Activity at Highland Park.

Highland Park and the country west
OF the Lamartine district will be the cen
ter of great activity the coming summer.
says the Idaho Springs correspondent
of the Daily Mining Record. All the
mineral land of that section has been
consolidated under a few strong COM
panies and development plans of con.
siderable scope have been made and
will be gotten under way. The terri
tory is particularly adapted to tun-
mel mining, a most fortunate circum-
stance, as there is such quantities of
water in the mountains at that point
that other methods have heretofore
been impracticable. The Tolland
company, the Highland, and the Swift
tunnels are projected into the best
of the section ana have already been
driven considerable distances. With
their further progress there cannot
fail to be some splendid finds of min
eral, for there is observable in the en-
tire outcrop the most remarkable indi-
cations of mineral to be seen any
where in the mountains. Such de-
velopment as has in the past been ac-
complished by shaft workings has fur
ther indicated extraordinary mineral
ization. All such work has been SUI
perficial and until the tunnels pene-
trate the greater depths the true ore
zone cannot be known.
This section is that lying between
the Lamartine and the Comet and
Magnet mines. 1t is a huge dyke OF
eruptive origin and characterized
throughout its length by the same for
nation found in the aforementioned
mines. which have been among the
richest. To one who is acquainted
with this territory there is no element
of doubt in the anticipation that other
equal ore bodies exist in undeveloped
intervals between the great producers.

Slow Mental Ripenino.

Not infrequently those mentalities
that ripen the slowest last the longest,
and often the history of these great
men has been persistent neglect and
worldly coldness until 40 or more
years have passed before their great
ness has been conceded by their con-
temporaries. Truly, "the life history
of great genius is almost invariably
one of sad and somber tone, a walk
apart from the beaten path" Such are
the words Of one who should know
what the "doers of deeds" must en-.
dure. Be this as it may,

Cheap Homemade Barometer.

A weather man described the other
day cheap homemade barometer.
He said it was only necessary to
take a piece of string about Is inches
long and to soak it several hours in
a strong solution of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against wall, mark
being made to show where the weight
reaches.
The barometer Is now complete. 1t
is as accurate as a 500 instrument.
The weight rises for wet weather and
falls for fine.
