interesting and spirited. The negative
were given the vote Of two OF the judges.

4 local pool of Russell Gulch people
have taken lease and bond on the Den
by mine in upper Russell district, just
west of the Gold Rock. They are now
taking out the water and expect to have
it all out this week, after which retm-
bering and general fixing Of the shaft
will commence. The water has not been
taken out OF this mine for period of
some twelve years, although leasers have
worked some Of the upper levels few
years ago. The shaft is about 400 feet
deep. After the shaft is in working Or
der crosscut will be driven in the 200
foot level in the endeavor of striking the
vein that was lost when last worked on
account OF the same splitting and the
parties then working it drifting on the
wrong angle. Drifting and stoping will
also be prosecuted in the 400 foot levels.
This mine was good producer in past
years and there is no doubt but that it
will again come to the front with good
production of ore.

that the fires in the same will be started

W. j. Blake has quite force of men
working cleaning up the shaft house and
installing machinery on the Senator
mine in Gregory district in Black Hawk.
A go h. p. boiler and sx1O McFarlane
hoist is being placed, and from all indi-
cations the mine is to be worked on a
large scale. The shaft is $50 feet deep,
but when everything is in working order
which will be in about two weeks, it will
be sunk distance of 200 feet more
which will give great deal Of working
ground. The mine is almost dry which
will be great advantage. Two shifts of
miners will be employed and after the
lift is completed much larger force will
be put on. There is good shaft house
over the same which is in comparatively
good order.

Shipments will begin for this month
some time this week or next at the Hill
House mine in Russell district. The
company is sinking the shaft, the mine
now being 40 feet deep, and after the
present lift is finished it will be down
2i0 feet. Besides the sinking, work is
being prosecuted in the 136 foot levels,
east and west, where the ore is being
taken out. The ore is of milling char
acter and gives some very good returns.
Joseph Tuckfield is in charge of this
property.

Two shifts of miners are being em.

the Conner Mining and Leasing company
under the management OF A. a. John
son. At present the shaft is being clean
ed out and within a very short time
sinking operations will he commenced.
The shaft is down distance OF l2j feet,
and after the proposed lift is made it
will be about 225 feet deep. There is a
good showing in the shaft which is very
good encouragement. No drifting will
be done until the sinking has been flu
ished. The finishing touches OF the
shaft house were completed the first OF
the week and all the machinery has
been installed Operations from now on
will be very rapid at this mine

The Gold Rock mine IN Russell dis.
trct is doing fine these days. A ship
ment is being made this week of smet-
ing aud milling ore. This ore carries a
very large percentage Of copper and runs
very good. The first class smelling ore
runs about $50 to the ton. All this ore
came out OF the 800 foot level. They
have been driving the 600 foot level also
for some time past and last week un-
covered fine looking streak OF mineral
from five to to six feet wide. \ ship
ment OF this ore will be made just as
soon as it can be hoisted and the ore
that is lying in the bins now is shipped.
1t is thought that this streak will return
values as good if not better than the ore
taken out above.

We all like to get the greatest pos
sible value for the amount of money
we lay out in building. But there are
a great many different ideas In regard
to house value, as in all other lines Of
production. A dollar in building will
spread over a large cheap surface or
a small expensive surface, and it is
not every builder who knows how to
discriminate or Just where to draw the
line. There Is a great satisfaction in
having a house thoroughly well built
and richly finished inside. Solid men
prefer to put the money in a luxurious
interior rather than on fancy exterior
show, but we have a good many people
in this country who like to show off
and their folly is often expressed in
the outward appearance of their dwell.
ings.
A few years ago 1t was quite common
to see a house Of cheap construction
fixed up with towers and projections
of all kinds, fancy %clapboards and
various colored shingles with a pilot
house on one corner, a porte,cochere
at the side, a fancy winding veranda
with a gothic roof and as many other
incongruities as the architect could
think of. Little attention was paid to
the inside.
American architects deserve a great
deal of credit for the n in
which they have educated public
opinion out Of such an unfortunate fad
or course, they have been materially
assisted of late by the advancing
prices of all building materials. 1t is
no longer within the reach Of even rich
people to waste either labor or material
when building, and the general pub
lie has learned that it is not neces
