MINES OF COUNTY
CONTINUE ACTIVE

In the upraise of the Newhouse lat
eral leading to the Saratoga mine,
there is now only distance of from rs
to so feet more to go and it is the ex-
pectation of the management to have
this completed about July LIST. This
will connect with the Saratoga tenth
level and the ventilation will then be of
the best. At present miners are work.
ing down to and in the sixth level of
the Saratoga but cannot go any further
on account of the gas, which seems to
hang there and cannot be driven out.
All of the water is out of the mine and
it is perfectly dry as indicated by meas
urements with string run to the bot
tom of the shaft.
A good streak of ore has been un-
covered in the 6O0-foot level, where
miners have been working the past sew
eral months and shipments from here
are being made daily. From 25 to 80
tons are being hauled away every day
by the Gilpin tramway. After the COM
pletion of the upraise it is the intention
of the company to start drifting both
ways, east and west, in the 10O0-foot
levels and open up more new territory.
By drifting here virgin ground will be
mined and there is every reason to be-
lieve it will pay handsomely. 1t is ex-
pected that the ore mined and the men
working in the mine will be hoisted to
the surface from the 10O0-foot level up
and all the ore broken below the 1000
foot level will be sent out through the
Newhouse tunnel, which will divide the
work between the two counties, Gilpin
and Clear Creek. However, this will
not be put into practice until the con-
nection of the lateral is made with the
shaft, the 1000-foot connection being
made mainly for air in the Newhouse
tunnel and the Saratoga mine. The
lateral will then be driven consider
able distance and the shaft sunk
another lift.

Chase Shipping Good Ore.

There are now about twenty lessees
working on the Chase mine in lower
Russell district and everyone seems to
be making good money. Stopping and
drifting is being prosecuted in the 200.
300, and 4OO-foot levels both ways.
Every month there are about 20 tons of
smelling ore shipped which seems to be
the variety of ore this mine produces.
This will average on the whole about
$50 to the ton, which is good average,
making the production upwards of $500
per month. Several lessees are max
ing shipments this week, some in the
300 and some in the 2OO-foot levels. A
two-car load was shipped to Argo the
first of the week that is expected to
run close to three ounces to the ton.
There is about Is tons to the car of this
ore. Some surface ore will also be ship
ped this week that will run close on to
four ounces. This is good ore to be
coming from surface pockets. The
water in the mine is fast disappearing
as now there are only about 24OO gallons
to be hoisted every day. about twelve or
thirteen buckets. This is great bene-
fit to the operators as before an extra
shift was being employed to hoist the
water in the night, which was great
expense. This time of the year, and
especially after snow storms, much
water is usually encountered in this mine
but this spring instead of increasing, the
water course has gradually diminished
and if it keeps on will make dry
mine of the Chase in short time.

$l,587.7S ORE
IN THE TOGO

Hazard & Hardy, who have a lease
and bond on the Togo mine in Willis
Gulch, formerly known as the Rover)
while sinking shaft on a good-sized
vein this week opened up ore that gave
assay values of TO- 10 ounces in gold,
SO. 10 ounces in silver, which makes the
value to the ton 81, 5S7.7S. The lessees
have been working the property only a
short time, but have had indications of
good ore from the moment they started
sinking the shaft. The ore was struck
about 60 feet from the surface, but was
in sight 30 feet above the present depth.
The Togo is situated just below the
main shaft on the Saratoga. The main
shaft on the Togo is located about 700
feet from where the shaft is being
sunk in which the fabulously rich ore
was found. The claim has been living
idle several years, but at one time was
worked quite extensively. The main
shaft is down between 300 and 400 feet.
High-grade ore was taken out of the
mine in quantities when worked in
years past.
The ore is not only found in large
bodies in the 6O-foot shaft where Haz-
ard & Hardy are working, but the
ground is loose and easily broken. To
break the ore the use of a pick is all
that is necessary, and pound of pow
der will easily break three feet deep in
the shaft and the size of the shaft is
Sx3 l-2 feet. The vein has proven to
be continuous and has showed UP well
all the way down. Drifting has COM
menced on good lead at the 6O-foot
depth and the prospects are excellent
for this to open up good. Hazard &
Hardy are elated over their find and
are confident they will make good
money out of their lease, as from all
indications by what little work has been
done they have one of the richest prop
ositions in the county.

erll1lu Showing Up Fine.

