Will Establish G. A. K. Post.

4 movement is Oh foot to re-estab-
lsh G. A. X. post in this city. and
steps have been taken by the old
veterans to secure the old charter or
It not. a new one. Judge W. T. Walt
man has breu selected as comm ander
and will at once take up the matter with
the proper officers of the national G. A
r. organization. II is the intention of
the old soldiers TO attend the national
encampment in Denver during Sep,em-
ber, and it is desirable that they attend
in body as an organization. An invita-
ton was extended by the Georgetown
veterans to join their post. but upon
taking the matter over it was decided
that il would be best to secure the old
charter if possible. Some fifteen years
ago post was established in this city, OF
which J. J. Elliott was secretary, but
on account of the lack of interest the
charter was surrendered.

with excellent, results.
Twenty men, working three shifts, is
the present force employ ed, part Of which
is making an uprsise of 200 feet for ven
tilation between the lower adit and the
upper level on the Great Western claim,
which lies parallel with the New Era
vein, and is connected with it by means
Of short etoss-euts. at the upper level.
Air drills are used in doing the work
ana The company has recently installed
new Leyner stope drills. which are Civ
ing most satisfactory results.
The New Era property consists of four-
teen mining claims, located west of the
old freeland mine. which has produced
in cxcess of $1,000 600. and east of the
Lnr aTline property which has produced
nearly As much. The Great Western vein
adjoins and is the continuation Of the
Lone Tree vein, which has a production
record of over s7oo, 600 from the surface
workings. This Lone Tree. Great West
ern vein is the eastern extension OF the
great Crown vein OF the I.amartine group,
from which the greater part OF the ener-
nous production OF the famous Lamartine
mine has been extracted to a depth OF
over 900 feet. Another vein, the east

agement.
The development of the New Era
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1905-06-03

properties is ideal. as i, is in accor dance
with the most approved methods OF
mine making. Adit levels or tunnels on
the vein, driven for hundreds of feet, are
connected with parallel levels for ven
tilation. The re is no water TO contend
with, and the mining of the ore by
stoping and its delivery in the uiue cars
by graviiation to the portal Of the tunnel
is the most economical manner of ore
production.
Many good mining property has been
ruined in the early stages of its develop
ment by premature production, and
had the policy of the owners been that
pursued by the New Era company, differ.
ent results would have been obtained for
many dollar invested in the mining in
dusiry. Every properly conducted mine
ha It's ore reserves in advance, and every
mine should have these reserves first be-
fore starting production; but j, requires
time and capital to accomplish this re-
suit. Mines made in this manner assure
permaneney.
The present excellent condition of the
property Is due to the foresight and con-
servatise Judgment of Manager J. r
Elgau, who has had the active manage
ment since acquired by the New Era
Gold Mining aud Milling company. Mr..
Elgan has proven himself well qualified
by the intelligent direction Of operations,
and that the New Era will prove to be one
OF the most profitable enterprises in the
district is the belief of those familiar with
the history Of the camp. and who knew
the property when it was but prospect,
with no better showing on the surface
than hundreds of others.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day was appropriately oh
served in this city last Tuesday. practically
every business house in the city closing
their doors throughout the entire day.
At 1890 a. N. exercises we're held at the
opera house appropriate to the occasion.
at which attorney Il. NJ Sabiu. in his
usual mastery manner. recited the ORR
gin and objects Of the occasion, and paid
glowing tribute 10 the memory of the
soldier dead. incidentally Calling atten-
,ion to the rapidly d. creasing ranks as
time passes. Following the address a
handsome flag was presented to the old
soldiers Of this city. gift Of the patriotic
pupils Of the public schools.
Father II. r. McCabe, of ST. Paul's
Catholic church. delivered an eloqu. n,
address to the veterans, and clearly iden-
tilted himself with those who fought
valiantly during the nations crisis. At
the conclusion of the exercises the old
soldiers and friends assembled at the east
front Of the Carnegie library where a
group picture was taken which will long
be cherished ~ . memento of the occa-
sion. During the day the old soldiers
and committees from the various frater.
nal societies visited the local cemetery
where the graves Of the departed comrades
and brothers were appropriately deco
rated with flowers.

Montrose Tunnel Aeeidsnt.

O~ing to the fact that several citizens
OF Idaho Springs have been engaged in
the construction of the Montrose tunnel,
the news that an accident had befallen
the workmen at that place caused con-
sternation in this city early in the week.
So far a. can be ascertained, only two
formeE citizens Of this place were directly
within the danger zone, both Of whom
escaped uninjured. 1t 10 with no little
satisfaction that the various reports Of
the catastrophe have been accompanied
by assurances that NO blame whatever
attaches TO the management. and the
cave-in was one of those unavoidable and
unforeseen mishaps that are incident to
tunnel driving. II is well known here
that Superintendent Knowles 10 one of
the most experienced and successful tun-
mel uanagers in the entire west, and his
work In this locality has been remarka-
bly, free from disasters. That the acci-
dent Vas not accompanied BY . greater

hesoic work Of the rescuers, under the
direction Of Superintendent Knowles.

ore has an average value of about $50 per

quently carries as high as seventy per

The ore shipments from the Idaho

were 3I8 carloads. or nearly 5000 tons
Of concentrates. IL WAS the largest
months shipments in the history of the
camp, and exceeded the shipments Of
the best previous month, March. 1905
when as3 cars were shipped. by IS cars.
BY comparison with the same month Of
1904 the increase is 1875 cars. or gain
of rsA per cent The shipments during
the first Eve months of the present year

for the same period of 1894 were oo7 car

hundred per cent over the first five
months of last year
The ore shipments for the month just
closed show healthy condition OF the
mining industry in this district, while a
god par, of the gain may be attributed
to the starting of several mills which
have been idle part of the time while re
pairs and solutions were beir z made.
The incoming shipments, which. include
ores from the Newhouse tunnel and
from the Giipiu county mines show Iss
