The Dump Fell Down.

The Idaho Springs correspondent for
The Daily Mining Record is what is
tremed in common parlance peach.
according to the following 'veracious'
statement in the issue of that paper of
W ednesday, January 20.
The Waltham mine, in Virginia
canyon, will probably be undergoing
development in the near future. The
owner has secured the services of Geo.
X. kimball, manager of the Old Town.
who has put force of men to work in
unwatering the shaft workings. With
this undertaking completed vn expert
examination of the workings will be
made by Mr. Kimoall, at which time
he will submit his report to the owner
as to the best manner to further de-
velopment The Waltham was sup
posed to be aheavy producer number
of years ago. but it always has been
impossible to ascertain the amount of
ore extracted 1t was long known up
until three years ago as a mine with
out dump, and then operators dis
posed of the same at figure approx
imately 100000 upon the strength Of
this assertion. The purchaser claimed
that he had been handed "gold brick"
and threatened to seek redress in the
courts. AS to what became of the
of the dump matter is a matter of
conjecture, but at any rate consider
able amount of ore was milled in Ida
no Springs. Some contend that the
material broke loose and slid down the
mountainside.'
The absurdity of the stuff is patent to
anyone familiar with the district. The
Waltham mine referred to is located in
Willis gulch, three-quarters Of a mile
south Of Central City, and in place
where dump would have to make an
awful effort to slide anywhere. The
news which the writer of the above
item was trying to tell about, was
was that the Ward mine on Edwards
bar, just outside of the city limits of
Idaho Springs and within stones
throw of the spot where Jackson first
discovered gold in paying quantities in
Colorado, is being unwatered for the
purpose of undergoing an expert ex-
animation. The Ward mine was
owned by the Waltham Mining and
Milling company. The information
was misstated in local contemporary
but the correct facts were given in
the last issue Of this paper. Only
another evidence that if you care to
have reliable mining news you should
see that the Siftings-News reaches you
regularity, dear reader.

A new streak of ore came in on the
hanging wall in the breast of the
adit on the Golden Rod vein Thursday
which promises to develop into an ore
shoot with further driving. An assay
of the streak made yesterday gave .4s
ounce gold and $50 ounces silver per
ton, together with l6 per cent. in lead.
The adit is being driven by the Nevada
Capitol Gold Mining company, which
was worked continuously in the de-
velopment of the property with small
force. The point at which the dis
covery was made is near the junction

hoist at the collar of the Gopher shaft
in the Lotus group, in Russell district
and the shaft is now being sunk on four
feet of solid mineral at depth of
little over 100 feet. 1t is the intention
to sink the Gopher shaft to depth of
400 feet where it is expected the Mich
igan Boy vein joins the Gopher. The
Michigan Boy dips northwest and the
Gopher slightly to the south, and
where the two veins come together an
ore shoot of generous proportions is
confidently expected. The Hot Time
lateral from the Newhouse tunnel
crosses the west end of the Michigan
Boy claim, and follows the Columbus
claim of the Lotus group from end
to end under Russell gulch.
The Denmark tunnel on Chicago
creek is being driven ahead with one
shift and another shift is employed
in driving east of the tunnel
on the first vein encountered at
point about 100 feet in from the en-
trance. The lateral has been extended
east Is feet and has reached junction
of three veins which has resulted in
four foot streak of well mineralized
material being opened. On the hang
inp wall OF the main vein a two-inch
streak was recently encountered which
returned 3.2l ounces in gold per ton.
The material is being sacked from the
small streak. The balance of the vein
matter now exposed is all of a milling
grade and will be treated by ANAL
pamation in the near future. Free
go,d ;s visible in some of the ore show

Unbecoming a Minister.

A Laporte minister has gone into
court and testified that he bought
and drank Intoxicating liquors in a
saloon at unlawful hours in order that
he might file affidavits and secure a
conviction of the saloon keeper. Such
a method of procedure deserves the
severest censure of the courts and
prosecuting officers What ought TO
be done in the case would tbe the
unfrocking of the minister. HIS evil
dence has no place in a court of jus
tice If he is able to secure evidence
of illegal sales of liquors, it is his
duty TO do so, as good citizen, pro-
vided he secures it through proper
channels Playing the spy, himself,
however, is not a ministers province
In this case he virtually induced the
saloonkeeper to commit a crime that
he might file an affidavit against him
This method is contrary to the spirit
and the letter of the law The fact is.
the minister by being in the saloon
on Sunday, drinking Intoxicating
liquor to gain evidence was exactly

New Factory Law Defective.

The recent activity of the state
factory inspector in inspecting thea
ters has revealed that the entire ac.
of 1905 relating to the construction of
heaters amounts to nothing in the
cases of theaters constructed before
the act went into effect William E.
Blakeley, Inspector, realizes that
there is weakness in the present
law, and it is more than likely that
an attempt will be made to effect the
passage of an amendatory clause at
the next session of the legislature.
That the law of 1905 provides some
excellent regulations for the con-
struction OF theaters is the opinion
OF the department of inspection but
its weakness lies in the fact that the
penalizing clause provides penalties
only for those erecting or altering
theaters subsequently to the time of
the laws going into effect
