GOT THE MINING FEVER.

The Denver Evening Post announces
that Hilda Thomas, an actress at the
Empire theatre, has caught the mining
fever during the two weeks in Denver.
In connection with her husband, Lou
Hall, she is negotiating for lease with
the privilege Of buying the west Sara
toga mine in Russell district, near Cen
tral City. Miss Thomas, in speaking OF
mining, said: mining? Oh, yes, am
enthusiastic. believe I'll make money
like mint" exclaimed the actress when
asked about her deal. II hope to have
the west Saratoga, and il l do and it
pans out al! that it promises shall buy
it," Miss Thomaa is booked up until
next June, when she says she Will retire
THE ROBERTS COMMENTATOR.
The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal of recent date gave the fol
lowing description of John G. Roberts
recently patented ore concentrator: The
combination of the endless belt having
concaved adjustable pulley arranged to
support one OF its ends, and fixed pull
ley arranged to support its opposite end !;
a suitable frame pivotally mounted and
arranged, and adapted to operatvely
support the belt and its supporting pull
ley; means, including screws for fitting
and adjustably setting the frame at any
desired transverse inclination, to give
the belt side or transverse pitch or in
clination; means, including a screw con-
trolled pillow block and bearing and a
slotted bracket arranged to support the
pulley for adjustably Tightening the belt
Of both the lower and upper portions OF
the belt, an apron portion on the pulp
boxes, and a series OF small pulp dis
charging holes in the boxes above the
apron, arranged to discharge pulp over
the apron on to the belt. No patent OF
late years has caused 60 much comment
as the above. and is the outcome OF years
OF study as to the best method OF saving
as nearly as possible all the values in
the ore, and with this new patent any
mill will come close to the desired re-
suit. In a low grade proposition the
saving of from $3.50 to $500 ton is an
item worth looking at and this fact is
easy discernabls in the new patent now
in operation at the jackson mill at Idaho
Springs. ,-, 49,, .ls..

NEWS AND NOTES.

OF late there is not as much crude ore
beirg shipped from Russell district to
Idaho Sp .ings for concentration. as for
merly. The most OF il is now being sent
to the Rocky Mountain stamp mill and
concentration, in Black Hawk. which is
accredited with doing splendid work.
Stamp mill ore is being hauled from
the Derigo mine to the stamp mill OF the
Gilpin company in Black Hawk by John
Miller, where two batteries or 10 stamps
are kept running. The ore is Yielding
UP to its former average, the gold being
Of q fine quality for mill retort.
John Owen. OF Idaho Springs, has sold
the Doves Nest and Comstock mines
just over the line in Clear Creek county,
to the Big Five Tunnel and Mining
company. This company is sccumulat.
ing valuable veins that will be intersect-
cd by the workings OF that tunnel IN it's
course north.
Peter Barnsbi, who 10 leasing on the
Centennial mine, will soon have that
property In shape for regular shipments
OF ore. He has had considerable dead
work to accomplish since taking hold OF
It.
Albert Jennings. who is Interested
with w. 81. Hall in the Brooklyn City
mine, paid a visit to the property last
Thursday. He returned to Massachusetts
on Friday and will send sufflcinnt money
to erect shaft house and purchase "a
steam plant OF machinery. Mr.. Hall
will have charge Of the mine.
Dan McMasters, OF the Grand Cen.
trail Mining company, last week received
two Standard ore concentrators at Black
Hawk, which will be given test on ore
from the East Whiting mine.
The Boston parties operating the Un.
expected mine in Lake district are ex.
tending the 26O, $50 and 455 foot levels
east. Ten men are employed and as
soon as these levels are extended miners
will be put to work breaking stamp mill
and smelling ore.
Manager Woods, Of the Tucker mine,
shipped a quantity OF crude ore last
week to the Rocky Mountain mill and
concentrator in Black Hawk. He recent
ly installed 80 horse power boiler and
added to the shaft building, 18xl8, feet to
cover 1t. He will sink the shaft an ad-
ditional 800 feet.
Mr.. Hastie, manager Of the Dolmolco
mine on Quartz hill. will soon commence
sinking the main or engine shaft. It.
will be put down TO further depth Of
800 feet, which will give 1t depth as
great ns that OF the Alps. 1t is not un-
likely that suit viii bc commenced
against tho latter % tresspassers at the
district court. There has been . con.
fIct between the owners for some time
past which will be left for the courts to
de,l lie.

