THE PLUCK OF A PREACHER.
IL Brought Religion to Bunalo hump
and TO Stay.

All through the winter of 1901
struggling procession of fortune seek
ers made its way through the rough
mountains of central Idaho, bound for
Ruffalo Hump. The cold was intense,
the travelling difficult and the suffering
great. Everything was expensive
Shovels sold for $12, chickens for 50
and wages were as high as $50 Il day.
Horse feed was 81 meal and whisky
80 cents drink. A teamSter VINO
owned a horse that could wear snow
shoes made $500 in four months by
hiring him out.
4 Young Episcopal clergyman
thought the Buffalo Hump mines
good place for missionary work. Ihere
was no such thing in camp as Sunday.
The miners were too busy for that,
and gambling and drinking were the
only forms of recreation. There was,
therefore, great excitement over the
.xpected arrival of a "tenderf0ot SKY
pilot" Some were opposed. some were
pleased and all were excited, for any
thing new" was relief to Bunalo
Hump. For the first time religion be-
came a topic of conversation.
When within sixty miles of the mines
he was accOSted by wellwisher. lie
told him that the snow was too deep 10
ride farther. and the wellwisher con-
scented to buy his horse for 50, simply
as a favor. He impressed upon the
Young preacher the Importance of hav-
ing a full knapsack and advised him
not to eat until he had gone far on his
tourney. Thanking him for his kind
advice, the missionary courage0usly
set out to tramp through sixty miles
of snow, with only a blazed trail to
guide him. By 10 o'clock he was tired
and hungry, by o'clock he was ram
ished and exhausted and by o'clock
he dropped in his tracks With eager
fingers he united the knapsack TO ma
in ia rock. The good Samaritan had
relieved him of his lunch, and he had
packed" q useless, heavy burden Tor
all those dreary miles!
But he had come to preach ana not
TO cry and his great good nature, MS
earnestness and his gameness deeply
impressed the mining camp, and a
wonderful change had taken place.
Sunday labor was abandoned and
services were held every morning.
Everything was success but the
singing, and that was dead failure
IF we only had an organ" was the
cry. The SKY pilot said that they
should have one. Returning through
the silent woods to Lewiston, he pur'
chased an organ and brought 1t into
camp on horseback. That was day
of great rejoicing in Buffalo Hump
The only man who could play became
so elated that he drank too much Wits

and around the property. One machine
drill is used and the rest of the men are
working on hand steel. A winze is being
sunk from the 400 to the 500 foot level.
The Ontario Colorado company is one of
the best in the county, and we hope they
will yet be rewarded for their persever-

The Dump.

The Dump lode on Gregory mountain,
operated by Phillips & Co. Of this city,
has been actively worked for nearly a
year and is now in shape to become a
steady shipper. A plant of machinery
and shaft house had TO be erected on the
property and other dead work accom-
plished, such as sinking the shaft retim-
bering and driving levels before much
pay ore could be expected. The shaft is
now $50 feet deep and levels have been
driven east and west from this
point. The boys are now in shape to
begin stoping out ore and the Dump
will be regular shipper from now on.
Tests enough have been made to satisfy
the operators that they will soon get
even for their outlay on the property.

The Hall Mine.

Isaac Hall, owner of the Hall mine in
Russell gulch is holding down the prop
erty and awaiting further developments
from parties who recently took lease
and option on the property and put up
new shaft house and machiney on the
same. The mine has been idle for
four or five months, but Mr.. Hall pro-
poses working the property himself pro-
vided the parties having the lease forfeit
their rights. The mine is young one,
being only 200 feet deep, is in the very
heart of a rich mining section and de.
sirable investment for capital. Mr.. Hall
has developed the mine himself and has
taken out various grades OF ore, some OF
it running as high as S1S5 per ton and
some running not more than $40 per ton.
One great drawback to contend with is the
water in the mine, but this could undout-
edly be overcome with proper equipment
aud means, and the mine may to pay
handsomely.

Owls VS.. independents.

A very swift game of ball was played
between the Owls and independents is,
Sunday afternoon at the city park.
At the outset, judging from the work of
the battery of the Independents, that
team was almost sure to win the game
as Willett and Maloney as pitcher and
catcher respectively certainly out shined
the battery of the Owls. However,
these two players could not overcome
the blunders made by others en- their
team and the game resulted in victory
for the Owls by score of to 9. Each
side played with only seven men owing
to a shortage of players. The following
is the score by innings:

The Gilpin Observer,
Central City, Colo.
Gentlemen:-We think the readers OF
your valuable paper will be interested to
learn Of a new map Of the Gilpin and
Clear Creek district, which we are now
preparing. When We make map of a
district We make good one. The map
We are compiling of the Clear Creek dis.
trict will be finely autographed in colors.
We wish you would call the attention
of your readers TO this map, so they can
communicate with us and arrange to
have their properties, patented or un-
patented, correctly shown on our map in
in colors. This kind Of map will be a
good advertisement for all of them and
for the district.
When completed it will be AS inches
long and A inches high, drawn to a scale
of 1900 feet to the inch. 1t will extend
from Black Hawk and Central City on
the east to Georgetown on the west and
from Yankee hill district on the north to
the Larimertine district on the south.
The map will be sold at popular price
of 100 for the folded pocket map and
81 90 for the cloth back wall map.
Very truly yours,

THE ADDUDDELL.
This Immense Property to be
Developed on a Large
Scale.

The New York parties who recently
purchased the Aduddell mine in the Rus.
sell district, together with several other
properties in that locality, have installed
an S0.horse power boiler and engine on
the Aduddell and begun active opera
tons on the property. This immense
vein has been cut in the Newhouse tun-
mel some distance west Of the main tun-
mel line at depth of 100 feet, and
shows the enormous width of 60 feet of
vein matter at the place where cut. The
Aduddell is undoubtedly the largest
true fissure vein in either Gilpin of Clear
Creek county, and probably in the state.
The management propose working the
mine from this point by upraising and
will put on as many miners as can be
worked to advantage in the tunnel.
Switches and side tracks will be run
from the tunnel to the vein and two ma
chimes will be used to hasten the work.
Sinking will also be prosecuted in the
shaft on the Aduddell after retimbering
tho same, Strengthening it out and put
ting the same in systematic shape 10
continue sinking until connection shall
be made with the upraise from the tun-
nell AS there is about 1900 feet of vir-
gin ground to be explored between the
bottom OF the shaft and the tunnel level,
and as the upper 400 feet OF workings of
the Aduddell in sinking, slopes and drifts
have produced over 81 100000, it is al
most impossible to estimate what a vast
amount of wealth is yet stored in this
valuable property. The other veins of
the group will also receive attention in
the near future and will undoutely re-
imburse the owners handsomely. The
working force at present is fifteen miners,
which will be increased as occasion de-
mands. K. +. L. Townsend is the mana
ger of the property, with Sherman Har-
ris as superintendent.

Mining Notes.

Sam Walters G. Co. and another set of
lessees are leasing in the old shaft on the
Fiskc vein. This vein has been pretty
thoroughly worked out in the past but
the boys manage to make wages or bet
ter out Of the old pillars of ground that
were left standing and the low grade that
had been fred on the stnlls. The miners
have control of the ground from the top
to the bottom of the shaft that is to

Frank Poole, who is managing the West
Notaway has about ten men working in
the mine on the lease system, some of
them doing fairly we'll. The ore is of a
smelling character and does not seem to
do very well in the stamp mills as it is
too refractory. The main shaft is down
about 500 feet but most of the work is
being done between the 200 and 400 foot
levels.

The reclamation division of the gov
