To Sink Under Contract.

Manager George Kimball closed cou-
,ract Tuesday with Mr.. w. w. Rodgers
for sinking the Old To vn sh ,ft lift of
400 ieet, and the work will be started
by October IS The shaft will be sunk
accompaniment size, or 5xI2 feet III the
clear The contractor is to break and
lead the rock into the skip and the
Old Town company will do the rest.
The contractor, Mr.. w. w. Rodgers, is 4
we'll known mining man who has had a
wide experience in shaft sinking. Among
the shafts which Mr.. Rodgers has sunk q
good part of their present depths are the
independence mine at Cripple Greek and
the Camp Bird mines in the San Juan
country.
The Old Town company recently com.
pleted the station al the 1, 500 foot lsvel
by sinking 40 feet below the bottom 81
of the sump. Ar electricdrlven hoist
has been installed and chutes have been
erected into which the waste rock will
be dumped, and from which the material
will be reloaded into the skips and hoist
ed 10 the surface. No trouble is antici
pated in water flow as usually at this
time of the year there is less water to
contend with than at any other time. Ii
is for this reason that the company has
delayed starting the work Of sinking un-
til this time.

Have Reached Hoosae.

Manager II. P. Dickinson is in high
spirits over the cutting of the big Hoosac
vein in that tunnel. The vein WAS inter.
sected at right angles by the round OF
holes drilled III the breast Thursday, and
yesterday and today the heading is still
in the vein matter of the Hoosac vein,
but the width will not be determined un-
til the hanging wall is reached which
may take another round or two of holes.
There is no question as to the vein being
the Hoosac and the eastern continuation
of the big Donaldson vein. II has all
of the characteristics aud is ideatical
in apps arance, having the rusty iron vug
holes and hematite splotches. AT the
point of intersection the vein has straig Mt
eued up several degrees and it was en-
countered sooner than it was expected,
the surveys and calculations being based
upon the known dip OF the vein. The
course Of the big vein will now be fol-
lowed into Bellevue mountain as soon as
the management can make curving ap-
proach to the vein by coming back a
short distance in the tunnel. The cut
ting of the Hoosac vein is of great inl-
portance both 10 the projectors of the
enterprise and to the community, as it
will shortly place the Hoosac property
among the list of big producers. Mana
ger Dickinson will, as soon as practicable,
start to mining ore in the Hoosac vein
He already has 4 carload of ore out of
the Rising Sun stope, and is unwatering
the shaft at the portal of the tunnel,
where he may decide on working the RIs
ing Sun ore shoot. The immediate erec-
ton Of ore bins is imperative and as
quickly as the timbers Can be secured
the work will be started. Assays of the
strike are being made today and will be
made public as soon as completed.

have known during the administration
of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Young
people with aspirations for practical us@-
fitness to their times and the ST re VIII
find precisely what they seek in the
sensible programs of reform which are
proposed in the Republican state pla'
form.
II was almost unnecessary to miro
duce Governor Haggot. 10 the audience
Of his friends. and his appearance was
the signal for long continued applause
which vas splendid testimonial to the
high regard in which he is held here At
home. Mr.. Hapgott COS fined his re-
marks chiefly to carefully prepored
set of statistics whereby was conclusive
ly shown the material prosperity OF the
nation under republican admii istrations
as compared to d-morslzation existing
during democratic times. The sps aker
was forceful and added much TO his
popularity.
In Judge Dixon the rrpuhl can speak
ers bureau has tower of strength, and
his intimate acquaintance with state and
national affairs and his brilliant and
pleasing manner Of delivery m a.
much for the ticket. Judge Dixon
enterta ned his audience with his'o'ica
facts regarding he rotten democratic
pol teal condition, in keen wit faying
Senator Patterson for his selhshness
crookefness and gen raj unrellability.
One OF ais most telling potns was the
reading Of extracts taken from Senator
Patterson's papers some ten years ago
when he accused his present candidate
for COVE nor OF weakness snd with no
mind or will Of his own aud unfit for
public Office. His address was inter
spersed with much Wit and arecdote,
and without question was one OF the
most convincing aud enjoyable cam
paign speeches ever delivered IN this city.

Kings Screens o. X.

