viii Connect Shaft With Newhouse.

Last Saturday while in Denver, H. C.
Eastman, manager of the Ontario-Colo-
RADIO property on Gregory mountain,
also manager Of the Jefferson Calhoun
mines in Russell Gulch, became quite
talkative and agreed to an interview,
which was published in the Denver
Post. Usually Mr.. Eastman is very
reticent in regard to matters pertain
ing to properties he is connected with,
but when he does talk for publication
generally has something of interest to
divulge. In speaking of the develop
ment his company has in view on the
Jefferson Calhoun mines, Mr.. Eastman
in Saturdays interview said:
''We are going to sink our main
shaft down to the level of the New
house tunnel as it passes through Rus
sell Gulch, and then drive lateral to a
connection with it, one heading from
the tunnel and second from the shaft.
This, in addition to giving us the ad-
vantages of drainage and transport OF
ores and waste by the Newhouse bore,
will open up immense bodies of mineral
and we can make it very great divi
dend paying mine. This is only one o1
the marked improvements of the time. ,

Work on The Moffat Road.

General Manager w. A. Deuel. and
Chief Engineer Sumner of the Moffat
road arrived in Steamboat last Satur-
day evening, stopping at the Onyx over
night. They were accompanied by F.
D. Gibson, president of the Information
al Trust company, and son, and also ].
H. P. Vorhees, all from Denver, the
latter only going as far as the Cary
ranch while the Moffat party was bound
for Vernal, Utah.
The visitors have their own horses
and rigs and will take their time in
looking over the country along the pro-
posed route of the road.
Mr.. Deuel. says the road will be COM
pleted to Steamboat next year for a
certainty but that slight change had
been made in the terminal point west
of the Gore. Instead of the road being
completed to harmony the next siding
will be at Red Gorge copper camp. only
short distance from Mccoy. where
the road will stop until the grade is
completed to Steamboat Springs, the
latter place to be the western terminal
point until the grade is completed to
the Utah line.
1t is expected that all the work in
Egeria canon, including the big tunnel,
will be completed early next spring in
order that track laying can commence
as soon as the frost leaves the ground.
The laying of track from Kremmling
through Gore canon will begin by the
18th of this month without fail and the
road will be at Copper camp siding in
time to receive cattle shipments early
in the fall. l.-Routt County Sentinel.

East Pewablc Mine Compressor Breaks.

Several days ago the strain on several
weak points of the new compressor
which had recently been installed at
the East Pewabic property broke, max
ing it necessary to close the mine down.
After the shaft house had been COM
pleted and new plant of machinery
placed in the same the work of straight
ening the old shaft was commenced and
with the machine drills good headway
was made. The work had progressed
several weeks when the compressor
caused the mine to close on account of
breaking. This is now being repaired
by Stroehle & Son, and will be in good
shape in few days so that work can
be pushed again. This shaft, or rather
the old one, is about 400 feet deep and
after timbering it down little ways,
progress in this direction was diverted,
and virtually new shaft sunk, which
at the present time is down about a
distance of 800 feet. This will be con-
tinued to the same depth as the former
shaft and possibly further. Drifting
will then be commenced in the various
levels and new levels started, which
will open large amount of virgin
ground. The Guardian Mining COM
pany has this mine under lease and
bond and is operating the same under
the management of C. 7. Austin.

THE DIET OF CONSERVATIVES.
Overlooking Recommended, But Prop
er Digestion Must Be Assured.

Herbert G. Clapp, of Boston, writing
In the Medical Record, says that diet
is most important factor in the
treatment of tuberculosis. A con-
sumptive is much more likely to eat
too little than too much. Systematic
overfeeding with proper digestion of
the food are the accepted remedies.
The food must be palatable and we'll
served and the amount must vary
with the patient and his circum-
stances The outdoor air will enable
him to assimilate large amounts. Milk
and eggs are the best foods to pro-
duce fats, which are most necessary
to the patient The author advocates
three solid meals day, with lunches
between of milk and eggs, about three
quarts Of milk and six eggs day be-
ing taken. Fresh meats are especially
necessary for these patients. but
mixed diet is undoubtedly the best
borne. Meat juice Is valuable. Pastry.
candy, fried foods and cabbage should
be let alone. Alcohol is not advisable.
but coffee. tea and chocolate may be
taken moderately.

