The stope which is being carried at
distance of 800 feet from the portal OF
the lower adit is showing strong in
II ineral values. A body OF ore is eN-
posed which measures from eight TO
twelve inches in width which is worth
better than $50 to the ton in silver and
lead The ground has been opened
for over fifty feet in length, and in
view of the fact that this is what prac-
tically may be termed Il surface pocket,
the prospects are good for the market

The lower level on the Stemwinder

pie of weeks ago owing to the lack OF
water at the seat of operations, but
now that the spring is again flowing
no further difficulty will be expert

peal of thunder followed by a fash
Of lightning. Instantly she screamed
and then fell TO the floor in a dead

tolu her brother and his wife that the

heavy timber falling upon and kill

dispel what they regarded rs an illu-

has occurred. She has since received

her son was killed by falling timber
at precisely the same hour she wit
messed his death in her vision.

FREIGHT RATE kiNOEl AGAIN.
Interstate Commerce Commission Asks
for Further Evidence.

Denver.-Asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to forward TO
that body any further evidence ne
might have secured relating 10 the un-
Just discrimination against Denver In
the matter Of freight rates, George j.
kindel has sent facts and figures relat-
ing to four cases. showing plainly, in
his opinion, the discrimination al
legged.
He cites the case OF William ".
Thascher, who established jobbing
house for boots and shoes in Denver
and Is contemplating moving TO ore
gon because of the discriminatlve
freights against him in his line. Mr..
kindel finds that the rate on rubber
boots and shoes from Boston to Den
yer, all rail. is $2.72, while from Bos-
Ton to Portland, Oregon. all rail, 1t is
but 31.S5. From Denver to Boise,
Idaho, the rate is $40, while from
Portland to the same point 1t is but
$3.50, showing that Denver suffers
total handicap on the points in ques-
ton Of 1927 per hundred weight
II these same goods are shipped to
Reno via Denver from Boston, the
freight is $592; whereas. if shipped
from Boston to Portland and back
again to Reno, the freight is but 81 "a.
Another case is that OF George o.
Miller of Denver, who received ship
ment of books from Portland, for
which the bill of lading gave a $3.50
rate, but for which his expense bill
shows he was forced to pay at the rate
OF SO per hundred weight. This, in the
face OF the fact that books shipped
from Portland to any Missouri river
point, would have been paid for at the
rate OF $1.50 per hundred weight.
Kindel also cites the cases OF J. T.
Caughlin. charging eXorbitant rates
against Denver on motorcycles, and of
r. NJ. Davis. charging excessive over
charge on Photographic materials from
the Mississippi river to Denver. Kindel
states that these four men are ready
to sign the complaints which may be
drawn to cover the cases in question.

Telluride Better Than Ever.

Telluride. Colo.-Neyer in the his
tory of Telluride has there been
more prosperous outlook than at the
present time There are quite as many
men in the county as in its palmlest
DAYS and the output of some OF the
mines is larger and the mineral oil
more profitable grade than IN former
years. Milling has a great deal to DO
with this being the case because OF the
fact that in the last decade reduction
plants have been brought up more
nearly to the requirements of the hour
which means saving of practically
all the values possible to save.
The Tomboy mine is perhaps work
ing the largest single force of men,
then comes the Liberty Bell, while the
Smuggler-U Union leasers are working
more men than for several years
In the past and the combined pay rolls
of the leasers and the mills Will per
haps exceed that of any other property,
and is larger than for several years.
Then comes the Wagner Leasing
Company with its mines and dumps,
the various properties at Ophlr. the
Alta. Butterfly-Terribie, Columbia,
Mayflower. Fairview, Pandora. Black
Bear, Morning Star, Rosebud group,
Double Eagle group, Gold King, Nellie,
Golden Shaft, Mammoth, Silver PICK,
Special Sessions, and the Sawpit prop
critics, and others all of them working
forces OF men adequate to the develop
ment, or in other words as many men
as they can work to lTofft.
There are other smaller properties
where a few men find work, and with
all Of this there are talked of sales
pending which if they materialiZe IN
time this summer. will make San MI
guel county and Telluride just little
more prosperous than ever before.

Wellington Strikes Good Ore.

