Rev. j. N. Cruieher. member Of

tied the Audrain county poor farm
while in our city his week aud the
following is a part of his comment
on the condition OF affairs:
The farm is a disgrac@ to the
enlightened and prosperous people
of the county. The buildings are
cheap and unsightly, the floors are
reeking. with filth, vermin nbounds.
the inmates are mostly demented
or idiotic. aud have no place in an
institution which is supposed to
shelter the unfortunate poor of the
county. The State has wisely pro.
vided institutions for the insane
and idiotic, and to deny them the
blessings of comfortable quarters
and tender care there afforded is
the height of barbarism. The
food prepared for these poor un-
fortunate wards of Audrain couu.

window in the kitchen, and regard.
less of the weather, they get their
food and eat it as they wander
about the grounds. Aged men,
who are forced by circumstances
to uccept the charity of the coun
~, are herded with the insane and
demented ones, Inundated and
disgraced.

The Columbia Herald is kicking
because the Legislature proposes
to close up the dramshops in that
town. The Herald says Columbia,
if left alone, may shut up her own
dramshops. Why doesn't she do
it theni The Independent says
that Columbia people have been
sitting idly by allowing the liquor
business to be conducted there
practically unmolested for ten or
twelve years aud that it is we'll
known fact that practically every
effort that has been made in re-
cent years to enforce the law even
against the illegal sale of liquor in
the University town has been
started by students. Shame on
Columbia! Let her get out of the
liquor business.

This week shipment Of ore is being
hoisted out Of the Perrin mine. This
will consist OF from ten to twelve cords
Of milling dirt, and will be sent to the
Buell. mill in Central City for treatment.
1t promises to run good, as twelve cord
lot was sent to the mill two weeks ago
and brought over two ounces to the
cord on the plates. besides the tailings,
which came from the same place. This
is In the 6o-foot level where drifting and
stoping is being prosecuted. A little
smelling ore is also being saved up for
shipment which the last time ran over
300 to the ton. This mine has been
making some good shipments in the last
few months and seems to be keeping up
in point OF value Of the ore. The Perrin
is situated in Russell district and is

upralss at Saratoga Commenced.

manager Owen has returned from the
esst and is now getting the Saratoga
mine in shape for large output OF ore.
Last week an upraise was started from
the Newhouse tunnel and will conneet t
with the mine about $50 feet west of the
NO. shaft. There is about 800 feet to
be gone through and it is estimated by
the management ttat this will be &C.
complished within the next sixty days
This will connect at distance of 1000
feet, the bottom level Of the Saratoga
mine After the upraise is completed it
will Immediately clear the mine of all of
the bad air and will help materially in
Clearing the Newhouse tunnel also, 80 it
will be benefit on both sides. After
the air is cleared miners will be
put to work at the different levels OF the
mine, and ore shipped every day. In the
mine they have not been able to 90 be.
low the 600 foot level 50 far on account
OF the air. Here miners are at work
stoping and sending up ore to the
amount OF 100 tons every week. This is
both OF smelling and milling character,
and is giving the company fairly good
returns. Air will be pushed in the shaft
this week SO that the bottom levels can
be explored little, as the mine is
now virtually dry, only few little pools
OF water standing in the different levels.
The Newhouse managers need have no
fear OF breaking into lake Of water
when they cut the upraise. This con-
nection will then be driven under the
shaft and connection made there again.
The water to feed the tanks and for
other purposes is being hoisted out
OF the Waltham mine, west of the
Saratoga. This mine is owned by the
same company Thus you will be able
to 60 from almost the center Of Gilpin
county into Clear Creek county without
stepping over the boundary line, but by
going underneath.

The Bench and Defiance.

The bench and Defiance properties,
which are being worked together by
Richie Hughes, are doing well. Drift
ing is being prosecuted in the 1OO-foot
level and some good looking ore Is COM
ing out OF the same, which when shipped
to the mills proves that it does not de-
ceive its looks. This week they are
hoisting for shipment to be made to
the mills in Black Hawk. This comes
from a streak Of ore in the drift that is
generally five feet wide. The last lot Of
ore, consisting Of forty tons was ship
ped to Idaho Springs and brought good
returns. The present lot, which is be-
ing shipped to Black Hawk, will amount
to between 80 and go tons and better re-
turns are expected. Some very high
value ore was shipped from the drift
above the one they are now working ar d
it is expected that the drifting of the
present level will allow them to get un.
derneath this body. At the rate they
are going it will not be very long before
this is accomplished.
