RESUMED SINKING.

Mr.. Dalton, manager OF the Rialto
mine, property of the Ridgewood Gold
Mining company, this city, has resumed
sinking in the main shaft on that prop
erty. Work in other portions of the
mine has been suspended pending the
sinking of the shaft. The 3OO-foot east
level designed to connect with the 800
foot level OF the Freedom NINE (easterly
portion of the Rialto) is expected to make
connection shortly. The report in circu-

the property is without foundation, SO

EFFECTS OF AN INJUNCTION.

EFFECTS OF AN INJUNCTION.
The Cook Gold Mining company on
Thursday of last week laid off 105 en-
ployes at their Cook mine on Bobtail hill.
The OBSERVER is informed from COM
pany headquarters that the primary
cause OF such action on the part OF the
management was the obtaining of an in
junction from the district court by the
Big Hatchet Consolidated Mining com
pany. owning the Washington lode min
ing claim west of and adjoining the
Cook property. On Tuesday, January 2,
the same company received from the
court a permit to make an upraise from
the Washington and make connection
with the Cook vein. In other words
prove up their property. The order or
permit of the curt reads as follows:
STATE OF COLORADO,
County of Gilpin. 3d.
The Big Hatchet Consolidated Mining
Company VS.. Clarence X. Colvin ct al.
The plaintiffs and defendants appear
ing by their attorneys.
1t is ordered that plaintiffs be permit
ted to make certain upraise from the
top OF the stope at or near the westerly
end Of the tunnel, upper adit or main
level, and at point about $50 feet west
of the Washington shaft, work to be
done through the Washington shaft,
with the right to remove any and all
Instructions in said shaft and tunnels or
levels, with the right to ingress and
egress for workmen and material in and
through the said " ashington shaft only
All rock, mineral, timbers or debris to be
raised out through the Washington shaft
as fast as possible. By the Court,
A. FL. DEFRANCE, Judge.
Dated January 2. 1900.
The company will not resume active
mining again for two months. They ex-
pect to bring the injunction suit to an
end as quickly as the court will permit
1t is to be hoped that the injunction will
be dissolved in an equitable manner to
both parties. 1t is matter which not
only concerns the miners thrown out OF
employment, but to business, as the sus-
pension of work at the Cook property
means Il withdrawal of at least $4,000
per month from the channels of bust
ness.

to the stand to testify as to the kind of

the common practice to use rods of iron

GRUBsTAKEs DON'T GO,

Judge johnson, OF the Arapahoe coun-
ty district court, in Denver, January 3
gave finding in favor Of II. G. Mum,
who was sued by Joseph II. Shoemaker
for twelfth interest in the Longfellow
mine, in Boulder county. Shoemaker
claimed he grubstaked Mum. but that
the latter squeezed him out after he had
struck good thing. The court re.
marked that the grubstake agreement
was not sufficiently definite to warrant a
specific enforcement. Should the court
enforce such contracts, interminable liti-
CATION would ensue. The Longfellow is
reputed TO be worth 100000.

THE EAST NOTAwAY.

1t is the intention of William Mitchell,
now that his term of Office has expired
as sheriff, to devote his whole atten-
tion to the opening up more thoroughly
and economically the East Nottaway
mine, in Lake district One good fea-
ture about the lease and option on the
property is that it is now in his hands,
and he will be free to act as he deems
best in it's future development. He has
in view the erection of new shaft build
ing and the installing of suitable plant
of machinery, two things that have been
for long time badly needed. With Mr..
Mitchelrs long experience in mining in
this and Clear Creek county it is safe to
predict that the East Notaway will,
under his personal management, prove
one of the steady gold producers of Gill
pin county. The ore is Of very high
grade, some of which contains sylvanite
running up into the hundred ounces per
ton.

Cariously enough, this ter- ritory is Hot a desert, not Fort Yuma not even the Arizona plains, although a poet well described them by declar- ing that the lost spirits, wandering from their informal abode, stood on the bor- ders of that region, with eyes blinded by the suns reflected glare, then in terror hurried back to their sulphurous lekes-te avoid the heat No. the hot- test place in the world is, with all re- sFaet to ocean summer resorts, on the seashofe. The region of maximum temperature is an extensive area on tee Persian gulf, ! part of the south western coast Of Persia This territory Includes the Bahretn or Aval islands. June, July and August are terrific, un- endurable save 10 the natives, and hid- eous to them. Day after day the mer- cury will mark more than loo degrees in the shade. By day here I mean the diurnal twenty-four hours. Think of it, you who look with fearful eyes on the thermometer that registers 100a de- grees at noontime. Imagine the horror of striking a match at midnight and reading no degrees. It hardly seems possible. yet it is officially declared that this frightful heat is not excess sive-in that country Often 40 de- grees in the shade is attained in the afternoon. The islands are a little group, named after the largest-Bah- rein. They lie between latitude 25 de- grees 30 minutes and 26 degrees 30 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees and 50 degrees 30 minutes east. Bah- rein itself is about twenty-seyen miles long and ten miles broad. The popu- lation of the group is 75.000.
