Monarch Changes Hands.

G. D. Preston and associates, of Col
umbus, Ohio, were in the city last week
and bought the Monarch claim ON Fall
River from Daniel Rice, for consider
alton of 81 500. it is said. The Monarch
is q promising prospect. and is opened by
a 900 foot adit level. The vein is four
feet in width, all of which will run be-
tweenf7 and $I2 per ton, and is of free
milling Character. There is also small
streak of ore from which good assays
have been obtained, but it is not likely
that it will be sorted out for separate
shipment at the present. The pro.
duct will be treated at the Ristedt mill,
and can be transported to the mill by
building short stretch of track and q
bridge across the creek. This method ol
handling the milling ore will cost but a
nominal amount. and even If the ore was
of a lower grade should yield handsome
profit. the new owners contemplate the
the extension of the tunnel. as depth j.
Rained very rapidly. and they will also
start Slopes.

Activity in the Lead Belt.

DIR. NJ. r. Richards, prominent physi-
clan Of New York City. was here this
week. and visited the Lead Belt property
on Seaton mountain, in which he is inter.
ested. The doctor was highly pleased
with the mine, and the prospects for the
production of a heavy tonnage in the
near future, Yesterday work was started
in driving the Ioo-foot level east and
west. There is showing at this point an
8-inch streak Of smelling ore which will
give returns Of better than $50 per ton
There is also four foot vein of milling
ore which will run fI2 per ton in the
crude. and will concentrate AZ into I al
the mills, making very good grade oi
concentrates. The arrangements are
under way for the installation of an elec.
trio hbisier on the shaft. in place of the
whim in use at present. After the elec
trio hois, is installed sinking the main
ahaft will be resumed with double shifts
Electric power is the only practicable
method on Seaton mountain. at the pres
ent time. for If steam or gasolene engine,
be used It is necessary to hauiw alter from
this city at . heavy expense.

A GREAT MONTH
AUGUST DEPOT RECORDS SHOW RE-
MARkAslE GAINS.
A THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS DENOTE
HEALTHY BUSINESS CONDITION..

The ore shipments for the month OF
August from this city were 2o3 cars, as
Aagainst IIs cars for the same mouth last
year. showing an increrse Of "a per cent.
The shipments of freight received were
200 cars for August. as against 7IA
cars in August, 1908, an increase OF 3S
per cent. This is a splendid barometer
of the general business conditions in the
camp. The greater part OF the cars re-
ceived include the shipments of ore to
Idaho Springs mills for treatment. and
each five cars will concentrate into one
carload of concentrates for the smelters.
There is bound to be a greatly increased
tonnage from number ofthe larger pro-
ducers within the next few weeks as
many of them are just completing devel-
opment work, and are making prepara.
tiou for taking out large quantity OF ore
Nearly every available mill in the district
is running full time, with all of the ore
capacity engaged for some time ahead.
number of properties are closed down
for the lack of milling facilities.
The above excellent showing from the
books at the depot is good news to the
people Of this city and camp. II may be
carried further by saying that the busi-
ness at the depot for the month of August
was fIooo in excess of the business done
for the same period year ago.

The Council Meeting.

The city council met Thursday evening
being the regular monthly meeting.
Messrs. Lowell, Comstock and Moscript
being absent. The reports Of officers were
read and the routine of business was
attended to with the usual facility. The
water works committee-reported that the
owner of the potato patch" on account
Of an adjacent lode claim. had set a price
Of 81 900 for the tract. and as the alder
men thought that it would be better to
pay this amount. than to start condeinna-
ton proceedings and litigation, it was de-
cided to purchase the ground, although
the price seemed excessive. Word was
received from Messrs. O'Brien and Rhoades
the Denver contractors, that they would
have the new specifications ready by Sat
urday OF Monday. at which time special
meeting will be called to pass upon the
new plans.
The revised plans provide for a more
capacious reservoir, as suggested exclus-
lively in Siftiugs few weeks since. and a
number of changes on the Chicago creek
conduit line, and new lines on Soda
creek

Local Men In Cripple Creek.

