James Titus, father of Mrs. L. L.
Whiteaker, died at his home in Inde-

The spirit of improvement is in the
air. Old, unsightly yard fences are
being torn down in all parts of town,
and many property owners are i'm
proving their lawns. Park strips
along the street line are becoming
popular, and many shade trees are
being planted in the suburban addi-
tions.

Aduddell Contract Let.

Manager r. f. L. Townsend, of the
Aduddell property, this week awarded a
contract to the Newhouse Tunnel com
pany for driving latterals both east and
west on the big Adudell vein from the
Newhouse tunnel level. The contract
calls for a lateral 300 feet east on the
hanging wall, and one of 800 feet ives,
on the foot wall. The vein in the tunnel
is anywhere from 6S to l6S feet in width
and what is believed to be the hanging
wall on the east side, and what is sup
posed to be the foot wall on the west will
be followed by the contractors. A good
force OF men was started "Wednesday
morning and the contract will keep a
dozen men employed for the next three
months. The Aduddell company in the
mean time will erect a large building
near the Newhouse tunnel portal, in
which will be installed an assay office
and laboratory, where samples Of the
ore taken at regular intervals will bs
tested daily as the work progresses.
The Aduddell shaft on the surface i.
being retimbered and the workmen hav,
not yet reached the bottom of the shaft
AS soon as the bottom has been reached
the work of sinking will be started un
der contract, and at the same time tn,
necessary surveys will be made for start
ing an upraise in the Newhouse tunne
and the work will be gotten under wa,
as soon as possible.-Idaho Springs Sft

SILVER GEM TUNNEL.
Fostoria Company Cuts Into
Large Water Course.

The Fostoria company, driving the
Silver Gem cross cut tunnel, broke intc
water course OF such size that it is as.
suredly the drainage artery of Silver
Age mountain, says the Idaho Springs
Gazette. 1t is probable that the round
OF holes today, when blasted, will dis
close the st. Joseph vein and that the
water course found will prove to be with
In the walls OF the vein. In uny case the
cutting of the water course is of utmost
Importance and one OF the great sue
cesses of tunnel mining. Operations
upon the mountain have always been
subject to heavy drawback from the
great amount Of water encountered at
comparatively shallow depths.
1t has been demonstrated that all the
principal mines are effected by the same
water course and the drainage of one
draws the water from the others. There.
fore the drainage Of the st. Joe lode at
once affects the Summit, Galatea and
other fine mines. Mr. Campbell of the
Fostoria states that as soon as drainage
is effected work will be started upon the
Summit mine by his company and that
Mr.. o. Brien and associates will extend
operations upon the st. Joe mine for the
operation OF which company was or.
ganized last week.
The Galatea also will be worked by
Henry Cole and the Peniel Trust com.
pany. These mines are all opened into
pay ore and will at once become pro
ductive. The company working the St
Joe will drift from the Silver Gem tun-
mel as soon as the lode is cut. The Eos
toria company recently installed ma
chinery at the tunnel and has been Wig
orously driving it ahead with this prime
purpose of drainage and the further in
tention to fully develop its holdings
which comprise 100 acres of mineral
ground. The Summit lode will be reach
ed in about 400 feet at depth of SOC
feet. The tunnel will be driven to tha,
point in about four months and from
there the vein will be fully opened sol
work. In the mean time mining will be
carried on through the shaft.

COLORADO-CARR.
Big Property to be Numbered
Among the Shippers.

Work of getting the Colorado, Carr
property on Bobtail hill in shape for the
resumption of operations was commen
ced Tuesday morning. Only small
force of men was put to work as very
little preparatory work will be necessary
to place the property in shape.
This property was purchased about
two weeks ago by eastern capitalists
from the Colorado Carr company. The
deal was made through G. P. Goodier,
of Denver, well known mining man of
this section who has been operating
properties in the northern part of the
county. The amount paid for the Colo.
RADIO Carr, $4,000, is said to be a very
low figure, considering the value of the
property and its past record as a pro-
ducer.
The new owners OF the mine are men
OF wealth and are financially able to
carry on operations on as broad a scale
as the property was worked more than
three years ago, before it was closed
down. Development work will be
pushed rapidly and extensively. The
depth of the shaft at present is $50 feet.
Besides being equipped with large and
complete plant of machinery, including
an air compressor for the drills, the
property possesses an aerial tramway for
the transportation of ores to the Ran
dolph mill below Black Hawk. 1t is one
OF the very few mines Of the state hav-
ing this system. The reduction it makes
from the cost of hauling the oIe to the
mill in wagons, is big one and the sav.
ing Of money makes it possible to mine
very low grade ore at profit.
When the Colorado Carr is in shape
to operate full blast large number OF
miners will be given employment. In
years past when the property was a
steady shipper over seventy five men
were kept busy and as the syndicate
now owning the mine intend to work il
extensively it is reasonable to believe
that fully as many men will be needed
as were used before.

Old Pioneer Dies.

John Griffin, one of the early settlers
and old pioneers Of the camp, died at
his home in Russell Gulch Sunday af-
ternoon Of senilty. He was 81 years OF
age and came to Glpin county in 1859,
locating in Russell. He built the first
house in that place and lived in it until
the time of his death. When the Civil
war broke out he enlisted in the army
and served until the close. He returned
to this section and followed the occupa.
ton OF mining. During his mining
career he made several good strikes and
at one time was considered quite well
fixed financially. In 1873 he took unto
himself wife and OF this union two
sons and one daughter were born. These
are all living. The funeral was held
Tuesday morning from the Catholic
church. 1t was quite largely attended
by friends OF the old settler.

MINING NOTES.
Sleepy Hollow Starts Strikes
and Sales.

AS was announced in these columns
few weeks ago, the famous Sleepy
Hollow property was started Monday af-
ter period OF idleness lasting over ten
years. This noted producer has not
been worked during this time principal
ly on account Of the vast amount of
water that has accumulated in the shaft
and levels. A strong company of capi-
talists are interested in the property
and will work it extensively. The
Sleepy Hollow at one time was one of
the best producers in the county, but
was forced to close down when the water
broke through the Fiske and drowned
:, fourteen miners. The men who will
operate the mine commenced raising
the water Monday morning.
Two big mining deals of Importance
were closed this week, when the Bush,
whacker, Fountaine Formosa and the
Tee Dee Aitch claims in Russell district
' were conveyed to II. M. Orahood, of
Denver, the consideration being $4,000.
The other deal was the sale of the
Louisa group in the Yankee hill district
This property was purchased by eastern
parties. Included in this sale is the
