time. The Waltham is well known to
those interested in mining in this sec
ton. At the present time it is pro-
ducing heavily and has been ever since
the four gentlemen mentioned above
secured possession.
From thirty to forty tons per day
have been shipped to the Golden smelter
of late, but as soon as the new shaft
house which is in course of erection
is completed and the installation of the
new machinery. the output will be in
creased to perhaps seventy-five tons.
The shaft on the property will be
sunk an additional 200 feet during the
coming winter.
The gentlemen in charge at the pres
ent time are to be congratulated upon
the success with which they have met
during the short time they have been
at work on the proposition.

The Golden Wedge in Russell Gulch
is proving to be one of the biggest
propositions in that district. Shipments
are being made regularly and the ore
is said to run as high as s14O to the
ton.
This property is owned and operated
by the Cashier Gold Mining and Re-
duction Company.
AT the Meeker shaft development
work is being prosecuted in the cross
cut from the 30O-foot level of the
workings. The vein is from three to
four feet in width and the indications
are that it will widen as more work
is accomplished. Air connections have
been made by wines between the 400
and 500-foot levels of the Pittsburg
mine and arrangements are about COM
pleted for the sinking of that shaft an
additional 100 feet.
Forty men are employed on the prop
erty and in a short time it is expected
that the force will be materially in
creased.
II the work planned turns out as ex-
pected it is the intention of the com
pany to install one of the best equipped
plants OF machinery in the entire dis
trict. The management has obtained
figures from a well known machinery
firm ealing for an expenditure of S2O.-
900.
The ore from this property is sent
to the stamp mills, sampling works
and to the Golden and Denver smelt-
ers.

The stock of the Argus Mines and Tun-
mel company, according to the statement
of those familiar with stocks on exchange
is the first one in the Idaho Springs min
ing district to be listed on a stock ex-
change.
The success of the Argus company is
theme of most generous and favorable
comment in the district 1t was organ
lied last February by home people and
the first stock sold at I2H cents per
share. Bankers, business men, merchants,
professional men and even mining men,
knowing the section in which it was To-
Gated and its proximity to such mines as
the Lexington, Little Matte, Newton,
General Thomas, Quito and others, pur-
chased the stock rapidly. Its price soon
rose in the scale to rs cents, then to 80
and at the present time it is apparently
only fairly started.
The above quotations from the Phila-
delphia Press of October a, 1909, show
where the Argus is listed among the Sc
curities and that is holding its own in
excellent shape.
1t is uuquestionably the first of the
Idaho Springs stocks to be listed and
speaks volumes for the company and for
the people interested in its progress. The
strength of the comprny lies not only in
the wonderfully rich veins in its posses
sion, which have proven values from the
surface, but in the acreage owned by it.
Thirty-four claims, aggregating nearly
.423 acres of mineral bearing ground, a
5000 foot tunnel site and ten acre mill
site constitute one of the largest mining
propositions in the district.
The officers of the company are all res
-idents of Idaho Springs and actively en-
gagged in business in the city. Over half
its stock has been disposed of to the busi-
ness, professional and mining men of the

PROMISING
PROPERTY
SECURED
Gold Cord Mining and Milling Company
to Handle West Doves Nest.


TheWest Doves Nest mine, which is
located near the Comstock, is to be
worked for all it is worth This prop
erty has ben secured by the Gold Cord
Mining and Milling Company under a
bond and lease, and it is the intention
of Charles Straub, assistant manager
of the company to see that no time
is lost in pushing development work
for the purpose of seeing just what
there is along the line of the vein.
The deal was closed on Monday of
this week by Manager Frank Straub.
The property is owned by Denver par
ties, who for some reason have neg
lected work on the property for long
time. The shaft on the property is
down eighty feet and four-foot streak
of iron ore is in sight. Assays have
been made on the ore, and while it
does not run as high as might be ex-
pected, those who have now secured
charge are of the opinion that with a
little depth values will rapidly in
crease.
Charles Straub, who will have charge
of the work to be done, states that he
will at once begin sinking the shaft an
additional 100 feet. He has had placed
on the mine a whim and the work has
already started. If after going down a
few feet there are any indications of
the values increasing, a steam plant
will be at once placed on the property.
Two shifts are being worked at the
present time. and from the manner in
which work has ben started it will only
be the mater of couple of weeks until
it will be known what there is in sight
or what the prospects are
The Doves Nest is located adjoining
the famous old Comstock, which in for
mer years was considered one of the
best propositions in the entire district.
The workings in the Comstock show
that great amount of money has been
expended, but some years ago work
the water could not be properly hand
led. In addition to this the air was
very foul, During the last three months
work has again been resumed and the
premises have been put in first class
shape. All the water has been taken
out and the necessary pipes have been
installed. 1t now gives promise of
again becoming a heavy producer
The Comstock is worked at the pres
ent time by Charles j. Hughes, the well
known corporation attorney of Denver
1t is being superintended by Colonel
Clark, well known mining man. Some
time ago it was stated that the Big Five
were negotiating for the purchase of
the property but for some reason the
deal failed to go through.

lumber and coal business. The
years of 1899 and 1900 were spent
} in New York where he was associ-
ated with others in the produce
commission business. In the spring
. of 1901 he removed to Empire this
county engaging in mining, which
is his present occupation.