S. L. Fulkersin. ]. II. Robson. ]. r.
Richey and d. F. Robson. experienced
prospectors from Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties. have secured 100000 bond
and two wears lease on the Gold Watch
claim. situated near the mouth of the
drainage at Cripple Greek. They are
developing the property By means of q
cross-cui tunnel. which will intersect the
dyke exposed at surface, at a depth of
about IS feet. Values Of from sio to fS2
have been frequent and it looks as if the
prospectors will soon develop a shipper.
The dyke they are making their objec-
tive point has been traced from the west
slope of Beacon hill. the home of the
famous FL Paso, c. K. & N, Old Gold,
Henery Adney and other producers.
This section is nowth most sought of anv
by prospectors and ii was the favorable
showing and formation which led to the
leasing Of the Gold Watch The property
is owned by ]. ]. Miller, one of the pio-
neers Of the district, who has made several
small shipments from the property that
netted from $50 upward. Several Other
mining claims in this locality that have
been neglected for years are again active
and several new. shafts and workings arr
in evidence.
The producing mines above mentioned
are making daily shipments and this
tends to encourage those prospecting in
the same section in a manner that cannot
fail Of developing new producers if the
precious metal is in the ground.

iowa INVESTORS
ACQUIRE VALUABLE MINING PROPER
TY ON SKATER MOUNTAIN.
MIxSELL's KEYSTONE RESUMES
FINAL PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
MADE LAST THURSDAY.

The Keystone, well known property
in Virginia canon, formerly owned by
Phil Mixseil, will be started up next
week. A blacksmith shop and ore bins
will be erected, and car and rails, to-
gether with the necessary tools have been
ordered, and development work will be-
gin at once. The Keystone is full sized
patented claim, opened by tunnel driven
on the vein for over 900 feet. The vein
averages over four feet in width, and
from one to two and one-half feet is free
milling ore averaging better than fIo per
ton. In driving the tunnel the hili
length of the claim a depth of s25 feet
will be reached. The Central tunnel will
also cut the vein at a depth of 1880 feet
below the surface.
The final payment for the property
was made Thursday and the mine is now

rhe SMeet MaeIe.

Anew 6o-horse power horizantsI tubu.
lar boiler is being installed at the Swee,
Marie tunnel on Ute creek. Heretofore
the compressor has been driven with
steam from an upright boiler Of small
capacity. which has been operated at a
heavy expense. When the new boiler is
in place the breast of the crosscut tunnel
will be driven ahead to intersect the NJ
& NJ. mine. which will be reached in 76o
feet more o: driving. The tunnel is al.
ready in 500 feet. At AIS feet from the
entrance the Little Helen lode was en-.
countered. A drift was run on the vein
rs feet east and there is 6ne streak OF
froo ore exposed the entire length of the
drift. The Little Wonder air drills are
being used with most satisfactory results,
and 20 far as known they are the first in
the district. The Sweet Marie tun mel is
being driven primarily to drain the NJ. &,
NJ. mine which is filled with water
and which cannot be proftably worked
on account of the water present in the
workings. The tunnel will cut the vein
at depth of 400 feet below the collar OF
the shaft and will completely drain the
workings Of water and permit the extrac-
ton Of the ore at a good profit. The
property IL owned by. the Chicago and
Colorado Development and Milling com.
pany Of which DR.. Geo. A. Yeager Of
Denver 10 the manager. The holdings
comprise a groug of IL patented claims, a
tunnel site and number of the claims
nea. by location. The tunnel will reach
all of the claims and after the M. & M.
mine is reached it will be driven on to
intersect the other lodes in the group.

The Chicago Tunnel.

Manager Prank Percy. of the Chicago
tunnel returned last Saturday after an ex-
tended trip throughout the east including
Chicago and New York City. He was
successful in interesting . number Of
gentlemen in the Chicago tunnel, snd
under instructions Of the board of direct
ors. work will be resumed on the breast
of the tunnel next Monday morning. Al
the present time no work will be done on
the splendid ore body which was cut .
few feet back from the breast. Short
drifts were driven east and west on the
ore. which disclosed better values on
either side than was found where the
vein was encountered. The streak will
average -four inches in width, and the re.
turns have been from SO 10 $soo per ton.
The breast Of the tunnel is only in goo
feet at the present time. and the fact that
they have opened into pay ore in the
short distance already driven, is consid-
cred quite fortunate. The Newhouse
tunnel, when it was driven. went for
nearly a mile before cutting = vein which
showed any promise, and the veins which
were found from that point on were never
exploited and are still there just as the
tunnel passed. The Chicago tunnel by
driving on the FIRST vein il encountered
has disclosed IN ore body where many OF
the old timers and prospectors had pre-
viously declared there existed nothing.
The assure veins which outcrop on the
south slope Of the mountains on upper
Chicago creek. continue west on aud over
into Summit and Park counties, and
may be found in the camp known as
Swandyke ON the other side of the range
where but limited amount of prospect
ing has disclosed immense bodies of ore,
and which but await the advent of rail
way to be handled proftably.
