English Capitalists Visit County.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry P. Lowe assist
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. Draper, Alsdorf and
Bowman, escorted party of English
Capitalists and Engineers around Gilpin
County last Sunday. After visiting the
Banks and the mills at Black Hawk they
were taken over the tram by special
train to see the mines along its route
especially of Quartz Hill.
A lunch was served at the Topeka
mine in Russell Gulch, after which the
party visited other mines and went
through one of them. They were driven
to Idaho Springs so they might take in
the Newhouse tnnnel and to see the i'm
portance of that project to the district.
While on the trip their escorts point
ed out the points of interest and the
histories of the several mines, the
visitors expressed themselves as delight
ed with the trip and gratified at the
outlook for the future.
The party returned to the county the
following day and investigated some in
dividual properties. A strong group of
financers were represented in the party
who will be guided by their engineers
report.

Open 10 Yampa Next Saturday.

The present expectation is that Yampa
will become the official terminus of the
Moffat road about next Saturday. The
work of ballasting the track between
Toponas and Yampa has been progress
sing rather slowly, but the surfacing
gang has now passed Finger Rock, and
will reace the Yampa yards by Monday
The steam shovel. which has been
loading the surfacing material at the
lava beds near Volcano, it is to be
brought to Yampa, and will be employ
ed in widening the cut at the east end
of the local yard, material being secured
here for all of the ballasting for several
miles north. 1t is expected that the
laying of track north of Yampa will be
commenced next week, and as soon as
the material cars can be moved out of
the Yampa yards, the handling of pas
senger and freight business to this
point will be commenced. -Yampa

Visits The East.

H. G. Shuck and family returned on
Friday from Bedford, Pa. Mr. Shuck
says the east is very quiet, with numer-
GUS factories closed and thousands of
men out of work. The railroad business
has fallen off more than half within the
past year and empty cars in endless
numbers are standing on the sidetracks.
In the Pennsylvania section there will
be abundant crops this year, but it is
doubtful if the farmers will find mar
ket for their produce. Politically speak
ing, Mr.. Shuck said that Pennsylvania
would go for Taft but there is consider
able doubt about him carrying New
York state. The farmers in the north
ern part of the state are commencing to
open their eyes on the tariff issue. The
Republicans have been promising them
revision of the tariff ever since the party
became proficient in the.art of decep-
ton and the farmers are tired of having
the wool pulled over their eyes. In
Oswego, large manufacturing center
of farm implements, plow sells for
$40 and in Canada a short distance
across the line the same plow can be
bought for $500. This is what the Re-
publicans call ''high protective tariff. ="
The farmer pays dearly for his protec-
ton. On plow alone he is required to
cough up s4.00. On thrashing ma
chine in that section he must "come
| through in proDortion having about
double what his Canadian brother has
to pay. The farmers in New York are
all agreeable to a change from the
protection" they have been receiving
from the Republicans. Mr.. Shuck and
family enjoyed very pleasant visit at
the old home, but are glad to get back
to Colorado and Gilpin county.

Mining DOn'ts.

A correspondent of the American
Mining Review promulgates the follow
ing don'ts that may be useful to miners
everywhere.
Don't work your hardest when the
boss comes around.
Don't carry dynamite in your boot
leg, nor in the breast of your shirt.
Don't carry decorating (giant) caps
loose in your pockets.
Don't crimp giant caps onto the fuse
with your teeth-use the tool made for
the purpose.
Don't smoke in the mine-particulary
when making primers, or at the powder
bench or in the magazine-it may nece-
ssitate lay off of the entire crew to at
tend your funeral.
Don't warm chilled powder in cook
stove, on the boiler or in any other man.
ner than by placing it in a proper cover
ed vessel set in warm water.
Don't go to drilling in face after a
round has been fired-either in a drift
or shaft, without carefully searching
for missed holes. There is no greater
element of danger in mining than the
missed hole.
Don't disdain to learn from others.
There are many mines in many lands.
Perhaps the other fellows way be bet
ter than your way-live and learn.

arrangements for the big Labor day
celebration have commenced collecting
the contributions. They will have close
to $35O.00, with which to conduct the
affair.
The large bills advertising the cele-
bration were posted the fore part of the

is a. tug-of-war, ore shoveling contest,
foot, races, burro races and other field
sports. The local band has been en-
gagged to discourse music during the day.
Three games of ball will be played be-
tween the Keystones of Denver and the

Monday evening: which will conclude
the program, an orchestra will furnish
the music. The celebration committee
says that while the amount raised this
year is not as large as on previous oc-

MINING EP|T0ME
Properties Generally Active
Throughout County and
New Mines Starting

1t is understood that the suit that has
been pending in the district court the
past several months, involving the rich
War Dance mine in Russell Gulch has
been compromised and that litigation
will cease. Work will at once be COM
menced on larger scale than heretofore
and shipments will be made with in
creased regularity. The settling of
this case is good news to the county. 1t
was a regrettable occurrence when the
mine became entangled in a suit just at
a time when the rich ore being taken
was causing the mining fraternity all
over the country to turn their attention
to Russell Gulch.

