cunnl.on County Mine Sold.

Tho contamination of the sale of the
Excelsior and Yankee Blade mines on
Cascade mountain to the Black Queen
Gold Mining company Of Cripple Creek
means much for the future Of the North
Gunnison country. These famous old pro-
ducers arc aftcr years ofidlenesa to have
modern mining methods applied and
none who is familiar with their past re-
cords and the personel OF the new COM
pany, will doubt that the revival will be
permanent. 1t is matter OF surprise
that the big mineral veins in the Elk
Mountain section were 30 long over
looked by the mine makers and a matter
for congratulation that they have fallen
into such strong hands at last.
The purchasers Of the Excelsior and
Yankee Blade are the officers of the
nearby Augusta, which since work was
commenced last July has proven one OF
the bonanza ore veins of the state. The
problem at this mine during the winter
will be how to store the ore until trans
portation is possible. Every foot of
work done in the upper tunnel increases
the perplexity while establishing that the
ore bodies in the section increase both
in width and value with depth. The deep
tunnel that is to provide an outlet for the
ores throughout the year is being driven
rapidly with air drills and by next sum-
mer the problem Of mining and market
ing the ores to profit will have been
solved on the Augusta. The ores being
saved range in value from $50 to S120 a
ton.
After their success with the Augusta
it was not surprising that the projectors
Of the Augusta company should turn
their attention to such important mines
as the Excelsior and Yankee Blade. Both
have produced many thousands of dol
lars worth of ore. There is every reason
to expect that results similar to those on
the Augusta will be met as soon as the
plans for their development can be car
ried out. An exit tunnel will be driven
during the winter months to cut the
Baxter ore chute at 800 feet depth.
When the workers in the Baxter Basin
we're driven out by water they were
mining ores that averaged around s75 a
ton. The new tunnel will fully drain the
basin and at the same time give an out
let to the ores while opening several
hundred feet Of STOPPING ground.
People here who know the mines and
have observed the energy and intelli-
gence with which the new operators
have taken hold of the propositions are
confident Of great results from both en-
terprises. The northern portion of this
county is at last to be realized for what
it is-one Of the great mineral sections
of the world.-Denver Mining Record.

Gov. Orman's call for an extra
session of the legislature recites
seven different subjects that may
be considered, several of which
will admit of the introduction of
many bills of diverse relations.
The governor has exceeded all ex-
pectations by opening SO wide a
gate for new legislation. 1t guar
antees protracted session, for
considering the rate of progress
ordinarily made by such bodies, it
will be impractic able for the legis-
lature to consider and dispose of
these matters in a few weeks. The
expense of the session will be enor-
mously increased thereby and the
people will be saddled with bur
dens they should not be compelled
to bear. 1t is improbable that any
success will be achieved in the at
tempt to frame revenue law, and
yet it is likely that the considera-
ton of bills upon the subject will
occupy the greater part of the time
the session may continue.

trict. The Ruby Mining company
is at present operating the proper
ty in conjunction with others in
the vicinity. j. K. Hallowen is
the local representative, and is
making preparations to do exten-
sive mining the coming summer.
Mr.. Hallowell is geologist of
acknowledged ability, and the
PILOT will in the future be the
recipient of q series of scientific
articles on the geological formation
of the Irwin district.
PROSPECTS.
In the country surrounding Ir-
win are hundreds of promising
prospects, which, if the necessary
facilities were at hand for treating
the ore, would at least be paying
wages to the owners and the expen-
ses of development required to
prove the value of the claims.
-Four miles to the northwest of
Irwin lies the Silver Basin in
which several good properties are
located, and would no doubt be
working were it not for the cost of
transportation. One and one-half
miles to the north OF town in the
Susquehanna Basin is the Indepen-
dence mine. Jas. G.. Blaine and
Lieut. Governor Tabor considered
themselves fortunate, when in 1880
they paid $65, 900 for half inter-
est in this property, which was then
a producer, and no valid reason can
be given why it should not be at
the present time.
ANTHRACITE COAL.
Contiguous to the great silver
veins of Irwin lies the greatest an
thracite coal beds that have ever
been discovered between Pennsyl-
vania and the Pacific coast. The
Ruby coal mine which is owned by
the @. F. e. 1. company produces
a quality of fuel, which according
to U. s. mint analysis, is superior
to the eastern product. The fol-
lowing is comparison of severe
analysis of both materials: Ruby.
fixed carbon, SO; water and volatile
matter, 2; ash 5; total 100. Penn
sylvania coal, analysed by Prof.
Hayden: fixed carbon S8.O46; ash
1861; water and volatile matters
1881. There is as yet thousands
of acres of coal measures in this
vicinity that are undeveloped, and
only await the completion of rail
roads that will furnish an outlet to
the markets of the western states
to become one of the greatest coal
camps in the country.
NATURAL RESOURCES.
Taking it for granted that the
Irwin district must depend solely
on the mining industry it would be
well to inquire as to the natural
resources that would tend to aid in
the development of the latent
wealth of the community. The
most important factor in the build
ing up of mining camp is mine
and saw timber. In the vicinity of
Irwin are forests of both that are
inexhaustible. The Cal Colo. S.
M. & M. company, which controls
the Ruby Chief group, have taken
up large bodies of fine timber land,
and are operating saw mill near
Irwin. Several hundred thousand
feet of excellent lumber was mark
eted during the last season at a
handsome profit to the company.
The supply of mine timber is un-
limited, and of the best variety.
Next in importance to mining
community is the necessary water
power for the operation of power
plants. No where in the state does
more favorable conditions exist for
utilizing mechanical energy in the
nature of water power, than it does

LEAD CHIEF AND LITTLE CHIEF.


