Adventurous Life on the Briny Led
by = J~erseyman.

Word has been received In Newark, N. j.,
of the death Of Captain Bernard Cogan,
a former Newarker, who had led an ad-
venturous seafaring life for nearly nifty
wears. While voyaging from the Arctic re-
gions TO San Francisco this month he was
swept overheard and drowned.
In his Youth. relates the New York Press,
CAPTAIN Cogan lived in Congress street,
Newark. He went on his frst voltage on
October 80, 1853. For many years he was
a whaler, and gradually rose in rank until
he became master Of a vessel.
He had been first mate of a craft com
manded by Captain ,Brinkerhoh. who was
entlced on shore by natives on the st. Law
renee islands and murdered. Cogan took
charge Of the vessel and navigated II to
New Bedford, via Honolulu. Then he came
home and shortly afterward married a
Miss Smith of Newark.
Captain Cogan voyaged much in Arctic
waters, and when the Greedy relief expedi-
ton was organized he was called to Wash
ington and gave valuable advice as to the
force and direction Of the currents in the
Polar sea. At that time he is said to have
penetrated farther north than any other
white man, outside OF those who had gone
on expeditions whose purpose was the quest
OF the pole.
In the sos. while in Alaskan waters,
Captain Cogan befriended an old Eskimo,
who showed his gratitude by giving him a
piece of quartz and offering to show him
the main deposit. This was three or four
weeks journey inland, and the captain had
no time to go in quest Of it then, as he did
not want his vessel to become ice-locked
for the winter. He took the quartz to New
York and had II assayed. II ran about
81 200 to the ton.
Captain Cogan enlisted the aid of his
friend, John Reilly of Newark. in fitting up
an expedition to the gold country, and In
the following year set out for Alaska with
a mining expert. After a long and weary
journey they reached the country. only To
find the aged Eskimo dead. He left his
sons in possession Of the secret, and they
refused to divulge II. After futile attempts
10 learn where the gold-bearing tract was
located the expedition had to return empty
handed.
About fourteen years ago Captain Cogau
moved from Newark to California, where
he met with financial reyerses. He con
tinued whaling and gold seeking until his
death.

Lawson Briefs.
nlent work

R. J. Hardness of Boulder is here for a
few days looking after his mining in
terests.
Phillip Fisher of the S. & S. Mining
company left the first of the week for
Salt Lake city, where he will meet parties
who are interested in consolidating the
Red Elephant group of mines with the
S. & S. company and others. The con-
solidation of these properties means
much for Lawson We understand that
all details are arranged and that work
on the property will probably be started
up as soon as the transfer is made.
The writer is informed that the first
payment on the purchase price of The
Sisters property has been made and that
the purchasers will take possession on
September 1, when vigorous development
will begin, both in The Sisters mine and
Burton tunnel. Under the new arrange
ment Mr.. Burton steps down and out and
the whole property passes to the new
company, who propose to do a large
amount of development work.
Other deals of considerable magnitude
are progressing and we shall soon have

New Machinery Ordered and Shaft to Be

Sunk Thousand Feet.
The Waltham mine is to be equipped
with 34-horse power Fairbanks & Morse
gasoline engine The machinery was
ordered on Wednesday of this week and
in the course of few days will be in
stalled on the premises,
1t is the intention of Messrs. Tanner.
Anderson and their associates, who hold
a lease and bond on the property, to at
once begin the sinking of shaft which
is TO 60 down for depth of 1000 feet at
the least calculation.
For the accommodation of the machin-
cry which is to be installed it has been
found necessary to build a new shaft
house. This building will be 4oxSs feet
with gallas frame of 40 feet in the clear.
Work on this structure will begin some
as rapidly as possible.
1t is contended, and has been proven, q,
that the cost Of burning gasoline or crude
oil is about 33B per cent cheaper than
known many of the big mines in the dis
trict have taken the matter up and in a
short time there will be much of the inn
proved machinery used Already the
Bertha Mining and Milling company has
decided that crude oil shall be burned at
their premises, and the mine is now closed
down making the needed improvements.
Other companies are making arrange
ments for the purchase of gasoline en-
gines and in short time will be equipped.
The engine which was purchased by
Mr. Tanner and his associates is equipped
for the burning of either gasoline or crude
oil. The sale was made by Mr.. w. A.
Lamb, representative of the Fairbanks &
Morse company, who says that in the
course of a few days he will have closed
several more deals for engines of large
horse power.
In a previous issue we published the
details concerning the work being accom-
plished at the Waltham. Mr. Tanner,
who is experimenting the work at the
mine, is unusually successful in mining
operations. 1t is stated on good authority
that these leasers will clear in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 each from the prop
erty. 1t is in high grade gold bearing ore
and shipments are being made daily to
the Roller mill.

Work Has Been Resumed.

Active operations have again been
started on the Grand Army mine, situ-
ated up Fall river, For some time this
property has not been worked but of late
the owners have decided that indications
would warrant the further prosecution of
the development work. There is large
streak of mineral in the tunnel at the
breast, and the farther the bore is pushed
the better the results obtained
Fall River district is rapidly forging to
the front, and it is only the matter of a
short time until it will prove itself to be
one of the heaviest producing sections of

as to how the work should be accom-
plished.
Mr.. Ross is one of the best known
mining engineers in the state and has
been successful operator in different
sections of the state At one time he held
a lease on the celebrated Mary Mckinney
mine in the Cripple Creek district and
it was through the work accomplished
by him at that time that the mine became
a heavy producer.
Mr.. Ross has not as yet decided what
he will do in the future, but it is a safe
prediction to say that he will be up and
doing in a short time.

