The Western slope of Covode
mountain is receiving an increased
show of attention, due to the ex-
tension of active development over
a large portion of its area. All of
the old and several of the newer
operations are contributing their
quota to the great activity and ton
nege production of the camp. The
Sedgwick and the Dewey claims
under the management of Fred A.
Roepper, who shares their owner
ship with Pennsylvania parties, are
being steadily worked through adit
levels that are assuming promising
shape as the mountain is penetrat-
ed. Both claims had been sufici
emily opened to disclose a strength
of vein and grade of ore to fully
warrant the expenditure for the
thorough development now being
made by their owners. The char
acter of the ore uncovered is similar
to that of the Gold Bug property,
whose side lines adjoin, and carries
that predominating proportion of
gold, with the silver and copper,
that invariably accompany it in the
Covode mountain product. The
Empire City, Enterprise and Den
yer City properties, all convenient
1y situated close to the road, can be
worked for shipment throughout
the winter, and the long tunnel on
the former will be pushed forward
to tap the Gold Bug and the other
1odes lying beyond its heading serve
as an economical channel through
which to remove the ore and waste.
The necessity for the construction
of difficult mountain roads or ex-
pensive tramways will then be done
away with.

The Williams Fork country, one
of the latest to attract the attention
of mining men, is rapidly forging
to the from.
While the district has not been
prospected or developed to any
great extent, enough has been done
to demonstrate to practical mining
men that the precious metal is there
in abundance and that with the
proper mode of development in
vogue, it will only be a matter of a
short time until capital will be
knocking at the doors.
S. B. Wills, a man who has pros
pected throughout the entire west,
and who is familiar with the vari-
Gus formations in the various dis
tricts, arrived in Idaho Springs last
Saturday from the Williams Fork
country, and announced himself as
being highly pleased with the dis
trict in general. In speaking of
the work being done he had the fol-
lowing to say: "The principal de-
velopment work is being done by
the Williams Fork Mining COM
pany, which is being financed by
Denver gentlemen. They are of
the opinion that they have good
proposition, and after making a
thorough inspection of the district
1 must say that l certainly agree
with them.
"This company has secured a
number of claims all showing a we'll
defined lead, which in my opinion,
is sure to produce good results in
short time.
The tunnel which was started i'll
the early part of the summer, has
been driven for a distance of 447

EMPIRE DISTRICT

The Nugget group, up on Silver
mountain, comprising the Gold
Nugget, Schiller and Maud S. lodes
has been the subject of investiga-
ton by an agent of parties seeking
property for company purposes. The
strong veins easily reached by short
extensions of existing tunnels, rem
der the property desirable as most
economical proposition. A shallow
shaft on the Gold Nugget proper
exhibits a crevice eight feet wide,
with a five foot body of low grade,
solid ore. Sinking will be prose
cuted on this shaft and drifts run
to prospect the deposit at depth.
The consummation of the negotia-
tions for the transfer of the Rose
Grams property to Eastern people,
will again add to that desirable
class OF purchasers whose invest
ment is Immediately followed by
active and sustained endeavor to
render it profitable. The Rosecrans
is one of the oldest patented claims
on Silver mountain and was worked
for the free milling quartz that eX-
tended to varying depths during the
early years of the camps existence.
Later operations have been confined
to zone that rarely yields values
exceeding $40 per ton on that sec
ton of the mountain, and while the
lode is often ten feet wide. greater
depth is needed to reach the better
grade of ore that undoubtedly un-
derlies the present cap. The new
owners, appreciating this condition
will place the required machinery
and commence the work of sinking
several hundred feet below the bot
tom of the present shaft. Work is
to be started at once.

Her Ability Recognized.

Miss Montrose- Grahame's piano recital
last evening in Association Hall was
largely attended. She played compost
tions from Bach, Beethoven, Schuman,
Rubinstein, Mendelssohn and List. Her
rendering of Bach's difficult "Chromatic
Fantasy and Figue" was especially praise
worthy. Miss Grahame has brilliant
technic, combined with a big singing
tone, which was beautifully demonstrated
in the Rubinstein "Barcaole" and in
Mendelssohn-Liszt "Auf Flugeln des
Gesanges. Toronto Globe.
Miss Grahame will be in Idaho Springs
every Friday and can be seen at Miss
Thompson's.

feet, and the vein has been exposed
in the breast of the tunnel for the
entire distance.
"It may appear surprising, but
it is nevertheless a fact, that more
than two-thirds of the dump would
pay for the milling and give hand
some returns.
There are great quantities of
ore in the tunnel, all of a high
grade, and the smelling streak is
about eight inches in width, CARRY
ing values ranging from SI6o up to
$500 to the ton. The gouge mat
ter is from IS to "a inches wide and
the mine is capable at the present
time of producing at the least esti-
mate so tons of mill dirt every "a
hours.
Zone good thing, and one which
should be taken into consideration
is the small expense incurred in
taking out the ore. The rock is
not hard to penetrate and two men
will accomplish as much as three
in some other places.
cit is the intention of the COM
pany to begin the erection, at an
early date, of a road across the
range. When this work is COM
pleted it will be much easier to
transport the ore. Burros are now
used to take in the supplies.
"You can expect to hear of some
lively doings in the district from
this time on. A number of pros
pectors are now on the ground and
more are coming in every day. A
great many locations have been
made and considerable work is being
done"

The good, oldfashioned Quaker sim
plicity and distrust of royalty were
never better exhibited than in these
words of the mother of the late Rich
ard Vaux OF Philadelphia. They were
her first greeting to him on his return

his memorable exploit at the court ball
In Buckingham palace when he at

only American who ever danced with
Queen Victoria.
1t was in 1887. Mr.. Vauxs position

prominence in London, but his excep-

Of conversation, charm of person, ex-

and gallantry of carriage made him the
beau ideal of a court cavalier and a
welcome guest in the houses of the
nobility whence he was received and
welcomed with open arms. No one,
therefore, was greatly surprised in
court circles when it became known
that the young queen had singled him

taken any notice of this extraordinary
traffic, 1000 rifles had been admittedly
hidden away by the men of Montceau

true figures. however, cannot be known

refused, when solicited, to vote upon
1t. If the minimum days pay could
be secured the eight-hour working day
would come in handy, but as there is
no real hope that the government
could succeed in debating fixed eX-
penses to mine owners, even should it
be willing to undertake the novel task
the eight-hour working day remains
one of the enigmas of the industry.
Besides this, great masses of miners,
especially in the more prosperous
localities. prefer not to be bound down
to rigid hours. They vote with the
federation, or abstain from voting, but
their interest urges them the other
way. Such was the case of the miners
of Montceau before the strike of 1899,
and such is the case of the non-strik
ers, called The Yellows," of today.
The government has at last taken a
firm hand and whenever the Reds store
an abundance of rifles a raid by gen
darmes (French military police) is
sure to follow. Several seizures have
already been reported. In some cases
individuals bearing arms are being
notified to deliver them to the govern
ment officers under penalty of death.

Benjamin d. Silliman, who died at
his home in Brooklyn last week, at
the ripe age of 95, was the Nestor OF
the New York bar and the Oldest liv-
ing graduate of Yale university. Other
distinctions were his. His great-grand-

years in Connecticut and his grand
father was a brigade commander in
the revolutionary war. Through his
grandmother he was a descendant from
John Alden and Priscilla Moulin. who
came over in the Mayhower in 1920,
and who are the hero and heroine of
Longfellow's famous poem.
In 1915 Mr.. Silliman's father re-
moved to New York and later to
Brooklyn. In 1920 the younger Sill