overlooking beautiful Lake Bren-
nand, are the Lead Chief and Lit
tie Chief. The veins run parallel
and are close enough together to
be embraced in the 800 feet allow
ed one location. The Lead Chief
was discovered July l, 1879, by A.
L. Gilkison under circumstances
even more interesting than that of
the Ruby King and the Forest
Queen. Gilkison had tried his
luck in the mines of various states
and territories of the west for
many years, but up to that time
with very poor success, and was
really in very poor circumstances.
He had loaded his effects in a
wagon at Gothic preparatory to
starting on his journey
to the old home in the east. Upon
going to the pasture for his team
he found one of the animals dead.
He had no money or credit and
consequently could not buy an
other. Leaving his family with
the few provisions there was on
hand, he made his way to Irwin in
search of employment. Near
where the buildings of the Lead
Chief now stand, Gilkison and
his companion, R. A. Duncan, sat
down to eat a scanty lunch. Be-
coming thirsty they took occasion
to go down to the ecreek few yards
distant for drink. On the way
down he noticed an inviting ledge
that had been laid bare by the
horse hoofs. 1t was prospected
and the Lead Chief discovered, and
soon its marvellously rich ore at
tracted the attention of capitalists.
Gilkison and Duncan realized
$50, 900 each from the sale of the
property few months later. The
Little Chief was discovered by
the two little sons of Gilkison,
aged seven and nine years respec-
lively, while their father was work
ing in the Lead Chief. This last
discovery was sold for handsome
sum and it is believed by many to
be the mother lode. These prop
critics were shippers in The early
days, and from accounts that were
given at that time the ore they
produced was high grade and
found in large quantities. The
mine has lain idle for several years,
being tied up in litigation, as is the
case with many good mines in the
country. The development work
consists of 800 feet of shaft, with
all the necessary machinery for
operating the same. The present
owners are the Gurley Bros. of
Denver.
BULLION KING.
One mile west of Irwin lies the
Bullion King and Monte Christie,
discovered in July, 1879, by Ute
Bros. and McCloud, and sold in
December to j. 81. Haverly and
company, for $1o3,cOO. This is
probably the only mining camp in
the world where mines have sold
for such enormous sums of money,
with So little development work
done on the property. The Bull
lion King. when it sold for the sum
stated had only an open cut twelve
feet deep on the claim. This prop
erty is at present owned by the Bull
lion King Mining company, OF
Easton, Penn, and has lain idle
since the disastrous snow slide in
the winter of 1891-92, when several
lives were lost. The improvements
consist of shaft 300 feet deep,
and good plant of hosting ma
chinery. The mine can be made
producer on paying basis at
any time the owners SO desire.

in the outcome of the Ohio demo-
cratic state convention in 1903 and of
the national democratic convention
in 1904, and his friends are making

SIDED WITH STRIKERS.
Soldiers Used Their influence to Persuads
Workers to Quit-HaFIIHhips Endured
by the Strikers Families.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Sept. IAN
unexpected situation has resulted
from the ordering out of the national
guard to preserve order in the coal
fields. The soldiers, whose sympathy
was all with the strikers from the
first, have used their influence with
the men who are at work and have
persuaded SO many of them to join
in the strike that the detachment
stationed at Rush Run had to be re-
called and sent to another point to
keep it from emptying the mine.
Hundreds of families were sleep
ing last night under the skies. 1t is
estimated that over 1000 families
have been evicted in the New River
valley and most of them had no
place to go. Some had friends and
secured shelter, but the majority are
homeless, without even so much as
a tent to shelter them, and there is
talk of a subscription to buy tents
for them. Food is scarce with them
and the condition of the men is pitt
able it the extreme. Some of the
soldiers have even shared their food
provided by the state with the fam
lilies of the men who are in the strike
and hungry.

w. j. Frey, chairman of the state
central committee, delivered an adj
dress dealing with campaign work in
the state. The platform, dictated by
Tom L. Johnson, unequivocally in
dorses the democratic national plat
form in these words:
I'm state convention assembled we,
the democrats of Ohio, hereby ac-
knowledge and declare our continued
allegiance to the democratic party of
the nation and on national issues re-
affirm and endorse the principles laid
down in its last national platform
adopted at Kansas City and fully and
ably represented in the presidential
campaign of 1900 by William Jen-
nings Bryan. Regarding those prin-
ciples as opposed to imperialism and
colonialism, as opposed to govern
ment by injunction, as opposed to
trusts and trust-fostering tariffs, as
opposed to financial monopoly and as
opposed to all other legalized mo-
nopolies and privileges, we condemn
every effort to repudiate or ignore
them"

Mr.. Bryan took hold of the man and
pulled him off his beaten antagonist.
The big man drew a knife and re-

party. He was at once seized and
disarmed before he could do any
harm. Mr.. Bryan was the first to
reach him. The man, who was
drunk, fought desperately, but the

Democrats Refused to Mention 1t
In Their Platform.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. At IL
o'clock yesterday State Chairman
Mcconnell called the state demo-
cratic convention to order in the
new auditorium. The state ticket
was named by reclamation and the
convention adopted a platform which
makes no mention of free silver or
the national declaration of the party
at Kansas City. This is the first
time the Iowa democrats have ig-
nored the silver question since the
Dubuque convention of 1895, when
free silver at ratio of 16 to 1 was
specifically indorsed. The result
yesterday was reached at the con-
clusion of protracted contest,
when by vote of 3s4 to 344 the
convention refused to amend the re-
port of the majority of the commit
tee on resolutions by inserting a
plank reafirming the Kansas City
platform.

to end the anthracite strike. Mr.
Stone is said to believe that by these
means an end of the strike could be
made in less than 80 days. The plan
he proposes is a compulsory arbitra-
ton law. The scheme involves
sweeping application of the principle
of the injunction, both against capt.
