chIorination Mill Burned.

victor.-The chlorination mill of the
Economic Gold Extraction Company,
apscity 1926 tons daily, with the office
and warehouse buildings, was totally
destroyed by fire Wednesday morning.
It cost $596,000 originally and has
been added to from time to time. The
direct cause of the fire, which origi.
mated in the barrel house, has not been
determined, but it is believed to have
been incendiary. The big building was
first discovered on fire about o'clock
this morning by miner at Elkton, the
watchman being at breakfast. Assist.
ance was sent from this city, but in
the absence of water, no oseffective work
could be done to stop the fire.

health 1t is necessary that the blood
should be purified and made new.
The case of Mrs. e. M. Spears. of

order that others may be benefited by
her experience. She says: 81 had been

long article was published in a news

THERE are host of petty ailments
i which are the direct result of the
weather
This is more true of the excessive
heat of summer and the intense cold
of winter, but is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.

To Work the Caledonia.

Denver parties are making arrange
ments to take over the Caledonia
claim. adjoining the Lafayette mine of
the Lamartine group on the east under a
J bond and lease. Tne claim is still in the
prospective stage of development but is
located on the big mother vein upon
which is situated the Ben Harrison and
Lone Tree mines. At the different points
where the lode has been opened up good
ore has been disclosed, and the deepest
workings is Shaft IS feet from the bot.
tom of which drifts east and west have
been run for IS and IS feet respectively.
An open cut, which will be continued as
an adit on the vein, was the last work
done, and made very encouraging
showing. The CALEDONIA is owned by
Godfrey Carlson, of this city, who has
kept up the assessment work for NUM-
ber of years. Chas. Hickson, now leas-
ing on the Little Matte, will probably
take charge of the Catalonia for the
Denver parties. Hickson took out some
ore a number OF years ago which yielded
good returns at the sampling works.

Extra Shift on Saratoea.

Two shifts of machine men are now
employed in putting up the raise from
the Saratoga lateral from the Newhouse
tunnel for connection with the tenth lev
el from the No. ?. Saratoga shaft. The
extra shift of machine runners was put on
Thursday night of this week, and it is
expected that good headway will be
made until the connection is made.
Manager Owen estimates that there re-
should be completed in ten shifts,
and he hopes to make the connection
by August 10.
The two compartment raise is being
carried up Lax teet in the clear,
which necessitates breaking the raise at
least 4A8 feet in size to allow for
timbering and cribbing When the
connection between the Saratoga and
the Newhouse tunnel is effected, the
ventilation of an additional mile and
quarter of the tunnel, between the Gem
shaft and the Saratoga shaft, will be
such that work on the intervening
veins can be carried on extensively
without dependence on an artificial air
supply as is the case at the present.
The raise is being put through merely
for ventilation and It is not intended to
lower ore through the present compart-
meut. A long drill hole will he carried
ahead of the work men as the exact course
OF the l-vel above is uncertain There is
danger of a heavy flow of GAS RI .biuu IL,
to the tunnel, and all precaution will be
taken to protect the men employed in the

Would Be Good If True.

The Central City correspondent OF
the Denver times has unearthed a ggan-
tic mining deal, according to the scare
head item in Thur sday evenings paper
as follows:
News has just leaked out OF one of
biggest mining deals in the history of
Colorado which has been pending for
the sale OF the leading mines on Quartz
hill to the Newhouse tunnel people.
Upward of S. 900 900 is involved. From
what can be learned the sale is nearly
completed and will be finally closed
within week.
manager George Collins ofthe New
house, who is representing the prospec
tive purchasers, has had between twelve
and fifteen men working on Quartz hill
for two or three weeks taking out sam
Piles from near the surface well as the
deeper workings of the mines They
are taking out tons of samples for test
ruus.
The properties the tunnel company is
seeking to get possession of include some
of the most famous producers in the
mines i'll the state.
| Among them are the California group
twenty claims; the Gold Cow, twelve
claims; the San Juan, Modoc, Mickey
Burroughs, Gardners, Climax, Missouri
and numerous other groups containing
from FIVE to twelve claims each
These properties comprise the main
portion of Quartz hill have combined
production record Of more than 100000
900. The California alone which is the
deepest gold mine in the state, 2 500 fl,
has produced upward of $1,000 900 be-
sides the Kansas Burroughs group, which
has a production of several million
dollars to its credit The sum involved
in the deal is immense, and although the
parties interested refuse to commit thenl-
selves as to the exact amount, it is under
stood to be in the neghborhood of s.,
600, 900. This will 90 record as one
} of the greatest transfers of mining prop
erty ever made in Colorado.
The object of the Newhuuse people
in getting possession of these rich pro-
ducers is to work the entire Quartz hill
through the tunnel. The tunnel is now
within 900 feet of the Quartz hill mines
AS soon as the big sale is made the bore
will be driven the necessary distance to
place it under the central portion Of the
hill.
LAS soon as the tunnel is extended all
the mines of Quartz hill will be drained
Of the immense body now in the work

the inactivity in mining in that district
