GREAT SARATOGA
NEXT WEEK THE NEWaousE TUNNEL
WILL CUT THE IMMENSE VEIN.
TO UnWATER MILES OF WORKING!
WILL FURNISH AN OUTLET FOR ONE
OF THE BEST MINES IN
THIS DISTRICT.

The breast of the Newbouse is expect
ed to encounter the great Saratoga vein
within the next few days. The rock is
extremely hard iu the face OF the tunnel
as is usually the case Just before the
vein is reached. A new survey was
made this week to determine the ex ct
location of the breast of the tlnnel in
the workings of the Saratoga mine.
The survey show, that the heading of
the tunnel Is 2es feet below the bottom
of the Saratoga ssaft and tina, east from
the tunnel s25 feet, and an upraise Of
sos feet will make connection with the
ninth level at point I.s25 feet west of
the Saratoga shaft. The tenth level has
been driven but 72o feet ives, of the
shaft. so that it would be necessary to
to drive 500 feet at the level of the New
house 10 make connection with that
level. The mine is filled with water up
TO the third ievel, but instead of draining,
the mine has been filling with water.
The breast of the Newhouse at the pres
ent time is as dry as a bone. The Sara
;oga shaft is a vertical one. and is over
1000 feet in depth. The vein in differ
ereut parts of the mine is from six to
twenty feet ia width, and it is claimed
that ore running forty ounces in gold per
ton was shipped from the bottom levels,
before the former operators were driven
out by the vast quantity OF water in the
workings The fact that the Newhouse
tunnel has not cut any Of the veins
showing on the surface south of the
Saratoga leads to belief that number of
them pitch into that vein at a depth of
several hundred feet below the surface.
The same Condition prevails at the Old
Town mine in Russell gulch, where the
AWau,sgua at depth OF 600 feet joins
the Old Town vein. making an immense
ore shoot. If this theory be correct
then the Saratoga vein when opened by
the tunnel will be in pay ore

N { W OFFICERS
TOOK CHARGE OF COUNTY AFFAIRS
LAST TUESDAY NOON.
new BOARD HOLDS UP WARRANTS
THE LAW WHICH SAYS EACH YEARS
EXPENSES MUST BE MET WITH
THAT YEARS REVENUE.

The new board of county commission
ers-that is two-thirds of it. assembled
Tuesday afternoon. and Immediately
proceeded to undo what the too Jealous
retiring members had done the day be-
fore. The old board advertised for bids
the contracts for the ensuing year, so
that the new board would have nothing
to annoy them upon assuming their
Office. The slight favor was not
appreciated by the new board. Owing
to the exigencies of the existing con-
ditions, the new board established
precedent by electing one of its members
as chairman, ousting Commissioner
Coppard who would IN the ordinary
course of procedure, and as a member of
craftsmanship, the vote showing three
votes for Maxwell with no other candi-
dates in the field, thus placing Com
missioner Maxwell as dictator of county
appointments.
The old board had awarded the con-
tract for the county printing to one of
the highest bidders, aud the new board
proceeded to award the contract to the
lowest bidder. The Georgetown Courier
was given the contract at one-third the
legal rate. The new commissioners dis
charged every road ovcrseer IN the
county and the vacancies will be filled by
the new board.
County warrants issued by the old
board, and bearing six per cent interest
will not be accepted by the local banks.
The county is in debt to the extent of
SIS. 600 IN outstanding warrants bearing
interest at the rate Of six per cent, and
Just what method of fiuanceeriug will be
attempted by the new board is known
only TO them.
Iii is rumored that the action Of the
old board in its attempt to land the
printing plum within the democratic
basket, will involve the county in numer-
Gus and extensive legal entanglements
through the coming year.
The awarding of the supplies to ANA
teurs in competitions with established
newspapers whose owners are heavy
taxpayers, has occasioued considerable
adverse comment and severe criticism.
and the new board may be asked 20 also
rescind this action