PAY ORE IN THE LILLY.
Vein Proves to Be Four Feet Wide and
Runs $40 to the Ton.

Runs $40 to the Ton.
streek of ore three feet in width and
which gives returns of SO to the ton has
been opened in the Lilly tunnel, which is
owned by the Gold Dust Mining COM
pany. The body of ore was encountered
on Wednesday of this week, and piece
of rock weighing fully fifty pounds was
brought to the city. The mineral is
highly colored with copper and has all
the appearance to the naked eye of being
rich.
This property is owned principally by
c. M. Berry of Denver and Sam Fulker-
sin of this city. 1t is a close company
and at the present time there are only
five people interested in the enterprise.
The smelling streak is about ten inches
wide while the mill ore is over three feet
in width. 1t runs nearly entirely across
the breast of the tunnel.
For some time past work has progress
ed on this property and one of the parties
who is interested claimed that they were
gradually drifting away from the ore.
The others would not listen to such a
proposition, but after some delay the man
who claimed they were losing the vein
induced the others to shoot to the left.
No sooner than the blasting had been
completed than it was discovered that
the man was right. A few more shots
told the story and now the vein points to
the left instead of the direction which
was being followed.
The Lilly is situated up Fall river and
has been worked steadily for some time.
The ore will receive treatment at an early
date and the owners will lose no time in
making it a payer.

The tunnel is now in 225 feet, and is
to be driven by contract. In the breast

Visiting From Pennsylvania.

M. ]. Healey, accompanied by the
REILLY sisters, the Misses Nettie and
Kathryn, were in the city from Wilkes
barre, Pa, this week the guests of their
old friend j. J. Hoban. Mr.. Healey is
one of the most energetic young men of
his section and has succeeded in business
affairs in most generous way. While
here he purchased extensive holdings in
the Argus tunnel and inspected it thor
oughly.
"You have one of the most progressive
and remarkably active little cities ever
visited" +" remarked Mr.. Healey. EVERY
thing indicates the excellent shape in
which the future must inevitably place
the city and district. You have not de-
veloped the mineral field yet to know
what you have, and it is my opinion that
the day is not far distant when Idaho
Springs will be known as one of the fore
most gold producing sections of the
state"
Before leaving the party spent day
at Yankee Hill where they were greatly
pleased with the scenic attractions and
the substantial nature of the mineral re-
sources of that section.

Another Good Strike.

Joseph Hyatt is feeling good this week
because the Central tunnel shot into the
Cleopatra vein on Wednesday evening
and as a result an excellent showing of
high grade ore is being exhibited. The
Cleopatra group comprises several claims
and a glance at the product indicates
that it is IN every sense excellent and
runs high in values. The galena pre-
dominates in the formation, but consid-
erable in the way of gold and silver
values should be extracted from the ore.

STRIKE
IN THE
KINDA
Big Body of Ore Opened in Property Up
Fall River.

Fall River.
A big strike was made in the Kinda
mine this week. Manager C. F. Craw-
ford, who has been in the city superin-
tending the work in progress for several
days, brought to the city several samples
OF ore which gave assays of 3. 80 ounces
in gold and 2I3. 10 ounces of silver to the
ton.
This property is situated up Fall river
and has not been worked to any great
ext mt. The tunnel is now in $50 feet,
and 1t was only short time ago that
work was resumed actively. AT that time
contract was let for an upraise, but after
the party had gone about ten feet he be-
came sick and threw up the work.
The streak of ore which was opened up
this week is about thirty inches wide
The smelling streak is twelve inches in
width and mill ore will measure about
eighteen inches. 1t was encountered in
the breast of the tunnel and at a depth of
not to exceed 200 feet.
Manager Crawford says that the ndi-
cations are that the streak will widen as
work progresses, and already he is max
ing arrangements to have the ore treated.
The mineral which is being taken out at
the present time is being carefully sorted
and placed to one side and in a few DAYS
will be transported to the mills and
smelters.
Property up Fall river appears to be
coming 10 the front. 1t has long been
claimed by expert mining men that a lit,
tie development work was all that was
needed to prove beyond doubt that this
section would become famous as a pro.
ducer. The Kinda was always considered
a promising property and no expense is
to be spared in making it big producer.
1t will be equipped with all the necessary
and improved machinery and work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible.

LEASERS

MONEY
Humboldt Mine Up Ute Creek Producing
Plenty of Mineral.

Leasers on the Humboldt mine, up Ute
For some time much work has been done
by leesing and as result many have
prohted handsomely.
Julius He'll and Mr. Johnson, who are
working in the upper tunnel, are contin-
ually making shipments and the returns
are all that could be expected.
Last week large shipment was made
and some OF the ore ran as high as twenty
two ounces in gold to the ton. This
proves conclusively that the Humboldt
IS an exceptionally fine property and that
the owners know the worth of the prop
erty.
-Four miners from Idaho Springs are
figuring on taking a lease for making an
upraise between the two tunnels If they
secure the same the work will be done on
a rs per cent royalty. The men would
rather work on this plan than do day
work, and the indications are that they
will receive good profits for the work.
The Humboldt is an old producer.
Since the new company was organized
much active work has been accomplished
under the able management of Frank
Smith. Mr.. Smith is mining man with
a good reputation, and it is said that
when he takes hold of a property he gen
