LAWSON NOTES.
ESPECIAL coRREsPoNDENcEl

Miss Kate Bennett came down from
Georgetown last week.
P. H. Stanhope and Mr.. Stephens, con-
nected with the S. & S. M. Co, were in
camp several days last week.
There are now several large tunnel
propositions working. These tunnels will
open up rich lodes at great depth. This
takes time, but in a year or so Lawson
will be one of the swiftest camps in the
county.
Miss Ida Bennett aud party of friends
attended a dance at Yankee Hill last
Saturday evening. Mrs. George Bing-
ham of Idaho Springs chaperoned the
party.
The strike made in the Merry May
lode, owned by Mrs Margaret Leash, is
proving to be valuable one. The ore
runs over SIoo to the ton. Just at present
the lode is pinched some, but is expected
to open again after driving through a
cross lode recently encountered.
The Vidler tunnel, just north of town,
projected to run through Red Elephant
mountain, is progressing as rapidly as
hand work will admit. After a little
more distance is attained, machinery will
be installed and work pushed as rapidly
as possible. This tunnel will cut Mill
creek properties over 1900 feet deep and
open up some of the best veins in the
district.
Several eastern men were in camp last
week, looking over the mines and pros
poets of the district, some of them pro-
spective purchasers of property. There
has been more strangers in the camp in
the past thirty days than for year be-
fore. The most of them want property
safe investments. There is no question
about the district being one of the safest
places to develop mining property. The
ore is high grade and the veins prospec-
ted with little expense; in fact most of
the lodes crop out on the surface and can
be worked with profit with little depth.
There is not a property in the district
that has attained depth of over 500
feet, and the production has exceeded
81 o, 600, 900. All this has been produced
by means of surface plants-mostly horse
whims and hand power.

He Likes Colorado,

There is one man in Colorado at the
present time who has had enough of
going away to mine. This man is
Thomas E. Harris, and the following is
taken from the Denver Times. Mr..
Harris is well known in this city, and he
says that the more he sees of other dis
tricts the better pleased he is with the
mines at home:

mission up in Canada, and the oftener 1

Deal On for the Comstock.

The report was in circulation this week
that the Big Five company was to secure
possession of the Comstock mine which
is in Virginia canon. While the details
have not been given out it is known that
the sale has been in progress for several
weeks. A person who ought to know
gave it out last Monday that the deal
would in all probability be consummated
in very short time. The only reason
why it had not been closed before, was
the price, which was considered a trife
high.
The Comstock is one of the oldest
properties in the district, and was pro-
ducer when this camp was in its infancy.
A short time ago Chas. J. Hughes, the

Lombard in Good Ore.

Captain Seaman is doing a large
amount of work at the old Lombard
property, recently secured for the Yankee
Consolidated company. In the tunnel
by shooting into the supposed walls he
found good ore. and drift has been run
for considerable distance. There is a
quantity of ore already blocked out.
The ores are being treated by the Lom-
bard mill and better values are being
obtained than ever before.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
W. E. Renshaw Entertaining His Father
from Pennsylvania.

w. E. Renshaw is entertaining his
father, who arrived in the city from his
home in Pennsylvania Wednesday night.
Mr.. Renshaw, Sr., arrived unexpectedly
and took his son by surprise. He did not
let anyone know that he was coming,
but made his way at once to the home of
his son, where he knocked at the door.
Mrs. Renshaw answered the bell, but as
she had only seen her father-in-law once
she failed to recognize him. The last
time she saw him he wore full beard,
but since that time he has dispensed
with that part of his makeup. The
elderly gentleman played his part we'll
and kept it up until he saw it was liable
to be taken seriously, after which he
made his identity known. OF course he
was welcome guest. During the last
two days w. E. has been driving his
father over the district, and showing
him the points of interest

Operating Up Ute Greek.

Ex-Chief of Police Farley of Denver
was in the city a greater part of the
week. Mr.. Farley is now connected
with Thiets detective agency and is
recognized as one of the greatest thief
takers in the entire West. At present he
is engaged in mining operations up Ute
creek aud announces that he is pleased
with the investments which he has
made. He is representing a syndicate of
New York capitalists, and intends in the
near future to do considerable work on
his properties.

TYPO
is NOW
A PAYER
Good Vein Opened Up and Shipping to
Start at Once.

