The Eks' Seanee.

Amid the ordinary routine and cares Of
life. little recreation by the way is APP
preciated by all, and none seemingly
rsalize this better than the B. p. o. Efks,
whose hall on Tuesday evenings generally
witnesses a feast Of reason and other
wise, and the introduction of one or
more candidates into the mysiery of the
green pastures and still waters where the
noble animal is at his best. Tuesday
night of this week Was no exception to-
the rule and the scsnce lasted, we are
told in strict conf !ence, till the stars of
night were retiring hcfore the advent OF
the god Of day. This may be stretching
the time q little, but il is . fact that
Numerous bencdcts Of this place had to-
do considerable explaining next day.
Office work doesn't generally prove So
enticing that time is forgotten.
Several candidates were taken through
the ordeal Tuesday night, two of them
hailing from lawson snd one from
Georgetown. The Georgetown man is
also claimed by Idaho Springs and the
state at large. as 1t has not been so very
long since he officiated az a presidential
eiector, and Of later years he has been
very strong gubernatorial possibility on
the Democratic ticket. 1t is said that
Mr.. Robson stood every test we'll and
when he had emerged from his dream of
bliss made speech that at one bound
placed him in the category Of Bonney,
Mccormick and other born orators of the
order. The members of the lodge are
pleased at the timber that is being
gathered from the upper end OF the
county, and the work is but begun.
Following the initiation, all present
partook OF a very elegant lunch, CON-
prising cold turkey and ham. salads,
coffee. ETC., etc. prepared by Ed. Watson
the fame of which is in everybody's
mouth.
II is limited that at the next meeting a
very prominent citizen of this city and
state will in all probability be taken into
the lodge.

Nebsaska Tunnel.

The systematic course of development
pursued by the J. d. Williamson Invest
ment Company IN the opening of the
property of The Miners Gold Develop
ing Company on Mineral mountain has
lately resulted in exposing fine shoot of
ore in the quartz formation The ore is
different from the usual pay material
found in the quartzite inasmuch As it
carries considerable gold and silver in
the native state.
Two assays recently made on the ore
gave total values of ST.. 40 and tIo.2I per
ton. respectively. A picked sample as
sayed over $Is3. Some very nice speci-
mems have been taken out. They arc
beautiful and their oddity makes them
highly priced.

A new SAMPLER.

FEDERATION.
WARD NINE PROVES BIG BONANZA
FULLY FORTY FEET OF coNcENrRA1-
ING ORE OPENED.

As will be seen elsewhere in this issue,
Superintendent W. B. Stewart of the Big
Five Central tunnel is advertising for bids
for the stone work for a new sampler, to
be erected on the south side of Clear
creek, on the company grounds and but
a short distance from the mouth OF the
tunnel. This sampler will be simply the
forerunner OF big concentrator to be
erected by the same company, both to
be devoted to the reduction of the prod
uct of the tunnel properties. The work
of construction Of the sampler will be
pushed with the Big Five's accustomed
vigor.
For some time Secretary Merrill has
been pointing out to the stockholders of
the Big Five the advisability of erecting
both sampler and concentrstor. and the
slacrity with which they have responded
demonstrates the perfect accord existing
in the company and the confidence
placed in the secretary s Judgment.
The preparatory work for the two mills
began some eeks ago. The track from
the tunnel has BEEN extended and Mo-
script & Hassell this week have beer
hauling in the heavy timbers for the
bridge over the creek and the trestle
work leading therefrom to the sampler.
The grade from the bridge to the SAM
pier will be almost level. the fall being
but one inch to the hundred feet. The
height OF the bridge will be 81 feet. and
the sampler will be constructed at a point
which will admit of the ore being
dumped from the mine cars into the bins,
thus saving considerable handling. The
capacity of the sampler has not yet
been announced.
The machinesy for the sampler has
been ordered and will arrive In due time.

