New LeadviIIe Placers.

Work that will mean the opening up
of vast virgin country in Big Evans
gulch will commence this week, when
the Citizens Mining company. of
which Major Bohn is the head Or
ganizer, will start sinking on the
Mammoth placer, on which they have
taken lease, says the Leadville Dem
ocrat. The company is composed
mostly of local men, although there
are two directors from st. Louis. A
contract has been let to A. G.. McDon-
aid for the sinking of a shaft which
will commence at once. 500 feet and
deeper if necessary. The placer has
never been operated before. 1t lies in
Big Evans, between the Ell Paso and
Evansville, and is east of the Paw
nolos. There are no other workings
near it. Ore has already been proved
to exist for some time ago a drill hole
was bored to depth of 600 feet, and
ten-foot body of high-grade sulphides
and galena discovered. 1t is to exploit
this that the property will be operated.
The land is owned by John Harvey.
Tingley S. Wood, Henry r. Pendery
and Judge Frank w. Overs. The Citi-
zens' Mining Company, which has al
ready filed articles of incorporation
NTH the secretary of state, has taken
a ten years lease on the property, and
the work done on it will be extensive.
There are sixty acres of good placer

Calcium Carbide Explosive.

German papers state that acetylene
gas, generated from calcium carbide
by the addition of water, has not met
expectations for lighting, which, how
ever. were very great. On account of
the ease with which a gas for lighting
purposes could be obtained, it was be-
lieved that 1t would be used very ex-
tensively, but the boom in the acety-
lene industry did not last long. New
uses for the gas have been looked for
for some time. The latest invention
is its use as an explosive.
BY means of an air mixture explo-
sive force is obtained which can CON-
pete with that OF powder and dyna-
mite. The explosion takes place in an
air chamber and is caused by an elec-
trio spark. For this purpose carbide
of calcium is reduced to small parti-
cles. and put into a cartridge, consist
ing of tin box. In this the carbide
lies at the bottom and above 1t is a
partition filled with water. Above this
is a vacant space with the electric
percussion device. On the side of the
cartridge is an iron pin by means OF
which the partition between the car
bide and the water can be perforated.
After the drill hole has been COM
pleted the cartridge is placed into it
and the hole Is closed with a wooden
stopper. Then the protruding iron pin
is dealt blow by which the partition
is perforated and the water is caused
to come in contact with the carbide,
whereby acetylene gas is generated.
This mixes with the air of the drill
hole. After five minutes the gas is ig-
nited by an electric spark.
By this method of blasting, the rock
is said to be thrown out, but rent with
innumerable cracks. so that it can be
easily removed afterwards. About
one and seven-tenths ounces of car
bide, which produce about sixteen
quarts Of acetylene gas, are used for
each cartridge.

NEWS FROM the MINES and MILLS
Saratoga Mine Option.

A special dispatch from Golden to
the Denver Republican April 14th
says: A. A. Ireland Of Golden and c.
A. King of Idaho Springs have secured
an option on the Saratoga mine at
Idaho Springs from Messrs. Owens and
Morgan, the owners. Mr.. ireland re-
turned from Idaho Springs tonight
and when asked to confirm the report
he said:
Eyes, Mr.. King and have secured
the option on the Saratoga. We were
promised this about three months ago,
when they expected to cut the vein,
but an error in the survey caused the
delay. / have been in touch with east
ern capitalists who are not strangers
to Colorado's inducements to investors
and while the Saratoga comes to me
as hard proposition from the fact
of its not yet being unwatered. yet
having in the past placed many large
deals with the same people, feel con-
fident of success"
The Saratoga was discovered in 1864
and $4,000 worth of free milling ore
was shipped from the surface work
ings. After this the mine was worked
under lease and produced about $780,
600 net profit up to the year 1886. and
from that time to 1896 the books of
the company show net profit of about
100000.
From this time on until the mine
was closed down it made a steady pro-
duction under the management of Pro-
lessor Carpenter, under whom the eX-
tensive lower developments were ac-
nnm nil iC Inc hot hn nj ion
was under his management cannot be
stated, but it is known that extensive
bodies of ore have been opened in the
lower workings, the vein in places be-
ing over twenty feet wide.
1t is estimated that there now re-
mains over 100000 worth of low
grade ore on the stulls above the
seventh level, where the smelling or
high grade ore has been stopped out.
Besides this there ar hundrds of thou
sands of tons of both low and high
grade ore left exposed in the lower
levels.
The Saratoga property includes
nineteen claims in a compact block at
the eastern or lower end of the Rus
sell gulch district. The principal shaft
is 1000 feet deep, with several miles
of lower levels extending therefrom.
The ninth level from the main shaft
extends westerly $500 feet and about
1900 feet easterly. In all the levels
above the seventh there are immense
slopes from which ore has been mined
and there are great reserves not
touched. Especially is this true in the
levels below the seventh. where the
difficulty from water has made opera
tions expensive and which, for long
periods, have been submerged.
These great difficulties have been
overcome by the cutting of the mother
vein and its wonderful ore bodies by
the Newhouse tunnel. which will
drain the mine in a short time and
supply an economical outlet through
which to handle all of the low grade
ore products. delivering them at the
mill at the mouth of the tunnel.

IL had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years, " said Miss

from which she was driven by nervous

Of two teachers. The strain was too

the crisis came.
Il was prostrated mentally and ply

expected to be able to resume work. It
seemed to me then that was the most
miserable woman ON earth. I was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to sleep, and had so little
blood that was as white as chalk.
"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings Of years
for medicines which did me no good"
"How didy you get back your health"
"a bare chance and lot of faith led
me to a cure. After I had suffered for
many months, and when was on the
very verge of despair, I happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state

help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for a trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when had used
them up, was indeed well and had no

"Dr. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all

Newhouse TuneI Contracts.

An Idaho Springs special to the
Denver Republican April 10th says:
Work in the breast of the Newhouse
tunnel was suspended last night pend
ing the making and signing of con-
tracts with those holding properties
along the proposed extension of the
tunnel. 1t has been driven about
seventy-five feet beyond the Saratoga
so ms to give the latter the advantage
of trackage and switching facilities.
The owners of the Saratoga will be-
gin excavating for a station and then
commence drifting so as to strike the
old workings. The trolley line of the
Newhouse will be extended from its
present terminus to the Saratoga, a
distance of about 1000 feet, so as to
take the ore and rock out to the dump
by electric power. Heretofore mules
have been used. 1t is expected that
in short time the contracts with the
Newhouse tunnel by mine owners
along the line will be completed when
the work of driving will be resumed.

A Cripple Creek correspondent says
that the officers of the Portland Gold
Mining Company have decided not to
lease the big dump at the No. shaft.
Instead they will treat 1t at the COM
panys mill in the valley. The conclu-
sion was reached because a splendid
margin Of profit can be secured. 1t is
estimated that there are 100000 tons
of rock in the dump that will average
about SO to the ton in gold. which
means an asset worth in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. 1t Is safe to say
that the profit will amount to fully
one.third or perhaps more. of the
grand total. The entire dump will be
shipped without sorting. This. how
ever will not be done now, but the
dump will remain as 1t Is until ore Is
needed That will not be for years,
however, for there are millions of dol
lars worth of ore blocked out in the
mine. The No. 2 dump is leased and
some ore is being saved, but little work
is being done now, on account or the
