Lilly a Lolapaloozer.

One of the richest strikes in many a
long day in the territory near the head
OF Virginia canon was made last week
in the second level east from the Lilly
mine shaft, when small streak Of
white spar heavily impregnated with
gold was found on the foot wall. A
sample of ore taken from the streak
about a foot wide gave returns of AZ. GA
ounces gold and 9 ounces silver. or a
value of 1858 per ton. Later 1t was
found, however, that the values were
nearly all contained in the small streak,
and if the latter were asssyed separate
ly it would probably run from 1000 to
2, 600 ounces in gold per ton, or from
$40 to $40 pound.
The point at which the rich discovery
was made is almost virtically 200 feet
directly under the Virginia canon wagon
road Work has been suspended in the
drift for the present. In the seconC
level west stope has been started 385
feet from the shaft on four-incf
streak of $55 smelling ore and Is to 81
inches of milling material. A force OF
five men is now engaged, but will be in
creased in the near future as soon a:
more men can be worked to advantage

Too Much Joy-Juice.

Having much to he thankful for and
being unable to wait until the regular
day selected by the President, governor
and mayor, E. J. Jackson; a colored
man, came down from Hamlin gulch
last Tuesday and hlled up on 81 var
ieties of firewater. Along late in the
evening he was in a loquacious mood
and desiring company, called to pay his
respects to BLACK Annie," well
known colored washwoman. The wash
lady said something which offended
Jackson, an the latter suddenly
conceived th- notion that he
did mt like the face she wore and he pro-
ceeded to decorate her countenance.
Yest-rday BLACK Annie" made
complaint to the authorrt ties and City
Marshal o Rourke went out into the
hills and gathered in Jackson, who
was assessed $40 and costs for attempt
ing t. change the topography OF the
colored lady's face.

RAISE INROCKFORD
DONALDSON NINE DEAL COMPLETED
AND NEW COMPANY FORMED:
WILL co UP ON VEIN

The most important mining transac-
tion for mum Der of months was con-
summated Wednesday. when H. A.
Riedel, of the Riedel Investment COM
pany representing the Banner Consolid-
ated Mines company. took up the op-
ton on the Donaldson mine and group
OF claims, making a substantial pay
ment down on the purchase price, said
to be in the neighborhood of $lOO, 900.
For the purpose of taking over the
Goperty new corporation was organ
0ed under the name of the Donaldson
Mines company, with capitalization of
l,5OO, 600 shares Of the par value of 81
each. The officers and directors Of the
new company are: President, H. A.
Riedel; vice president, Geo. L. Irvine;
secretary-treasurer, c. NJ. Miller; di-
rectors. A. J. Trone, August Reitsch
and Fred H. Nye The majority of
the capital stock in the new company
will be held by the Banner Consolidat-
ed Mines company.
The announcement is made by Man
ager Fred H Nye, that work will be
resumed in the Rockford tunnel within
the next week or ten days. and that a
raise of l,OOO feet will Immediately be
made on the Donaldson vein from the
Rockford tunnel. This connection
besides making an immense territory
of valuable ground available, will
furnish natural ventilation for the
Rockford tunnel and the lateral to be
driven westward from that crosscut.
The Donaldson claim was owned by
Ed. W. Williams, a we'll known and
wealthy Gilpin county and Denver min
ing man. The mine has a production
record Of nearly million to its credit,
and the vein was cut some months ago
at depth of 1900 feet by the Rock
ford tunnel. A lateral was driven
west for 39l feet and showed a good
quality of milling ore for the entire
distance. Work waa suspended in the
Mteral on October l, in order to secure
satisfactory terms for the purchase OF
the property, the original option having
expired.

Got Away With the Gold.