Value Of the Thumb.

Solomon says thumbs up" because
the thumb is said to be worth fully
one-third the entire value Of the hand.
The different fingers are far from
having all the same value before the
eyes of the law. Much the most i'm
portant among them is the thumb,
for without 1t the hand no longer is
a pincers, but merely a claw. The
French court allows in damages 15
to 35 per cent. value for the right
and 10 to Is per cent. for the left
thumb. The Austrian schedule gives
from IL per cent. for the left to 35
per cent. for the right. In Germany
20 to 28 per cent. and even as high
as 1873 per cent. has been awarded.
The percentage Is based on 100 as the
total value Of the hand. industriously

Almost Ready 10 Drift.

The lift that will make the Ipava
mine 300 feet deep will soon be COM
pleted and then drifting will be COM
menced at that point. There is only a
short distance to go and this will be
sunk within the next week or two. In
the bottom of the shaft there is streak
of ore about a foot wide that carries
good values. This vein will be drifted
on and after the levels are in a little
ways stopping will in all probability be
commenced. 1t may be possible, how
ever, that the management will decide
to sink the mine another lift after the
levels are driven in little distance.

Shipping From Lillian.

This week shipments of milling ore
were taken to the Bobtail mill in Black
Hawk from the Lillian mine in Russell
Gulch and good returns are expected to
come from the same as the ore assays
very good. This comes from the 500
foot level where the company has been
drifting for some time past, although
short time ago stoping was commen-
ced in the 5O0-foot levels. They are
both in distance of from 25 to 80 feet
now and in all proba bility will be push
ed to the end lines of the company's
ground. The streak here is about two
feet wide and seems to be getting more
mineralized with every foot they push
the breasts in. This is good mine and
no doubt with little more develop
ment work will soon be good dividend
payer.

TO BUILD A
CONCENTRATOR
Directors Of the Evergreen
Gold & Copper NJ. Co., De-
eide Upon a Reduction
Works.

Thursday of last week the annual
stockholders meeting of the Evergreen
Gold & Copper Mines company, operat-
ing the Evergreen property in Pine
Creek, was held and business of more
than the ordinary Importance was trans
acted. There were about 25 stock
holders in attendance, number of
these being from Wisconsin, New York
and other eastern sections. The meet
ing was held in the Apex town hall. A
board of directors was elected and it
was decided to move the head offices of
the company to Denver.
The question of the erection of some
kind of plant for the treatment of the
Evergreen ores, which the company
has had in mind for more than year,
was thoroughly discussed. On this mat
ter the stockholders were equally di-
vided, some being in favor of the erec-
tion of smelter and the rest wanting
concentrator. The question of re-
duction works was finally left with the
board of directors and at their meeting
held in Denver last Friday, it was prac-
tically decided that concentrator
should be erected. The size of the
plant was also left to the decision of the
directors. AS soon as the size is de-
termined upon construction work will
be commenced. 1t is the intention of
the Evergreen people to have the plant
in operation some time during the fall.
Of late very little work has been
done at the Evergreen property, the
mine having been closed down for
short period, operations being resumed
just short time before the stockhold-
ers' meeting. The work now under
way is at the 2OO-foot level, where
large dyke is being prosecuted. Some
good ore has been encountered in this
dyke which runs from 80 to 60 per cent
copper and carries gold and silver val
ues to the extent of $1,000 per ton.
When the reduction works is COM
pleted, heavy operations will be pursued
at the Evergreen mine. Heretofore the
company has been compelled to make
long hauls in transporting their ore for
treatment and this has entailed big
expense. With their own concentrat-
or large per cent of the amount now
expended for haulage will be saved,
which in itself would allow sufficient
profit to warrant the operation of the
mine.

SINKING The For Far.

Work is progressing steadily at the
For Far mine in Russell Gulch and the
shaft is rapidly being sunk to a good
distance. 1t is almost down to the 400
foot mark now and after that point is
reached, which will be within the next
few weeks, drifting will be commenced.
There is good streak of ore that they
are drifting on and it is expected that
after drifting is commenced some good
pay ore will be opened up. Shipments
of ore are being made regularly from
the 30O-foot levels where there is good
streak of pay ore. From three to four
feet of milling ore can be seen here
which contains good values.
