The Hudson.Burr Tunnel.

The Hudson Burr tunnel, which is
being driven from the Clear Creek side
on Night Hawk hill through the mount
ain to cut the vein of the Summit mine
owned by the Fostoria Gold Mining
company, is now in distance of 1900
feet At this point the driving of the
tunnel was temporarily suspended and
drifting commenced on the Celestine
vein. 1t is expected by drifting short
distance the junction of the Celestine
and Summit veins will be reached. The
st. Joseph, which is located on Night
Hawk hill, near the Summit, and Gala
tea, was cut last November and the Gala.
tea short time afterward. As soon as
these veins we're cut, the workings were
drained entirely of water which was up
within short distance Of the surface in
both mines. Progress in driving the
tunnel and the drift to the Summit
property is being made at the rate of a
lite over five feet per day. The work
would, doubtless, have been completed
ere this had it not been for large flow
OF water through the tunnel in the early
spring preventing operations for month
and half.
The Summit mine is down to depth
OF go feet and the tunnel will undercut
at 600. AS soon as the desired point is
reached by the tunnel, sinking will be
pushed in the shaft to connect with the
tunnel, while an upiaise will be driven
from the tunnel. All three mines, the
st. Joseph, Galatea and Summit have
been drained. Within a short time, as
soon rs arrangements now pending are
completed, the st. Joseph will resume
operations and will be worked both
through the tunnel and the shaft. Mr.
Cole, Of Denver, owner Of the Galatea
intends to commence work on his mine
during the early summer.

Pleasant Valley Mining & Milling Company on
Road 10 Fortune.
NEW MILL TO HANDLE OUTPUT OF MINES

The big streak Of smelling and milling
ore which was encountered at depth Of
200 feet in one OF the mines Of the Pleas
ant Valley Mining & Milling company.
operating group OF properties at the
Banta- Hill ranch, looks better every time
round Of shots breaks down the ore.
The streak is over three feet in width,
and eighteen inches Of this is smelling
ore. This gives values of between $500
and $4,000 to the ton. The vein is not
only large but loose, round of shots
easily breaking from three to five tons.
There is no doubt about the continuity
OF the vein, which makes this one Of the
very best strikes since the Bsnta- Hill
properties have been operating.
Yesterday ten additional stamps were
connected with the motive power in the
mill recently erected to treat the ores
from the several properties Of the Pleas
ant Valley company. This makes twenty
stamps now in operation and there is
plenty OF room for the installation Of as
many more as soon as the output of the
properties warrant the addition. This
mill was erected according to K. L. Mar
tins manager of the Banta- Hill proper
ties) designs and plans. 1t is large and
the arrangement complete and sys.
tematic. The cost OF handling ore has
been cut down to the minimum and the
treatment process is SO perfect the
chances oflosing the slightest values have
been eliminated. Thus it can be seen
that this new mill is one of the very best
constructed in any mining section. i
short distance from the mill a spa
cious assay Office is in the course of con-
s,ruction, which will be completed within
another month. This building willsnot
alone be used for assaying purposes but
will be arranged SO that some Of THE
space can be utilized for business olfice
for the manager. 80
While the announcement >6f me -
strike in one Of the mines that R. L..
Martin is managing was received
with pleasure by the entire district, it by
no means came as surprise. The gen.
tleman's unremitting perseverance in op-
Grating mines in this section has con-
vinced everyone that it is only question
OF time until be will encounter some
thing fabuiously rich. Mr.. Martin has
the utmost confidence in the future of
Gilpin county and is thoughtful enough
for the county's welfare to let every one
know it.

Old Kentucky Almost UnWatered.

Water is still being hoisted from the
'0ld kentucky mine, located in Silver
Lake district. This property was started
two weeks ago after an idleness of few
years. 1t is owned by Denver COM
paDy. A short time ago the under
ground workings were inspected by VIM.
A. Parish, the we'll known Colorado ex-
pert who made a very favorable report.
Notwithstanding the period of inac-
tivity, the buildings and machinery on
the Old Kentucky were carefully looked
after, watchman being employed most
OF the time, and the mine and equipment
are therefore ready for immediate opera
tion after draining ceases. The shaft is
down 6lS feet. Smelling ore extracted
Of copper iron variety during the time
it was last operated averaged 5000 per
ton and the mill dirt over $1,000. Mr.. p
P. Rooney, the manager of the mine
claims his company intends to erect a
mill for the treatment Of the Old Ken
lucky ore as soon as development is com.
pleted and the property becom es a steady
producer.

Improvements BEING Made on the 0. K.

A cave in occurred in the shaft of the
o. X. mine at the 200.foot level last
Thursday. The extent of the cavern is
not known but it is supposed to be about
seventy-five feet. Work of cleaning out
the shaft and retimbering has already
commenced and about three weeks will
be required to put it in proper shape.
Three shifts are working on the repairs
AS soon as these improvements have
been made drifting and stoping will be
started in the 500 and GOO levels. A three
foot streak Of good milling and smelling
ore had been opened up in the 500 level
just before the shaft caved in. Among
the improvements to be made by the
company which bought the o. X. last
week, will be the installation OF new
hoist OF large capacity. The one now in
use is an old style machine and is made.
quate to do the work required.

