SALE OF THE SLIDE MINE.

The Denver Times OF the 2Sth instant
announces the sale OF the Slide mine, at
Gold Hill, Boulder county, to Colorado
Springs parties who have agreed to ex-
pend the sum of $1,000 in further de-
velopment of the property within the
next six months. The purchase price of
the property is 100000, the first pay
ment to be made in six months. The
mine for some length of time has been
worked under the tribute system, which
has proved profitable to the owners, and
is accredited with having produced
JS1,5C0,O00 since it's discovery. Hon.
Willard Teller, OF Denver, is interested
in the mine. A recent strike in the
lower workings produced ore that yielded
ct the smelter 100 ounces gold per ton.
Gilpin observer., 1901-01-31
A BAD PRACTICE.

The practice of forcing air into under
ground excavations by means Of blowers
is bad one and should be abandoned.
says the Denver Mining Reporter. The
proper way is to suck or lift the bad air
out. 1t is easily done. A properly con-
structed furnace at the surface connect
ed by large enough and tight pipes with
the lowest or farthest distant part of the
workings will accomplish the end de-
sired at one-quarter the cost in bo. in
stallation and operation of plant that is
involved by the use OF blowers. Ere.
quently even this is Unnecessary. A
double compartment shaft with air-tight
partitions will insure perfect ventilation
clear to its bottom. The column OF air
in one or the other division will always
be the lightest and will rise. In tuu-
mel broad enough for two tracks, par
tition-but it must be air-tlght-will
secure the same results. or course this
latter arrangement is rarely possible.
In all cases where furnace ventilation
proves unsatisfactory the causes are to
be found either in leaks in the pipe or
because the pipe is too small, or the
furnace is wrongly constructed.

TO AMESp THE MINING BILLS.

A Washington special to Mondays
Denver Republican gives the text of
Senator Stewards bill to amend the min-
ing laws Of the United States, discloses
one Of the most radical mining measures
proposed in congress for many years.
The bill provides as follows:
That no person shall locate a mining
claim as agent or power OF attorney for
another except as hereinafter provided.
No person shall locate more than one
placer mining claim in the watershed of
any stream or creek in the same min
ing district, nor shall any person
locate more than one claim on any vein
or lode. Provided that any citizen of
the United States or person who shall
have declared his intention to become
such may, after the discovery OF ore in
place in lode or mineral in paying
quantities in a placer deposit, locate one
such claim for one other person as agent
or attorney, and no more, in any one
mining district Provided further, that
prior to any such locntion for another
he shall file for record in the recorders
Office Of the mining district power of
attorney authorizing him to made min
ing locations for the person named there
in, which power OF attorney must be
acknowledged before a notary public or
other person having seal and author
lied by law to take acknowledgements OF
deeds; and provided further, that the
person for whose benefit the location is
made shall be citizen OF the United
States or shall have declared his inten-
ton to become such, and shall within
six months after such location file his
acceptance OF the same, acknowledged
in the same manner as the power OF
OF attorney Aforesaid, with the recorder
of mining claims in the district where
mining claims are recorded, and shall
perform the amount Of labor and i'm
provements required within the time
prescribed by law.
Sec. 2. That on all mining claims
located as provided in section ] of this
act the assessment work required by
law shall be performed on or before the
3lst day OF December following the date
of location, except on claims located
after the first day of September in any
year the time within which the said
assessment work shall be performed
may be extended to any including the
3lst day of December of tho following
year; and no person shall relocate, either
by himself or by agent, any claim upon
which he has failed to perform the said
assessment work.

tween them that such conveyance would
not be made unless the purchaser took
certain other claims bonded separately;
norris it material that the purchaser had
knowledge of such interest, the latter
being bound by the terms of the bond
to which he consented.
The supreme court Of Oregon held re-
'cently in the case of Muldrick vs.. Brown,
that under the law OF the United States
(Reyised Statutes, section 232O) requir-
ing the discovery Of vein or lode within
quartz claim before any right can be
acquired thereto, it is enough to entitle
the discoverer to protect his mining
rights II ore or metalliferous rock be
found in place sufficient TO warrant a
pendent man in spending time and
money on it, though it may not contain
ore IN paying quantities. A court of
equity will restrain person preparing
to extract ores from the mine OF an
other through trespass, since such ex-
traction would destroy the substance
and value Of the estate.

Former Well Known Business Man and
Citizen Of Central.