Aleck Klein & Co., are operating the
Grizzly mine in upper Russell district
and are doing fine lately. A shipment
of smelling and milling ore is being
taken out and it is expected that this
ore will show decided increase in val
ue over the last shipment, although
good values have always been obtained.
The milling ore usually runs from three
to four ounces gold to the cord and the
last smelling ore brought S72.00 to the
ton. This comes from the 100-foot
levels which are being run east and
west. There is from four to eight in
ches of the smelling streak and about
two feet of the milling ore. With the
above values and the ore getting more
mineralized with every foot of drifting
it stands to reason that this mine will
be one of the leading producers again,
as in years past it was considered one
of the highest grade mines in the dis
trict and the ground has only been
scratched as yet.
About 800 feet west of the main
shaft there is another hole that twenty
or twenty-five years ago several for
tunes were taken out of, and there is
some of the dump left that will assay as
high as four ounces to the ton. 1t is
the intention of the operators to drift
west under where this rich ore shoot is
known to exist and work the same from
below. At present there is only whip
over the shaft, which is being used for
hosting the ore but Klien & Co., con-
template putting up machinery within
a short time.

following questions: Il have a num-
Der of Black Ben Davis apple trees

five inches in diameter. | wish to
graft or bud them to Spitzenburg.
Please advise me which would be the
safest way. Would you advise to
top graft them or to saw them Off
eighteen inches from the ground and
cleft graft them? The crowns are
already quite high and if | top graft
them they will be too high when they

my yearling pear trees have made
a phenomenal growth this year. Near
" all of them are seven or eight feet
tall and very spindling. Is it best to
cut one-third of this growth off or
would you leave them as they are?
Il think The Ranch is the best
farm or horticultural paper printed
in our state. Your writings are very
educational
BY no means would | advise cutting
these trees off eighteen inches from
the ground. 1t would be difficult to
grow tops on apple tree bodies five
inches in diameter. If the trees are
headed too high that is defect that
cannot be remedied now. would
top graft by cutting the limbs off
few inches from where they start
from the body and then cleft graft
them. The heads will be no higher
than if they are left as they are.
These CRAFTS l would cut back and
head them as low as possible. This
cutting back of the gratis would have
to be done one year after the graft
ing was done. This top grating
should be done in the spring. l will
try to give full directions how to do
this top grating before the first of
March Cut your scions during the
winter when the trees are not frozen,
carefully label them and keep them
in a cool place where they will not
dry out. Some bury them and then
throw some hay over them.
| would certainly head back those
yearling pear trees but | would cut
off more than one-third of the tops.

WHAT MISSIONARY FOUND in
THE NYANZA COUNTRY.
Rev. Croonerberghs Surprised by Ma
tive of Cork While on Exploring
Tour in the lnterior-His IS
Years Among savages.

New York.-Apropos of the ques-
ton. so much discussed nowadays. of
elective representation and parlia.
ment in the boer lands of Africa, il be-
comes only natural to recall the condi-
ton of the country and its various
tribes and people not so many years
since.
Even down to the period of It's prim-
tive settlement under British rule
less than 40 years since, the popula-
ton of the civilized whites was much
less than a thousand, while the terri
tory covers over 100000 square miles.
and the tribal population ran by rough
estimate as over 10000.
No doubt there may have been some
missionary spirit within the region at
some prior period, but it remained for
a member of the Jesuit order to eX-
plore the territory thoroughly and his
mission was inaugurated in 1868.
In that year Rev. Charles } Groom
erberghs, S. j., with several compan.
ions, traversed several thousand miles
from a point a little above Cape Town,
through North Africa. up to the region
Of Victoria Nyanza, making notes all
the way of the country and its various
groups of inhabitants.
Father Croonerberghs spent some Is
or 16 years among the various tribes,

ing among these semibarbarous peo-
pies more or less as one of them

Men of the Moon LiohtWeiqhts.

The average weight of man is 40
pounds, but the force of gravity on
Mars is so much less than on earth
that the 14O-pound man would weigh
only 80 pounds if transferred thither.
With such light weight and still re-
tanning the same strength, an indiyid-
ual would be able to run with the
speed of an express train, go skipping
over ten.foot walls, and do various
other extraordinary things On the
moon man would be even lighter.
But on the sun our 1i0-pound man
would have his troubles. Instead of
being an airy individual he would
weigh ton and three-quarters. He
probably would have the greatest diff
ficulty in raising his hand, for that
member would weigh 800 pounds.
According to scientific computation
a man who on earth weighs 40
pounds would go to the other celestial
bodies with the following weights:
