ELWOOD
COMPANY'S
SUCCESS
Good Body of Ore Opened in Shaft With
Returns of Four Ounces.


The Metropolitan mine up Spring
Gulch is making a wonderful showing.
This property is managed by w. H. Ell
wood of the Elwood Mining and Milling
company.
During the last week Mr.. Elwood had
assays from three different sections in the
mine and the result was that it was
proven that rich ore could be found in
all parts of the property.
The ore for the first assay was taken
from the lower west level, and the re-
turns gave 4.74 ounces in gold and 7
ounces in silver. In addition to this the
ore was found to contain S.7 per cent
copper.
The second sample was taken from the
lower east level and the returns were as
follows: Gold, 1872; silver, $40; copper,
$50.
The third sample was from the bottom
of the shaft and showed 200 gold; 400
silver; $50 copper.
The shaft is now down 800 feet and the
ahird sample was taken from the ex-
treme bottom. An eight inch streak was
opened, all of a smelling grade. Adjoin-
ing this streak there are sixteen inches
of mill dirt which has an average value OF
$40 to the ton.
The property is being developed in a
thorough and systematic manner, and il
is the intention of the management to be.
gin shipping at early date. The ore
is being sorted and and placed to one side
pending transportation to the smeltei
and mills.
The Elwood Mining and Milling com.
pany is composed principally of Phila'
delphia capitalists and during the pasl
summer a number of them visited the
camp for the purpose of looking over the
property. They were all highly pleased
with the showing made and now that {
good body of ore has been opened uI
with the prospects of it becoming ever
better, it is quite probable that many i'm
provements will be made in the neal
future.
Mr.. Elwood is known as one of tn,
most conservative mine managers in the
district. He never makes a statemen
that he has pay ore unless he can prove
the assertion. He understands his busi
ness and those interested in Spring Gulcf
mining property are more than pleased
with the showing he has made with thu
Metropolitan and other properties be
longing to the company which he repre-
sents.

Air Connections Completed.

Air connections have been made by
wines between the 400 ann 500 foot lev
els of the Pittsburg. The superintendent
of the property has about completed ar
put down an additional 100 feet. About
forty men are employed at the present
time and shipments are made to stamp
mills and Golden and Denver smelters.

Good Outlook.

DR.. L. E. Lemon, of Denver, who is
operating the Firemen's and Conductors
company under bond and lease, is taking
out some very good ore. The tunnel is
now in 400 feet. A lode has been cut
with a smelling streak ranging from 4 to
IS inches in width which gives values
of from $50 to 500 to the ton.
The WORK is under the management of
Henry Grimm.

Is Now a Mining Man.

George L. Hanson has enrolled himself
among the list of mining men. This
week he purchased one-half in the Lin
creek and Kerry lodes, which are situated
in the Spanish Bar mining district. The
property has been owned by Thomas J
Fitzmorris for a considerable length oi
time. 1t is the intention of Messrs. Han
son and Fitzmorris to at once begin prose
cutting development work on the prop.
erty.

YANKEE CONSOLIDATED.
This Company Will Erect Mill in the
Near Future.

ANcdf L utufG.
Yankee is to have a new mill. Work
will begin on the structure in the near
future and it is the intention of the par
ties who are going to build the same to
complete the work as soon as possible.
This enterprise is to be undertaken by
the Yankee Consolidated Minsng, Milling
and Tunnel company, and a mill of at
least rs stamps will be erected.
For the last three months the company
has been operating the old Lowland mill
but has decided to close down for the
reason that they consider time and ore
wasted in operating a mill of only five
stamps. Another reason given for clos
ing is that it cannot be operated in winter
on account of the manner in which it
was constructed.
The company was simply demonstrat-
ing whether or not it would pay to place
a mill on the property and for this reason
the Lowland mill was secured. The de-
monstration was entirely satisfactory.
While it is the intention of the man
agement to erect only mill of 2s stamps
1t will increase the output as rapidly as
the ore to be taken out of the mine will
demand, 1t is probable that inside of
another six months the mill will have a
capacity of at least 100 tons.
The company now has DO, 600 tons of
ore opened up in the Lombard mine, but
the reserves will be greatly increased. A
Ioo-foot Wine will be sunk during the
winter months from the lower level, and
then levels will be run in both directions
from this point.
The property is showing up splendidly
and everyone is watching the work which
is now in progress.
The company is backed by plenty of
capital and it is safe to say that before
the next summer arrives the Yankee
Consolidated will have big producer.
This company is pushing work on the
Manhattan tunnel and work will be con-
tinued until the coming spring at which
time large plant of machinery will be
installed.

COMING
NATION
IS RICH
A Strike of Great Importance to the Soda
Creek Section is Made.

Some of the richest ore discovered in
recent years in this end of the county has |
been taken out of the Coming Nation
mine, which is situated on Soda creek.
A sample was brought to the city this
week by c. King half owner in the prop !
erty, which gave assay returns of 267
ounces in silver and 722.9o ounces in gold
to the ton. The total value of the ore is
SI4,5S3 to the ton.
Mr.. King has been doing the develop
ment work on the property for the past
three weeks and the ore which gave such
handsome returns was taken from the
lower drift of the mine.
The specimen which was shown in this
city was full of wire gold and was
taken from the tunnel While there is
not a great quantity in sight, it is the
opinion of many that the lead is about to
be encountered and in a short time with
proper development, the Coming Nation
would be producer of large quantities
of high grade ore.
The tunnel on the Crming Nation is in
about 300 feet, but active work has not
been prosecuted for some time. There is
body of ore which extends clear across
the tunnel breast, and the wall rock has
been encountered. This ore gives hand
some returns and it has b en- demonstrat-
ed that it is there in sufficient quantities.
A mill run was had on some of this ore
and its average will give better returns
than $50 to the ton.
| A peculiar thing about the ore taken
| from the Coming Nation is that it can be
treated by the cyanide process with very
good results. The ore seems to be we'll
adapted to this treatment and if such is
proven to be the case beyond any reason
able doubt, it is probable that the owne,s S
will make arrangements to have large
quantities treated by this process.
While the Coming Nation has produced
large sums of money, the exact amount
is not known for the reason that different
leasers have worked the property and
failed to report the amount taken out.
However, the amount will foot up in the
thousands.
Every one knows that this section has
produced the richest float ever found in
the district and it begins to look as if
the vicinity was going to prove itself as
being rich in the precious metal. If the
ore body is found from which this rich
ore belongs, which was taken out by Mr..
King, it will result in the property of the
district becoming in demand.
During the last few months there have
been a number of eastern capitalists in
the district and nearly all have devoted
their attentions to Soda creek. Many
purchases have been made and in short
time there will be a number of companies
at work in this section.
The Coming Nation is only receiving
the annual assessment work at the pres.
ent, but it is probable that within short
time the owners of the property will be
in position to prosecute work on an ex.
tensive scale.
At any rate it is to be hoped that some
arrangements can be made for the opera
ton of the property.

Election Promises.

IfrepOrts are true the republican cand-
idate for representative makes some very
remarkable ante-electiOn promises,
about as follows:
In case of his election, he will have all
passenger trains on the Rock Island
pass through Sherman county by day
light and stopping at every station. If
either Kansas City, Topeka or Denver
demurr, because it would require trains
to arrive at and leave those cities at
night, he will, like Joshua Of old, com
mand "Old Sol"- to stand at parade
rest" until further orders Should the
antiPodes complain, he will hang another
sun in the ornament, for their accom-
mediation, 'and there shall be no night
there"
Beside this, he will have an artesisn
well put down on each quarter section
of land in Sherman county and will wa
ter the plains like a garden. He will
make the Republican aud Smoky Hill
rivers naVigsble waters, and ne will build
a ship canal from Beukelman, Nebraska,
to Sharon Springs, Kansas. The lagoon,
known as Lake Frisbee,'' will become
an inland sea, a health resort, to which
will be invited the contests of the Inter
national Regatta.
He will build cartridge factory here,
and viii grind up pops for smokeless
powder and macerate democrats into
gun wads. Ducks viii be raised extern
sively, and their ''qusck' viii be utilliz-
ed to attune whistles, horns and trum-
pets to amuse youngsters on the Fourth
of July. Under this regime, steers will
suckle calves, "lords Of the herds give
milk and COWS yield ready made cream
cry butter. The Continental Creamery
company viii go out of business and
"oleo," mixed with sand, viii be used to
stucco packing houses and out buildings
of various sorts.
The boom, if he Is elected. viii be IN
precedented in the annals of time. But
the scheme may invite the wrath of the
gods. Jupiter Pluvius will certainly be
jealous of this new divinity, stamp both
feet on Mount Olympus and exclaim
"Quid nunc! Quo vadis! Cui Yoveas?

HOW THEY SHOULD VOTE.
Continued from page II

and leave the rest to the returning
board. With proper care you need not
make any mistake.
There Is no especial ballot for railroad
men. If you are within the judicial or
congressional district you can mark the
name in the proper place. If you are
not within the legislative district write
the name in the blank column and make
a cross in the square opposite the name.
The attorney general in conclusion
says:
1T is therefore my opinion that the
railroad men voting in precincts other
than their own should not make any
change IN the form of the ballot given
them, but should write the names of
their candidates IN the blank column at
the right Of the ballot IN all cases in
which such names are not printed on
the ballot and vote for them by making
the proper cross mark"
One thing more. See that you fill out
the affidavit required by law as TO your
residence, etc. If the blanks are not at
hand the statute contains the form and
one can be written out. Attend to the
matter carefully and do not be in a hur-
~.
