the law are limited to 300 feet in width
on each side of the center OF the lode or
ledge and where the lode or ledge is of
greater width, so that the outcroppings
extend beyond the side line, another
claim may be located on same which will
carry with it all surface rights within its
boundaries, and underground extra lat
eral rights, subject to those of the older
claim; and where the end line planes Of
the two claims are not parallel, or do not
coincide, the second locator may follow
the vein in it's dip between the planes Of
his own end lines wherever not included
between the end line planes Of the senior
location, as against any subsequent loca-
tor along the lode beyond an end line Of
the first claim. It is settled law in the
federal courts that, where an action at
law is tried by the court, its findings
upon questions of fact are conclusive,
and that the only matters renewable IN
the appellate court are the rulings of
the court on questions Of law, when
properly presented by the bill Of excep-
tions, and, where special findings are
made, whether the facts found are suffic-
lent to sustain the judgment.

Noonan e. Co., lessees of the Bon Tor
mine, Eureka district, are taking out
lead ore from that vein which is giving
very satisfactory values.
Preparations are being made to sink
the main shaft on the Ingalls, mine, on
Quartz hill, now down $50 feet, further
depth of 100 feet.
Stephens Bros. of Russell gulch keep
up regular shipments OF ore from the
Gem mine, north OF the Topeka mine, in
RUSSELL from which they receive very
good results.
There are SO many complications in
the reported suit OF the Venture corpo-
ration against the Stratton estate that
its success is extremely doubtful. 1t is
not probable to salt mine, with
so experienced mining engineer as MIR.
Rickard in charge.
Idaho Springs News: The Newton
adit was finished on October 1, when
connection was made with the fourth
level. All Newton ore will now come
through the tunnel instead of the shaft.
The ore can be trammed directly from
the tunnel into the sorting rooms of the
ore house. The tunnel drains the upper
workings of the mine. The engineers
surveying the tunnel and the level COM
puted the direction of each with exact
ness that the point where the two con-
meet is scarcely perceptible.
The Gold Investment company will re-
sumo work on the West Calhoun mine,
in Russell district.
The lumber is on the ground for new
shaft building on the Waltham mine in
Willis gulch, Russell district, and has
been connected with the main track of
the Gilpin tramway.
