extending the lower or 1,10O-foot levels,
which, with the added 500 feet acquired
through the purchase of the Peterson
mine on the west, gives his company a

can be very economically taken out as
soon as the west lower level is extended
to the boundary line. The company now
has holdings on the Fisk, which is the

1,100 linear feet, very desirable prop
The ore passed through in the lowest

shipn ent OF ore and concentrates to the

that of 1856 cars, or 3,42S tons. The

creek, above Black Hawk, on ore from
their property on Quartz hill. Water
power is used, the manager OF the mill

ore will be broken to keep the full quota

T1MBERs FOR MINING USAGE.


Colorado mining men are discussing
the problem of obtaining mining tim
bers, as the supply of heavy mine tim
bers for square sets and other under
ground work is comparatively limited.
The Mining and Scientific Press, com
menting on the fact, says that the land
Office has frightened the screws CON
siderably of late, and it is believed that
ultimately the advance in the cost of
timbers will be more than the mines can
stand. 1t is figured that in shaft sink
ing, where six feet square sets are used,
will be increased by s5 per foot. Con
gresham Lacy has introduced bill,
framed in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the general land Office, re-
vising the existing statutes relating to
the disposition of timbers IN the public
land states. The measure authorizes
free use of timber by miners, prospect
ors and bona fide settlers on their own
claims and farms, and provides that the
secretary of the interior may sell SO
much OF the timber growing on the pub
lie lands as may be necessary for the use
OF persons dependent on timber in set.

THE STRIKE IN THE NEWHoUsE TUN
MEL CONFIRMED.

MEL CONFIRMED.
Last week The OBSERVER gave q
synopsis of the strike made in the Gem,
Gem Extension and Main Trunk veins,
near Idaho Springs, by means of the
Newhouse tunnel. From Charles Viii
mot, an old experienced miner of Clear
Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties, THE
OBSERVER learns that from his personal
observation he considers it one of the
biggest strikes that has ever been made
in any Of the above mentioned counties.
The full width of the ore body is thirty
feet as measured with a steel tape line.
The lower grade ore, after concentration
at the mill and concentration works Of
Mr.. Renshaw at Idaho Springs, will
readily command $50 per ton, while sew
eral streaks OF clear mineral will net an
average OF s45 per ton Just as it is taken
from the vein. The ore is galenouq, car
rying copper-iron and the values gold,
silver, copper and lead.
Mention was made last week that q
large flow Of water was coming from the
vein where 1t was intersected by the
tunnel. The OBsERvER's informant
states that other veins in the same belt
that have had a large inflow at the point
at which they have been worked, is now
rsceeding, and will soon be free FROM
that incumbrance to deeper and future
development work Of the respect We
veins.
This strike has been an incentive for
other mine owners in that particular 10
cality to begin work on other properties
in more systematic manner than before
The OBSERVER congratulates Mr.. Rem
shaw and his associate, Mr.. Walsen
upon their SUCCESS. They have been tc
q great expense in segregating theiI
present holdings, and now are on the
eve Of being we'll rewarded for their timt
and labor.

Tomorrow evening the informal bene-
fit dance for Frederick Hartnoll will be
given in Washington hall by commit
tee Of representative gentlemen of the
borough. The affair is being looked
forward to by not only the immediate
friends of Mr.. Hartnoll but by a large
number of the people of this and other
towns who have become interested in
the unfortunate circumstances under
which he has been suffering for the
past year.
Mr.. Hartnoll was prominent in all
social events, prior to "a peculiar dis
ease which attacked both eyes and
which did not yield to treatment with
definite success. At the present time
he labors under great difficulty in dis
tinguishing objects of any kind. with
little hopes of his sight improving.

details of the benefit in hand and have
worked to make the same the success
