A dispatch from Hunters Hot
Springs, Montana, June 9th, says: Ju-
lius Baer, the well-known mining en-
gineer, is dead here of hemOrrhage, af-
ter short illness. He came from
Denver four years ago, and since that
TIME had been superintendent Of the
Conrey Placer Mining Company.
A small steam plant has been
shipped to Midland on the Midland
terminal railroad, from which point
it will be moved to the Loshbaugh
properties about three miles in to-
wards Pixies peak from Midland. The
owners. eastern capitalists, will de-
velop a large body of low grade ore
which they have uncovered.
A Colorado Springs dispatch of May
10th says: The El Paso Gold Mining
Company to-day declared dividend of
3 cents per share, which Is cent more
than the company has been paying. 1t
is probable that Scent dividend will
now be declared monthly. When to-
days dividend has been paid the COM
pany will have disbursed $775.750.
The Central City correspondent of
the Denver News reports that the New
foundland Gold and Silver Mining Com
pany. with Offices at Denver and
Omaha. operating the Newfoundland
mine, on Gunnell hill, property 1t
started up about a year ago. has en-
countered a body OF exceedingly rich
ore. At one point in the tunnel. where
three veins come together. ore was ex-
tracted about two weeks ago and was
assayed in Omaha. The lowest showed
values OF $44S.57 to the ton and tho
highest $1,S91.90. N. e. and j. H.
Sherwood, two Of the directors OF the
company, of Omaha. were in the city
Wednesday and had assays of some
of the ore made at a local office. This.
while not as rich as that assayed in
Omaha, two weeks ago, was, neverthe-
less, Of high value, running $504.62 to
the ton.

Holme. Sample Works Closed.

The Boulder correspondent of the
Denver News says: Because of the
closing down Of the Independent
smelter at Golden, the Holmes sample
works of this city are also closed. This
sampler had intimate connection with
the Independent smelter and was sole
purchaser of ores for 1t in this county.
President Holmes said to-day that they
were expecting that an arrangement
would be made whereby the smelter
could be started again, but that SO far
as the present outlook was concerned
he had no definite knowledge. Rates
offered by the Independent were so
satisfactory that many dumps were be-
ing shipped from this county to
Golden. The owners of these never
had rate from the smelling trust that
enabled them to ship their dumps or
their low grades. One mine in this
county which shipped fifty tons day
will probably close this week with the
Independent smelter.
Other mines having large percent
age of silica in their ores are likely to
close unless something can be done to
rehabilitate the Golden smelter or To-
cate a smelter of a small tonnage at
this point. This smelter is being se-
riously discussed by miners. who will
take it up with the business men of
Boulder. The penalties charged for
per cent. of silica by the smelling
trust have been such as to make 1t
impossible to mine ores of less value
than $40 in many of the camps of this
county. Mines have been shipping ore
averaging high in silica and receiving
returns from Golden which justified
their working.

Silverton capitalists are said to be
considering the practicability OF build
ing a custom milling plant Of from ten
to twenty stamps capacity, for the pur-
pose of making tests on ores from va
rious properties the managements of
which wish to determine the exact pro-
cess necessary for the economical
treatment of their products. and for
milling the ores from small mines
throughout the district, the output OF
which will not justify the erection Of
individual milling plants.
The shipments of crude and smelt.
ing ores, concentrates and tailings
from the Black Hawk depot TO the
Golden and Denver smelters amounted
to ninety-four cars, or 1875 tons, for
the first week of May. This was one
Of the heaviest shipping weeks for
several months past, the weather con-
ditions having moderated SO that the
roads were comparatively good and
transportation unhindered. Indica-
tions are good that the output OF ores
the remainder of the month will be
steadily increased.
A Central City correspondent says:
A corps of engineers OF the Colorado
& Southern railway. under the direc-
ton Of Dan Hooker, has been in the
camp the past week making a survey
for tram tracks to run from the Two
lon mine to the Kokomo. on Quartz
hill. The distance Is about mile.
After completing the surrey for the
Kokomo tram spur the Colorado &
Southern engineers will commence
work on the survey for the proposed
extension of the narrow gauge from
Black Hawk to Apex. This road will
run up Clear creek to Pine creek and
mp Pine creek to its terminus. 1t will
be about nine miles in length and will
mean great boon to the Apex dis
trict. There are many low-grade
propositions in that vicinity which
have been idle for years, owing to the
high transportation rates. all ore hav-
ing to be hauled In wagons to Black
Hawk and then transferred to cars for
shipment to the Golden or Denver
smelters.

may have been such fear, or his
course may have arisen out of the
optimism Of youth in crime who
has been pupil in the school of
peculiar honor whose fundamental
precept is, Don't peach on pal"
Young Krum, having been picked
up in Stevens county by Dalton and
his pals, may be laboring under the
impression that it is wrong to tell
the court what he knows. He may
also be looking for glory.
At any rate, this morning at the
opening of court, Judge Poindexter
ordered the bailiffs to eject from
the court room all the lads of small
size who have been watching the
court room scenes and drinking in
all the dime novel effects of mag
nation as to Dalton's methods.
On the theory chat there are
ethics in crime and a standard
which must be maintained in the
fraternity, Sam Elder is in an I'M
enviable position in the world of

sentence for crime, had turned
stool pigeon for the police for
either money or good graces. In

Of crime the stool pigeon is marked

at liberty for the killing. If Dali
ton is member of any consider
able gang, Sam Elder is certainly
pursuing course beset with pos

The statement is made today
that Attorney Riste is not going to
submit Dalton to the ordeal of ex-
animation by Prosecuting Attorney
Barnhart, and will not offer him as

was commenced at noon today.

was brought forth up to the time
