The following is the text of the new
mining law recently passed by congress:
"That section 1922 Of the revised stat
utes is hereby amended to read as fol-
lows:
"'Section 1922. Locators OF mining To-
cations hereafter made on any mineral
vein, lode, ledge or mineral deposit. stu
ated on the public domain containing
gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin, copper or
other valuable deposits, their heirs or as
signs, where no adverse claim exists at
the passage Of this act, so long as they
comply with the laws of the United
States and the state and territorial regu-
lations not in conflict with the laws of
the United States, governing their poss-
essory title, shall have the exclusive
right Of possession and enjoyment OF all
the surface included within the lines OF
their location, and Of all veins, lodes,
ledges and mineral deposits throughout
their entire depth which lie within such
surface lines extended downward verti.
cally Such location shall be in rectan-
gular form and shall not exceed 1900 feet
in length on either the end or side lines
thereof: provided that irregularly shaped

FINE GOLD SPECIMENS.

Saturdays Denver News says that r
L. Martin Of Gilpin county, Friday pre-
serted the department OF mines at the
state house with 100 pound sack Of flo 9
ores, mostly gold. The specimens are
among the incest that have been re-
ceived for some time. Officials of the
department deny that there is any dan
ger Of any being taken. They say that
no ore has been stolen in the past five
years.

ORE SHIPMENTS

The ore shipments for the second week
in the present month from Black Hawk
to Denver, Golden and other points.
containing smelling ore, crude ore, and
concentrates was 81 cars as agains. 80
cars the previous week, or 1910 tons.
The total fof the two weeks foots up
37l0 tons. A good showing for the first
half Of what is considered as short
month Of the year.

NEWS AND NOTES.

William F. and William r. Robinson
and Lewis II. France have organized the
Williams mining company with q capital
OF 10000, to operate in Gilpin comfy,
on the Williams mine in Lake district.
Parties who are prospecting on Ralston
creek last Sunday brought in specimens
OF float quartz picked up by them last
week. The font had evidently broken
of the outcroppings Of vein which this
week they have been endeavoring to find.
The slide matter lies deep where the
doat was picked up.

MINE LEASING.


Under the above caption the Mining
Reporter very aptly says that there are
two recognized systems OF mine leasing
In one of these the owner, whether COM
pany or individual, retains absolute con-
troll OF the property and exercises gen.
eral supervision over all operations. The
| owner or representative directs the gen.
eral course OF the work and often fur
nishes the supplies and does the hoist
ing. The lessee breaks down the ore,
which is usually sold on company &C.
count and the proceeds divided between
the owner and lessee on an agreed per
centage. When dead work is required
it is usually done under contract at an
agreed price per foot. This tribute plan
OF mining has long been in practice at
Georgetown and Central City, Colorado.
The other plan involves time lease
which gives the lessee possession OF the
property, control OF its equipment and
direction Of its operations. In the case
Of five or ten year lease the lessee Of
ten installs expensive machinery on his
own account and carries out his own
plaLs of development as well as produc-
ton.
These are the pronounced types OF the
two systems, but there are methods be-
tween the two which vary slightly from
both.
In general it may be said that any
plan which protects the rights of. both
lessor and lessee, and gives the latter an
equitable show, results in developing a
mining district to the best advantage.
The lessee is usually practical miner
he is after the ore and will use his best
intelligence and experience to get it. But
here the interests of the owner should
come in to see that the mine is developed
on plan that has proper regard for
future operations as well as present pro-
duction. These various leasing plans
clothe the lessee with certain degree of
proprietorship and responsibility, both
OF which develop in man the best that
there is in him.

