on steadily since the prop
erty was purchased last fall, his Judgment
has been borne out to the last detail
Considerable work has been done on the
claims and force of men are steadily
employed The property shows two per-
feet lodges lying In porphyry and diorite,
crosscut occasionally by trap bikes. The
forsnatfon Is perfect for copper the facili-
ties are splendid. the property lying but
one mile from the waters. there is timber
In abundance, and the water rights have
been secured. 1t is the intention of tho
owners to build sawmill and a concen-
traitor in the immediate future. A wharf
viii also be built and tramway for bring
Ing the ores down from the mine.

property. MIR. kleinschmidt said the vein
had been opened for more than 100 feet on
the surface. showing the main ledge TWEEN

has gone down shows perfect walls, and
the character OF the vein matter is we'll

There is no stock of the company on the
