He spoke of her a~ffectionate nature and

DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER.

fore.
Henry M. Driscoll, one of Lander
~county's old pioneers, died at the resi-
dence of his daughter Mrs. VIM. Cooper.
last Saturday afternoon at about 2
o'clock from old age aud general bility.
Mr.. Driscoll has been failing in health
for a long time past, but was a man of
strong vitality and was unwilling to give
up the struggles of this life until forced
to do so. He would occasionally spend
a few days in town visiting his daughter
and after getting tired of spending his
time here would go back to his old home
in Galena where he has resided for these
many, many years. For several days
prior to his death he was confined to his
bed unable to help himself AID last Sat
urday morning was brought down from
Galena by William Cooper and f. e.
Chagnon so that he might be cared for
by his daughter, but passed away in
about four hours after being brought to
town.
Deceased came to Nevada in the year
SO, and located ut Galena where he has
siuce resided. He crossed the plains in
81, then coming from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Driscoll was a native of Ireland
and aged 70 years, and leaves two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. William Cooper and Mrs. John
Clancy, and two sons, Hugh and Richard,
to mourn his death.
He was one of Galena's old pioneers,
having. during his long residence at that
place, accumulated some mining prop
erty which is said to be quite valuable
and which has produced considerable
wealth in days gone by.
The funeral took place Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Father Sheehan,
officiating, aud he was laid to rest in
yonder cemetery by the side OF his wife
who died several years ago.

Runaway Friday.

Last Friday afternoon while Lemaire's
tenn WAS standing 10 front OF the store,
they became frightened and off they
went. The horses crossed the N. G.
track making straight for the lumber
yard where they ran into a large pile OF
lumber, when the horses became loose
from the wagon and took the trail prob
ably thinking they would leave for other
clImes but were caught shortly after.
The wagon suffered nothing worse than
u partial humiliation and can be re-
paired and made as good as new.

TIMING COLUrlN.
Crystal.

=
Geo. Tays came from Crystal
Wednesday morning arriving about
ten O'Clock. He made the trip
alone starting out about three
O'Clock and travelling up the canon
and over the Elko divide on the
crust. Geo. is one of the original
owners of the Lead King, which
has been working all winter and
producing considerable ore. This
property is one of the best in the
county and only for the great ex-
pense of transportation would GER
tainly be winner. The thing re-
auired to make it go under pre-
sent conditions would be the build
ing of a concentration mill on the
river Just below the mine where
water power could be utilized and
thereby reducing the expense of
concentration to less than one dol
lar per ton. The character of the
ere being copper lead sulphide
making it susceptible of close
concentration with very small per-
centage of loss in the treatment
process. The clean copper, lead
and zinc concentrates would leave
handsome margins over shipping
and treatment charges and the
mine could with the addition OF
the mill be operated at profit.
Development work has been con-
tinued on the Black Queen proper
ty during the winter with very sat
isfactory results and a large body
of high grade silver ore is exposed
in the workings. This property
has perhaps the greatest amount OF
development of any other in the
district and has the best record of
ore shipments. The vein is con-
tact and the main working shaft
follows the vein down on an incline
having reached depth of some
thing like 600 feet. The ore pro-
duced is brittle and native silver in
pink spar gangue. This mine GER
tainly shows the earmarks of max
ing one of the greatest producing
mines ever found in the state and
in our opinion only needs proper
systematic development to prove
the correctness of our theory.
What we have said of the Lead
King is as much if not more ap
plicable to the conditions necessary
at the Black Queen property as
mill here is the one essential re-
ouirement to the successful oper-
alton of this proposition. There
are several features here combining
to insure and justify the building
of a plant to treat the Black Queen
ores at the mine where thousands
of tons of the same already lie
spread over the dump and the av-
erase of which would be consider
ed high grade ore in Aspen or
Leadville. One of the leading ad-
vantages in the treatment of this
ore is the fact that from ten to
twenty tons may be put into one
ton of high grade concentrates and
the saving of freight and smelling
charges alone would mean big prof.
its. The mine is so located that a
tram could easily be constructed
whereby the loaded buckets would
hoist the ore from the incline shaft
to the depth of over 1000 feet and
the ore be dumped directly into a
mill at the foot of the mountain be-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

manager of the Waunita Coal Co.
went over to take charge of open
ing their coal mines situated in the
North Fork valley and midway on
the river between Somerset and
Paonia. This company own about
5000 acres of patented land lying
on both sides of the river. They
have an entry already driven on
the coal for 600 feet and will ar
range for immediate production.
The coal being hauled to the switch
until their siding, tramway and
tipple is constructed. This COM
pany are large coal operators in the
southern part of the state and from
one mine have a daily output of
1000 tons which is handled prin-
cipally over the Rock Island and
Burlington railroads. This new
enterprise will greatly benefit Pa
onia and the people of the North
Fork section from the increased
demand and greater consumption of
farm and ranch products caused
by employment of the several hun
dred men engaged in operating
these new mines.
Cores and Metals, April num-
Der declares that the mining out
look in Colorado was never better
than at present, that there are more
new enterprises starting, more cap
ital coming, and more improve
ments in older mines than at any
other time in the history of the
Centennial" state. The advance
in the price of lead and copper is
cited as cause for renewed pros
perity in the state, and with regard
to silver, the editor has the follow
ing to say: "That there will be an
international agreement on silver
seems beyond question. Two
thirds of the world depend on sill
yer for their daily commercial tran
sactions, and its continued depres-
sion means incalculable distress
and possibly famine in many east
ern counties upon which civiliza-
ton depends for many articles of
daily consumption, 1t is therefore
reasonable to presume that self-in-
terest will dictate more liberal
policy toward this metal. What
that means to the mining regions
will be readily understood"
The settlement of the Cripple
Greek labor troubles has brought
relief to thousands of anxious
people throughout the state of
Colorado. We can now see no OBJ
stacle to a busy and prosperous
season before us among the mines
and all other industries whose in
terests are so largely dependent on
the activity manifested among the
many mining camps of the Rocky
mountain regions. In fact we
may say that whatever interviews
to disturb the promotion and
activity of our mines and limits
the products thereof in a like
measure cuts off the demand for
supplies, labor, machinery neces-
sary to the operations and con-
struction of such. We are more
than pleased to see the disposition
among leaders toharmonize all inter-
ests and believe that arbitration is
the better method for the adjust
ment of all such troubles and the
choice of wise and just arbitrators
will give fair and proper decisions
in all similar troubles between the
laborer and employer.