Arrested on the charge of disturbance
and fined s. and costs in police court
Wednesday morning Walter Lind, OF
Gunnison, Colo, spent Thank sgiving day
in the city Jail here, and yesterday
morning accompanied Deputy Sheriff
F. J. Nackay, of Gunnison, back to that
place, where he is wanted on the charge
of having defrauded his partners in
mining lease, in failing to account for
eight to ten ounces of gold amalgam
and S345 in gold coin.
Late Tuesday night Lind and com
panion, Alex Morrison, engaged in a
scrap over woman, and the counte
nances of both men were most artist
cally decorated. A young man by the
name Of Brunson, butted and all
three were taken into custody. The
police magistrate handed each OF the
trio $5 and costs.
The woman in the case is said TO be a
notorious character in the San Juan by
the name of Etfie Brady, more familiar
ly known as the Skunk. She came
to this city with Lind, and claims to be
his wife.
After the arrest, Chief of Police
O'Rourke had his suspicious aroused
and he communicated with the author
tiles i'll Gunnison. Several hours later
r, ceived a telegram from Sheriff VII
liam Watson, of that town, to hold Lind
until the arrival of a deputy sheriff.
Lind admits that he failed to account
to his partners and claims that the
woman got the money. The attentions
paid by his friend Morrison to the
woman was what caused the free fora II
fight. While the two men We're CON
fined in the city bastile. however,
neither cared to mix it, with the
other.

Was Nearly EIectrocuted.

w. Allie Roberts, assistant cashier
of the Merchants and Miners National
bank, sustained dslocated shoulder
late last Sunday night in a wrestling
match with ITO volts of electric current.
The accident occurred in the Roberts
home on Virginia street, when in turn
ing on an electric globe with one hand
and holding to chain with the other, he
succeeded in establishing a connection
which caused him to have an uncontrol-
able amount of nervous energy 1t
would be an utter impossiblity for him
to 20 through the same wonderful
stunts again. 1t is said that he turned
a handspring in regular aCrobatic sty e,
and that Indian dances, the hooche-
cooch,e and the dizzy waltz were in
cluded in his terpischorean efforts until
he finally driited off into dreamland.
When he came too he was lying under
the bath tub, wondering what day in
the week it was, and found that his left
shoulder was not where it belonged. 1t
was necessary for surgeon to wrestle
for some minut GreCeo-Roman style
to put that member back into its socket.
Mr.. Roberts will not be able to use his
left arm for some days.

Golden Rod Nearing Ore

The Golden Rod adit being driven by
the Nevada Capitol Gold Mining COM
pany on the east slope of the famous
old Seaton mountain, has now reached
point 200 feet in from the portal fol-
lowing the footwall of the vein. The
next 25 feet is expected to reach the
junction of the Golden Rod and the
Bessie M. veins, and there is every
reason to believe that an ore shoot of
generous proportions will be encoun-
tered.
The heading of the Golden Rod adit
now has a vertical depth of little
over 100 feet below the surface, and
taking the pitch of the Bessie NJ. vein
into consideration there will be a little
over 135 feet of ground overhead
available for stoping. In the Bessie NJ.
shaft, sunk 80 feet from the surface a
short distance above the point it will
be reached by the Golden Rod good
streak of mineral is exposed, returning
As per cent. in lead, together with gold
and silver values. The streak is foot
wide and if it increases as it did from
the surface down, should be of a good
Yi1th when opened in the adit below.
considerable water has heen encoun-
tered recently in the adit, and this is
always considered a good sign on Sea-
ton mountain, as miners claim that
there is always water with good ore.
The invariable rule in the district, in
regard to the formation of ore shoots,
is that they occur where there are
functions of veins or spurs and feeders
coming in, SO it may be seen that the
chances of the Nevada Capitol having
a strike of good shipping ore shortly
are exceptionally encouraging.
The company ha, streak of ore
near the mouth Of the adit from which
assays running as high as $l7O a ton
have been obtained, and it is the inten-
ton to sink a Wine on this rich
streak as soon as the ground ahead has
been opened up. Several days ago a
3-inch streak was opened in the bottom
Of the adit, which returned fair
values, and it may be that this streak
is the feather edge of an ore pocket,
or the beginning of the ore shoot
formed by the junction.
Forman James Rule, who is entirely
familiar with the vein formation
of Seaton mountain is sanguine over
the outcome, and believes with many
others, that this long neglected sec
ton of Seaton mountain, will come to
the front as big ore producer within
a reasonable time, as the result of the
activity now displayed, and which is
due to the rich finds made some
months ago in the preliminary work
done by the Nevada Capital company.