IN HORSE HEAVEN.
Settlers Are Pouring Into The Place To Take
Up Home teads.


Wallula is becoming the doorway to
the Horse Heaven country in Yakima,
says residents of that town, and every
day settlers are pouring through the
place on their way to the government
lands. For years, since the time OF the
arrival of the first white men, the vast
table lands across the Columbia, known
as the Horse Heaven country, have
been used as stock ranges, and thous-
ands of horses have been raised on the
fertile plateau. But the settler has
demonstrated that the country will
grow grain as well as fatten cayuses and
is, therefore, fit for a home, says the
Walla Walla Union.
Water and fuel are the two main
less plains contain little that can be
utilized as firewood, and moisture in
quantities for pratical uses turks many
hundreds of feet beneath the surface.
However, deep wells are being drilled
and, it is said, within short time
residents OF the new country need have
no fear from water shortage. Coal and
wood can be shipped by railroad to
Prosser and Kiona and transported to
the farm houses in wagons.
few farmers have resided in the
Horse Heaven for number of years
and have demonstrated that the land
will produce grain and hay in paying
quantities. But peculiar thing is
noticeable. Changers pillow their fields
but once every two or three years. One
of them said:
"The soil is too light. 1t packs it to
piow it and we get just as good, If not
better, results by planting our grain on
the ground with drill. The yield Of
volunteer wheat is generally good. In
threshing with a combined harvester
enough grain is generally shattered to
make a good stand of fall wheat. The
winters are not severe, as a rule, and
there is practically no danger OF a
freeze-out."
The Horse Heaven country contains
over a million acres of land and during
the past quarter the Yakima land office
has reported over 900 acres taken as
homesteads.

A Pythian Pilgrimage.

One of the big movements of history

the United States in August next, when
from all directions they will advance on

tional convention OF the order, which is
held every two years, will take place in
San Francisco, August 10th to Goth, and
great times are promised all the knights
and their ladies who go there at that
time. All sorts OF side trips are planned,
incidentally, including sights OF the
orange groves and the olive and prune
and almond orchards of the great Pacific
state, and glimpses of Lake Tahoe, one
OF the highest lakes in the world, way
up in the Sierra OF far-famed Yosemite,
OF Hotel del Monte; OF the Lick OBJ

worth seeing and knowing about. Just
now the nation with its oriental respon-

THE DELACEY BILL.
What an Old Stockman Thinks Of the Meas
ure-Best for the Present


EDITOR HERALD: Replying to your
request asking my views on the DeLacey
bill, granting grazing privileges to home
stead settlers and holders of small farms
in the arid and semi-arid regions and
for other purposes, will say that per-
sonally do not favor the leasing of the
public domain. In the northwestern
states these lands are being rapidly set
tied upon, as the land offices OF the
several districts will show, and the con-
trolling of these leased lands along the
lines that this bill intends will be diff
cult. Neither do l believe by such
leasing that the public grazing lands
will be materially benefited, as the
majority of those who lease these lands
will pasture it just as hard as if it had
been grazed in common, as the length
OF time the lease would be in force
would be so short five years) that the
lessee would try and get all benefits
possible before the lease expired, and
fully believe that the leasing system
will never accomplish what the govern
ment hopes-the better protection Of
the public grazing lands of the govern
ment.
Having been raised in a range country
and grazer for 40 years, my observa-
ton leads me to the following conclu-
sions: That the public grazing lands
can only be benefited by restricted
grazing; that the native grasses of the
different states must be relied on for
restoring and reseeding the public
ranges; that the government should
enact such laws and regulations that
would check the destructive overgrazing
that is now being carried on, and the
quicker this is done that much earlier
will it be possible to again bring back to
usefulness the grazing lands of the
government. The principal source of
destruction is the result OF sheep graz
ing, as it is well-known fact that
wherever they Craze the native grasses
are destroyed.
Canada has good regulations governing
grazing. Sheep are not allowed to roam
over the whole public domain, but have
their allotted grazing districts to which
they are confined.
With the threatened destruction of
the public ranges, the grazing question
is up for settlement, and l believe that
the government will try the leasing
system, thinking it the best way out of
the difficulty. Therefore this bill comes
nearer protecting the settler than any
that has so far been introduced.
