made of the underground workings and

Citl Loses It's Case.

The condemnation suit brought by
the City of Central against the Lincoln
Mining, Milling & Tunnel company in
the county court last week was not con-
Guided Until Saturday. The suit was to
condemn strip of ground for headtake
and intake from Park placer and certain
lode. claims of the Lincoln company.
Lincoln Mining company contended that
the action of the City was an attempt to
take not only the ground but also the
water rights by condemnation and that
the action of the city damaged their
placer claims. City claimed that the
company was only entitled to $1,000
damages. The jury brought in a verdict
allowing the mining company damages
to the extent of s43350O. As the juris.
diction of the county court. in damage
suits brought before it does not exceed
$1,000 the case will be dismissed. 1t
may go to the district court.

"On The Bridge al MidniQhl."

In refreshing contrast with the cheap
ly sensational claptrap of some plays of
alleged heart interest is "On the Bridge
at Midnight" comedy crama which
will be seen here n the near future. The
story is the frank, honest and natural
narration in play form of the search of a
blind mother for her stolen child and her
experiences, exciting and sometimes
tinged with pathetic humor, grip the at
tention Of the audiences from start to
finish 1t is moreover a wholesome story
and there are few characters on the stage
that have won wider popularity than
Germany and Reddy. The scenery is
remarkable and of course reaches a eli
max in the setting that gives the play
its name showing, with faithfulness in
detail, the huge lift bridge over the
Chicago river, scenes along that city's
hidden stream, and a steamer passing
through the draw. The company is far
above the average.

is nearing the finishing touches of the
carpenters, the roof being put on. The
shaft has been retimbered almost down
to the water line, and the debris that
has accumulated for the past year or so
is being lifted up. In cleaning out the
shaft little upright boiler and engine is
being used. Every thing in and about
this mine is being done to mako the same
the most modern and up. .to.date prop
erty in the county, and it will not be
more than month or so before they will
be lowering the water in this famous
mine. When this occurs it will mean
the opening of many other mines in that
vicinity, for as the water is lowered in
this shaft it drains the ground there

ed in much more economical way.

level. At least 100000 worth of ore is
blocked out and held in reserve, besides
the large amounts of mill dirt already
treated and yet remaining to be concen-
trated. All Of this has been done in the
process OF development-he Mr..
Mountz's theory of keeping development
ahead of production. The Mackey has
long since passed the experimental or
prospecting stage and is well developed
mine, but as Manager Mountz says "The
Mackey has not begun to be developed; !;
we haven't even started to develop our
property, and yet look at the vast
amount of capital we have expended in
developing all our holdings" Right you
are, Mr.. Mountz, to develop such a prop
erty as you are now manager of takes
plenty of capital, but look at the won
derful showing you have made: look at
the vast and continuous ore bodies you
have opened up and the amount of hard
and earnest labor spent in the interests
of the Imperial company, and we say
that for the large amount of development
work done on the properties of the above
company which has been carried on in
most economical manner, the capital ex-
pended has been very small. Few peo
pie realize the cost of mining and the
actual expense of developing prospect
hole into mine. The practical mining
man of today will tell you to develop
your property to the greatest extent
possible. find the ore and then keep on
developing. This system the Mackey
property has already followed, and for
this reason alone we predict for that
mine most glorious future.
While the transportation facilities of
this district are considerably above the
average for mining camps, they are to be
greatly improved. There is a fine wagon
road from Apex to Central City and
Black Hawk, eight miles away, but the
means OF transporting the ores from the
mines to the market are to be made
much better, and that very soon. The
Colorado Il Southern railroad company
has made two surveys as far as Apex
one from Black Hawk up Pine creek, the
other from Central City, following the
divide to the town of Apex. The new
Motfat road runs within four miles OF
the Mackey mine and that company has
offered to help build fine wagon road
to the railroad, nearly all down grade
from the camp. Agreat Improvement in
transportation facilities is now a fore
gone conclusion, as both roads are after
the business of this district.
The new mill, which is situated to the
west of the Mackey mine, when COM
pleted, will be one of the best equipped
and up to date mills in Gilpin county
The old mill, which was located at the
junction of Elk and Pine creeks, was
torn down some few months ago and
moved to the Mackey mine, where some
parts of it were used in the erection OF
the new mill, which is of the cyanide
process. Recent tests have proved this
method as being very satisfactory and
the future outlook for the Imperial Gold
Mining and Milling company is bright
one, and Mr.. Mountz we wish you sue
cess in all your undertakings.

Bessemer Steel.

The so called bessemer process Of
making steel by injecting air blasts
into molten iron was discovered first
by an American named Kelly and
known as his air boiling process. After
the ironworkers had seen it done they
still would not believe it. "Some crank
will be burning ice next thing" they
said. Some of his customers when
they heard about it wrote Kelly that
they wanted their iron made either in
the regular way, and not by any new
tangled method, or not at all. When
the first blast was so strong that it
melted the iron the spectators roared
with laughter at what they called
"Kelly's fireworks" and laughed for
ten years at his folly" When Besse-
mer introduced his process to the Brit
ish lronmakers they, too. roared with
laughter at the "crazy Erenchman"
and would not allow the SILLY idea" to
be mentioned in their records. The
steel rail proposition excited only de-
risiOn. "Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Nom
sense" said the railroad directors
when it was proposed to them. But
after one road had tried it the steel
mills could not keep up with the Or
ders sent in.