THE PROMPT PAY.

Leidinger & Eeahy Of the Prompt Pay
mine, recentlysshlpped lot OF smelling
ore which gave values Of 13 ounces gold
per ton, besides zinc values. They are
now hosting ore from depth OF ITO
feet. In a few days they will receive
their returns from the last lot OF sme,t-
ing ore shipped. The Prompt Pay is the
same vein as the Jefferson lode but west
of the latter. 1t is one of the promising
mines of Russell district.

A Brief Story Of Ths Exposition,
Its Grounds And Buildings.

The South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition will
open in the City of Charleston,
s. g., December /, 1901, and
close June l, 1902 The Expo
sition company has been charter
ed by the State Of South Carolina,
with a capital stock of $3.50, 600
Active work upon the Exposition
project has only been IN progress
since about the first of last mouth
and what has been accomplished
in the period that has elapsed
since then is without parslled in
the history of exposition building.
The site of tho Exposition will he
on the eastern bank of the Ashley
River within mile and a half of
the business centre OF the CITY Of
Charleston. Tho grounds are
beautifully situated, and will lend
them selves to the most artistic
treatment. One.half of the grounds
will he devoted to the Main Ex-
position Buildings, tho Midway
Concessions and the Administra-
tion Offices of the great show. The
remaining part of the grounds
will preserve their present great
natural beauty, and will be de-
voted to the bindings and OK
htbits made by tho Government
and the several States of the
Union, which will take part in the
Exposition. Some description Of
the architectural features of the
Fair will be of general public in
tereat.
The Exposition grounds are
divided into two main sections ono
consisting Of the old Washington
Race Course property spd the 9th,
or of the Wagner farm, formerly
the Lorndss place. The Archit-
sct-in- Chief has adopted the gen.
erai plan of developing the Race
Course proper on purely coustruc-
tive lines and of preserving as far
as possible the natural beauty of
the Wagner place. The Race
Course property has been employo
ed for years for purely sgrlcult-
ural purposes, no race of any inn
portance having been given there
since the War between the States.
This part of the grounds is entir-
ely level. No better site, in the
opinion of expert artists and

builders, could bs found. About
% acres have been resarved on
this part Of the grounds for the
Midway Concessions. The main
Exposition buildings surround =
grand court at the western e1-
tremitv of the old Race Course.
This will be in shape something
like an elongated horseshoe, with
the Cotton Palace, or main EY-
position building, occupying the
toe of the shoe, with the Commerce
Palace and the Agricultural Palace
occupying respectively the two
sides of the shoe. These buildings
with their connecting colonades,
will extend for a distance of about
one miles. Within the horse shoe
there will he q Sunksn Garden
covering several acres, with a
lake in the center. A wide ssplan-
ude OF Alameda about 60 feet in
width will surround this garden.
At the northern end of the
garden there will be a grar d
Plaza from which a splendid view
will he obtained of tho main FIX =
position buildings. The vistas
opening out from this point
through groves of palmetto trees
which will line the outer sdgss of
the walks around the Garden will
extend for a distance of 1000
feet. Just north of the grand
Plaza will stand the Auditorium
building, directly opposite the
Cotton Palace, from which a view
may be obtained Of the entire
! Court OF Palaces, with the Sun,
ken Garden, and its trees and
! flowers and the sloping banks
which surround it. Each of the
Exposition buildings will be 400
feet in length, with an average
width Of 100 feet, and, as already
stated, will be connected by colon
nadss, the construction being such
that the colonnades can be used
for exhibits.
Among the special attractions
of the Court of Palaces will he
fountains and bits of statuary and
handsomely desigRsd columns of
the Spanish type, all contributln
to the beauty of the scene. At
one end of the Sunksn Garden 9

at the other end pergola or lat
