Looking for Banner Month.

Under date OF September End the,
Victor correspondent OF the Denver
Republican says: Based on the ton
mage already shipped to the samplers
of the district, the output for Septem-
ber will be the banner month OF The
year and the greatest since the calling
of the strike over year ago.
The Eagle sampler, Nelson Franklin
manager, to-day sampled 700 tons and
when the day shift concluded its Ia
bors, there were still ninety-eight cars
of ore on the tracks at the plant.
The Rio Grande sampler, Mayor
French of Victor, manager. has been
forced to employ extra men in an ef-
fort to keep up with the supply. This
sampler, which Is situated In the heart
of the city. will handle 5000 and 10000
tons of ore this month.
Manager Copeland OF the Taylor &
Brunton sampler on Bull hill is run
ming at full force also and estimates
his tonnage for the month at about
10000 tons.
Manager George Frye of the
"Black" sampler on Bull hill estimates
his tonnage at about 5000.
Among the shipments noted to-day
were: One car from the Lowry Il Co
lease on the Burns of the Acacia com
pany; two cars from the Goldswor-
thy & Mercer lease on the Pueblo OF
the Free Coinage company; one car
from the Dan Hill lease on the Los
Angeles; one car from the Gilpin lease
on the Jerry Johnson; two cars from
the Harrison & Seaver lease on the
w. p. H.; one car from the Ferson &
Co. lease on the Gold Dollar Consoli-
dated Company's estate; one car from
the Zenobia and one car from the E.
Porter Gold King in addition to the
regular daily shipments from the older
producers

Tunosten In Gore Range.

Prospectors returning from the Gore
range, says Steamboat Springs cor
respondent. report the discovery of a
rich deposit of tungsten in the vicinity
of what Is known as the Lost mine"
They have done considerable develop
ment work and have enough of the ore
on the dump to make fair sized ship
ment as soon as the freighters can
be secured to haul the stuff to the rail
road.
H. Happner. one of the prospectors.
says the vein is fifteen feet wide from
the surface to the depth to which they
have dug. and the quality of the ore
has increased all the way down. Speci-
mems which he brought back with him
show from sixty to seventy-five per
cent. mineral. which Is said to be the
greatest amount ever discovered in
this state. beating the find made in
Boulder county few years ago. by
from twenty to forty per cent.
There are two ledges OF this valu-
able mineral a short distance apart.
both of which have been filed on and
development work done sufficient to
satisfy the owners that there is vast
amount of the mineral in each.
The owners are Messrs. Weiskopf.
Happner and Bratton, who expect to-
do little more than assessment work
on the claims until the approach OF
the Moffat road. the survey OF that line
being but a short distance from the
claims. which are on the Muddy.

The Boulder QUADRANGLE.

A map recently published by the
United States Geological Survey that
will be of interest to the mining world
of Colorado, is that of the Boulder
quadrangle. 1t covers one of the old
est mining regions in the state-one
that will ever be historically memor-
able because 1t was there that the valu-
able mineral, telluride of gold, on
which Colorado's fame as a mineral
treasure house SO largely rests, was
first discovered. Important mining
towns like Sunshine, Sunset and Gold
Hill have a place on the map, and the
town of Ward is only a mile distant
from the western edge OF the quad
rangle.
In the immediate vicinity of Lyons
which Is in the northeast corner OF the
quadrangle. are extensive deposits OF
red sandstone. The stone is taken
out in large slabs which are used as
paving blocks in many Of the neighbor-
ing towns. Some OF them are even
shipped to points outside the state.
The well known town which gives
its name to the quadrangle is in the
southeast corner OF the quadrangle. 1t
is one of the pleasantest residence
sites in the state and Is the seat of the
State University. The western edge
OF the Boulder oil field enters the
quadrangle, and the location OF several
OF the oil wells which are just east OF
the city Is indicated on the map by
small. round circles.
The triangulation and topography
for this map are the work of Mr..
Frank Tweedy. A copy may be OBJ
tained for the sum OF FIVE cents from
the director of the United States Geo
logical Survey, Washington, d. G.

Mining Rush In Nevada.

A Salt Lake City dispatch of Sep
tember End says: Free milling gold
ore. showing value Of $4,000 to the
ton. found in the Sandstorm mine at
Goldfield, Nevada, has started rush
to that section that promises to
eclipse the White Pine excitement OF
the early sixtiea. The ore was encoun-
tered in a blind lode OF immense size,
forty feet in width, and is said to be
the greatest deposit ever uncovered.

Cripple Creek OUTPUT.