Making Great Preparations to Open Up The
Famous AduddeN Mine.
MILL AND MINE CONNECTED BY AERIAL TRAN

The Taawasa Gold Mining and Cyan.
iding company, composed Of strong
syndicate OF New York capitalists, con-
template heavy operations on the famous
Aduddell mine in the Russell district.
The company recently purchased mill
on South Clear creek to be used for
treating the product Of the mine. This
mill will be remodeled, and will have a
capacity Of treating from $50 to 300 tons
OF ore per day. Eighty stamps will be
contained in the building with the most
modern and economic appliances for
treating the output Of the property. An
aerial gravity tram will be erected to
transfer the ore from mine to mill, thus
bringing this item of expense down to a
minimum. The old shaft on the Adud.
dell is 45O feet deep and has produced
thousands Of tons of ore Of a very fair
grade. This shaft will be retimbered
from top to bottom and new shaft will
also be sunk on the vein short distance
from the old.one. Men have been put to
work excavating for new shaft house
on the old shaft to take the place of the
one which was burned down several years
ago. The tram is to be run from the
new shaft to the mill and will be one of
the finest in the state. The Aduddell
is very large vein, in fact one OF the
largest in the state, and although the
grade OF ore is not as high as many other
mines in the district, still the great ore
bodies it contains more than offset the
quality OF ore in many higher grade
properties. Mr.. Charles j. Garvin is the
Superintendent of the property. He is
a mining man Of wide experience and
was superintendent of the Portland mine
at Victor until 1903.

Bonded and Leased.

The Six Day Mining & Milling Com
pany have taken lase and bond for
$4,000 on the Smart group Of claims at
the head OF Gambell gulcb in Inds pend.
ent district. The Perigo twenty five
stamp mill also figures in the deal and
will treat the ores. New machinery will
be installed on one OF the claims Of the
group and development OF the property
commenced at once. Gen. John Chase
Of Denver made the transfer Of the prop
erty, and the principal stockholders Of
the company are Denver men. The Six
Day company is capitalized for $500 600.

The factional split in the republican

But if Mr.. Cannon'S friends want TO

them nay. The convention will be held
at about the opening of the circus sea

be shotted in order to make Roadway

TRIBUTE TO A SERVANT.
Mark Twain Ranks Late Employee
With Statement.

Samuel L. Clemens, the famous hui
morist, who recently attended the fG
neral of his old servant, Patrick Nc
Aleer, at Hartford. Conn, paid the fcl
lowing tribute to his former employee
Il have never known 4 finer human
being than Patrick McAleer, and
never knew him TO be in error but
once in my life. That was when il
talking with another of my servants
he said he had been in my employ for
thirty five years.
"Thirty-five years he said it was, but
in reality it was ten years less. In
making his calculation Patrick counted
in the ten years we spent abroad with
out him. He seemed to feel that ii was
not his fault that we went away and
that our absence ought not TO count i'll
reckoning up his term of service.
In all the time he was with Mrs.
Clemens and myself he never ran out
of anything. 1 have had other serv-
ants who would say, Mr.. Clemens, 1
forgot, and there isn't a cigar in the
house. but that never happened with
Patrick McAleer. for he never forgot
anything, and l never had to give him
an order.
HE was just the age of Mrs. Glenn
ems, and he entered my employ the day
before l was married. He was as full
of life as a watch spring, and he knew
everything there was to know about
his business. His life ought to rank
with that of great soldiers, statesmen
and chief Justices, for they We're no
more proficient in their professions
than he was in his.
"He was with me last summer in
Dublin, y. H, and 1t did not seem to
me that he was n day older than be
was when he first entered my employ.
His hair was just as black as it ever
was, and he was just as efficient. 1
did not give him an order during the
summer. and he did not need one. He
knew just what 1 wanted. l shall new
er find a man more faithful, loyal and
honest than he was"
Mr.. Clemens sent n large floral
wreath TO the McAleer home.

Railways In Business.

The decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the Chesapeake
Il Ohio case is both significant and
farreaching. In a word. the court
holds that a railroad company cannot
engage in trade. 1t must confine it
self to the business of transportation.
IL is not chartered as a merchant, but
as common carrier.
The decision commends itself to JUS
tice and common sense and the only
wonder is that it has not stood as the
law of the land.
Suppose a railroad company should
be allowed in the dry goods business.
BY reason of its advantage it could
drive out the dry goods merchant who
owns no railroad The railroad could
carry its own goods cheaper than it's
competitor and sell them cheaper
If a railroad company should not be
allowed to engage in the dry goods
business, should it be permitted to
engage in the coal mining business?
Yet that is precisely what the anthra-
cite railroads of the east are doing.
They own and operate mines and sell
the product. Competition is impossi-
BILE. Holding the monopoly of fuel and
of transportation, they are able to fix
the price of coal and thus hold the con-
sumers at their mercy
The supreme court says they cannot
do this in so far as interstate COM
merce is concerned. But would it
not be possible for these railroad com
panies to reorganize and confine them
selves to state commerce?

The residents in the neighberhood of

an early hour yesterday morning by pistol
shots and stentorian cries of Stop him.
and There he goesr' Policeman McDon-
aid had seen dark man with a dress suit
case near. the corner of Fillmore and
Washington streets. AS he walked up to
the fellow the stranger walked away The
policeman ordered him to halt and the
man broke into run.
Still clinging to the dress suit case, the
man sped up jackson street and down
Steiner. Despite the fact tnat he was
hampered by the bundle he carried, Nc
Donald 8 quarry gained upon him at every
step. As the policeman had never taken a
medal for the hundred-yard dash he de-
cided that the only way to capture the
man would be to resort to his pocket ord
nance.
He drew his revolver and fired twice.
The fugitive ducked into a yard and into
a chicken house. He escaped through the
back entrance. though it is usually used
by chickens only, and was lost in maze
OF back yards. Policeman Mcdonald, be-
ing no spring chicken, was unable to fol-
low.
Great excitement ensued in the chicken
house. The abode is still under police
surveillance. No burglaries have been re-
ported In the neighborhood, and 1t is still
an open question what the man carried
in the suit case and why he ran.
