I
court.
A bill was passed to incorporate the
town of Colonial Beach.
Gov. Montague yesterday signed the
general revenue law, which includes the
Mann bill. 1t is the most sweeping step
toward prohibition ever taken in this
State The bill will, tits claimed, abolish
all saloons in the country and at towns
of less than 500 population. In addition
the Mann feature of the bill is expected
to increase the revenues the State derives
from the liquor traffic, tor the loss from
the saloons that it will put out of bust
ness is expected to be overcome by the
higher license in cities and towns. The
advocates Of the measure claim that 1t
will not only offset the loss, but will bring
in SIS, 900 additional revenue.
The finance committee of the Senate
last nigh decided by vote of seven to
six to recommend the appropriation of
5000, 600 for the jamestown Exposition.
Serious opposition isnot expected on the
floor. The committee, however, created
bitter disappointmentin other directions.
They declined to make appropriations of
$40, 600 for Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, 500, 900 asked for the State Normal
School at Farmyille, and the 81, 500 an
nual appropriation othe frenlan's fund.
They recommended $50, 600 for the new
penitentiary building.
The committee ON courts of justice
reported bill l02, relative to the is
suance of charters by the corporation
commission. Many changes are made
in the bill in the interest of wise legisla-
ton protective of the State.
The hearing On the proposition to
create bureau of insurance will be re-
opened in compliance with the request
of a number of the insurance representa-
tives. In the House yesterday Mr..
Cation had the Senate bill and House
substitute recommitted to the joint COM
mittees on general laws and roads and
international navigation. he annOun-
ced joint meeting of the committee to-
day when interested persons will be
heard.
An opinion was read in the Senate
from Attorney-General Anderson in re-
ply to resolution from that body re-
garding the right of the State to make
an appropriation for the reliefof disabled
6remen. The conclusion of the attor-
ney-general is, that there is no constitu
tional inhibition against the contem-
plated appropriation in the bill.
Virginia lawmakers are preparing to
forestall any danger of merger by plac-
ing section in the corporation measure
to prohibit the merging of any railroads
or other transportation lines in this State
where they are in competition or have
the same terminals in Virginia.

Cassatt. Homestake COMPANY.

One of the soundest, most substantial
and successful companies organized in the
district for some time, was incorporated
this week with the Secretary of State,
under the name of Cassatt Homest:ke
Gold Mining and Milling Company.
The Fred G. Shaffer Investment Com
pany has been pushing this proposition
for the past two months and its culmi-
nation has resulted in business enter
prise that will mean a great deal for the
Idaho Springs district. The company
owns six claims on the mother-vein on
Santa Fe mountain which were purchased
from LIE. Cassatt and Andrew Norton.
These gentlemen have held the property
for years, knowing that some day it
would become valuable
The feature of especial interest in con-
nection with the Incorporation of the
company to the people of the Idaho
Springs district, will be the fact that it
will be the first company substantially
backed financially, to begin operations
on large scale, in the handling of low
grade ores While it is true that assays
on this property run So to S44 to the ton
and that large per cent of the ore would
pay to haul to the mills here and treat,
yet it is the intention of the company to
build mill of its own on the water right
which it has in Slaughterhouse Gulch.
The naturalization of this vein has

Charter Oak to be Started by Owners.

This mine, which has been idle for
month or so, owing to the existence of a
lease and bond, is again in the possession
of Maxton Bros. & Co. and will be again
started. We understand that the mine is
in fine shape. Operations will consist in
both of which there is good mineral 20
run on. The shaft is 800 feet deep, SO
the exploiting should result in opening
extensive stopping ground.
The Charter Oak is owned by close
corporation, composed of local and Ohio
people. and known as the Charter Oak
Chancellor NJ. & NJ. Co. There is no
stock on the market. The principal
shareholder was accidentally killed last
February and this has retarded greatly
subsequent operations.
Since the organization of the company
in October, 1900, the shaft has been sunk
$50 feet and much valuable territory
opened by drifting. The developments
workings, are as follows:
First level, SO feet deep, extends so feet
west and 100 feet east.
Second level, I4o feet deep, is IS feet
west and $50 feet east.
Third level, 2Io feet deep, is extend zIo
feet east, and the fourth level, $50 feet
deep, has also been driven east, $50 feet.
There is mineral in each level. There
has been stopping done between the second
and first levels, and from the first to
within 20 feet of the surface. Shipments
so far have been confined to the smelling
product and the average value has been
$500 per ton. No attempt has been made
TO ship the concentrating ore in quantity.
There is large amount of this on the
dump and is available at any time. An
average test upon this, made at the Mat
tie mill, concentrated five tons into one,
rar IL ozs. gold and 6S ozs. silver per
ton, about $54. 90. With a mill near the
mine this would pay handsomely.
The Charter Oak vein is at least 40 feet
in width. 1t is one of the early patents,
being No. I62. 1t was discovered about
1910 of j S' lhorne, an old prospector,
in connection with the Silver Bluff and
Alps claims, situate in the same camp.
Thorne sank a shaft so feet deep. John
Dory of this city ran a surface trench
upon the property, shipping the surface
outcroppings to the Hill smelter at Black
Hawk, the proceeds being about s2o9 to
the ton. The vein threw lots of rich
float, which was gathered up by different
parties and also returned we'll
Up to the time the present parties took
hold the developments were compare
lively superficial. The mine is now in
fine shape, and should henceforth make
a record. There are four patented claims
in the group.