Breckenridge, Colo.-The last work
in the Liberty shaft of the Wellington
Mines company revealed some of the
handsomlst silver ore exhibited in the
state. Sor,s of the samples were laced
With silver as handkerchief with en-
broidery. and had a value of thousands
pi dollars to the ton. Superintendent
Cummings exhibited sample that
would have obtained recognition in the
Mineral palace. The average value of
the silver ore was $40 to the ton. This
was in addition to the zinc and lead.
For the latter metals the Wellington
company obtained s37 a ton after ex-
penses had been paid on the last ship
ment. In addition to the metallic
wealth made available this exposure is
appreciated as showing an unexpected
length OF the main vein. which has now
been proven for more than half mile.
At points of highest development this
body has a width of fifteen feet. How
far it and several parallel bodies ex-
tend into depth has been in no mine
Of the range. although many of them
have cut ore at depths varying from
1900 to 2,225 feet.

colorado's Wonderful Resources

Colorado is q remarkable country. IL
consists OF two sections OF very dll-
fcrent character. the eastern part
vast table land naturally TO all ap-
pearances dry and barren and the
western part a vast confusion Of
ranges of upheayel granite covered
only here and there with soil and bear
Ing but scant vegetation. Through the
force OF the genius which developed
irrigation its plains have been turned
into the highest priced farming lands
in the world From $3.50 to $500 per
acre is the price which rules in the
great wheat and beet sugar areas and
the fruit raising sections. The great
prices of course include the water
rights, but with those rights the land
becomes the most profitable in the
world. The mountains throughout
yield something of the wealth of the
state. Those unmineralized parts be
ing utilized in stock raising, producing
some timber products and throughout
are scattered small ranches ana farms
which yield good living to their oc-
cupants
: vast part of the mountainous area
Is mineral bearing and all such areas
have an astonishing value. II an av-
erage valuation should be placed upon
the entire areas OF Clear Greek, Glipin,
Summit, Lake. Teller. Ouray, San
Miguel and several other mountain
counties OF the state it would undoubt'
edly exceed that Of any similar area in
the world. In this would be included
the known rich mines and the unde-
yeioped territory as well. Even though
all the developed territory should be
excluded the valuation OF the virgin
territory would reach a phenomenal
figure.
With such a condition before the
state has reached the semi-centennial
OF its redemption from the savage 1t
is enough. to excite enthusiasm OF the
boosters who have organized the $780,

news FROM The MINES and MILLS
Mining News from crippI. Creek.

Cripple Creck.-Following close onto
the opening Of an exceedingly rich
body at a depth Of l50 feet on the
Mountain Beauty claim is another
strike in that property. The former
strike was made by Sellers and asso-
ciates and the latter find IS reported
below the Go0foot level, or in the
lower workings Of the mine. where
Carlton * Go. have been operating.
what can be learned an ore body three
and one-haE feet wide has been en-
oounteTed sixty feet northeast Of the
shaft. The vein proper gives returns
of from $50 to SO 10 the ton all the
way across and carries three-inch
seam. which shows values as high as
sl.ll2 IN gold to the ton. The vein
will ue followed for some distance be-
fore any ore is broken down for ship
meut. 1t is believed that Development
work Will show the ore body 10 be in
creasing in size and also carrying
higher values Carlton and associates
have been breaking ore from a five
foot vein on the 1up-iopt level, which
gave returns of between S35 and $40 to
the ton. The ore body just opened, it
Is said, is an entirely new vein.
The strike reported made by Porter
Hedge several days ago on block OF
ground of the Strdtton estate on Wo-
mack hill was confirmed, and it is
learned that a two-fuut vein has been
opened at shallow depth. The ore
body. which is Of sylvanite forma-
tion, gives returns Of better than $50
all the way across and carries values
as high as sixteen ounces in gold to
the ton. The work of following the
newly-discoyered vein began today
and a trial shipment win probably be
made tomorrow. Considerable devel-
opmcnt work is planned for this prop
crty, and it is understood that the
shaft viii be sunk To a depth of zoo
feet and a CTosscut run in order to
again cut the vein. which, it is thought,
will widen with depth. For several
years lesseCs have been working in
this vicinity, and Hedge is the first
man TO open ore.
The strike made al depth OF 9G0
feet in the Pharmacist property on
Bull hill is reported to be growing bet
ter as development work is carried on,
IL is understood that the vein, which,
when first opened, was not quite three
feet wide. has widened out TO three
and a half feet and shows an Increase
in value. To-day grab samples gave
assay returns Of SliI in gold to the
ton.
Mckelyey and associates leasing on
the Little Fauntleroy claim, on Gold
hill, are preparing to make a shipment
from the ore body recently opened. The
vein was encountered at a depth of
fifty feet and, according to assay re-
turns, will run almost two ounces in
