The utmost caution was necessary
on the part Of his barber to keep from.

restless movements not once While
Constant was shaving the emperor did
lie do so.

HONE PEOPLE HAVE
WORK UNDER WAY
James U. Harris and John Wright of
This City Making Great Progress
on Valuable Mining Property

Some time ago The Sentinel con-
tanned an interesting announcement
about the rich group of MKT claims
in the Silver Plume district owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. James U. Harris
of this city and Hon. Benton Can
non. formerly of this city, but how Of
Denver.
The following very interesting an
nouncement regarding the develop
ment of the property is from Satur-
days Silver Plume Standard:
j. U. Harris came down from the
Scott tunnel of the Mint group Tues
day, and reports that everything is
now in readiness to commence driv-
ing the tunnel ahead to intersect the
Mint and other lodes that lie In its
course and will be opened at a depth
that it is believed will result in dis
closing some large ore bodies.
The tunnel has been equipped with
cars, track, air pipe, and timbered
where necessary. and gasoline en-
gine has been installed for operating
a blower so that good ventilation
will be provided for carrying on the
work. Comfortable quarters for the
workmen have been prepared and
supplies laid in so that energetic
operations may be carried on during
the winter. A contract for driving the
tunnel has been let. and work Will
be carried on night and day.
This bore was driven about 700
feet by former operators and it is
estimated that it will require $50
feet more of driving to reach the
Mint vein, which from workings car
ried an near surface some years ago
made a production of ovr $4,000,
but a large flow of water caused a
suspension of operations, which were
carried on through shaft.
A great deal of rich float has been
found on the side of the mountain
below the Mint. which is believed
to have come from. this lode, and
some very high grade ore has been
taken from it. and when opened by
the tunnel there is every reason to
believe that it will prove to be a
large producer.
The property is now being opera
ted by the Mount Mcclellan Mining
company. of which John Wright. of
Grand Junction is manager, ana It
is a matter of much satisfaction to
the people III this district to have
this development work going on. as
a rich mineral section will thus be
prospected.
