Lake Mine a BONANZA.

The Lake mine in Virginia canon,
which was recently taken over under
bond and lease by Messrs Puttner and
Krappe of Denver, is now shipping from
forty TO fifty tons Of ore every day to the
Golden smelter. The ieasees are running
the old slopes while preparations for
mining on large scale are under way
Ore bins are being erected at the mouth
Of the tunnel. new rails are being laid
and pipe for air drills is being extended
from the Two Brothers tunnel power
plant. As many men as can be worked
advantageously are being employed as
the work progresses. The location of the
Lake tunnel, opening onto Virginia
canon wagon road, makes possible the
handling of the product at a minimum
cost. As the vein is large one. from
four to twelve feet in width. an immense
tonnage will be produced when opera.
tons are well under way.

Teamsters vs.. Railroad Men.

Colorado & Southern trainmen have
registered kick against local teamsters
delaying traffic by leaving their wagons
too close to the railway tracks. Inquiry
elects the information that in all cases
the wagons Of which complaint is made
are those engaged in loading or unload
ing cara. In the absence of tracks set
apart for the handling of this freight, it
is difficult to see how the fault can be
remedied. Ifa car of freight is set on :
siding next to the main line with OBJ
structioa upon the other, the teamsters
are compelled to take wagon space as
near the door of the car as possible, and
it is daily occurrence for q teamster to
to be compelled to move his wagon
many times in getting load in order to
avoid the switch engines or passing
trains. An exclusive freight tack re-
moved from the main line to which easy
access could be had would accomwodate
both railway conpany ane patrons. The
inconvenisuce nov experienced is alike
distasteful to both.

A Word Of Warning.

Hot ashes are ever menace to prop.
erty, and during the prevailing high
winds more than al any other time,
should extra precaution be taken about
dumping them. Overlooking ash caus
should be declared . nuisance and the
owners hauled up short for permitting
the csrelessness. If all the residents of
a block with one exception should use
the utmost precautions, and that one
carelessly dump hot ashes promiscou sly
all property would be alike jeopordized.
This Is an injustice to the cautions, and
therefore the authorities should enforce
the ordinance to the letter, let the shoe
pinch - it will. No town in the state Is
better patroled BY both peace and
FIRE officer ., but these officials cannot be
expected to be every place at the same
time and investigate the dumping Of
ashes. 70 that it is imperative that prop
erty owners obey the strict letter of the
law and in every way possible protect
their own and their neighbor's interests.
Idaho Springs has been extremely for
tunste IL the matter Of fres, and this
hsppy condition has only been Obtained
BY eternal vigilance. The present is
always the dme to be careful.

GREAT GAINS.

On Thursday OF this week, a new
record was established for ore shipments
from this depot. when the Colorado &

ty one carloads of ore in the local wards.
billed to the Golden and Denver smeilers
This is the largest number of cars ever
shipped from the local depot in a siugie
day. and it is but forernnner of winter
of exceptional activity for the mines. the
teams;ers aud the mills of the district.
The ore shipments from the Idaho
Springs district for the year 1904 will
show an Increase of sixty per cent over
the shipments of the previous year. dur
ing which the labor troubles curtailed
the output considerably. The increase
over the year 1901 is twenty three per
cent, which is a substantial gain.
The incoming shipments of ore for
treatment a, the local mills will show an
increase OF about double that of last year.
This is largely due to the fact that the
Jackson mill Of this city which is under
bond and lease to the management of
the Old Town mine is running coutin-
ousiv on the product of that property
and Of the ore is shipped by way of the
Gilpin county tramway and the Colorado
and Southern cars to this city. In ad-
dition to the Old Town. ore, many car
loads have been received from the mines
Of Dumont and Silver Plume for reduct-
ion at other mills notwithstanding the
fact that there Is an abundant supply of
ore in our own mines which must await
its turn for treatment. The local mine
operators have been. and are at present
Handicapped for ore teams, and some of
