but they are assured Of ample financial
support. When accomplished it will
signalize the opening Of an epoch of vast
consequence to Gilpin county. 1t will
mean the reopening Of scores Of long
idle mineral veins. Instead of sending
out 1000 to 5000 tons of all grades per
month, the volume will amount up to as
many tons per week. When Russell and
contiguous sections are provided with
mills and hoists operated by cheap cleo
trio power, every business artery in the
county will be expanded far beyond the
best that has been done since the incep-
tion Of industry here. In word, there
will be an era Of development with op-
'portunities for the acquisition Of fortune
transcending the most sanguine former
predictions OF its oldest Inhabitants

Injured In a RunaWau.

FL. Hartman, we'll known mining man
Of this city, was badly cut about the head
in runaway accident Monday. He had
driven J. G. Fleschhutz' mare in from
the Pewabic mine in Russell for some
supplies and was returning, when at the
railroad crossing on Spring street the
animal became frightened at the incom-
ing train. She turned suddenly and
upset the buggy. throwing herself. Mr..
Hartman did not have time to jump and
was caught underneath the vehicle and
bruised his hip beside sustaining the in
juries above mentioned. He was taken
to the office Of j. G. Asquith and had his
injuries attended to.
The horse in getting up after falling
in some peculiar manner righted the
buggy and dashed down Main street,
and evaded wagons and teams much
better than it would while going at the
lively clip should a woman have been
driving her. At the Williams stables
she came to sudden stop, with the bug
gy not damaged in the least.

SARATOGA Soon to Start.

John Owen, manager Of the Saratoga
mine in Russell Gulch, was in the city
Tuesday purchasing machinery for the
above property and some other mines in
the county, which he intends to start
working within short time. In speak.
ing OF the headway being made at the
Saratoga in draining The water, Mr..
Owen said the water was going down
much faster than he had anticipated.
The newhouse tunnel is doing much in
draining the property, which is evident
from the fact that in the morning, after
hoisting has been suspended during the
night, in the morning the water is
considerably lower than it was ten or
twelve hours before.
A large body Of very good ore has
been encountered in the Newhouse and
within month, when it is expected that
the mine will be draineo completely, a
large force of miners will be put to wol k
in the lower level. These will 90 down
through the shaft, and as they will re-.
side 10 Russell and vicinity it will add
greatly to the working forces of the
county.
The Saratoga, while practically idle
for the past four years, with the excep-
tion OF little work done by lessees, was
wonderful producer the last few years
it was worked to any extent by the CON-
pany. UP until 1900 the production ex-
ceeded 100000, with shipment rec.
ord as high as 1,1O0 tons per month.
The average value of the ore at that time
was between $1,000 and $500 per ton.
There are about twenty claims embraced
in the Saratoga group, covering between
forty and fifty acres of ground.