AAe at OAA~Ns
The Typo Mines aud Tunnel company
is now shipper. During the last week
a rich strike was made in the tunnel and
on Wednesday more than a ton of gold
and silver bearing ore was on the dump,
waiting transportation to the mills.
Before the ore could be hauled to the
mil! it was necessary that a road $50
feet long be constructed. The tunnel is
now in fifty-five feet and men are at
work now in placing tracks for the cars,
which are on the ground.
J. ]. Hoban, manager of the company,
is to be congratulated upon the success
full work he has accomplished in so short
a period. Mr.. Hoban has contended for
years that Santa Fe mountain would, in
the future, prove to be one of the best
places for paying properties in the entire
district.
The Typo company was organized less
than two months ago, and the record it
has made in this brief period is most re.
markable. From the first day when
work was started on this big proposition,
the indications were that it would soon
develop into paying enterprise.
The vein from which the ore is being
taken was encountered last Monday and
it was found to have streak four inches
in width of smelling ore and another
thirteen inches wide of mill ore. The
average values run from $40 to 500 to the
ton. 1t is cross lode, but is pitching in
an angle with the tunnel, and it will
probably be necessary to drive for a dis
- tance of more than fifty feet before it
leaves the tunnel proper.
This company was organized by pool
of twenty union printers of Denver. A
great many of them have been in the
city at various times for the purpose of
making a thorough investigation of the
property. In each instance they were
more than pleased with the indications,
and as a result shares are being sold very
rapidly. During the last week more
than ten thousand shares were sold to
Denver printers, not to mention the fact
that hundreds were called far by men,
of the craft in the East.
A meeting of the board of directors
will be held in Denver the coming week,
at which time it will be decided what
shall be done to the further betterment
of the proposition. While all the. work
is being done by hand at the present
time, there is some talk of placing
Water-Leyner drills and compressors in
the tunnel in order that development
may be pushed quickly.

To Start Treatment Soon.

M. w. Tanner, who is erecting cyanide
tanks and putting in a complete process
for the treating of ores in this district,
announces that he will start operations
in few days.
The tanks are being placed in the
Roller mill, and for the present the ca
pacity will be limited to ten tons per
day. The reason why a larger plant was
not constructed, was on account of the
desire of those interested to be sure and
secure the best method of treatment.
The ore from the Waltham mine will be
treated exclusively, and if the system
proves to be good saver a large plant
will be erected.
Mr.. Tanner says that while he feels
confident he will be able to make big
ger saving than any mill in the district,
that he wants to be sure as to results,
and has accordingly limited the amount
that can be treated to ten tons. "If we
are successful in our undertaking" said
he, 1--WE will at once commence the con-
struction of plant that will be capable
of handling fully 100 tons per day.
This is simply test, but at the same
time feel sure as to the results"
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-08-02
Little Albert.

The Little Albert mine, of which
Charles Brandstetter is manager, expects
within a few days to open up a large
body of ore. During the last month an
unusual amount of development work
has been accomplished. In the first
drift the character of the rock has
changed considerable and is now becom-
ing harder. The walls are Strengthening
and all appearances are that strike will
soon be made at this junction with
another lode. During the last week the
second drift was driven nearly ten feet,
and while it was a little broken up, it is
continually getting wider and larger
Solid ore is expected to be broken into
almost every day. The streak now is
three feet wide and the assays gives good
returns. Hard rock at the bottom of the
breast of the tunnel was encountered
but it is now getting softer and is fur
nishing a great deal of water. Mr.
Brandstetter is of the opinion that in a
couple of weeks enough high grade ore
will be ON the dump to warrant the COM
pany shipping.

LEAP
YEAR
BONDED
Gold Coin NJ. & S. Co. Secures This Lode
Under Bond and Lease.

