The Aspen TINES claims that
the mines in that district will be
working full tire and force within
the next thirty days or six weeks.
This is owing to the fact that the
smelling companies have offered to
pay them bonus for lead ores
which must be had in order to keep
tue furnaces in blast.
This is certainly good news to
lead miners, and it is presumed
that We may expect to receive the
same benefits in this locality as our
mines carry higher percentages in
lead than these of the Aspen camp.
The production of dry-ores from
Cripple Creek and other gold bear
ing quartz camps, will make the
demand greater and imperative for
lead ores, with which to smelt the
silic-ous material, common to all
gold mines.

working at n profit, for the gold
aud silver contained. Among these
may be mentioned the old London
mine, just over the range from
Leadville, and which is now en-
ploying twenty teams, hauling ore
to the railrod. Hundred of aban-
doned prosps cts which carry good
percentages in gold, are being look
ed ny in every camp i'll the state
and these will be reopened and
prospected with the result that
many of these can de made to pay
under the present facilities for the
handling of low grade ores. The
mrning districts IF Gunnison
county will bear no exception ms
there may be found n greater com
plexiiy of ores here than elsewhere
in the state and there is scarcely a
vein or ledge exposed, which does
not contain more or less gold.
1t is not doubted that the pre-
sent stringency in the metal mar
kets will in some measure revert to
the stimulating advantage of gold
prospecting all over the mountains
and that new gold mines will be
found and II great many more a
banded prospects will resume work
and production. There is no better
field anywhere than is seen here
IN Gunnison county, which was
never more than run over in the
days of 70, during their crnze for
silver mines and when the assayAr
was rarely asked to test for gold
values. Little or no real system
attic prospecting has ever been done
10 the mineralized belts Of this
county, although hundreds of well
defined veins may be found outcrop-
ping in the mountains districts.
1t is thought that the financial
crisis is now passed 1t was brought
on through no fault of the West,
but it is believed that-it will bene-
tit this country, by attracting capt
tal hero for LEGITIMATE inyestmant
in mines and other enterprises.
Eastern investors have certainly
had sufficient of watered stocks and
bonds, for while at least. If they
will come here they can get in on
the ground floor, organize their
own companies and operate proper
ties themselves.

The Pueblo Fue! Company are
working full fore upon their anth-
racite property, above town, and
are unable to anywhere near keep
up with orders. This mine is rs
yet only in the first stage of devel-
opment. Although the vein is ssmall
it appears very regular and but
little faulted thus far. There ap-
parently is a large area of coal en-
bra ced in this tract, as also two
or more workable veins in the terri
tory lying toward the west and
north Of the main entry and the
coal which is now semi-anthra-
cite should become harder us the
drifting is carried further into the
mountain where depth OF over n
thousand feet will be had above
the coal measures. This company
are working about half time on the
soft coal mine below town, MS is
the G. f. d |. property, 1t is ex-
pected that both properties will go
into full production in short time
or SO soon as the metal mines and
smelters are again in commission
which is believed will be the case
within the next sixty days.
1t is rumored that the Colorado
Fuel and Iron people are consider
ing the feasibility of opening up
the Floresta anthracite, SO great is
the demand for hard coal.
Efforts will be made to drive the
workings of the Smith anthracite
lower vein beyond the block of
crushed coal, whi.h the entry has
been in for some distance.
1t is thought that this is but n
local condition caused by the hori.
zontal or sliding movement of the
roof aud that by drifting good coal
may be found in very short dist
ance. The vein is said to have
greater thickness than the upper
one. operated twenty years before
becoming exhausted.

The BelascO-"A Country Mousse"

The BeIascO-"A Country Mousse"
The return to Washington Of Miss Char
lotte Walker. who has always been a
popular favorite in this city. was signal
lied at the Belasco Theater last night by
an audience that tested the capacity of
the house. and which greeted the actress
and her company with a fervor that was
perhaps a trifie disproportionate.
For the opening Of her brief summer
season in stock Miss Walker chose as her
vehicle that clever and up-to-date comedy
of ultra-fashionable English life. a Coun-
try Mouse" by Arthur Law. a play init
mately associated with the success OF
Miss Ethel Barrymore.
II Is a clever play. full Of bright lines
it's dialogue fairly scintillates with
"smartness." and every character in the
comedy acts as foil to the part of Angela
Muir. a part which needs lot Of playing
and which was presented last night by
Miss Walker in a way that brought out
all the fine points. and which strikingly
emphasized the fact that here Is an
actress OF much more than ordinary
capability and power. For the adequate
presentation OF such I character as An
gela Muir, girl clever enough to main
tain the illusion Of unsophistication so
well as to deceive the veterans OF many
London seasons demands a degree OF sub
tlety in action, in facial expression. IN
gesture that is seldom 10 be found IN
combination, and when found stamps its
owner as the pOssessor Of something akin
20 genius
And there is no possible doubt that Miss
Charlotte Walker is an actress who Is
constantly improving In the details OF her
art-in sureness OF touch and self-confi-
dence, In technique, in the power Of vocal
expression, and in pantOmime. II is highly
probable that the season she has Just
closed under the management OF that
past master OF the art Of making ac-
tresses. Mr.. David Belasco. has had some
thing 10 do with this but at any rate one
may feel quite sure that In Miss Char
lotte Walker we have an actress to-day
capable OF essaying almost any part that
Is at all physically within her range and
grazing Il.
"a Country Mouse" is such a clever
play, and offers entertainment OF so high
a quality OF comedy-although at times,
as in the last act II almost descends to
farce-it gives Miss Walker such oppOr-
tunities, OF which she is so competent 70
take advantage, that II is a great pity
that her company is not a bit stronger.
The leading man. Mr.. Brigham Royce,
who did rather well playing "heavies'
with Mr.. Hackett. was utterly miscast in
the part OF a London dandy and roue.
The part calls for finesse and delcacy Of

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

A man often marries a woman.
Just 10 get her or his mind.
II Is difficult for an old horse
70 learn new tricks, but an old
man hasn't sense enough not to
try.
Success in love consists. not so
much in marrying the one person
who can make you happy, as in
escaping the many who could
make you miserable.
A mans club is the death cham
Der in which he browns his sor-
rows, buries his secrets, and
burns up his money.
When girl doesn't fall in love
with man who has fallen IN love
with her. he can only account for
II by believing that there must
be something abnormal about her.
Poise Is the thing that enables
a woman 20 smile, when the man
she has designs upon treads on
her chiffon skirts. and tears II of
the binding.
A bachelor always looks upon
his past love affairs as narrow
escapes; an old maid regards hers
as lost opportunities
The tenderest spot in q mans
makeup is sometimes the bald
spot on top Of his head.
