Saratoga Getting Busy.

The old workings in No. 3 Saratoga

abandoned many years go under the be-
lief that they did not contain any ore

according to the returns from the ore
shipments made dnrng the month of
January just received by Manager John
Owen of the Saratoga Development
company. Wishing T. familiarize him

month of January six men were en-
ployed in the abandoned portions of the
upper levels, and IN the twenty seven
working days Of that month the men
took out and shipped little less than
fifty-seven tons of ore, the net value of
which at the sampler was S7,o5e SO or an
average value of s35 .oS per ton net. The
ore assayed from I.23 to 3.4o ounces
in gold and carried an average of four
ounces in silver per ton. The working
force will now be increased as fast as
good miners can be secured for work on
company account. The western portion
of the mine has been lying idle and ne

Water Still Going Down.

The water in :he Saratoga shaft, the
lowering Of which was announced exclu-
sively IN these columns in our last issue,
is nov going down at the rate of two feet
every u hours. No increase has been
nottd IN the quantity of water coming
from the lateral in the Newhouse tunnel,
but an additional deiuge is expected
daily. The plant of machinery on the
shat, is now being overhauled and the
boil Rs will be fired up between now and
the first OF March. As soon as the fourth
leveI is accessible, a force of miners will
be out to work, and the same procedure
viii follow each succeeding level as-the
nine IS unwatered. The water is now
something less than twenty feet above
the bottom of the fourth level, and in
order to facilitate matters. 1t is likely
that some water will be hoisted through
the shaft, unless expected assistance
comes from the lateral at the tunnel

Again The Golden Smelter.

The Denver Republican of last Sun
day contained an article from the cor
respondent at Golden, stating that re-
port was iu circulation that the Golden
smelter would reopen March by DR..
Carpenter and son, who built the plant.
There seems to be no subsequent ru.
mors, and the article vas probably in
spired as the result Of the refusal of the
A. S. & R. Co. to accept any more low
grade sulphide until the roasting capac-
ity of their plants was enlarged. No
doub. the Golden plant would greatly
augment the production Of low grade
ores in Cilpin, Boulder and Clear Greek
counties, were the smelter in the proper

Don't Bslittle Your Town

The natural inclination of some people
IN conversation is to belittle everything
4 connection with the city or town OF
which they are residents, and very often
hey even go so far as to sheer at their
iocal paper for publishing statements in
ended to promote the interests Of the
ocality represented by them. The way
% advance the interest of your city is to
do all you can to aid you laborers, mec-
hanics, merchants, doctors and minister's
Help to build your churches and
schools, and every enterprise of merit
encourage every movement that will
honestly bring dollar TO your town aud
maintain labor and capital. Stand by
your own town and people at all times
and under all circumstances. This is the
way to make things lively and prosper
Gus. To speak sneeringy or disparaging
ly of your own locality, Of its agricultural,
manufacturing, commercial or other in
terests is to aid in blocking its wheels of
progress, and should never be INDUCED
in.
Represent the bright side always, or
let silence keep you from disclaiming
against the interest of not only your
neighbor but yourself.

vein, the location of which cannot well
be determined because the vein has not
been opened except by shallow shafts
of the surface and the pitch is not
known with any degree of certainty at
the point of the mountain it will be in
tersected by the Honest John tunnel.
Some distance east Of the tunnel where
the vein is opened by a shaft it is
fiat that one may easily walk up and
down on the foot wall.
The Honest John tunnel is an impor-
,ant enterprise for the reason that it will
develop at good depth the greater portion
of the mineral belt which on account of
its location has not received even surface
development. 1t cuts practically the
same portion of the vein system as does
the New house tunnel ard under many
advantages not possessed by that hg TIM
mel when it was started, inasmuch as the
owners of the Honest John tunnel also
own nearly every foot of the territory IN

a surprising nature may be anticipated
