THREE MINING ITEMS
FROM SlLvERTON STANDARD.

Slight adjustments TO minor parts
OF machinery in the new Silver Lake
mill having been made, the plant is
row running smoothly and doing beau
tiful work, in fact the concentration
exceeds even the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the management. The
ratio is about four to one and the
product is of high grade. AS yet moth
ing but the lake unit which comprises
300 tons daily is being treated, the
tram line of the Aspen unit of $50
tons per diem, not yet being in readi-
ness for the transit of ores. The Lake
mining force is being increased daily
and all matters pertaining to both
mining and milling point to the most
successful season ever known to the
Garfield Smelling company.
The old time copper, silver, gold
producer of American Flats, Engineer
mountain, known as the Frank Hough
mine will be in operation Just as soon
as the snow leaves the ground, under
the general management of A. e. Rey-
nolds, one of Colorados biggest min
ing magnates. The property, which
is patented and has laid idle for fif-
teen to twenty years is the best ship
ping proposition ever known to the
section in which it is located as with
copper at its present status it is
estimated that the ore in the crude,
with very little sorting, will readily
yield 500 to $125 per ton. We are
informed that during the early work
ings of the property ore was shipped
that sampled 23 to 81 per cent cop
per.
Sam Martin, manager of the Tom
moore Mining company operating the
great property he made years ago,
put in an appearance in town Monday.
Mr. Martin has forty men at work on
development, stripping the ore bodies
Tor breaking and otherwise fixing up
for the summers campaign. Within
the next two months the force employ.
ed Will aggregate 160 men. A big con-
centrating mill is planned and will ma
terialize and be in operation before
snow flies. The ores, for the greater
part, contain good milling values of
silver, lead and copper and some OF
them are of excellent shipping values
in the crude.
Saturday night at about l o'clock
a fire broke out in the drying room
of the zinc plant of the Sunnyside
mill and despite the efforts of the
mill employees and others, the plant
was entirely destroyed. By reason
of the magnificent Sunnyside system
of water service the mill was saved
although the fire ragged almost beyond
control for several hours. Destruction
of the zinc plant will net necessitate
the closing down of the mill. Through
Mr.. A. H. Mundee, bookkeeper for the
Sunnyside, We learn that the damage
inflicted will amount to about s25. 900.
The plant is to be rebuilt as rapidly
as material can be gotten on the
Standard.

An Expert Marksman.

The terms "sharpshooter." expert
marksman," etc, which have dlstln-
gulshed the classes of military rlhemen
are often puzzling TO those not familiar
with rife practice. To become a
marksman one must make 9s out OF
possible 40 at 200, 300 and 500
yards. The sharpshooter must get
100 out OF 200 at 200, 800, 800 and 600
yards, besides doing well enough In
skirmish TO bring his total to 225, or
two-thirds Of the possible score. An
expert must do all this and also score
40 out OF 90 at 300 yards and 81 out
OF 30 at 1000 Yards. The latter dis
