Mr.. Redding, then a wild young chap

his part in making wild and woolly

George G. Vivian, former resident
of Georgetown, and one of the best
known mining and smelling men in the
west, has been granted U. S. patent
for smelling furnace and process
for the treatment of ores. While the
full details concerning the system are
not at hand, it is understood that the
invention will prove valuable in the
treatment of the low grade ores of
Gilpin and Clear Creek counties. Es-
pecially will this hold good concerning
the ores in the sulphide belt surround
ing Empire, where Col. Vivian has been
interested for great many years. =

In commenting upon and denouncing
the perpetrators of the contemplate
trick played on one of our runners Cur
ing the celebration in Golden on the
4th of July when Robt. Harris was in
jured by the explosion of giant crack
er which was thrown near his legs, the
Transcript has the following to say:
''The matter of a boy throwing a
firecracker with intention to injure one
of the visiting athletes is, however, a
municipal affair, and one that should
be thoroughly investigated. If Central
City men really know the culprit they
should have communicated with the
authorities at once, SO that action could
be taken. And it is not too late yet.
If they will furnish the name of the
guilty young fellow who did the deed,
Golden has officers who will leave no
stone unturned to find who paid the 81
to have it done. While it does not
seem possible that Golden people were
,,,a fn, tha
if such is the case, the Transcript
voices the sentiment of all good citizens
in saying that the guilty should be pun
ished, no matter who they are. If any
one can furnish the right clue, it is
safe bet that even at this late day Gold
en- peace officers will chase this thing to
the bottom and give the perpetrators
of the dirty outrage all they deserve. "
Adding real mine with tunnel and
shaft to the equipment of the Colorado
School of Mines, is new idea, and the
object is to give the student an oppor-
tunity to learn by actual practice all
about timbering, drilling, hosting, and
indeed all the practical work of a real
mine. Old Mt. Zion where the tunnel
will be bored, is one mile west of the
school campus. There is more than
/ suspicion that a vein of copper runs
through the mountain, the same vein
that Henry Koch has been after so
many years with so much sanguine en-
ergy. 1t would seem to us that Koch's
mine, where he says he certainly has
the vein, would have been a surer prop
osition for working mine. However
if the Koch vein is certainty, then
the Mt. Zion tunnel and shaft conducted
on scientific principles, will also strike
possible but that this new venture of
the School of Mi les, undertaken solely
for instruction, may.open up at Golden's
back door great copper mine. Great
chunks of pure copper ore have in the
past been picked up in that vicinity as
float. We will wait and see what time
and work will develop. Poles to carry
the electric power have been set and
everything will be ready by the time
school opens. Golden Globe.