TO SINK BRIGHTON
SHAFT WILL BE SUNK TO DEPTH OF
1000 FEET. AND WORK WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONDAY

President VIM. NJ Laird, of the
Pittsburg Consolidated Mining, Milling
and Tunnel company, who spent sever
al days in camp this week, announced
yesterday just prior TO his departure,
that plans which have been under con-
sideratlon for some time will be car
ried out, and that beginning next Mon
day morning the work of sinking the
Brighton shaft will De started The
shaft is already a little over coo feet
deep. and the intention is to sink the
shaft to depth of 1000 feet, and
drive levels at each 100 feet to the
west where an extensive ore body is
located.
The work for the present will be done
by days pay, but after the first of the
year the company may decide to have
the work done by contract This is
the most favorable period of the year
because the inflow of water for the
next few months will be light. The
big electric plunger pump installed
some months ago, at the present time
can keep the mine clear of water by
running five hours of every "a, and it
is not likely thet such small quantity
of water will seriously interfere with
sinking the shaft
Recent development work in the
third and fourth levels west has dem
onstrated the exstance of large por-
phyry dyke, on each wall of which is
f,,nI ,,aipr ,f Al
five feet wide. The two veins are
pitching toward each other at the rate
of ten feet in every hundred, and will
come together according to the calcu-
latisns OF the engineers, in the lower
levels where unquestionably AN import
ant ore body will be found.
The Brighton group consists of Is
patented claims which are developed by
over 6, 900 feet of levels, shafts and
raises. Comparatively little mining
has been done, and only the ore taken
out in driving the levels and raises has
been shipped from the property for
some time past.
Mr. Laird was accompanied by J. p.
Matthew, of Philadelphia, and George
b. orris, of Pittsburg, and on Tues
day afternoon the party visited the Nc
Clelland tunnel which will one day be
the logical outlet for the Brighton
mines output. The trip of mile and
an eighth underground proved interest
ing to the trio, and they expressed the
hope that the big subway will lose no
time in reaching a point where it will
benefit the Brighton mine.
| The Dover group OF Is patented
claims at the mouth of Fall river, w re
inspected by the visitors and Mr.. Laird
stated that the adlt on the Dover vein,
which has been driving ahead since last
May, is now approaching a'point where
it is expected to find the junction of the
Dover and lara Lane lode, at depth
of GOO feet below the apex of the lat
ter Already the heading of the Dover
adit is showing increased naturalization
and it is expected that when the Clara
Lane vein is reached there will be
found an immense ore body, which will
able to supply the company $
mill for continuous operation.

officers of Tacoma Sifting Outbreak at
 Santiago.

Havana, May 3.-Commander Wood, of the Dixie, senior officer in Cuban waters, to-day received the following wireless telegraph message from Com mander Tappan, of the Tacoma, re- garding the recent conflict between police and sailors at Santiago:
 'The investigation of the board of officers of the Tacoma is almost finish ed, Lee, (the sailor most seriously in- jured) is in the hospital ashore. His condition is more hopeful. The Taco mas surgeon is attending him. The judge of the correctional court and the prosecuting attorney took his sworn statement to-day in the presence of the American consul and myself and sev- eral other officers. At the same time Lee identified under oath as the man who shot him, and who was brought into his presence. Vincent Lay, the captain of police, who was in civilian clothing when the shooting occurred.
 "A judge of instruction and the prosecuting attorney commenced talk ing the testimony of our men to-day on board the Tacoma. They probably will require two more days to finish their work"
