Visits Black Lion,

Hon. VIM. McEniry, of Rock Island,
Illinois, who has been attending the
democratic convention the past week,
came up to Idaho Springs to look after
the Black Lion property. Ute creek.
In conversation with a Sitting News
reporter he said that his company
would soon operate through the Burns.
Moore tunnel, as that tunnel would no
doubt reach the Black Lion vein with
in the next thirty days. He said that
the old workings of the mine were now
dry, having been drained by the Burns
Moore tunnel. The Black Lion mine
when operated was one of the heavy
producers of the camp, but on account of
great quantity of water, the company
had to suspend operations. The pur-
pose of the company is to drive drift
from the Black Lion vein east through
the property and make an upraise to
the old shaft, thus giving them depth
of over 1900 feet, which will be ample
for everal years work and enhance
the value of the property.

ground, but also the promotion and
business methods. The book should be

this great industry. The book, Rocks

published about three months, and
over twenty-one thousand, copies have
already been sold. Mr.. Clifford has
several thousand letters from persons

him for issuing such an interesting and
