Molybdenlte Discovery.

The accidental discovery of lead OF
molybednite. less than a year ago, nine
miles southeast of this city, says the
Buena Vista correspondent sof the Den.
yer Republican, in the Chalk Creek dis
trict, by H. c. Hayes, locomotive en-
gineer of the Southern Pacific railway
Of California, has turned out to be one
of the most important strikes made io
this locality for years. The lucky en-
gineer was returning from fruitles.;
hunting trip when he slipped and fell
into narrow canon, landing fairly Oh
top OF the outcropping. Not knowins,
what mineral he had found, but believ-
ing 1t to be valuable, he took some oi
1t home with him, and analysis dis
closed the Importance of the find.
He returned to California, intereste.,
capital in the venture, and stated
when in town this week that $1O,0Oo
had been raised for the development
of the vein this season. Present worA
consists of a thirty-five-foot incline on
the vein, which is four feet wide, a
streak of ninety-two per cent. pure
molybdenite being in place on the
foot wall. On the hanging wall there
Is similar streak of gold-copper ore
assaying $50 ton. The vein is true
fissure in the granite, with nearly
north and south trend.
Two men are saving each shift TWEEN
ty pounds of the molybdenite, which
is worth $2.75 a pound. One slab of
this rare mineral, four inches thick
and 16x20 inches in size. weighing $50
pounds, has been saved, and will b..
sent to the State Bureau of Mines.
A tunnel well down the mountain
side will be started at once and the
vein cut at considerable depth. Ade-
quate improvements have been added
in the shape of comfortable buildings,
and steam plant with machine drills
is contemplated.
Finding molybdenite in this section,
in such quantities as opened ih the
workings of the Colorado Molydenum
Development Company-the name OF
the new company-:s of great import
ance, more particularly when 1t Is
known there are but three mines in
America producing this mineral in
quantity, all controlled by o.e COM
pany, the Molybdenum Manufacturing
Company of California. Molybdenum
is entering into the manufacture of va
rious articles of commerce, the latest
use for it being in the manufacture of
high explosives.

Newhouse Tunnel Progress.

The new equipment to be installed in
the recently erected powerhouse at the
Newhouse tunnel, is expected 10 be
ready for shipment within ten days.
says the correspondent of the Denver
Republican. The equipment consists
of a compressor, with a capacity of
] 600 cubic feet a minute. The com
,pressor will be driven by electricity.
Several additional transformers will he
installed, and when the new plant is
lin commission the Newhouse tunnei
will be operated exclusively by cleo
tricity, and have one of the finest
plants in the state.
During June Contractor Knowles
drove the tunnel 254 feet. which is a
good record, considering the hard rock
encountered. The tunnel is now lit
tie over three miles. this point hav-
ing been passed July 1st
; July 1st the lateral being driven east
on the Saratoga vein from the New
house tunnel was in 1870 feet. accord
ing to The measurements OF the sur
.veyor, and directly under the old
,stokes in the eighth and ninth levels
west from No. Saratoga shaft, where
the vein is from eight to twelve feet
wide. and all pay ore for over 600 feet.
The lateral shows a streak eight to
fourteen inches wide assaying 3.20
ounces gold, $50 ounces silver and car
rying seven per cent. copper, the gross
value OF which is $3.50 per ton. There
lis also exposed thirty-four inches of
ere, assaying 1.04 ounces gold and $40
ounces silver. or gross value OF $24.31
IA ton. A switch is being put In near
the heading. In all probability when
the tunnel Is extended short distance
the big main ore shoot OF the mother
lode will be encountered.

To Handle Tungsten Ores.

Thomas Tonge. who has given con
siderable attention to the tungsten
field of Boulder county. says that the
purchase by the newly organized Stein
& Boericke Mining Company OF the
tungsten mines and mill OF the Great
Western Eploration and Reduction
Company, OF which latter company
Morris ]. Jones has been general man.

which latter company for twenty years
last has been the handling OF the rarer
metals. including tungsten, and at the
present time the company Is rcputed
tn handle not less than One-third OF the
total tungsten production OF the world.
The Stein a. Boericke Mining Com
Iany will establish n sampling works
at their mines on Gordon gulch for the
purpose of samplins, assaying and pur-
chasing crude ore (besides treating
their own ore), on the same system as
other sampling works throughout Colo
rado handle gold and silver ore.
The past annual production Of the
Boulder field IL said to have been about
$50 tons of concentrates. averaging
sixty per cent. tungsten. while the pro-
duction for this year is expected to be
close on to 600 tons.
The Boulder county tungsten ores
are said to be specially suited for maxi
INK products used for coloring, etc,
purposes; In glass, pottery, etc, as
well as for special steels and railroad
material.

While this is true of individuals. il
stands good in the majority of the
nation.
If a record of the perpetrators
were kept of those who participate
in mobs and lynchings of the color
ed man, the majority would be con-
fined to that class who use small
means of improvement, such as
providing themselves with good
books, newspapers and periodicals
to read. They are adverse to the
existence of the Negro, no matter
what improvement he may make,
nor do they look with favor to his
steps of advancement. His one
thought is to limit our progress and
advancement by determination.
To the Negoo, may add that it
behooves us to connect ourselves
with every good thought, to show
to the world that we are worthy of
existence. If we are to initiate our
superior, mimic his good actions,
we have farther to go than he, We
have just mounted the steps, now
we are to ascend the stairway. We
could all be good and yet there
would be room for improvement.
