Romano. of . Hidden SHAFT.

The Victor correspondent of the Den
yer Post says that parties investigat-
Ing the legal status Of the Klondike
claim, located near the Santa Rita, on
SQuaw mountain, spent several hours
a few days ago In search for the
shaft which was reported to have been
covered up. They learned accidentally
that a house had been built over 1t and
made overtures to the occupant for ad-
mission. 1t was denied, however. Both
forces withdrew-the Investigators to
plan and scheme and the lady to heat
some water.
Strong resolutions were passed on
both sides.
The Investigators then appeared with
a plan. While one loudly read law to
the lady from a formidable looking
book which was really a treatise on the
care of the COW, borrowed from a
neighboring house, the other went to
the opposite side Of the house and
drove tunnel beneath 1t through the
wash house just big enough for him 10
squeeze through. He penetrated
dixie of wooden shelves and readily
opened large shoot Of preserves, to-
matoes, hams and other table delica-
cles. and continuing on broke through
to the shaft, which he alleges was be-
Ing used as Dutter vault.

To save the Dumps.

The Denver Post prints the follow
Ing correspondence from Georgetown:
There is Mt Silver Plume a single
square mile of territory that Is said to
have produced over $4O,OOO.OOO in ore
values. At the time Of mining these
ores much low-grade material was
dumped with the waste rock, ETC., un-
til vast piles containing millions of
tons have been accumulated. These
dumps unquestionably contain millions
of dollars In ore values; repeated mill
runs and assays have proven this, bur
the efforts to save them have been Of
spasmodic nature, and thus far fu-
tile.
What IL needed Is patient, persistent
study of conditions, and experiment
accompanied by an exhaustive investi-
CATION, and the invention, II necessary,
of some simple mechanism capable of
treating low-grade mineral with celer-
ity and cheapness, and on lnrge scale.
The Homestake mine, In South Dn-
kota, that in the last few years has
paid $10,75O,OOO In dividends on ore
that assayed less than $5 per ton, and
now with It's new 1,20O-tOn cyanide
plant Is saving $1.O5 per ton on tall
ings, is a practical example Of the pos
SlDlltltS Ill tllls loltSsOk SloSpy
of the Institute OF Technology in Bos-
ton, was here last week and his atten-
tion being called to these now produc-
tive properties, and samples of the ore
shown him by party from the same
city who Is now here Investigating and
making study Of the proposition, ex-
pressed himself as follows: 1T prom
ises well and Is certainly worth devot-
ing time and money to Its investiga-
tion" The probability Is that II the
study of the development of these large
bodies of low-grade ore receives the To-
cal encouragement and cooperation
that 1t should, in the very near future
1t will pass beyond the experimental
stage and the camp will in the course
Of another year begin to receive sub
stantIal benefits from this source.
Tests made have proven very satisfac-
tory to the projectors, and with the
practically unlimited volume there
seems to be good reason to believe that
n new field Of ore production will be
the result. Developments will be
watched carefully and the results re-
ported more fully.

A Deserted Mining Camp.

Dilapidated shaft houses, deserted
dwellings, charred ruins Of old mills
and other evidences of departed glory
greet the observer on every hand on
st. Kevin mountain, on the west side
Of Arkansas valley, near Tennessee
park, says Leadville paper. Grass
now grows in the beaten paths that
were once lined with miners and Wig
orous prospectors, who fancied that
millions were awaiting their energies.
Hundreds Of tons of twisted iron bars,
steel stamps and great castings from
giant machines mark the locations of
destroyed quartz mills, and long tram
tracks tell Of the mode Of transporting
the ore from the mines. Wagon roads
that were once worn deep and filled
with dust are now but gullies, crooked
and deep, that carry the rain water
along the hillsides. Mining ground that
was once the subject of bitter quarrels
and fatal shooting ARRAYS, is for the
present deserted and owners are spend
ing their energies In other directions.
II any Intelligent mining was ever
done there. nothing Is left to tell where
1t was. Scores of little tunnels worm
their way into the hills from the bot
tom of gulches where the absence Of
dumping room signifies the short dis
tance the old-time miners intended to
90 before opening the Eldorados. The
holes are no larger than would be
necessary to admit the passage Of a
sawed-off whisky barrel or n minia-
ture tram car, and no evidence now ex-
lists of any preparations for handling
water. The hundreds of small dumps
indicate that the country is mineral
lied, but not one of them indicates
that prospecting was done deep enough
to ind 1t. The whole country seems to
have been deserted without having
been thoroughly tested. Whether or
not that Is good mining country is
certainly not known. Several Of the
old mines produced some good value
from near the surface in the early
days, but unlike the Leadvllle district.
no plunging wealthy mining man went
down to ascertain whether or not there
was mineral in the lower zones. Like
many other mining sections in Colora-
do that have been deserted. st. Keviu
may be revived, and from the deep re.
cesses of the now apparently barren
territory vast quantities Of mineral
wealth may yet be taken. At present
there seem to be greener fields else
where.

Copper aud Lead.

According to the annual report OF
Charles kirchofr to the Treasury De-
partment on the lead and copper prod.
ucts Of the United States, never In the
history Of the lead industry In the
United States has so large an increase
taken place In q single year as In 1900.
A startling proof has been furnished OF
the capacity of the mines to expand
production and of the fact that In
times Of a normal demand the prices
prevailing last year are too high.
Colorado's product is given as 81, ,137
short tons, as against 7O,3O6 In 1899.
The report on copper says last year
was an exceedingly prosperous one for
the copper mining and smelling In

Sale. in San Miguel County.

The wear 1901 Is not yet two-thirds
past, but the sales Of mining property
In San Miguel county have been far
more numerous in that time than In
any similar period in its history, writes
the Telluride correspondent OF the
ed, some for cash and others on partial
payments, are the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
1850, 900; San Bernard, 100000; Silver
Bell group, $2OO.OOO; Alta. $4,000;
Contention, 100000; Argentine, $780,
600; Crown Point, 10000; Andrus,
$17,5OO; ]. u. W., Jr., $500. Here Is
q total of $1,151 600 In mine transac-
tiops, besides q number Of smaller ones
between local parties. Investors have
come from many different states, but
all were desirous Of securing holdings
in the strong rich true fissure veins
Of the district.
We are now receiving the attention
to which the demonstrated merits of
mineral deposits are justly entitled.
The success that has invariably at
tended every legitimately conducted
mining enterprise in the country Is
having the natural result Of attracting
further Investments and their success
will inspire others to emulate their ex-
ample. Examinations are being made
now Of several prominent producing
properties and before the year closes
the number of sales will be largely in
creased. The chief merit of our ore
measures is found In their continuity
and permanence, and while deposits
Of remarkable richness are not often
found. the deepest workings in the'dis-
trict have SO far never failed to show
profitable values. Railroads and cleo
trio energy furnish reliable and reason-
able transportation and power. Water
and timber are abundant, the climate
Is not severely hard at any time and in
no section of the state are there more
favorable advantages for the steady
and profitable prosecution Of mining US
