idea is in every way commendable and
worthy of practical observance.
The litigation between James w. Clark
and Edward Eddy over the Comstock
lode situated on the south side of Vir-
ginia canon, in Idaho district, has
been decided by Judge Butler of the
Arapahoe county district court. Eddy
claimed the mine under a tax deed. By
order of Judge Butler the tax deed is
to operate as deed of trust on the
property.
1t is quite probable that the Golden
Flint group of mines situated on the
divide between Gamble and Lump
gulches, north OF this city, will be leased
and bonded if liberal lease can be OBJ
tained. The property is owned by
McFarlane & Co. and Mrs. William
Nicholson of Denver. There are four
well defined veins in the group. They
are patented veins.
In sinking the present lift of 100 feet
in the National mine shaft, the easterly

contractors will complete their contract
early in November next, when the su-

sent to the smelters as yet, although
there is quite an amount of this quality
of ore on hand.

TWO MEN
SUFFOCATED
Early Morning Fire in the Colorado
House Causes the Death of
of Two Men.
Joseph Wclch and Gus Steva, Two Old
Men, Bre Sufiocated by Smoke
While Asleep.

Mrs. Lida Keene, proprietor, of the
Colorado House on Main street Black
Hawk, was awakened at LIS o'clock
Tuesday morning while in her bedroom
on the first floor of that hostelry, by the
fumes of smoke. She Immediately
awakened her husband. On opening
the bedroom door leading into the office
of the house, which was full of smoke, a
bright light was seen at the head of the
stairway. An alarm of fire was given at
once to awaken the boarders occupying
rooms on the second floor Mr.. Keene
and another party secured ladder and
placed to one of the windows by which
means several escaped, as the fire at the
head of the stairway had cut off all
egress from the building by that means.
Two men named Joseph Welch and Gus
Steva, who occupied room near the
head of the stairway. The alarm of fire
was responded to quickly by the fire de-
partment, where upon reaching the
scene of the fire soon had the streams of
water playing into the building to pre-
vent the spread of the flames, which
we're finally quenched, not however
before the ceilings and sides of the upper
rooms had received thorough scorch-
ing. The firemen shortly after getting
the streams Of water playing on the
flames reached the room occupied by
Welch and Steva, both of whom were
dead, produced by sutfocation from the
dense smoke that prevailed. Coroner
Richmond was summoned, who ordered
the remains of the dead men taken to
the undertaking establishment. After
an examination into the cause of
their death and the room in which their
bodies were found, he did not deem it nee
essary to hold an inquest. The origin OF
the fire is unknown, although rumors
we're rife Of the origin but nothing of a
tangiable character could be elected.
Mrs. Keene's loss is placed, at over
81 900 upon which there was insurance
of $500. The building, which is owned
by Christopher Murphy, who is now at
Steamboat Springs, Routt county, was
not insured. The family of Mr.. Murphy
who occupies the dwelling just above
and adjoining the Colorado House, lost
a good deal by the apartments being
flooded with water.
Joseph Welch had resided in Gilpin
countysince 1862, and for the past thirty
years has been engaged in placer mining
on North Cleer creek, below this city.
Nothing is known OF any OF his relatives,
only that they reside in Missouri Welch
was man about 81 years OF age and un
married.
Gus Steva, was in his list year. He
owns ranch near the foothills, upon
which he resided. He was native of
Hanover, where it is said,he has son
residing. Mr.. Koch, who has ranch on
Smith Hill is cousin.
The remains Of the two unfortunate
men were buried yesterday afternoon in
the Black Hawk cemetery.
A peculiar feature OF the death of
Welch and Steva, the men who met
death in the fire, is that neither the
beard or hair OF either was scorched,
which is evidence sufficient that death
was produced by suifocation. One OF
the bodies was found under the bed
while the other, Steva, had placed a
comforter over his head.

METALLURGICAL I,
pUSTHY,

The American Smelling and Refining
company furnishes the Engineering and
Mining Journal the following items
showing the scale on which it's business
is carried on. The first fiscal year of the
company was not a full working year;
nevertheless the quantity of ores smelt
ed at its various plants was, in round
figures, 100000 tons; the fuel used was
100000 tons, and the flux 100000 tons
The bullion refined was 10000 tons, so
that the total smelling charges amount
ed to 2663,0O0 tons.
The output of the refneries for the
year was 100000 ounces gold, 4O,5OO,OOO
ounces silver. and 100000 tons lead.
The total value of these products was
S6i,000O00, of which thegold constituted
nearly S25,O00,O00. The value of the re-
fined products was about 100000 more
than the output of the same plants in
the preceding year. The average value
of the ores smelted was about 5i3 per
ton, and the profit realized by the com
pany was only about 50 per ton smell, ed
and refined. For the single item cf
wages the company paid out 100000
at its different plants.
Commenting on the business of tile
company, the Engineering and Mining
Journal says it is evident that the
American Smelling and Refining com-
pany has thus far followed in its bust
ness the course outlined for it when the
consolidation of the various plants was
completed, 1t has sought by moderate
charges to encourage the production OF
ores, while assuring its own position and
profits by working as economically as
possible and on larger scale. The
result thus far has evidently been salts
faclorY.