The Unexpected lode in Lake district
owned by Boston parties is being worked
| for the owners under the management Of
Stephen Hoskin. The outlook is most
I favorable.
Last Thursday DR.. Ii. P. Davies OF
this city. who owns the Lullaby group OF
mines at the Twelve Mile diggings, north
west of this city, near Elk park, paid
them visit, accompanied by party of
practical miners. The doctor is arrang-
irg to resume work upon the group.
Regular shipments OF smelling and
stamp mill ore are being made daily from
the Specie Payment mine on Belleyieu
mountain. The mine is improving with
every foot of development work il re-
ceives.
Another shipment OF Hampton ore has
been made to the Carpentes smelter at
Golden. That portion of Russell gulch
is receiving great deal of development
work. Another good mine that is show
ing up we'll is the Herschel.
Sinking has been resumed on the In
gleborg lode on Winnebago hill. Since
plant of machinery was placed on the
mine the water is now handled without
interfering with the miners engaged in
sinking.
II. c. Bolsinger and Richard Pearce
ARE removing the machinery and build
ing from the Shafts mine op Jones
mountain TO the Shafts Extension mine
on Kings fats. They expect to put on
more miners when this work is COM
|pleted, which will be next week
The city council at its regular meeting
last Monday evening granted Mr.. Men
denhall the privilege of washing dirt in
the fiume between the Tierney house and
Bobtail tunnel crossing on Gregory
street, he to pay the city Eve per cent of
the gold recovered.
A switch is being put in from the
main track of the Gilpin tramway to the
English-K Kansas mine on Quartz hill. Ore
Is now being sent away from that prop
Ierty to the stamp mills in Black Hawk

STRIKE IN THE GREGORY

Arthur Milett who is tributing in the
400 foot level Of the Gregory Second lode
on Bates hill, last week opened up two
inches OF smelling ore which forms a
cleavage to the hanging wall, an assay
from which made at the Cyclops assay
Office gave values Of 59.70 ounces gold,
and 26.30 ounces silver per ton, a com
mercial value Of sll47.15 per ton.

STILL WORKING

The employees OF the Boston & Denver
Consolie ated Gold Mining and Milling
company have taken hold Of that prop
erty and will apply the money taken out
by them on the back pay roll, the bal
~ance to be applied on the coal bill and
other supplies needed in continuing the
work. 1t is said in Black Hawk by
those conversant with the affairs OF the
company that money will be raised in
the east and all back indebtedness will
be paid up by the company. One good
feature about the late unpleasantness is
that the pumps were not pulled out OF
the Incline Gregory shaft. Should this
occur it would prove disastrous to other
mines as it would drown them out OF the
lower workings Of large number.
LITTLE KINGDOM MINING COMPANY
Such is the name OF a company who
own group OF 7eins on the west side Of
Nsrth Clear Creek below the Fleiss
ranch. The properties carry ore Of ga
lenous character, the values being gold,
silver, lead, zink and copper, the trend Of
the veins being to the south. They have
been opened by tunnels. There are eight
veins in the group viz: the Chaffee. Eta,
Maggie, Mabel, Mary, William Penn,
Liberty Bell and Teddy II. Application
for government patent on the first seven
named having been made, they being sit
uate in Pleasant Valley district. The
Teddy r is situate IN Lake district. The
titles are undisputed, being held in com.
pliance with the mining laws by purchase
or lease and bond. They are located on
steep mountains where in continuing the
tunnels depth is rapidly attained ON the
velns. The properties lie close to the
railroad and are easily reached by wagon
thus facilitating the transportation OF
ore to the mill and smelter. The smelt-
ing ore gives values Of from s2614 up to
s106.88 per ton. With proper business
like management the properties can be
madc very profitable. All that is TO.
quired is greater depth to fhe veins,
which will be attained as the tunnels are
carried beyond their present headings
The stock Of the company when disposed
Of forms a development fund which will
be used for that purpose only. Tho
stock Get aside for that purpose amounts
to oD1sOO0 and is now selling Mt 10 cents
a share. The officers Of tho company are
L. II. Flanders, president; j. A. Linds-
10y, vice president; G. B. Dotte, secre-
tafy; L. H. Flanders, general manager;
