bids for the construction OF 16 double

NEWS AND NOTES.

Good headway is being made in sink
ing the mnin shaft OF the Old Town mine
in Russell district, its present depth be-
ing over 400 feet. The manager is
anxious to attain a depth Of COO feet
before spring.
A light force OF miners are at work in
the Huddleston nina on Winnebago hill,
stopping and opening up new ground in
extending levels. This is the property
taken hold OF some time ago by st. Louis
parties.
Stephin Hoskin, OF the Freedom mine
has resumed sinking in the main shaft,
which will be continued on down aa
rapidly as the nature OF tho ground will
permit.
Thomas Dunstone, manager Of the
Running Lode group OF mines in Black
Hawk, is preparing to resume sinking,
which will be- commenced the first OF
December next.

ton, says the Engineering and Mining

All Candidates on the Fusion Ticket, With
the Exception of One Justice of the
Peace, Are Elected.
SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITIES PREVAIL.
Wolcottism in This County Rebuked in a Verv
Strong Manner-Colorado Fusion Bv
Handsome Majorities

The election last Tuesday in this
county passed off in very quiet manner,
the day being an ideal day for election,
as far as the weather was concerned,
and a very heavy vote was polled
throughout the county. The greatest
interest, and where the strongest fight
was made, was for represents tive. 1t
was Richmond and Wolcott, and Boil
singer and anti-Wolcott. Each side was
working hard but the Fusionists had the
better organization. At night after the
polls closed both sides claimed victory,
and it was not until after 10 o'clock the
county reports commenced coming in,
and showed that Bolsinger was leading.
Many were the surprises had by both
parties. For instence the Republicans
claimed third precinct by about 100,
and Black Hawk, and that they would
Gilpin observer., 1900-11-08

reduce Bolsingers majority in Nevada,
Fusionists claimed second precinct by
about 60, Russell by so, and allowed the
Republicans small majority in Black
Hawk. The returns below show how
each one was surprised,
DeFrance for district Judge ran away
ahead OF his ticket, as did Jenkins for
county commissioner.
In the state election from present ac-
counts the Fusion ticket was elected by
pluralities varying from 5000 up. The
next legislature will be fusion in its
complexion and will elect U. S. Senator
to succeed Edward o. Wolcott.
The national results all favored Nc.
Kinley for president, the vote being q
landslide for him.

OCTOBER ORE SHIPMENTS.

The shipments of smelling iron and
mill concentrates to the Denver smelters
for the month of October 1900, as well
as crude ore to Idaho Springs, exceeds
October 1899, SO cars or 1912 tons. In
1899 the total shipments for that month
were 296, while for this year they give
a total of 355 cars or 6,5i2 tons. The
Rocky Mountain Concentration works in
Black Hawk, OF late has been doing ex-
cellent work, in several instances giving
better satisfaction than has been OBJ
tanned at the works at Idaho Springs.
This naturally has had tendency to
keep number of shippers from sending
their ore to the other works. In this
connection The OBSERVER still main
tains that there is splendid opening
for the erection of another concentra-
tion plant or North Clear Creek above
Black Hawk. 1t would prove a prof.
table investment.

Billy Mitchell was pretty well pleased
with election returns.
Kit Trezise picked Maryland for a
winner.
One Of the smallest tricks of the elec.
ton occurred in Black Hawk. where the
Republicans put out dodgers asking
Bryan people to mark their ballots
"Bryan" and "Populist," knowing that
such ballots wouldn't count for county
ticket. When it comes to misleading
dodgers and raising disturbances the
Republicans arc right in their element.
Joe UpdegraG although being afflicted
with innumerable carbuncles and ulcers,
came down and voted and incidentally
placed a few bets that Judge DeFrance,
Bolsinger and John Jenkins would be
elected, and that Laird would not bleed
the county this year for election printing,
as he did not get an order for it.

RICH ORE FROM EAST NOTTAwAY.
Last week an assay was made by
Percy A. Alsdorf, Of the Standard assay
Office and Chemical Labratory this city,
from sample Of ore taken from the 300
foot east level OF the East Nottaway,
east shaft, which gave the astonishing
return OF S4,960 per ton. This shaft was
sunk number Of years ago, by local
pool, who inadvertently left the crevice.
They drove a cross-cut to catch the
crevice, found it but did no drifting
upon it, as it was cut on pinched ground.
Ex-sheritf William Mitchell, who formed
pool afterward, drifted at this point,
and more fully.proved up the lost crevice.
The gentleman who has charge OF the
property for S. a. Joseph, who now
holds the option and lease of the pro-
perty, few days ago put men at work
at this point, and has been rewarded by
opening fair sized streak OF this rich
ore, which he now drifting upon in order
to prove up its extent and continuity.

COST OF RUNNING AN ALASKAN
MINE,

The report of the Alaska Treadwell
Gold Mining company for the year end

teresting details of the work, and cost OF
mining and milling, which is condensed
from the report. The ore mined and
milled during the year amounted to 557,-
$50 tons, producing bullion amounting
to 81, ,l53,3GS, the average per ton being
S2.067l. In the matter OF expenses the
report might serve as model for many
Colorado mines. The mining expenses
were e0,49S6; milling and concentrating,
S0,l93S; sulphuret expense, SO,l423;
bullion charges, 80. 1925; Office and legal
expenses S0,0l97; the total expense being
S0,s720 per ton. Company pays its men

WHAT IS sEIGNIORAGEo

This term as used in the United States,
means the profit arising from the coin
age Of bullion. The Government does
not purchase gold bullion, but coins it
on private account. There is no profit
from the coinage of gold bullion, the
face value of gold coins being the same
as their bullion value, but at the present
ratio of 16 to l the face value OF the sill
yer dollar is greater than it's bullion
value; therefore when silver bullion is
purchased and coined into dollars there
is profit arising from such coinage, the
amount Of which depends upon the
price paid for the bullion. For example
there are 2714 grains of pure silver in a
dollar and there are 4S0 grains of pure
silver in fine ounce. The coinage value
OF fine ounce is therefore S1.2929. If
the fine ounce can be purchased for 10
cents, the profit OF its coinage (the seig-
niorage) Is S0.5929-, and the profit on
the 37l4 grains of pure silver in the
single dollar is SO.45S6-, which is the
difference between the actual cost OF
the bullion in the dollar and the nomi-
nal value of the coin, The silver pur-
chased by the Government is carried on
the books of the Treasury, at its actual
cost, and the seigniorage is declared on
on the coinage of each month and paid
into the Treasury.
