Humboldt Hill.

The copious rainfall of last week has
thoroughly soaked this section of the
county.
A delegation of merry making friends
headed by Miss Beach, the genial school
man of Lamartine, very much surprised
K. E. Seaman at his cabin home the other
night.
Frank c. Smith, accompanied by Mrs.
Smith, his wife, and Miss Hattie Kram
and Miss Mabel Lee, all of Denver, spent
few days at the home of the Humboldt
mine last week. Mr.. Smith is going to
erect handsome cottage, for which the
foundation is now being built, on the
Emma Jane lode, for the accommodation
of the eastern summer tourists. The
beauties of Ute creek, with its heavy
pine forests, has great attractions for
summerites.
Two carriage loads of eastern stock
holders visited the Silver Horn, located
on Ute creek near the famous Humboldt,
last week, chaperoned by Joe Boyd, the
manager of the mine.
The M. and M, under the management
of Michael Pender, has opened up an
other handsome streak that assays $I2o
to the ton. This mine is on Ute creek
near the Silver Horn.

Active Work to Be Resumed BY Hyatts-
vile Mining Company.

Judge Whiting, manager of the Hyatts-
vile Mining company, which is operat-
ing up Soda creek, is making arrange
ments for the further development of his
property The company has three PROM
1sing claims, the Herman, the Gold
Eagle and the Herusker. The latest as
says from the ores taken out gave seven
ounces of gold.
The tunnel on the property is now in
500 feet, and it is the intention of the
manager to drive it 500 more feet Just as
soon as possible. When this distance is
reached it is the opinion of experts who
have examined the premises that large
paying bodies of ore will be encountered.
new tunnel is to be started from a
considerable distance down the noun
tain, on the Cherusker lode, which will
be driven for the purpose of cutting the
old Lexington, one of the well-knowu
producers of this district.
From the beginning of work on these
claims the indications were most promis-
ing. The tunnel when it had reached
depth of only twenty-five feet gave re-
turns OF nearly SI5o in gold to the ton,
but the streak was not of any width so it
was decided to push the work forward.
Mill runs have been made from the ore
In this property, and in every instance il
was demonstrated that with little more
development work the property could be
put on paying basis.
Judge Whiting, it is understood is
about to consummate a sale where he
will dispose of one-half interest in the
premises to a party of capitalists in the
east. If the sale goes through, as no
doubt, it will, the Soda Greek district
will be opened up and will then receive
the attention that it deserves.
The property of the Hyattsville Min
ing. company is so situated that is very
easily worked. There are no hard climbs
and good wagon road has been built up
to the mouth of the tunnel.

LARGE
VEIN is
OPENED
The James Monroe on Chicago Mountain
Has Eighteen Feet of Ore.

The biggest body of ore ever opened in
Clear Creek county is reported as being
on Chicago mountain. Thos. M. Eagan,
an old time mining man of this district
arrived in the city Wednesday night,
direct from his mine, the James Monroe,
and announced that he had opened a
vein of which I8 feet was exposed. The
ore runs SS to $40 to the ton. and several
streaks have been encountered which
give returns of 20 ounces in gold.
In opening up the vein Mr.. Eagan has
not vet reached the walls and is of the
opinion that the vein may extend for a
distance of two or three feet further.
From the returns received, through
ASSAYS, the plain ore taken right off the
dump shows a value of $40, while the
assorted ore shows $Io.8o. This in in
gold, while the silver runs high.
Mr.. Eagan has had hold of this prop
erty for the last three years. He has al
ways contended that the greatest ore
bodies in this district would be found on
Chicago mountain. He has only worked
on the development of the mine at odd
times, being satisfied with other claims
which he has had in charge An incline
shaft has been sunk a distance of fifty
feet near the bottom of the gulch. and
by driving on depth of 75o feet will be
reached.
The ore from the James Monroe is
amalgamating, and is easily handled. Two
men working on the property could
knock down enough to supply every mill
in Idaho Springs and keep them running
continually. It is soft and therefore
blasting will be easy.
Already the owner has received many
Aattering offers from well to do mining
men who are desirous of securing posses
sion of the premises. 1t has been known
to favored few for some time that Eagan
was at work on something good, but the
secret never leaked out. 1t is quite evil
dent that these people have been lying
in wait, knowing full we'll that there was
plenty of time in which to make arrange
inents for securing possession of the prop
erty.
Mr.. Eagan says that he will not at
tempt to work the ore bodies himself.
but will turn it over to parties with plenty
of capital for carrying on such an enter
prise. "I would not attempt to handle
that property" said he. "In the first
place it would take great deal of money
and as I have other claims which need
attention, 1 will content myself with
them. But you can rest assured that no
time will be lost in taking out the ore and
pushing the development work. The
parties I have interested will install a

French Flag Sold.

The French Flag, an extension of the
Silver age, has been sold. The deal was
closed several days ago and the property
turned over to Stephen Harper and Fred
Harris, who represent a syndicate of
Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs cap
italists. A plant of machinery has al
ready been purchased and work will
commence at once. Messrs. Harper and
Harris arrived the city last Saturday and
went at once to the property for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the in
stallation of the machinery which will be
here in few days. Mr.. Harper is an
old time mining man of this district,
having resided here up till about three
years ago when he left for Cripple
Creek.

Rich Ore in Specie Payment.

The Specie Payment and Little Annie
claims on Bellvue mountain are reported
as being in rich ore. A party who arrived
in Idaho Springs the first of the week
from that locality says that the ore bins
are all full, and that the ore will average
IL ounces in gold. A foot of solid ore
has been encountered and the mine is
being worked as rapidly as possible.