been matter of comment among mining
men who have been here in the district
for years. 1t is practically an entire noun
tain of mineral and similar to the great
deposits in the famous Alice property at
Yankee.
The property has been thoroughly
tested by NJ. w. Tanner, who is an au-
thority on cyanide treatment, in connect
ion with Harry Mcneil states that the
character of the formation is amenable
to the cyanide treatment. Under such
circumstances the proposition can easily
become second Homestake, after which
it is named.
The officers of the company represent
some of the best business life in the East.
Mr.. w. A. Hamilton, of Terre Haute, Ind
lana is president of the company: Mr..
Frank G. Watrous, of Boston Massachues-
etts is vice president; Mr.. L. w. Herring,
of Baltimore, Maryland is secretary and
Mr.. Robert Wier of the same city is treas
urer.
Work at the mine will be under the
superintendency of Mr.. L. E. Cassatt,
who is well known in the city, and who
was formerly half owner of the property.
Mr. Fred G. Shaffer and Andrew Norton
in connection with the above named Off
GERS of the company, form the directorate
of seven.
Work will begin about October first
and the new company will be the first
substantial one to thoroughly develop
the resources of Santa Fe mountain.

cyaniding the District Ores.

Tanner & McNeill are steadily pushing
their cyanide plans. This week the
pump ordered some time since arrived
and is being installed at the Bonieta mill,
to be used exclusively in connection with
the three big cyanide tanks, Heretofore
the company has been handicapped con-
siderab1y by the lack of pumping and
other facilities, rendering the making of
the preliminary tests a rather slow pro-
cedure, but Mr.. McNeill, who is conceded
to be one of the most painstaking and
capable cyaniders in the country, has
thus far surmounted all difficulties and is
uow thoroughly acquainted with the
adaptsbility of cyanide in the two coun-
ties of Clear Greek and Gilpin, as demon
strated by laboratory and commercial
tests made upon crude ores, tailings and
concentrates. That these tests are salts
factory is evidenced by the company's
steadily pushing operations at its mill
and planning for something more extern
sive when opportunity offers Both par
ties have carefully refrained SO far in
imparting much information to the pub
lie, preferring to let results show for
themselves.
This much has been learned, however,
that the cyaniding Of ores in the Idaho
Springs district has not only been proven
feasible, but that the field is sufficiently
large and varied to justify extensive

ton, we understand, to start with
I5-tons per day crushing capacity. This
will require tank capacity of rs tons, as
it takes five days to run the solution
through. II is an open secret that in the
course of time the works will be enlarged
with the growth of business.
AS the company will purchase ores in
the open market, as do the samplers, and
promises to as well, if not better by the
miner-saving the transportation charge
to Denver at any rate-the problem of
supply of ore is eliminated. And it looks
as if the smelter trust will eventually
lose some of its grip upon the Clear
Greek section.
But the chief benefit to be derived, and
which appeals stronge to our mine ope-
rators, is the market that will be afforded
crude ores that are too solid to concen-
trate and at the same time too low grade
to smelt at profit While we are not at
liberty to furnish facts and figures, we
can ssfely state that very gratifying tests
have been made upon that class of ores.

local property holders who voluntarily
rendered payment to save publication
expenses. Mr.. Nicholas states that Idaho
Springs has better record for prompt
payment of taxes, and if other sections
of the county were equally as prompt,
