NEW COURT HOUSE AccEprED.
Lamont Ballard Formally Turn Over
the Court Houfe to the Board Of
County Commissioners.

Tuesday of this week the county com.
missioners met and visited the new court
house. Together with Lamont & Bal.
lard the contractors, they inspected the
building, and finding 1t finished accord.
ing to contract accepted the building
from the contractors. The contract price
was S27, ,162, and it will take about $500
more to furnish it. During the afternoon
the district clerk and sheriff moved into
their new offices, and by the first of the
month the remaining officers will have
moved into their new quarters. Next
week The OBSERVER will give a descrip.
tive article of the court house in connec-
ton with the write up of the dedication
ball which occurs this evening.
Tuesday evening Mr.. G. E. Jenkins of
the Gilpin Light, Heat and Power Co. in
the presence of Oh 'rman N. d. Owen of
the board of the county commissioners
and representative OF The OBSERVER,
tested the electric lights throughout the
building. 1t was beautiful sight as the
lights were turned on, and great credit is
due Messrs. Owen and Jenkins for their
taste in selecting the beautiful chandel-
iers which light the building. There are
125 lights throughout the building. Upon
reaching the building one finds in the
vestibule three opalescent moons, which
also light up the stairs leading from the
sidewalk. Opening the front door and
stepping into the hall the light from a
five light chandelier hung with satellites
confronts you, and at the other end of
the hall is similar chandelier of four
lights also with satellites. On either
side OF the hall the various offices are
well lighted by from two to four lights
each, with the exception of the county
court room which has three chandeliers
of three lights each and drop light
over the judges desk. Going up stairs
in the hall is another beautiful chandel-
ier of five lights. Passing into the dis
trict court room, which is the largest
room in the building, you find it most
brilliantly lighted, coming from five
handsome chandeliers of twelve lights
each, making magnificent effect. The
remaining offices on the second floor, the
toilet rooms, the Jail and the furnace
room in the basement are all lighted by
drop lights. Each vault has an electric
light in it. The building throughout is
so well lighted with electricity, penetrat-
ing every nook and corner, that there
will be no need for any one using matches
thus making it making it more secure
against the possibility of starting fire.

Enjoyable smoker.

Central City Camp No. 800, Woodmen
of the World, gave their initial smoker
last Thursday evening, at their hall on

time we have not spent for many day.
About 80 gentlemen enjoyed 2ls hours
of sport, interspersed with music, and
the smoking OF several boxes of cigars.
The evenings program opened with
three round glove contest between Ollie
Peterson and Pat Welch, followed by
piano selection by J. Merritt. Young
Floyd and Fina were then placed in bar.

ing and rolling were INDUCED IN 10 the
great amusement of the spectators. A
song was then rendered by Louis Rach-
ofsky. Next on the program was u
wrestling bout between ii. Gilman and
G.. Schneider. After n few minutes in.
ger went three rounds with the gloves
on. The audience then enjoyed IL contest
between Kid Mccoy and ferry McGov-
ern, and the lovers OF the manly art can
now understand how the terrible rushes
and straight arm jabs of McGoverns al
ways make him the winner. Mccoy was
represented by q. Stegner and Terry by
w. W. Bosantc. II. Dennis favored the
audience with song, followed by jos,
MERIT with piano selection. A wood
saving contest was won by w. w. Bo-

THE NEW CONCENTRATION PLANT.
AS soon as the plans and specifications
of the new concentration plant OF the
Avon company are submitted and ac-
cepted, which are now about completed,
the company will break ground for the
new mill as soon as the weather will per-
NIT. They are as anxious to have the
250-ton plant up and in operation as the
mining men. To say the least, it will fill
a long felt want and be the means of
shipping a large amount of crude sui
phide Gilpin county ore to other outside
points for treatment.

RESUMED SINKING.

