The City Election.

Tuesday was a very warm, beautiful
day and an ideal one on which to hold
an election. A great deal of interest
was taken and the streets were lively all
day with carriages carrying voters to
and from the polls. The battle, while
fought out good naturedly. was a severe
one. Everybody took sides and worked
like beavers until the polls closed.
When it some to get out the vote it
was discovered that many, who were en-
titled to vote, had failed to register.
There must have been at least % of this
class, residents of the town, who had,
for n reason and another, failed to
register. This will certainly open the
eyes OF the voters to the necessity OF
registering at the proper time.
For the reason above mentioned the
vote was not nearly so large as it should
have been, only 222 votes being polled.
The result was as follows:

A Hermit Philosopher.

Madore Cushman, philosopher and
ranchman, who resides in an ideal
spot up near the timber line, between
the north and south forks of the En-
campment river, vas down last Sat
urday to make final proof on his des-
ert land entry. MI. Cushman is
thinking of disposing of his ranch
and going to a lower altitude to live.
He has been in that locality for the
past IA years. At one time he had a
large herd of tame elk and deer,
which lived in an enclosed park. The
young elk used to run and play with
the dogs and always accompanied
the old man when he went after the
cows OF an evening. Always accus-
toned to the kindest treatment these
elks would come at call, and lick salt
or eat food from the hand of their
master. II was one of the finest
sights, this deer and elk park, that
was ever presented to the wondering
eyes OF the stranger that CHANGED to
wander to that neighborhood. But
during the running season the bulls
became dangerous fellows and Mr..
Cushman had a very narrow escape
from death one season from the horns
OF one of his pets. This decided him
to dispose of his herd, which he did
for a very neat sum-. Since which
time he has been engaged in raising
cattle.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
OF Rich Ore in the Octavia Company's
Tunnel--A Mammoth Vein That runs
For miles Across the Country.

From A. M. Horton, a mining man,
who came in from the Continental
Divide last week, we learn many
things of interest concerning a mann
moth copper lead, on the west slope
of the divide, running a little south of
east across the country for many
miles, which is estimated to be 40
feet wide. On this vein is situated
the Syndicate, the Black Diamond,
the Octavia mining properties and the
Leighton-G Gentry. A body of ore
some ten feet in thickness, has been
struck in the Syndicate which assays
from 81 to 1892. This strike is at a
depth of 140 feet.
Several caves have been struck in
this mine, which indicate that the
large rich bodies of ore have leached
out. Some very fine specimens of
bornite, covalite, green carbonites,
black and red oxyde and peacock cop
per are found in this lead.
Last Monday news came to town
that the Octavia people had also
struck this rich lead in their tunnel.
All parties agree hal the lead they
are on is identical with the Syndicate
property. The Octavia tunnel is in
about $50 feet at this time. Speci-
mems of the ore were shown in Rude
feha and can hardly be distinguished
from the Syndicate ore. They have
run their tunnel in from the foot wall
side and in the leads in that vicinity
all of the rich bodies of ore lie next
to the hanging wall. The new find
is estimated to run from 3 per cent.
to 5 per cent. in copper and the same
body of ore carries sulphur, iron, sill
yer and gold, as well as lead. The
footwall is lime and the hanging wall
porphyry.
Mr.. Horton is interested in umer
GUS promising claims in that region
and is the head of what he has seer
fit to name the Spotted Hog Mining
Company" While in the city this
time he sold an interest in some of
his claims for the sum of 5000.

Little Burton Johnston, the five
year old son of w. H. Johnston, who
has been living with his grand-pa-
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Morgan,
of Riverside, died at that place Mon
day morning. 1t is not known what
the immediate cause of his death was,
but there is not much question but
what the real cause was the effects of
the poisoning which came so near
ending his life at the time of his
mothers death over a year ago.
A messenger was sem from here
Monday morning for Mr.. Johnston,
who was at his ranch some twelve
miles down the river, and he was tax

The body was brought to this place
Tuesday evening, accompanied by
the father and children and by Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Morgan and taken
to the railroad yesterday and shipped
to Rawlins, where it will be buried
in the family burying lot. Mr.. and
Mrs. Morgan, as well as Mr.. Johnston,
are almost heartbroken over their loss,
Mrs. Morgan being almost Frustrated

Pearl Booming.