The output Of the Cripple Creek
district for the month of August
amounted to 61.940 tons of ore of a
bullion value of $1.790.62O. This is an
increase over the preceding month OF
10000 tons and about $4,000.
The main feature of the month was
the heavy tonnage treated by the low
grade cyanide mills, to whom the In
crease is directly due. The manage
ment Of these plants report the han
ding Of 1880 tons OF gross value
OF $59.2 an average per ton OF $4.72.
The success of these cyanide plants
has been so pronounced that 1t has led
to the planning of similar mills. some
of these are In course OF construction
and nearing completion.
The figures given out by the mill

A recent dispatch from Dawson, on

there has been demand on all creeks
for labor. Never since 1897 has there
been such demand for labor. As
many as fortysmen men are adver-
tised for on single claims. and wages
have advanced from "a board to $3.50

are entertained that there are not

Portions of Lake Calhoun boulevard
from Thirty-sixth street to Interlachen
are now inundated owing to the HIGH
water in the lake and the high wind
that has prevailed for two days. The
waves have washed over the bank and
onto the boulevard. 1t has been flooded
for long stretches, ! not covering the
whole roadway so as to render it i'm
passable, but enough to damage the
road.

there is nothing that he can do, as the
council maintains exclusive jurisdiction
over the so-called outlet of Lake Cal
houn. The park authorities deplore
present conditions, but can do no more,
as the aldermen are acting under an act

Last Storm a Hummer.
Last night the wind blew gale of
forty miles an hour and the tempera-
ture hung close to SO, sending shivers
thru the unfortunates who were forced
to be on the streets. The fine rain was
almost a sleet. This morning the
weather bureau was besieged with
questions whether the climate is really
breaking winter was probable. In an
swer to these questions T. S. Outram
refers to a pamphlet recently issued by
the weather bureau, which tells the en-
tire story Of Minnesota winters since
1854. y ~
The first records for Minnesota were
kept at Fort Smelling and Fort Ripley
in 1864. !Lbe temperatures were re-
corded in December, January and Feb
ruary, and the mean temperature for
the three months averaged. The aver
age ofs the winters from 1854 to 1904
was then determined and each winter
compared with the fifty-year average
and the departure ascertained.
From a study of the fifty years it is
seen that the contention that the win
tiers of recent years are more rigorous
then those of former years is incor
<ect, at least so far as temperature is
concerned. Allowance has been made
for the difference in elevation of the
thermometer.
The departure last winter from the
normal was 4.5 degrees colder, the m can
average being 8.9 above zero. The tsler-
age for the fifty years was 1874.
Twelve winters were colder than last
year, the warmest being in 1882, 22.7,
and the coolest 1875, 81. The other
winters were very near the mean for
the fifty years.

Negotiations have been started by
the PillsburyWash burn company for
bonding it's Palisade mill and Union
elevator for four months to handle Ca
madam wheat, and another mill will be
included. It is expected that such
wheat may be ground under more ia
vorable circumstances than now under
possible new ruling by the customs
department, or under a new law
W. G. Edgar of the Northwestern
Miller says Of the recently reported
new ruling on the matter of drawbacks
on -four from all-Canadian or mixed
wheat: "The ruling, had it been as
the dispatch said, would have accom-
plished just what the great milling in
terests of the northwest have been
striving for for a long time. The Low
ering bill, which was before congress
at the last session, was intended to
bring about these results, but it was
not passed. s., .... ..
"The law as it now stands forbids
any drawback on flour made from i'm
ported wheat with which any domestic
wheat has been mixed. This provision
practically nullifes any provision of the
law that might have been originally
intended to encourage the importa ton
OF Manitoba wheat for purposes of ex-
port as four.'

FIERCE ELEVATOR RACE
RECORD TIME OF THREE
MINUTES TO FOURTH FLOOR OF
FEDERAL BUILDING.

Elevator racing excited the attention
of the postage-stamp buyers late yes
terday AFTERNOON in the federal build
ing, a new record for the circuit,
twenty-three minutes, being estab-
lished. For some time workmen have
been laboring on the new, elevator. and
have been taking the kinks out of the
old one. Yesterday they declared that
both were ready for the time being.
John Anderson and Axel Peterson, of
Watertown, were paying visit to the
federal court on naturalization bust
ness, and, seeing that the elevators had
big signs up that they were running,
decided to have a circuit race, start
ing up on one and coming down on the
hour before train time, they put their
bet up for several rounds.
Anderson led off. The spectators
watched him enter the old elevator and
saw him disappear slowly upward. Pc
terson rushed over to the other lift
and stood with upturned, expectant
face. After he had kept this position
get anxious and look at his watch, but
there was nothing doing. ~ e..
Train time was approaching and still
Anderson and the elevator failed to
appear. Finally he started upstairs hot
foot and caught his betting antagonist
gently ascending between the third and
fourth floor. He pulled him out at the
top and they ran downstairs and out
into the street for car. The bets
were declared off, but the record of
twenty three minutes to the top floor,
it is thought, will stand for some time.
It is now feared by the postoffce Gus
todian that elevator racing will become
popular, as run1ors of several large
pools among the clerks have. reached
him.
