CAMP OF PROMISE
Liberty One of the Oldest Camps In
the State

the State
A. l.. Corey, the mining engineer,
and r, j. Baldwin of Pittsburg, Pa,
were recent visitors at Liberty, a ia
nous old camp twenty miles south
of Manhattan. and were favorably
impressed with what they saw there.
In speaking of the Liberty district,
Mr.. Corey said:
Liberty is one OF the oldest camp
in the state. having been worked by
the Spaniards in the sos. They
treated their pres by the old arastra
process and when their holdings
were taken over by the white men
and mills were built, one at Liberty
and one at San Antonio, twelve miles
away. With the characterization of
silver the properties were shut down,
remaining closed until a few years
ago, when the Cramps, shipbuilders
of Philadelphia, took over property
there and did a great deal of work,
and in the past ear the property
was again taken over by j. T. Lind
say and others of ~Pittsburg. and
they are now working the mine.
The new management has just
completed the work of building a ~
stamp mill which will be running BY
August /. Ore houses, water tanks.
an assay office and other buildings
necessary for mining on a large
scale have been erected. A dam, Il
hold 100000 gallons of water. has
been built in the gulch Just above
the mill. There are at present forty
men working and It is the intention
to put on more as soon as the mill
starts. They have acquired a depth
of over 500 feet and have over So.
600 ton of ore blocked out. There
are between 5000 and 10000 tons
on the dump. The ore from this mine
assays $50 to $500 to the ton. II 8

says in the Louisa tunnel of the

7 AuRUM MINES

ests, are competing for a group of
sixteen lead claims at Aurum, owned
by Simon Davis and b. G. Sanford

representing Congressman Woods of
Denver. was the first to make a
thorough sampling of the properties.
He spent two weeks going through
the various workings and taking
samples from desired points. He IS
now in Denver, where he will report
the result of his investigation to Mr..
Brooks.
Three days after Wood left. S.
Page, a mining engineer Of Ogden,
made a bid for the lead bonanza
after he had been convinced through
an examination that the property is
a valuable one.

pioneers of that section, are still say

Irish Sarcasm.

A happy and humorous example OF
sarcasm as apart from repartee is af-
forded by the following anecdote. /
quote it on the authority of a friend,
who, l am afraid, was the villain Of
the incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westmoreland
street, Dublin, over the O'Connell
bridge to the general postoffice by two
little street arabs, who importuned
him for the end Of his cigar. Throw
us the butt, sir! All, sir, throw us the
buttw cried the youths, but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
ness of their existence they gave him
up at last in despair and disgust. ar
rah, let him Alone" said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, it's a
butt he's picked up himself"
l once heard a bumptious little man,
who, acting as steward at athletic
sports in Dublin, was very assertive
in keeping back the crowd, thus ad-
dressed by an angry spectator: IF the
consate was taken out Of yez, ye'd be
no bigger than a green gooseberry,
and ye're as sour as wan alreadyr'-
