Wood Mine shlpplnq.

The first of the week four-cord lot
of concentrates was shipped from the
Wood mine to Black Hawk for treat
ment. This is the regular shipment for
the month. 1t is expected this ore will
run good. This comes from the 200
foot level where there is wide streak.
Drifting and stoping is under way here.
The 135-foot level is also being worked
and good results are being realized. A
few sacks of uranium ore were taken
out of the 200-foot level but this was
done only because it was in the way.
The bunch of uranium remaining has
been left hanging, as shipment of
this will not be made for some time and
it is intended to let it stay in the mine
until good quantity is stripped. 1t
will then be hoisted and shipped east
where there is ready market for the
rare mineral. This uranium runs all
the way from Is to S5 per cent. and is
eagerly purchased at from rs cents to
ST. pound. A few pounds of this
stuff will bring money rapidly and will
make quartz carrying gold of more
than the ordinary values ashamed of
itself. w. C. Dennison is looking after
this property.

Gem Shipping.

Some concentrating ore was shipped to
Black Hawk the first of the week from
the Gem mine in Leavenworth district,
and the latter part of the week Is ton
lot of smelling ore will be sent to the
smelters in Denver. This ore comes,
from the 200 and 25O-foot levels, where
they are drifting and stoping. In the
east 200 and 25O-levels they are drifting,
and stoping in the east and west ESQ
foot levels. Since putting in their new
compressor one drifting and two stoping
drills have been installed and it is es-
timated that they will drill as much as
seven men every day. This is great
help and much ground is being broken
every day, possibly sinking viii be COM
menced next month with the machine
drills. The drills that were installed
are of the Waugh make. The ore that
comes from the mine is in three different
grades and all run pretty good. There
are two grades of smelling ore and one
milling dirt. The high grade will run
as high as 5000 to the ton and over. A
good sized force of men is working
here and others are being put on daily
and when the levels are driven a little
further they will be added to.

Gilpin observer., 1907-05-02

The news has recently leaked out that
Denver and eastern capitalists represent
ing millions of dollars, have quietly Sc
cured options on large mining properties
in the Argentine district, Yankee Hill
and Russell Gulch, also coal lands, and
lime deposits for fuxing with the object
of establishing an independent smelter
at or near Golden. Negotiations have
been made towards acquiring the Car
penter smelter at Golden, and if the deal
goes through the plant will be enlarged
and thoroughly improved. The new
company will have material and ore
enough to keep its plant in constant op-
Grafton, and the matter of smelling out
side ore will be side issue. The plans
of the company are to make the plant
entirely independent of the trust, and
they will be in position where the trust
cannot harm them. Included in the
plan is a large water power proposition
that will be utilized. We CLEAN the
above statements from the Idaho
Springs Siftings, and sincerely hope that
the scheme stands on real legs and will
walk this way. Globe.

origin Of Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that Il
to say. he had only q Christian name
without any kind Of handle before
1t or surname after it. Some means
Of distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Mechanics derived from
. mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal peculiarly were
tackled on to his Christian name. and
plain John became John Smith. And
yet there were NO "misters' in TIE
land. Bone John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk OF his fell
lows. became perhaps 4 landed pro
prietor or an employer Of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the
Norman-French Of the day the "mais-
tire" Of this place or that. Of these
workmen or OF those. In time the
"maistre" or master" rs It soon
became, got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense Of possession wac
lost sight Of. and the title was CON
ferred upon any kindly mere pos

of more or less consideration and i'm
