TIMING COLUMN.

After many seasons of traltless
search Sup't. JAS. Carson of the
Sylvanite mine has finally discov-
cred the lost rich ore chute which
made this property famous during
the early sos. The town of Gothic
with population Of nearly 1000
people was an outgrowth to a great
extent of the excitement created
over the wonderful ore found at the
surface on this property and nearly
everybody who WAS in the coun-
try at that time had his pockets
more or less filled with nuggets of
native and wire silver from the
Sylvanite. 1t would appear that
the vein Lad been faulted and
folded over upon itself in such a
manner that all Of the numerous
operators there have been looking
in a contrary direction from where
the true ore body was hidden.
The dip of the vein is reversed and
is now iuclining into the mountain
having all the indications of being
continuous and permanent ore
body. 1t will be remembered that
each ton and car load of ore taken
from the original shute found in
the mine netted the company many
thousands of dollars and should
this new strike prove contlnua-
ton of the same ore body many
thousands of dollars worth of ore
will certainly be obtained. We
can give Mr.. Carson credit with
being a slayer and he certainly de-
serves great credit for the pluck
and energy displayed in tracing
the ore to its final location. The
mine will begin shipment of high
grade ore Mt once and finds the
best market with the new Salida
smelter. The 100 tons of mill ore
contracted for the Gothic corcen-
traitor is all delivered. Two weeks
more, it is stated, will see this mill
in operation.
We give below extracts from an
article in the Mining and Scientif-
ic Press, under the head of ''Value
of the Mining Industry to the
Nation"
There is always intimnte connec-
ton between the prosperity of the
country and the condition of the
mining industry. When mining
is prosperous, so is the country and
vice versa. When the mining in
.dustry languishes, every other in
dustry languishes likewise. the un-
paralleled prosperity of this coun-
try during the past six years is
proportional with the hourishing
condition of the mining industry
IN JnaJ llHle. tOuOuiti liS me NdHt
SO also would the life of every 9TH
er industrial enterprise. We have
only to reflect a moment to see how
great has been the influences of the
mining industry upon the affairs
of our own country, as well as up
on the commerce of the world.
Today within the United States,
west of the Mississippi, lies
wealth of treasure which has no
parallel in the history of civiliza-
ton. Much of it has been reveal
ed and is constantly being drawn
upon. No man can measure the
possibilities that remain to lie dis
covered as time goes on. The min
i..g industry is in truth the basic

MORE STOCK LOSSES.

The Recent Storm Did Damage to stock
Interests in the west
Report comes from Sharon Springs
saying that more cattle were killed there
IN the recent severe storm than IN all
other storms Of. the winter combined.
In Wallace county alone the losses viii
amount to 500 head Other counties
have equal losses, owing to the drifting
OF stock against the bsrbed wire fences,
aud several thousand head viii only ap-
proximate the losses IN western Kansas
and eastern Colorado. Snow in the
sheltered places yet tells Of the severity
Of the storm.
From the information that can be
learned it is not probable that Sherman
county lost q very appreciable number
Of cattle, at least it cannot be compared
with the large number that went down
during the heavy SHOWS and cold Of
the winter.