Michael Flynn, of the Gladstone mine,
Illinois Central district Tuesday of this
week resumed sinking in the main shaft
of that property. A further distance of
100 feet will be sunk and levels extended
each way. The present depth of the
shaft is 1870 feet. This is one of the
properties on which gasoline engine is
used for hoisting purposes. 1t is said to
give good satisfaction, and is claimed to
be run with a comparatively small
amount of gasoline. A plant of similar
character has been placed in the Specie
payment mine on Bellevieu mountain,
Idaho district

shafts in Gilpin county, square sets hav-
ing been put in under the former man
agement. 1t is now owned by Mr..
Collins, of Bradford, Pa. The Scandia
is wide, true tissure vein and carries
large quantities of sulphide ore of very
fair grade.
Black Hawk miners are taking out ore
from near the surface on the Cyclops
lode, on Silver mountain, and have ship
ped several lots to the sampling works
in this city.
II. j. Sears Il Co. are retimbering the
shaft on the Bates Baxter mine and Sc
curing all the loose ground liable to cave
in. This completed, they will resume
sinking. They have taken lease of the
Climax % stamp MILL and will start it
up. They anticipate shipping three
cords, about % tons, per day, which will
keep that number of stamps employed.
The smelling ore by assay show values
amounting to 800 per ton. They have
not made any recent shipment of this
class of ore. They employ fifteen men.
The Colorado Mountain company have
elected G. S. Ripley, of American City,
as president, who will personally super
wise the workings of the property, stu
ated in Pine district.
The proposition of he Home Mining
company of Leadville to increase the
capital stock Of the company to $1,000
| has been turned down. An attorney has
given an opinion that such action would
be illegal. The capital stock will re-
main at 550,000, as originally capitalized.
The Meath mine, at one time owned
by John Dumont, situated east of En-
pire, Clear Creek county, will resume
work again, st. Louis parties having
taken hold Of it. 1t is a wide, well de
! fined true iissure vein.
The Garden, Sun and Moon owners
have made connection with the two
properties at the fifth levels, which have
come together in extending those levels
They are finding their best pay ore on
the hanging wall.
John Kairns, of the Hayes & Wheeler
Gold Mining company, has secured one
battery of five stamps at the new mill
adjoining the Rocky Mountain concen-
traitor in Black Hawk, which he will
keep dropping on ore from the com
pany's Hayes 81 Wheeler lode at Missouri
City, south of this city. He has pat in
stulls in the lower levels, which will fur
nish ore for that number of stamps at
present. They will be increased when
the stopping ground is fully opened up.
He will commence sinking an additional
30 feet in the main staff next week. as
there is a good body OF ore in the bottom
of the same.
II. A. Hoffman, vice president and
treasurer OF the Kansas Burroughs Con
solidated Mining company, came up from
Denver Tuesday. While here he left
word with Manager p. Mccain to stop
work on the English Kansas, as the vein
in that property is badly split up and
unsafely timbered. To further continue
work there would not justify the com
pany under existing conditions. The
property can be more cheaply deueloped
by, driving levels eest from the Pease-
Kansas, which is now being done.

RULING OF IMPORTANCE.

A recent ruling of the secretary of the
interior in regard to applications for
mining patents is of considerable in
portance. 1t has heretofore been held
that where corner of an adjoining agr'
cultural claim cuts into mining claim,
patent for the latter could not be secured
in its entirety where portion has pre-
viously been patented as agricultural.
This has been reversed by the secretary,
who holds that the agricultural claimant
makes affidavit that the ground is nom
mineral. Under these circumstances the
United States could successfully main
tain a suit to vacate an agricultural pat
ent on mineral ground to the extent of
the ground in conflict with the mineral
vein.
OUTPUT OF MONTANA 1898 AND 1899
e. b. Braden, assayer in charge of the
U. S. assay office at Ielona, Montana,

Taking silver at its commercial value,
lead and copper at their average prices
for the year, the total production in 1899
is valued at S53,3l1 $50, against si0,360,
100 in 1898; showing gain last year of

To the value of the metals there should
be added S2,072,000 for coal and s43l 000