MEEKER-SUCCESS
Rich Group Of Mines in Rus
sell Pass Into Hands of
Michigan Parties

An important mining deal has beer
closed whereby two of the best mines in
Russell Gulch pass into the hands of a
number of Michigan copper capitalists.
These properties are the Meeker and
Success, located near the celebrated
War Dance. A company is being or
ganized, to be known as the Calumet &
Colorado Mining company, which will
soon inaugurate an aggressive cam
paign of development and production.
Thomas Crago, a mine expert of Laur-
ium, Mich, has been here and made a
thorough investigation of the proper
ties.
In the Success-Meeker holdings, be-
side these two claims, there are the Star
Route, Star Tara, Cuba, Matilda S. and
Opal. The Meeker and Success endline
one with the other and the Opal is par
allel with the War Dance.
Operations on the Success and Meeker
We're formerly confined to shaft on
each property close together and in
about the center of the group. The
Meeker shaft is about 300 feet deep and
connects with the Success at a depth of
$50 feet. Several drifts have been ex-
tended from the Meeker but no attempt
at development has ever been made.
The shaft on the Success is 500 feet
deep. The workings below the 250-foot
level are flooded with water. A COM
plete record of the past production of
the Success is not to be had, but it is
claimed that from the 25O-foot drift
alone in the early days close to $3.50
in gold was taken out. Assays from
the Success and Meeker show values
varying from SAT to $50 to the ton. To
the extreme west of the Meeker, at the
War Dance line, ore assaying as high as
81, 900 to the ton has been taken out.
Development outlined by the Calumet
& Colorado company will consist of the
cleaning out and retimbering of the
shaft on the Success and the pulling of
water. The Meeker shaft is caved in
near the top, but as there is a connec-
tion with the Success both properties
can be operated through the shaft OF
the latter. The Success shaft will have
to be Strengthened so that skip can be
operated. There is 6xS hoist on the
mine and other equipment so that oper-
ations can be commenced with very
little preparatory work.
1t can readily be contemplated that
with a little development this large
group of properties will yield immense
tonnage of ore of an exceptionally high
grade. Some of the claims are SO close
| to the War Dance they can almost be
considered part of that rich treasure
trove. This deal is one of the greatest
that has been consummated in this dis
trict of recent years and is one that will
prove of lasting Importance to Gilpir
county.

a nice eight inch streak of mineral that
test runs show values from $32 to $4S
per ton. Aside from this streak he has
four feet of milling ore of paying quail

j. A. Curran, Chris. Hesselbine and

a shaft on the Ridge, located above the
Saratoga. The shaft is 80 feet deep and
sinking is being pursued with light
machinery, which will be replaced with
heavier equipment as soon as more depth
is attained. While this property has
been owned for some time by the gentle
men above mentioned they gave it no
thought until they visited the Gilpin

that anyone interested in mine in Gil

indeed, from almost anything that
fancy may dictate. The little trim

greatly in vogue, but that finish also
is optional, for the blouse itself is

s45, 1000 JoBLEss RAILROAD MEN.
Vast Army of Employees Has Been
Laid Off Since JuAe.

Chicago.-On seventeen fepresen-
tative railroads of the United States,
constituting one-third of the mileage
of the country, the total number of
employees is eighteen per cent. smaller
than on June 80, 1907. This state
ment is based ON authoritative figures
just obtained by the Chicago General
Managers Association for the infor-
nation of its members.
The railroads from which reports
were received traverse practically all
parts of the country and the figures
are said by railroads managers to be
fairly typical OF railway conditions
generally. The percentage of men
laid off is much the same among all
the line, running from fifteen to five
per cent. of the number employed last
June. In one or two instances the
figure is larger. On some of the
roads not included in the list the per-
centage of men discharged is known
to be as large or larger than those
reporting. Among these is the Penn
sylvania.
The total mileage of the seventeen
railroads amounts to 71,S72 miles.
On June 80, 1907, the number of
men employed on these roads aggre-
gated 581,713. At present the num-
Der is 476,947, a decrease of 104,766.
The number of idle employees at pres
ent is probably in the neighborhood
of 345,000.

From the figures available to the

taking the country as a whole, the
revenues of the railroads have fallen
off to the extent that generally is be-
lieved. I have the figures compiled

The figures are for the months of
/ July. August and September, and a
study of them shows that the panic,
so far as it affected the railroads, ex-
tended but slightly beyond Chicago
toward the West.
Viewing the country as whole,
the outlook for the railroads, as
shown by their own figures, is not so
disquieting as has been supposed, and
these figures, it must be remembered.
include at least two months after the
panic began in New York, during a
greater portion of which time banks
would not make loans or discounts
and railroads in many parts of the
country would not receive checks in
payment of freight.
There can be no question that
within the past three weeks there has
been a strong upward tendency in
freight revenues. A greater volume
of traffic is moving to-day than has
been moved at any time during the
past two and perhaps three months.
The figures of the American Railway
Association show that there is less
surplus of cars at this time than at
any period since October 80 This

NAL conditions, and railroad men
generally are more optimistic than
they have been since the Knicker-
