nearly one half million dollars were last
week placed on record. The property
named is the famous Saratoga property
in Russell district. The deeds were Civ
en- by the Saratoga and Cyclops Gold
and Silver Mining company and the Gas
ton Mine Co. to the Clear Creek Mining
and Reduction company, and the sum
named reaches the total of 100000.
The properties have been worked for
the past few years by the purchasers and
great amount of work was done. Berry
Brothers Of Detroit, Mich, have been
the largest stockholders and all work
was done by orders from them.
The property includes some of the
richest gold and silver mines ever dis
covered in Colorado. There are Sc
claims in the transfer, including the
gold producing Saratoga group in Rus
sell district, and the silver producing
ground known as the Cyclops group in
Enterprise district. The Saratoga prop
erty is one of the finest equipped prop
critics in the state. They have large
shaft building and a fine plant of ma
chinery, and have splendid cage shaft
down to depth of 1000 feet. The en-
tire mine is a great ore body, some of it
being of low grade, but other ores carry
ing higher grade. At the 1000 foot lev
wide, and this same vein shows up
strong for heighth of over 800 feet. Up
to last year they had been employing Z
large force Of miners on the properties,
but at that time owing to complications
the mine was closed. At present ar.
rangements arp being made or have been
made to continue 10 work the property
through the Newhouse tunnel, which
has its entrance below Idaho Springs
The tualel is within few hundred feet
Of the Saratoga vein and it is proposed
to drive the great bore until the Sara
toga vein is cut and then drift on the
vein until under the shaft when connec
ton is to be made. Should this be done
it will prove great saving as this mine
has always had trouble with the water
question and by having the tunnel drair
the same great saving will be made.
The other or Cyclops group which il
conveyed was at one time the richest sill
yer mine in Colorado, but no work has
been done on the same for many year.
past.
The purchasing company are the own
ers Of the Golden smelter at Golden, and
although they have had considerable
trouble since they first started up, yet
they have great faith in the ultimate
success Of their enterprises, and within
the past two weeks have again blowr
their furnaces, after making improve
ments to the value Of several thousands
OF dollars.
What their plans are for this grea,
property We are unable to state but from
every indication they are keeping affairs
in shape for an early resumption Of worl
on large scale again.

PREPARING FOR FOOTBALL.
Manager Leach Will Have Washburn
Field Worked Over.

Next Monday Manager Leach or
Washburn athletics Will put a force OF
men to work on Washburn field to get
it into shape for the football season.
Several hundred dollars will be eX-
pended to prepare the grounds.
The field will be moved south about
feet, and west about that many
wards, bringing it within twenty feet
of the bleachers. The northwest cor
ner of the gridiron will just touch the
middle of the grandstand. The cree
ton of the latter made the changing
of the location of the field necessary
The principal work, however will be
the shaping of the ground into an oval
form The slight elevation on the east
side of the park will be graded off,
and the soil hauled over to the cen
ter of the gridiron. From there it Will
be worked over the entire field, leav-
ing the center at least four inches
higher than the edges. In this way
good drainage can be secured. That
was done on the new baseball field
of the Topeka Missouri Valley league
association, and on several different
occasions investigation after a heavy
rainstorm showed the diamond free
from water and comparatively dry.
while the ground along the fences was
covered with water.
Manager Leach says that the pros
poets for a winning team at Washburn
again this year could not be brighter.
He returned today from a two weeks
vacation, part of the time of which he
spent with his brother at Osborne.