William Marcy was down from
Pearl the past week after brick. He
reports business as very lively at that
new mining town. A large hotel, to
cost 5000, is in process of erection,
and several other buildings, among
which is a large general store, are be-
ing built. This increased activity is
all due to the very rich copper mines
being opened up in that vicinity.
Mr.. Marcy was down here for brick,
FOR which he paid the sum of $40 per
Thousand. As each brick weighs five
pounds they cost exactly $50 per
Thousand when laid down at Pearl.

"a
erated--Seventeen and a Half Tons of
Machinery for the Ruby Group.
This Office was favored Saturday by
a visit from John Van Lieu, President
and John Russell, director, Of the
Ruby Copper and Gold Mining Com
pany, and NJ. NJ. Green, western man
ager and G. A. Chambers, treasurer
of the Copper Glance Mining and
Milling Company. The gentlemen
had just just arrived from Chicago
and were on their way up country to
look over the ground and prepare for
the reception Of a large amount of
machinery, which they had shipped
just previous to their departure for
the west.
The property of the Ruby Copper
and Gold Mining Co. consists of four
teen claims, lying on the head waters
of Beaver creek, about four miles
L east of the Kurtz- Chatterton copper
mine, joining the Evening Star on the
west. Mr.. Van Lieu expects to re-
main here and superintend the devel-
opment of his company's mines. Be
fore he left he ordered one of the
most complete mining outfits possible,
consisting of one forty horse power
boiler, a compound air compressor,
air drills, cars, car rails, four tons of
piping, etc. The plant weighs seven
teen tons and a half.
The tunnel is already in I25 feet.
And as soon a. the machinery arrives
work will be resumed and carried for
ward as fast as possible, night and
day. In running this tunnel a vein
of tale 20 feet wide was cut which
ran 2 ! per cent. copper. This tun-
mel will, at 300 feet, cut a vein of cop
per ore which is six feet wide at the
surface Samples taken from a 40
foot shaft on this vein ran from IS
per cent. to 81 per cent. copper. This
tunnel will also cut two other veins
/. farther on.
NJ. NJ. Green and C. A. Chambers
represent the Copper Glance Mining
and Milling Company. The property
on which this company is now prose-
cutting work lies four miles east of the
Kurtz-C hatterton mine which, judg-
ing from the groupings, is the same
lead. This tunnel is already in 200
feet and a contract for lbs feet more
has been let. This will bring the
tunnel to a point where it will cut a
vein of copper showing s feet in width
on the surface, the out-croppings of
which are identical with that of the
KurtzlC hatterton. This tunnel has
already cut three veins of copper ore,
running from n to four feet in
thickness. The main vein, to reach
which this tunnel is being run, will
be cut at about 385 feet. Assays
from this vein ran as high as 1929
In copper and gold and an assay
from the four foot vein gave values as
high as Sl23.S4. Some machinery
has also been ordered for this mine.
MI. Green is also interested in the
Blackfoot Mining and Milling Com
pany, which owns properties that lie
very close to those of the Battle Lake
Tunnel Site Company, on the head of
Cow creek.
These men all speak in glowing
fterms of the outlook for this summer
and say that a great many Chicago
men are becoming interested in this
country and that a large amount of
capital will be poured into the mines
that are now being opened up. The
showing, they claim, is growing bet
ter, and more confidence is now had
in the future of this country than at
any previous time.

property is situated at the head of

able record of late by numerous strikes

The Lillian Russell is the name of
the prospect. w. j. Russell Just
came in from Elwood as we were go
ing to press. He examined this new
strike; he says that it is the finest
prospect he ever looked at in all his
mining experience. 1t belongs to
Emory Young, and is an undoubted
Bonanza. Excitement is running
very high over this strike, and the
miners and prospectors are thorough
ly prospecting the ground. The snow
is all off down there. Shipping ore
from the grass roots-it is rich in
gold.

We are informed that Mr.. Emory
Young of Elwood (Transfer) has made
a fine strike in that immediate neigh
borhood, and that at a slight depth
opened up a good body of ore contain
ing red oxide of copper. We are glad
to hear of these good strikes and es.
pecially to hear that Mr.. Young is so
fortunate. The thing now is for En-
campment to send out reports that it
is within the city limits of that enter
prising town-it is over six miles
away-but that is nothing, they have
frequently come up here and taken

The tunnel on the Rambler proper
ty is now in about IT'S feet and is be-
ing driven as fast as possible, it is
estimated that it will require to be
driven about 300 feet yet in order to

work is going rapidly on in the old
workings above the old tunnel stop
ing is being done and a large amount
of ore is being extracted Of an exceed
