MINE TO START UP.

The Herald has good news.
Yes. we say, good news.
The Neglected mine is to be opened
mp and operated.
The deal was closed Saturday night
between James II. Vandenberge snd
the majority owners, Messrs. w. j.
Boyle, Frank Rivers. j. J. German and
James Dennison, and payment made
to bind the agreement. Mr.. Vanden.
berge is mining engineer from New
York City, profession he has fol
lowed all his life. being associated
with a syndicate Of gentlemen whom
he has Interested in many properties
throughout the country and who stand
ready to back his judgment for any
amount he may ask. Mr.. Vanden.
berge arrived in Durango a week or
ten days ago on a visit to his brother
and sister. Mr.. and Mrs. John Ball OF
North Durango, the first time he has
seen them in eight or ten years.
Some seven years ago Mr.. Vanden-
berge was in Durango and made an
examination of the Neglected mine.
Since that time he thought nothing
more of the property and knew moth
ing of the history of the property the
past five years. Having made an ex-
animation as above stated it was not
necessary for Mr.. vandenberge to
visit the mine before talking business
with the above gentlemen, knowing
full well its real merits II properly
handled. And he did not simply ask
for a bond and lease. He was pre-
pared to make payment down, and
after attending to some minor mat
ters will go east to present the propo
sition TO his associates and secure
the necessary money to opea and OPP
crate the mine on large scale. 10
this end arrangements have already
been made with Mr.. Henderson for
electric power and men will be put to
work very soon putting in poles and
stretching wires for the current Mr..
Vandenberge will inaugurate several
changes in operating the mine AID in
the arrangement of the buildings.
This is certainly good news to Du-
range and mining men OF the La Plata
district The Herald is assured of
plenty of money behind the new COM
bination and 1t means that the major
ity owners will be able to provide for
their creditors in full and have 4 s1ug
sum left, all OF which is pleasing in
formation.
The Neglected mine has produced
in the neighborhood of million dol.
lars in gold, one year over 100000
being taken out. The gold bearing
vein is there and will be found again
and give up its wealth to man. or

In addition to the fight of the at

opinion that it will not stand the test

Winona Convention Notes,

All delegates in attendance, speak In
the highest praise of the very able and
efficient manner in which President
George B. Howley presided over the
deliberations of the convention. i.
Several members Of the Duluth dele
cation exhibited degree Of oratorical
ability on the floor of the convention,
that made Duluth spectators in the
gallery feel proud Of their representa-
tives.
The delegates from the Duluth
branch of the Woman's International
Union Label League participated &C
lively in the work of the convention,
and acquitted themselves admirably
in discussing the questions presented.
Delegate of ST.
Paul stated that 1t was very evident
to the members of the convention that
the male delegates from Duluth were
very far from having monopoly of
the all brains in the Zenith city,.
The expected clash between the
ultra prohibitionists, local option ad-
vocates and high license men, did not
materialize. The wise deliverance If
the committee on resolutions obviated
all difficulties and misunderstanding.
For aught that could be inferred
from the conduct or speech of any one
of the two hundred or more labor rep
resentativs in attendance. whatever
may be their sentiments in theory,
they were all prohibitionists or rather
total abstainers in practice. Had the
convention been religious one, the
conduct and department Of the men,
bership both in convention and out Of
it could not have excelled that Of the
delegates at this labor convention.
Delegate Peters from the Duluth
Trades Assembly was a special favo-
rite with the ladies Of Winona at the
moonlight excursion on the Mississippi
river.
It Is the consensus of opinion
among all delegates that the year just
closed, notwithstanding few, reverses
and lockouts, has been productive OF
more beneficial results to organized
labor than any preceding year.
