Gulch Mine Shipping.

A shipment OF milling ore was made to
the Black Hawk mills couple of weeks
ago from the Gulch mine in lower Rus
sell district, but as yet no returns have
been received from the same. The ore
was Of a good looking quality and is
thought to contain high values. Be.
sides this q shipment Of smelling ore is
being accumulated, which will be sent
to the smelters in short time. This
ore comes from stope in the 300-foot
level and is fine looking, the assays run
ming high. Only small force of men is
being employed at present. but it is
month or SO, larger force will be put
on and mining prosecuted in earnest.

Electric Road Up Clear Creek Canon.

According to an article in the Idaho
Springs Siftings Of last week move is
on foot among number of wealthy Lon
don capitalists to build an electric road
that will connect with the Inter. Mount
ain at Golden and traverse Clear Creek
county, ultimately extending to Lead.
vile. The proposed road is to be known
as Denver 81 ans-Continental railway
and the paper publishing the news re-
garding the project says it is certainty
that the work will commence within the
next year. The Siftlngs says:
$50 quietly have the plans been ma
tured that but comparatively small
number Of people are aware of the fact
that the entire right of way has been &c..
cured for the new railroad. An i'm.
portant action was taken by the board
Of county commissioners at recent
meeting, in which the Denver & Trans.
Continental railway was granted fran
chise for the construction of railway
from the eastern county line to the
western county limits.
"While no authentic announcement
has been made, it may be stated without
fear Of contradiction that the new road
is to be a continuation of the Inter-
Mountain. running from Denver to
Golden. 1t may also be surmised that
Samuel Newhouse, who controls the
Newhouse tunnel as we'll as the Inter-
Mountain railroad, is more or less inter-
ested in the new railway project. In all
probability the new road will be oper-
ated exclusively by electric power which
will be generated by the streams on both
sides of the continental divide. The
big Vidler tunnel which is now being
pushed through the divide at the rate of
300 feet month, will be utilized in con-
tinuing the road on to Leadville.
"Mr. Vidler is now in London with
his associates and it is confidently be-
lieved that Immediately upon his re-
turn the actual construction of the new
road will be commenced"

Silver Dollar Making Good Showing.

A big shipment Of ore is being taken
out Of the Silver Dollar mine in lower
Russell Gulch, which will be sent to the
smelters some time this week. There
will be twenty. five ton lot Of flrst.class
ore and about the same amount OF the
second.class This comes from the 1856
foot level where there is streak from
four to ten inches wide of grey copper
and white iron. This has been stopped
on and is uncovered for distance OF
135 feet. The last shipment OF this ore
ran about $1,000 to the ton, rst-class,
and $1,000, second. The ore this time
is not classed as fine as it was the last
shipment, but there is greater amount
which in the aggregate will make up
the difference, if there is any, in the
value to the ton. Only five men have
been working on this ore up to the lat.
ter part OF last week, but the manage
ment has been putting on miners every
day since and now force Of twelve is
employed. Big improvements are un-
der way at the Silver Dollar, such as the
installing Of an engine, boiler, air COM
pressor and other necessary improve
ments. After these are installed two
shift force will be employed and the
mine will be worked for heavy output.

Cross.Cuttinq in Empress.

The cross cut in the Empress mine is
in little over 100 feet and they are
driving ahead as fast as possible. This
is in the 400-foot level and it is expected
that the desired vein will soon be struck.
In the above levels this vein was cut and

Decision Affects Grain Buyers.

Justice Fuller of the Supreme court
OF South Dakota has rendered de-
cision in the case of w. j. Hahn
against the Sleepy Eye Milling COM
pany that will interest elevator men
and grain buyers all over the state.
In the case in question the milling
company had purchased the grain as
soon as threshed. Hahn, the thresher,
claimed lien on the grain for his
threshing bill, after the grain was in
the hands of the elevator men. The
latter fought the case on the grounds
OF unconstitutionality as well as on
technical grounds, but were defeated
IN the circuit court and again in the
supreme court.
The court holds in effect that pur-
chaser of grain does so at his own
risk, and that the effect is the same
within the ten days In VIII ich the thresh-
er has to file his lien as it is after the
same is fled.
Under this decision grain bayers
will want evidence that the threshing
charges are paid before thew make
any purchases of grain.

reforms, though it has not yet ad-
vanced to occupy the field from which
the states are driven. This is the real
difficulty. 1t is not to the curtailment
of state power that the people object,
so much as to the failure to substitute
for it the strong hand of the federal
government.
The inadequacy of state control over
railroads is coming to be generally
recognized. It is due, of course, to
the impossibility of co-ordinating and
harmonizing the policies of so many
different states. The movement for
the adoption of the two-cent fare came
nearer to securing something like har-
mony of action than any similar move
ment in years. And yet, in spite of
the mandate from the people, undoubt-
edly delivered to most of the legisla-
lures, two-cent fare bills failed in MANY
states. The railroads may yet succe ed
in multiplying the state laws that did
get through. Can anyone suppose
that national two-cent fare law would
have encountered such difficulties, if
congress had been charged with a
mandate Of the people to pass it?-
