The Tell Tale Noice

III you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes,"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes. that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But IL he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
tion, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's

Newhouse Near ereak:1hrouqh.

Idaho Springs, Colo.-Men in the
Newhouse tunnel are preparing to fly
for their lives IL necessary, owing to
the fact that the Saratoga raise from
the tunnel to the shaft Is expected to
break through with any round. Long
drill holes of fifteen feet in length are
being carried ahead to avoid any accl-
dent. Full data regarding the Sara
toga drift and shaft can not be OBJ
tanned and 1t is impossible to reach
the lower workings of the mine
through the shaft. Manager John
Owen said that he believed the lower
workings were still filled with water
and bad air so that a connection car
ries with 1t grave dangers for the men
The men are now above the Newhouse
tunnel level 300 feet and they must
descend ladders and ropes to come
from their work. Extra men are en.
ployed to lend assistance when the
danger point arrives.
The Saratoga vein was cut by the
Newhouse tunnel at point three
miles in from the portal. At 5000 feet
from the portal is the Gem shaft, the
only surface connection. From that
point on artificial air is used and the
powder smoke drawn out to the Gem
shaft The Saratoga lateral has been
driven for 1000 feet, at which point
the raise was commenced. Men are
employed in other laterals between the
Gem and Saratoga, as well as beyond
these points. and while the heavy flow
Of water might do an immense amount
Of damage 1t is hoped that the plans as
made will be able to cope with the wa
ter. Greater danger exists from the
bad air that will follow the connection.
The Newhouse tunnel is 1880 feet
in length. in a perfect air line, and
when completed will be five miles In
length, with but one portal, that in
Idaho Springs. to which point all ores
and rock must be moved. In this dis
tance an outlet will be furnished to

news FROM THE Mines AND MILLS
The Weeks Review.

(Capt. Jas. T. Smith in Denver News.)
In 1894, when attention in Colorado
mining turned from silver to gold,
'Leadville was not left at the post. This
year marked the appearance Of the
"Leadville gold belt" with the Ibex
Mining Company, organized February
s. 1894, as the chief producer, setting
pace in the production Of the yellow
metal that no other group In that camp
has been able to follow, notwithstand-

tion, Little Winnie, Nevada, Little Ella,

ginius, Fanny Rawlings. st. Louis,
Eliza, Highland Chief, Nettie Morgan.
Great Hope and other gold properties.
AS rule eight-tenths Of the gold
product in a year might be traced TO
the Ibex group.
The Leadville gold belt, once more
prominent because Of phenomenal
finds by some Ibex leasers. was pre-
dicted in the early days by the EN-
mons geological survey. 1t became a
fact in 1894, when the Little Jonny
produced $1,057 ,523.54. In 1895, when
Professor Tilden of the Colorado
School of Mines examined the Little
Jonny for an English syndicate. the
production of the mine was $1,O24,-
920.82, while Leadville produced-ac-
cording to the mint return-$2, 100000
in gold, a gain OF twenty-one per cent.
over 1894.
In 1895 1t was reported that an En-
glish syndicate would pay SIC, 100000
cash for the Little Jonny, despite the
litigation then threatened by former
owners of some Of the claims of the
lbex group.
The search for distinctive gold veins
;n a camp which was noted for hori-
,ontal veins of silver and lead did not
appeal to many. The men who took
chance" have since been enrolled
with Colorado's millionaires. They
They were six in number-JOhn F.

Brown and Eben Smith.
In 1895 the representative Of New
York paper, who was permitted to ex-
plore the underground workings of the
Little Jonny, reported that "if the man.
agement felt SO inclined, the daily out
put could be raised from 200 to 600
tons, and at the latter rate 1t would
take three years to exhaust the ore
blocked out"
The New York writer estimated Lit
lie Jonny ore as worth $40 per ton in
gold and $40 in silver. Hence his esti
mated tonnage was $4,000 tons. II
we take the federal court figures as
presented in the case Of N. A. Mum
vs.. Ibex Mining Company, which was
disposed of in 1906, the value Of Ibex
ore for a period of eleven years figures
&2S.SS a ton The valuation used by
the New York writer was the general
belief In Leadville at the time. sup
ported by occasional finds Of very high
grade ore.
Taking the court records as basis,
It will be seen that the Ibex company
has had its ups and downs in produc-
ton. In the following table. which Is
compiled from the report submitted by
Accountant w. C. Austin, October 81.
