E. w. King stated to the Argus last
Thursday that he took out the first
cleanup from the Alder Gulch Mining
company mill in the Little Rockies
last week. II amounted to but 81.
300. but considering the short period
which the mill had been in operation
and the further fact that it is an en-.
tirely new plant. the cleanup was
most satisfactory. The mill Is run
ming in fine shape" said Mr.. King.
I'VE are not yet quite up TO the full
est capacity, 100 tons per day. but
are gradually increasing the amount
of ore treated daily and II will be but
a short time before we will be hand
ling the full 100 tons"
The eyes of the mining world are
now turned in the direction of Old
Mexico. where some of the most m
portant strikes of the day are being
made. 1t is said that American min
ing capitalists. headed by the Gug

Advantages of Leasing System.

That the leasing system in mining
camps. both old and new, Is produc-
tive of good results, is evidenced in
many districts where this system of
working mines is in vogue. Lead
vile, Cripple Creek. and many other
mining districts in Colorado, and also
in Nevada, Idaho and elsewhere, are
good examples of the results of the
leasing system. BY its means large
territory can be thoroughly and
promptly proven. In many places in
dividuals or companies own large
tracts of mineral land which they are
unable to operate except at one or
two points, owing to the great extent
of their holdings. By dividing this
land into blocks and leasing the sew
eral blocks, the entire tract quickly
becomes active. and the various veins
and deposits are vigorously prescott
ed and worked by men who usually
understand the business of mining
and who operate at a minimum cost.
The result is often satisfactory to all
concerned and often to the common
wealth. The leasing system is par
t~icularly applicable TO regions or dist
riots producing high grade ores. Low
grade camps must be developed by
large capital, for there is not the In
centive to small investors and leasers
found in those districts producing low
grade ores. There are many other
districts where the leasing system
would be beneficial and would quick
" open the mines now lying idle. be-
cause the owners are unwilling or un-
able to undertake the development of
their large holdings. Where the leas-
ing system is in vogue the custom
mill or smelter is almost a necessity,
as leasers are usually practical min
ers and prefer to leave the treatment
of the ores 10 those who make a bus
mess of II.
The system of leasing has a further
advantage not to be overlooked. Not
only are the leasers usually eXperien-
ced practical miners, but they are not
hampered in their operations by eX-
tensiye office expenses. II is the gen
eral expense at a mine that often
makes the difference between profit
and loss. Elegant city offices main
tanned at great expense, with a man
aging or resident director under
large salary, add very materially to
the expense OF operating. A central
general office may be necessary, but
the elaborate equipment of some OF
these. and the manner of conducting
this branch of the mines business,
are things seldom If ever seen in con.

A STRANGE FRIENDSHIP.
Dog and Beaver Make Up and Play
Tooether on Best of Terms.

IO9ctncT on BEST OF icTfnS.
Beaver are again becoming quite
numerous on the head waters of the
Warm Spring creek below Maiden
Their dams may be seen at points
along the creek as far up as the site
of the old town OF Andersonville. In
this connection an Argus reporter was
told a good beaver story by Ben Dex'
ter, an old resident of Maiden. In
the very early history of Maiden Mr..
Dexter operated a saw mill some 3
miles below the town and near his
mill site was a beaver dam. occupied
by a lone male beaver. Mr.. Dexter
also owned a large black dog. which
too a great delight upon his first ac'
quaintance with the beaver, in chas-
ing the casteroid rodent, not only
along the banks of the creek, but
would also follow him into the water.
The beaver evidently enjoyed being
chased, but was always careful TO
keep out of reach of the dog when on
land in the water he would let the ca
nine almost catch him. then would
dive in order to play safety. Mr.. DeX-
ter would not permit any OF those
around the mill to injure the beaver,
and after awhile he became quite gen
tie.
In the meantime. the dog lost his
desire 10 hurt the beaver In any way
and the two became quite fast friends
Mr.. Dexter relates that many times he
has observed these two odd chums en-
joying a swim together On just as am.
icable terms, as if they both belonged
to the same species OF animals.

Use Bucket in Shaft Sinking.

In shaft sinking a bucket is general.
ly preferred to a skip for the reason
that a bucket can be easily moved
about on the bottom of the shaft to
accommodate shovelers. A low skip
is usually convenient in a three-com-
partment shaft where the sinking is
done in the middle compartment. ev-
en- though the skip must remain OH
the track, and cannot be shifted about
like a bucket. 1t Is a mistake to re-
duce the size of the manway and pipe
compartment to small dimensions for
reasons of economy. This compart-
ment should be the largest in the
shaft. in order to afford room for
workmen who are obliged to handle
pipes, pumps, etc. and where this
compartment is also used for hoist
ing it should be somewhat larger than
the other Compartments .-Mining and

Will Patent Four Claims.

II is probable that next week sur
veys will be made of the four claims
constituting the Hedges-Hughes group
with the view of making application
for patents to the ground. The
Hedges-Hughes group is located on
Fine Gold gulch. a tributary of Iron
creek. on the south slope of the North
Moccasin mountains. The group Is
developed by about $50 feet of shafts
and tunnels and a fine ledge OF por-
phyritic gold bearing ore is exposed
in the workings of the Mary claim.
At the bottom of a 90-foot shaft on
this claim the ledge has a width Of
about ten feet. with gold values aver
aging about Sc per ton. The group
is the property of DR.. NJ. NJ. Hedges,
of Lewistown. and Harry Hughes, Of
Kendall. Considerable development
work is contemplated during the COM
ing winter, suitable buildings and all
other necessary preparations having
been made to that end.

implicated in setting various fires in Kin
ston last year. FIELDS, along with two
other white men and one negro were ban
ished from the State, and on leaving, the
former made a deed of trust of his prop
erty to his brother w. C. Fields, and
since it is said that deed of conveyance
was made to the trustee the consideration
being based on the original valuation of
the property. The suit, it seems, will be
to recover the difference in valuation
