Western Michigan Flooded

Grand Rapids, Mich, June L. The

result of the torrential rains OF the
past twenty-four hours shows no i'm

LeadviIIe's Output in May.

According to the estimates of the
railroads and smelters for the thirty
one days of May the monthly output
for the camp was slightly over 10000
tons. This is an increase of something
over 5000 tons above the figures for
April and shows gratifying steadi-
ness in the output, which is calculated
to make this year banner one in
Leadville's history. What helps to
swell the figures is the general condi-
tion of the roads, which are good, the
opening up of several new ore bodies
for which contracts have been let for
shipping, and increase in the shipment
of zinc. More and more of this metal
is being handled by the smelters each
month and the figures are steadily
growing.
The demand for Leadville zinc is
also increased by the fact that little
is being taken from any other point
in the state at the present time and
Colorado's zinc output is almost entire
ly dependent upon the amount that
leaves this camp. For this reason sew
eral mines commenced to ship this ma
terial last month and will continue un-
til the mill at Telluride opens, when
the outside demand will not be so
heavy upon Leadville.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Activity at Junkins Park.


The Florence correspondent of the
Denver News takes an optimistic view
of the new Junkins Park district. He
says:
Junkins Park is taking on renewed
activity. With the exception of a few
shaded spots in the timber the snow
has gone and all parts of the park are
accessible to prospectors. 1t is located
on the headwaters of the middle trib-
utary of Hardscrabble creek, three
miles due east of Querida, in the
midst Of the volcanic zones that ex-
tend west from Querida to Silver Cliff,
and east to the western slope of the
Greenhorn range. 1t is about twenty
eight miles from Florence by the way
of Hardscrabble canon, and about
forty miles from Florence by the way
of Querida. The road through Hard
scrabble is rough, but in short time
will be easy of access, as the road COM
missioner is repairing the road as rap
idly as possible.
More than $50 claims are already
surveyed and recorded. Much devel-
opment work is being done, and before
fall the permanency of the camp will
be fully decided. That gold exists there
in abundance no one who is familiar
with the conditions will question.
Float can be picked up within the
mineralized zone anywhere that will

Rich Sandstorm Strike.

Denver and Colorado people own
large interests in the Loftus-Davs
lease of the rich Sandstorm mine at
Goldfield. Nevada, as well as more or
less stock in the mine. A Tonopah dis
patch of June 9TH says:
"On the Loftus-Davis lease on the
Sandstorm a strike was made yester
day that equals in value anything
struck for months in Goldfield. The
strike was made in virgin ground. Ore
carrying values of 100000 per ton in
gold was encountered on the thirty
foot level of new shaft that has been
sunk seventy-five feet. On the thirty
foot level the miners ran across very
favorable indications of a rich find
and it was decided to drift from that
point. Only a few feet had been driven
when the great find was made. thus
making another marvellous record for
Sandstorm, the mine that now ia
known as one of the richest in the
West. The stock for several days past
had been lowering around 3S cents, but
yesterday as soon as the great strike
became known it quickly rose to the

It is announced in Seattle says a

kind. and 1t will be almost impossible
to take away the business after Seat
tie has once secured 1t. The building

who realize that Alaska can furnish

trates and 5000 ton pure" continued
Mr.. Burton, "and up there at Cope

we have found a vein of ore and we are
certain of results. There will be a
whole lot of concentrates sent down

LeadvilIe Drainage Developments.

With the thousands of dollars that
have been spent in fighting the water
in the Penrose and Coronado mines in
the downtown section, actual benefit
to the camp is now beginning to show
Recent discoveries tend to show that
the water being taken out of those two
mines at an enormous monthly ex-
peHse is draining other portions of the
district. This brings up again the old
question of whether the flow in the Mi
das properties comes from an under
ground lake and is being slowly ex-
hausted by the pumps.
The discovery was made a few days
ago by mining man on a visit to the
old Valentine property, long one of the
wet properties and on account OF
which it was abandoned. found that
the shaft, which formerly contained
many feet of water, is now dry. This
was taken to be conclusive proof that
the water taken from the two Midas
properties has effectually drained the
Valentine. 1t was also discovered that
the Hoffer shaft north of town, also a
wet shaft, had lost much of it's water
and appeared to be slowly drying.
This means the draining through the
Penrose of two separate sections of the
camp.
If it is true that there is an under
ground lake which the big pumps in
the Penrose and Coronado are drain
ing, the next step of the Midas COM
pany which contemplates placing
triple expansion pumps at the Penrose
will prove of inestimable benefit to the
whole camp.
AS the sinking continues in either
the Penrose or the Coronado after the
water is drained, the developments will
be of particular interest which is in
creased by this new feature of the
case. 1t will probably go far towards
determining whether the surmrise of
some of the experts on the water ques-
tion at present is correct-Leadville

Immense Mineral Wealth.

We are indebted to Ores and Met
ais for a compilation of interesting sta
tistics showing what the West has
done for the country in the matter of
adding to its mineral wealth. These
figures are as follows:
Colorado, gold and silver. .$711 900, 900
California, gold and silver 620,000,000
Nevada, gold and silver. 504 100000
Montana, gold and silver. 424,000,000
Utah, gold and silver ..... 20S, 100000
Idaho, gold and silver.... 167,O0O,000
South Dakota, gold and sill
yer. ................. 10000, 900
Arizona, gold and silver... los, 100000
Oregon and Washington,
gold and silver. .......... 100000
New Mexico, gold and sill
yer. ........... 4o,VVV,VVV
1t will be seen that Colorado leads
all the rest in this table, which gives
the sum total for the past thirty-eight
years.
The remarkable fact is that in spite
of the continuous stream of precious
metal that is flowing from the mines
of this and other states the supply is
seemingly inexhaustible. 1t takes
uCSpSl ulihihs5, IL lC4uA CO luC SAPChui-
ture of a greater amount of capital, but
it is this steady work, as Ores and
Metals says, this constant application
that has resulted in such a produc-
ton. No matter what the problem, it
has been solved. If change in the
character of the ore, the metallurgist
attacked it, and followed it until solu
ton was found; if mining problem,
1t was solved; experience was the
greatest teacher, as in all cases. Rail-
way lines were constructed through
hundreds of miles of canons and
gulches, over mountain passes, and
where that was impossible, long tun-
nels were driven through the backbone
of the Rocky mountains to carry the
railroad lines from the reduction
plants to the mines. 1t has been this
indomitable spirit, that knows no de-
feat, that recognizes no disappoint-
ment, calculates no result except sue
cess, that has brought about this mar
velous achievement-an achievement
that has been without a parallel.