The Gold Cord Mining and Smelling
company has secured under bond and
lease property which has the ear-marks
of being good one. The Leap Year
lode, which is owned by James E. Haman
of Alaska and Wm. Scown of Idaho
Springs was, on Monday, turned over to
the Gold Cord people, and in the future
it will belong to the company's group of
promising properties. The deal was en-
gineered by c. S. Birkins, attorney in
fact, for the owners.
This property has belonged to the
above named gentlemen for long length
of time and they have done considerable
development work. However the work
has not been of such a nature as to make
it payer, but now that company with
plenty of backing has possession, there
can be little doubt as to the result.
The property is situated near the Lex
ington Extension, and the tunnel is now
in about 200 leet. Fifty pounds of ore
were taken from the 2oo-foot level and
the returns gave nine and twenty-four
one-hundredths ounces of gold and
twenty-four ounces in silver to the ton.
The Gold Cord Mining and Smelling
company, which is operating the New
Lexington group and bond and lease
on the Lexington group at this place, are
pushing work as rapidly as possible
This company some time ago secured a
2o-stamp mill and concentrating plant,
but it was found necessary to make
many changes in the machinery and to
re-arrange the concentrating tables in
order to properly handle the mineral
which is being taken from the Lexing-
ton group. The tunnel on the large vein
of the Lexington mine is now in 700 feet
and has an ore body exposed the entire
distance. The mineral is of low grade
and it was found that only by skillful
management in the operation of the mill
can profit be made. Upon experiment
ing, it was discovered that the uneven
motor of the water wheel which gave
power to the stamps, would not give the
regular and steady motion to the con-
centrating tables necessary to make a
good saving of the concentrates. In
order to remedy this evil, Manager
Straub is placing separate engine for
the propulsion of the concentrating
tables. This work has about been COM
pleted and it is probable that in short
time the mill will be running full forced
The veins on the New Lexington
group have recently disclosed assay
values as high as $3.50 to the ton in gold
and large quantity of the ore which has
been sacked will be treated at the mill as
soon as the improvements are completed,

Bridge Completed.

DIR. Carpenter, manager of the Golden
smelter, was in the city Thursday for the
purpose of looking over the new bridge
which has been constructed in the Ban
ner district. This bridge is about sixty
feet long and is sound and substantial.
The doctor found everything in frst-class
shape, and was well pleased with the
work.

Inspected The Banty.

Judge Clark of Youngstown. Ohio, was
the guest of J. B. MacFarlane for several
days during the week, most of which
time was spent in looking over the
properties of the Spring Gulch Gold
Mining Co. The Judge expressed him
self as particularly gratifed with the
Banty and thinks the entire group one of
the most desirable in camp. The party
paid visit to the Comstock and were
royalty entertained by Col. Clark.

The Liberator.

Gus Planmann, who has had charge of
the Liberator mine for some time, left
for the premises the first of the week,
where he again resumed work. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Planmann to begin
active development of the property.

CHANGE
For Pugh-KibIer
Bill Is Good.
Col. I.Sieber Throws Light
on the Subject
Something About Sic.
ber-McHush Bill.
II Will, II Passed, Give New Life
to Canal Navigation.

Hon Geo. W. Sicber, who during the
past few weeks has spent a great deal
of time at Columbus, says that the OPP
portunity for the Pugh-Kibler bill to
become law Is vastly better than it
was two years ago. Great credit Is
due the Committee on Municipal AZ
fairs he said "for the patience and
perseverance, the members have shown
by the way they are considering the
bill. The document Is very large,
containing 2O315 lines, and each prop
osition must be considered with great
care. If the bill Is passed 1t will
probably be after quite Il number of
changes have been made
The mission of Col. Sieber ut Co
lumbus was in the interests of the
canal, and the result of his work Is
the Siebcr-McHugh bill, which has
been recommended for passage. The
bill, as has been explained before, pro-
vldes for the perma retention,
maintenance and supervision of the
canals of Ohio, their water supplies,
reservoirs, dams, feeders and adjacent
lands: TO encourage the building of
nnl to, Al, axtn r,f al,
transportation.
''lt would be almost a calamity If
the canal We're abandoned" said Col.
Scber, Friday evening. "Thcre +,
$32,0oo,000 worth of property located
along the Northern division that is
dependent upon the canal for water
supplies. SO far rs the water supply
question is concerned the canal has
come TO occupy almost the same re-
lation to industries as a river and in
view of the numerous industries To-
Gated along the canal the State could
Ill afford TO abandon it,
Another prominent feature of the
bill is that it provides cncoura cement
to boat building and will induce many
people to engage in canal bonting. This
provision Is that the State shall buy
all the boats in use on the canal In
case the canal is abandoned With
this guarantee that they will not lose
money by building and operating
boats, 1t is regarded as certain that
new life will be infused into canal
navigation.
Section 8 provides for the appoint
mcnt of non-partisan commission TO
investigate the Southern division of the
canal, and make recommendation as
to Its present and future usefulness,
to the next General Assembly. It also
provides that the commission shall
investigate all the water rent con.
tracts. For doing this work, the mem.
bcrs of the commission are each to re.
ccive $40 IL day.