AT HOME
Golden Smelter Not Profitable Factor for
Local Mining Men.

Local Mining Men.
That the smelter in Golden has proved
itself incapable of handling low grade
ores has been demonstrated during the
last few months to the entire satisfaction
of conservative mining men.
Mine owners who shipped trial lots to
Golden, believing that better results
could be obtained from the pyritic smell
ter, have become dissatisfied, and many
are now endeavoring to have the mill
owners in this district again handle their
ores.
While the sending of ore to Golden did
not materially hurt the mill operations of
this district, still it took thousands of
dollars out of the camp that rightfully
belonged here. During all this time the
mills have kept busy, and now that the
mine owners have discovered that better
results can be obtained through having
the concentrates made here, the mill men
in many instances have improved their
places and installed the latest machinery,
and in some cases the capacity has been
doubled.
Figures computed from the mills oper-
ating in Idaho Springs show that sos. SO
can be saved on every 100 tons of ore
treated here instead of being sent to Col
den. This is after an allowance of 10
per cent is made on presumed loss.

Active Work at Freeland.

Much work is being done at Freeland
and that vicinity. The Gum Tree, which
is in good ore and has been closed down
for some time has force of men at work
and ore is being shipped, This is an old
producer and considerable money has
been taken out.
1t is reported that the Falu will be
started up some time next week. This
property is well known and is said to be
in rich ore.

The Section mine has asked for an in

from proceeding with its work in the
drift and level in which it is now en-
ployed. The Seaton people claim that
the Pine Shade has practically no prop

Goldsmith proposes to push his case and
has given it careful attention before be-
ginning the fight. 1t will be heard in
chambers at Golden before Judge De

when the Freeland Extension mine was

has added over quarter of million to
the worlds wealth in the past. Idaho
Springs has reason to feel proud of the
success of her home company. Stock
sales are heavy and we understand that
the amount left for sale is not very
generous one. On this the price will un-
doubtedly be advanced within the next
thirty days.

in such a way that everyone
who sees the proposition is pro-

character of work done. A gas
oline engine and blower have
been installed to furnish good
air for the mine, and the total
cost of the proposition to date
will not exceed 5000.
Besides the original tunnel

The distance to be driven will
be less than two miles and the

of its success.

remains that it requires time and capital
to place mine on a paying basis. The
Argus started with the advantage in its
favor. The property was purchased and
paid for by home people, so that every
purchaser of stock was guaranteed some
thing for his holdings. 1t is managed by
a man who knows it thoroughly as he has

Success Of a Home Mining COmpanyA

The success of Idaho Springs
only home mining company,
the Argus, has become a mat
ter of general comment, not
only in the district but in the
state. Twelve years ago J. J.
Hoban located dozen claims
on Gold hill, opposite the great
Matte, General Thomas, New
ton and others on the north and
the famous old Lexington on
the south. He realized at that
time that the great mineral belt
running across the range at this
point cut through Gold hill, and
for that reason stuck to his
properties with a persistence
that bids fair to make him a for
tune.
Last January a party of home
people made him a proposition
to purchase the property, place
most of the stock right here at
home, and whatever would be
necessary among outside invest
ors. The deal was pending
some time before he would con-
sent to the proposition, but it
was finally closed and the Argus
Mines and Tunnel company
was organized.
Work was begun on the prop

purchaser of stock has had the guarantee
that his money would be prudently and

employed in paying fancy salaries to a
horde of officers elected and appointed

and the record of the company cannot be
equalled by any other operating in the

VAGARIES OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents in the Ocea II and Its
Arms Throughout the World.

Curious Currents in the Ocean and Its
Arms Throughout the World.
There are as many vagaries in the wa
ters as in the winds. Why, for instance.
should three great ocean currents send
their warm waters across the wide Pa
cIhc,. Atlantic and across the Cape of
Good Hope? There have been many
theories advanced to solve the problem
of their origin, but all have proved falla-
clous. Other and equally mysterious
currents exist in wellnigh all parts of
the world. The tides are so cratic in
different parts of the world that one
hesitates to accept the theory that the
moon controls them in all cases. It is on
record that the sea has run for weeks
out of the Java sea through the Straits
of Sunda and thence back again for a
like period without any perceptible rise
or fall during those times. Then there
IS the equatorial current that flows into
the Caribbean sea, the ever-howing cur
rent to the eastward around Cape Horn
the cold stream flowing from the icy re-
gions of the North past Newfoundland
ana Nova Scotia and along the American
coast to the extreme end of Florida, the
continual current running with a veloci-
ty of from four to five knots an hour
through the Straits of Gibraltar into the
Mediterranean sea, the swift current
the end of Billion island, which appar-
emily starts flom nowhere and ends
somewhere in the vicinity of the same
place, and the current which, starting
half way up the China sea, runs from
two to three knots an hour to the north
east and finally ends abruptly off the
north end Of Luzon. Shen we have those
tidal vagaries known the world over as
bores. Residents on Severn side are IA
miliar with them, and those that run I'D
the Hooghly and Irrawaddy rivers from
side to side in a zigzag shape till they
reach their limit, often tearing ships
from their anchorage, originate nobody
knows where or why. The rush of wa
tiers in the Bay of Fundy is nothing but
a huge bore sweeping all before it up to
the head of the bay till the waters have
risen to the height Of fifty or sixty feet.
OF Southampton we have the double
tides, while at Singapore it has been
observed for days at time that there
has been but the one rise and fall in the
twentyfour hours. The tides may be,
and very often appear as though they
were ''moon struck" but they certainly
are not controlled with hard and fast
rules by that or any other body.-Lon-
don Shipping World.
