the benefit of the new Carnagie library is
being arranged by the library board, aud

penses will go to the fund to completely

tons have been voluntarily made by a
number of persons. the amounts so re-
ceiyed by the board merely forms a start
for the undertaking. II is the desire of
the board to have the building furnished
throughout in most durable manner,

mining publication issued at Denver con-

benefit. w. H. Cunningham, former

The brilliant suggestion is made that
the mountain wagon roads should be
sprinkled. 1t would seem to us that the
suggestion is the outcome of a visit to a
Chinese laundry. Take for instance the
Virginia canon wagon road upon which
the dust is fully ten inches thick at the
present time. 1t would only take few
thousand tanks Of water to lay the dust,
but water only weighs some sixty pounds
per gallon and the expense Of hauling it
up the hill would be merely nominal.
After the road had been thoroughly
sprinkled the teamsters could attach
runners to the wheels of the wagon and
coast down. Then again. some enter
prising person could start a toboggan
slide, which would be "a grand attraction
for the winter tourist.

shoets of high grade ore from which
shipments have been made to the sinel-
tiers, running over sIoo per ton. The
Gold Dust adit will be driven east 100
to the end lines. where il joins the rich
Refugee vein. That the Gold Dust and
and the Refugee are identical has been
proven by means of surface shafts over
the ridge 10 Hukill guleh, and they show
an unbroken hanging wall the entire
distance. Two shifts will be employed
under the supervision of Chas. NJ. Berry,
son of Judge Berry, a pioneer OF this
county. Mr.. Berry has removed his
family to this city and will give the oper-
ations of the company his personal at

on ore, where it is possible without inter
fering with the extension of the adit
level. The ore is free milling and when
it is possible to have it treated at the busy
mills, shipments will be made. They
have not the facilities for storing the ore
at the tunnel mouth and it must be left
treated