Mr. Howard G. King, formerly super
inse ndent Of the Colorado Zinc Works
i'll Denver, and inventor Of the revolving
ore screens bearing his name, has been
in the city for the past week installing a
a set Of eight screens al The Jackson con-
ceutrating works. The present set is
the thlrd sy stem installed by Mr.. King,
all of the machines in operation having
given the greatest satisfaction, and hav.
ing long since passed the experimental
stage. Among the many advantages
of the new screens over the old style
trommels is the saving OF space. The
King screens occupy 81 46 inches by
S feet high over all. Each machine
weighs less than 400 pounds, being
constructed of angle iron framework
AID ID gauge galvanized iron. The
wearing parts are reinforced by heavier
sheet steel which may be easily replaced.
The King screens make a cleaner screen
ing than the old trommels or any form
Of shaking screens, which drives the fines
through the screen and utilizes every
inch of the screen space. This IS ac-
complished Sy the use Of one third
the quantity of water required for the
trommels, and is an important i.em in
some localities.
MIR. King during his long connection
with the Colorado Zinc work has become
loaded, and for some time past has been
in poor health. Now that the succt SIS oil
his invention has been proven, he in.
tends to devote his entire time in the
future to manufacturing and placing
them upon the market. Mr.. King
found while in this city that the hot tuu-
mel baths have been very beneficial to
him and he will remain for some days to
watch the operation of the screens he
has just installed. Mr.. King is brother
of Alderman Aiken, and is a guest at the
home Of the latter.

Blue Ribbon Begins.


The Blue Ribbon Bottiing aud Invest
ment company, which was incorporated
some weeks ag with capital OF $Ioo, 900
is now in position to begin active op-
eraions. The company some weeks ago
secured 20 years lease and the exclu.
sive privilege of bottling water from hot
soda springs on the property OF the Idaho
Springs Ssuitafiutn company, which was
formerly owned by the Big Five feder-
alton. Last week shaft was sunk op-
posite No hot tuuuel and a. a depth
OF IS ieet below the surface a no; spring
was encountered having a temperature
of 100 degrees and a flow Of about Ico
gallons per minute. The new spring
has been chrstened the blue Ribbon
Sel,zer Spring" The shaft will be sunk
few feet further and cased up 10 ex-
clude the seepage of cold water from the
creek bed and small bull ing will be
erected over the shaft. AS soon as prac-
ticable the company will extend pipe
line from the sprlug to its bottling works,
which latter are to be located just west of
the Cliff house Oh the property recently
purchased by the company from Ed.
Normandeau Yesterday the company
removed its Offices fyom the basement
of the Hall building and as soon as the
inconvenience incident to moving has
been settled active efforts toward pro-
ducing tangible results will be gotten
under way. The company proposes
to es ablish its own bottling works in
this city, Denver aud Council Bluff,
Iowa, Contract will be made with other
bottling works in this city, Denver and
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Contracts will be
made VITA other bottlipg companies
throughout the country to bottle the
mineral water on royalty basis, using
the name OF Blue Ribbon" thus giving
to Idaho Springs much desirable adve--
tlsing. The mineral water bo,tliug in
| the outside plants will be shipped in
large Casks, as this method of trauspor-
tation is much cheaper and makes a
saving OF freight on the bottles, and
is more satisfactory both to the bot,lers
aud consumers.
The officers of the new company arc:
President, J. N. Bradley; vice presi
dent, E. M. Sabln; secretary-treasurer,
K. ID. Blair; directors. l.. w. Brownlee,

Wheatland Starting.

W. S. Wells, of New Haven, Conn.
Il retired naval officer, and his brother,
Mr.. w. S. Wells, OF New York city, were
in the city the fore part of the week at
which time it was decided to resume
work on the Wheatland mire en- Trail
creek which has been owned by the
above gentlemen for many years past.
An K 10 Duplex at-friction hoist and
e horsepower boiler have been or
dered and will be installed during the
coming week or ten days. A contract
was awarded d. s. Holderness tor erect
ing 7ox36 shafthouse building and a
gallows frame, and contract for sink
ing a shaft 200, was awarded to AL.
Preston. The new shaft will be sunk at
the portal of the Wheataud adit on
Trail creek and will be sunk directly in.
to the big ore shoot which has been ex-
posed by two wines at SO and no feet
in from the portal of the adit. These
wines are between 40 and so feet deep
and quite little stoping has been done
in the intervening ground. The Wheat
land is generally believed to be part OF
the old Donaldson vein system and
pioba bly, forms junction with that vein
at the point it is proposed to sink the
new shaft The Wheatland is a large
vein and there is at present exposed in
the bottom Of the first Wine n inches
of ore running f44 per ton and carrying
II per cent. copper, and 4 feet of milling
ore which will assay from $e to SII per
ton. The mine has produced in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 and has been
lying idle for many years past. The
Wells brothers lived in Idaho Springs
many years ago and were in the mill
ing business. Charles Peer will erect the
machinery and and will have charge Of
the operation Of the mine as the repre-
sentative Of eastern owners.

he is s,aiwart party man. One cannot
act both with his party and against it.
His only method of making himself use-
ful as a citizen is by working within his
party for the public good. He should
his own views in the main and which
he can act most heartily, and then
he should put his force into that organ
izatio1. No one can ind party which
will do everything to please him. He
must learn how to act with other men
who are actuated with sincere motives to
make betterments as rapidly as possible.
Both in the Republican and Democratic
ments They are valuable elements and
are necessary to keep political organic
alton in balance. Then in both parties
he will find progressive elements. bu,

poses gradual changes which do not
