Busy Days at ouray.

Ouray, Colo-Despite the unfavor-
able ground and water, the Gold Lion
tunnel, near Ironton, is in a distance
of over 900 feet. The last 700 feet the
ground has been SO soft that timbering
has to be done every foot of the way.
AS soon as suitable ground is encoun-
tered the crosscut for the Mountain
Lion vein will be started, which will
cut a large number of veins known tc
be heavily mineralized, and some Of
them to captain high gold values. This
enterprises is considered to be one OF
the biggest in the district.
Visitors to the Red Mountain and
Ironton districts say that this summer
will see marked activity in these dis
trict:. 1t is announced that by the
time the Silverton railroad is opened
up the Red Mountain Railroad, Mining
and Smelling Company will start up
its properties. This will be about
June 1st. The Treasury tunnel, Dut
ton-Gibson property, Barstow and the
Saratoga property and smelter will
also operate.
Manager M. L. Thistle of the This
tledown mine is pushing the work on
the property. He has recently installed
small Temple drill designed for work
in stopping. He is driving head on the
Thistledown vein, drifting both ways
on the Mendoza, sinking to the quartz
lite near the intersection of the two
veins, and is making a two-compart-
ment raise near the same point. He
has mill dirt on all sides. The raise
| will bring large ore bodies in the
workings above, where there is an i'm
mense quantity of $50 ore. There are
! fifteen men employed on the mine, and
the force will be materially increased.
Swope and others, who have shipped
in the neighborhood of $4,000 worth
of ore from the Jonathan in the past
three months, are still working, and
will have another car of high grade for
shipment in the next few days. The
| phenomenal strike on the Jonathan
has created interest in the Gold Belt
| district.
| John T. Barnett, who has associated
| with him some st. Louis capitalists,
has procured a lease on the Grand
| View property, just north of this city
on the West Side gold belt. Barnett
| proposes to go to work on the property
at once, developing it on small scale
at first and opening up the ore bodies.
There is showing of low-grade ore,
| Uul IL Is eApSCleu W plOuuSS llSu vi iSi
as the property has record of produc'
ing in the neighborhood of from $751;
900 to 100000 in ore.
On the West Side also are several
other properties that will be started
up in the near future. Among them is
the Gray Eagle, for which negotiations
are pending. The Morning Star, un-
der lease to Michael Clooney and
Bruce Wagner, is being worked regu-
larly. One car Of ore netted the leas-
ers SOS per ton. Another car will be
ready for shipment in the next few
| days.
Within the next few weeks thirty
five men will be employed in the Bear
| Creek district. The Union and other
| properties will be worked by leasers,
and mill will be put up on the I'm
ion. This district received practically
no attention last year, but indications
are that there will be marked activity.

town the executive board of the school
composed of Hon. Jas. W. Flynn, Of
Klngwood; Hon. II. B. Mckinley, Of
Salem, and Hon. G. ]. Poe, Of Buck
harmon, held a called meeting, and at
which time the resignation Of DR.. D..
S. Hammond as superintendent of the
school was formally accepted, The
board then proceeded to fill the va
cancy by appointing Prof. H. E. Flesh.
er, of Kingwood, who is spending this
week in Grafton as one OF the instruc.
tors at the teachers institute. The
resignation Of Dr. Hammond will
doubtless come in the nature of a sur
prise to many people, but to the board
of directors Of the school, to Governor
Dawson and to many close friends of
Dr.. Hammond 1t will not be much Of
a surprise, as they have known since
July last that he intended to resign.
Indeed his resignation was rendered
in July, bat by mutual agreement it
was decided to make no mention OF
the impending change at that time.
DIR. Hammond, we understand, will
leave the school on the first of Sep.
TENDER, and Prof Flesher will take
charge on that date. The doctor ex.
poets to resume his work in the minis.
try of the Methodist Episcopal church
and will doubtless be given a charge
at the next meeting Of the annual con,
ference of his church. He was one OF
the bright lights Of The ministry in
this State at the time he accepted the
superintendeucy of the school. Since
coming to PruntytOwR DR.. Hammond
has made many close friends in this
city and section aud at Pruntytown,
and his leaving the school will be gen
orally regretted.