strong evidence in the breast Of the ten

Ward Mine Shown Eoay Fest q Oss.
This week the hanging wall Of the
Ward lode wss reached ard Andrew An
dersou stsses.thsa sevessl feet Of mill dirt
was found at that point. This. in sddi-
ton to the other material Of . pay nature
IN tie mise. makes fully 10 feet in width
which il is thought will yield pro6t iu
the mill to be erected ct the mine, prob
ably .aext spring. This is an innesse
body Of ore. sufficient to supply very
large mill after the mine is in shape.
The misess are nov engaged 10 drifting
both ways on the hanging wall streak;
simply to test the continuity. size and
quality of the vein. The main devel-
opment work. however. will consist in
eontinuisg the shaft. which is supposed
TO be on the loot vail of the vein, al
though there are experienced miners who
(are not altogether convinced as to that.
The miae I. owned by John c. Roberts.
Who sank the present shaft to the depth
of 70 feet and made numerous tests Of
the ore obtained. demonstrating that il
vas . ine coucentrating propositiou. II
v,s his iuteutiou to erect q mill just BE-
low the dump, the location being ideal
for q gravity mill. to be exclusively de.
voted to concentrating the Ward mine
product. However, a local pool. consist
ing of Andrew Anderson, Godfrey Carl
son, John Nelson, Ole Anderson and two
or three others, secured lease and bond
and are quietly exploiting the property.
The results thus far have been very satis-
factory and will undoubtedly lead 10
the erection Of the contemplated Midland
the addition of another large producer.
1t is the opinion Of Mr.. Roberts and Of
others who have studied the ground that
what 10 known a. the Edwards placer il
formed by the wash from the Ward lode.
and the fact that the pay in the placer
did not extend beyond the lode supports
the opinion very strongly. Another rea-
SON is that Mr.. Roberts has collection Of
coarpe gold obtaine1 from the mine that
is identical in appearance with that pro.
duced by the placer.
If this theory be true, the possibilities
for an immense and rich body of ore be-
ing opened in that particular section are
certainIy sufficient to warrant extensive
endeavor. The parties now operating
are experieuced and fortified with ample
capital.

The Consolidated Gem.


These are indeed busy days with the
Consolidated Gem people, and Manager
Reushaw finds his hands more than full
with the improvements Of the property
under way and in prospect. Mr.. Zen
shsw has spent portion Of the time this
week in the Northern coal fields in an
endeavor to place his orders for fuel so
that his compsny will be supplied as soon
as any other when the strike breaks, but
he l. in no wise distressed from a coal
at present, as there is enough
in the bins to run many days.
The State Ore mill improvements are
as rapidly as could be desired
and will be fully completed within 90
days. Already the new machinery is
to arrive and will be installed
as fast a. possible. A large shipment is
next week. Arrangements have
oeen perfected with the railroad company

White & Mitchell have taken the con-
tract of sinking the Beaver shaft another
lift. Under the energetic management
of ]. ]. Hoban this excellent property is
steadily and surely taking its position as
a reliable producer and shipper of ore of
more than average grade. There are
three sets of leasers in the niue and more
will be employed with the opening Of
new levels. In October, the shipments
from the mine amounted to sixty tons of
mill dirt and eight of smelling, and It is
thought the record for this month will
exceed that.

Manager jacques of the Black Lion
group, situated on Ute creek, made a
business call at Siftings sanctum on We'd
nesday. He reports that his work at
present consists in driving crosscut for
the group. starting at point below the
Silver Link mite. This is a very excel
ent idea, as the veins OF the group will be
intersected at depth and be relieved of
the large amount OF surface water incid-
ent TO that section. The group is valu-
able one. and we trust that operations
viii be vigorously and continuously pros
ecnted. It is situated in a country where
mineral of fine grade has been produced.
While the Black Lion vein has been
worked to considerable extent by the
company and has produced ore OF good
grade, Mr.. Jacques thinks it is not the
usin member of the group. The inter-
sections by the crosscut will determine
this, in all probability.
