City Fathers Have New Quarters.

The new, commodious quarters of
the city council in the basement of the
Carnegie library bu Id ing were occupied
for the first time Thursday evening, it
being the regular meeting night for the
city fathers. The Improvement over
the Old council room is very marked,
and the move is most commendable.
Barely a quorum was present when
Mayor Roberts raped for order. After
the approval of the m nutes Of the pre-
vious meeting, petition signed by
large number of property owners ask
ing that the saloon lcense be reduced
from 5000 to 500 per year was read,
and called forth much discussion. At
torney Sabln appeared in behalf of the
saloonmen, sett ng forth divers reasons
for the reduction, bat his eloquence
fell upon deaf ears, and the petition
was rejected by vote of four to three.
Doctors Fraser and McCapes were
present and urged that immediate
action be taken by the CITY looking IS
the examination of dairy cows to elImi-
nate the danger from tuberculosis, and
both gentlemen talked .entcrtainlngly
on the subject. The matter was
passed up to special committee
which will at once take action.
Dick White appeared before the
board in behalf of the fire department
and asked perm ssion to use the vacated
council chamber for the meetings of
the firemen, and his request was grant
ed. The police magistrate was also
instructed to forthwith move INTO the
old council chamber, thus saving neat
sam yearly in rent.
Mrs. Lueders was granted a lease on
the opera house build ng for term Of
five years under the same terms that
have prevailed in the past.
Vigorous discussion was INDUCED in
regarding properties that do not con-
meet with the sewers, and the owners
will be pulled up short if they do not
comply with the ord nance.
Current monthly bills were allowed.

Ieasers Ship Lots of Ore.

The Gem mine is now worked exclu-
sively by leasers whD are extracting
in the neighborhood 100 tons of ore
daily, All of the product is coming
out through the portal the Newhouse
tupnel, and the capac ty of the tunnel
rolling stock equipment is taxed to
handle the traffic, despite the asser-
tion Of the Newhouse management that
present business does not justify the
building of more ore cars for customers
operating in the tunnel 1t is fact
that patrons of the tunnel company
are securing very poor service in that
they are obliged to wait for cars in
which to load their ore This is par
ticularily the case at the Gem mine,
whTe the leasers are complaining be-
cause of the enforced loss of time.
There are of course, times when the
empty cars become punched and are
not readily accessible along the laterals

The above scheme Was recommended

on January 7. The nonresident
stockholders have all been consulted
by mail and are nearly unanimous
ly in favor of the plan to carry the tun-
mel to completion. The Lucania tun-
mel is one of the shortest tunnel pro-
jects in the district. in that it reaches

PennsylvAniAn Visitors.

Thursday evening Mr.. c.. C. Pence,
of Braddock, Pa, and MIR. and Mrs.
T. J, Conley, of McKees Rock Pa
arrived for q several days stay in camp
on mining business. Mr.. Pence 10 in
terested in the Commodore tunnel and
property on Red Elephant mountain
and his visit here is for the purpose Of
making . personal inspection Of the
workings which have been opened up
since his last visit some months ago. 1t
il believed that the rich old ore shoot
in the White vein has been recovered,
and At such time as the price of silver
has advanced sufficiently large ore
production can be maintained from
above the Commodore tunnel level. It
is said that the ore can be extracted
At good profit at thiA time, but the
richest material will probably be left
in the slopes until better conditions
prevail. Lead is a large by-product
from Red Elephant mountain, and a
considerable amount of the ore car
ries enough to pay the working char
ges, freight and haulage.

Honest John Mining Ore.

The Denver Republican of last Tues
day contained the following item in
regard to the taking over under lease
of the Chicago mountain mines by the
Honest John tunnel company:
H. G. Fowler of 2456 West Thirty
eighth avenue, who is secretay treasur
er of the Honest John Mining, Milling
& Tunnel company, returned yesterday
from Idaho Springs. where he complet-
ed deal whereby his company ac-
quires the Black Eagle mine situated
two miles up Chicago creek, from the
city. not far from the point where the
Honest John tunnelis is being driven to
cross cut the true fissure veins.
The Black Eagle has an abundance of
ore and the new management VIII be
gin operating the property i'm nediately
Before operating the property to ca
pacity the Honest John company will
spend large sum installing improved
machinery to the end that the greatest
possible value may be obtained from
the ores.
The Black Eagle mine is well de-
veloped by means of shaft that is
down 585 feet. There is ore in all of
the seven levels. The property has
been operated for two and one-half
years under lease and has been shipping
steadily during this time with far pro-
fit to the lessees.
The shaft is equipped with a steam
hoist and is well timbered. Included
in the property is a mill at the foot
OF the mountain, To enable heavy pro-
duction the Honest John company will
equip the mine with air drills and will
install the aerial gravity tram from the
top to the mill. Improvements will b.
made in the mill also, SUIT .ng It to the
requirements for the ore that comes
from the mine.
I'VE could ship 100 tons daily" said
Mr.. Fowler. land there is plenty of ore
already exposed to provide shipments
for long time. There is ore every
whore and one room in the mine alone
has produced $4,000. Plenty of the
ore runs SO and we will be able to
make profit on 81 ore. The veins
run three to 10 feet and we have a ser
les of juctions which means ore in
quantity"
1t is the intention of the Honest John
company to drive its Big tunnel with
out interruption through operating the
Black Eagle property.

AImAden H1ane Shipping.

A carload shipment of ore from the
Almaden mines on Fall river was settled
for this week at the Globe smelter in
Denver. The carload weighed Al. 500
pounds gross, and the control assay
gave O.2l ounce gold and lO5D oun ces
IN silver per ton and showed l.3 per
cent. copper wet, and S.2 per cent lead
having a gross value $65, per ten.
Ihe total amount rec eived for the car
I,ad was in the naighb ,rh ,od of 81. 2O)
he ore is the second class product from
the mine, the first class being sorted
out and sacked for separate shipment
when carlot has accumulated. The
high grade material contains much ruby
liver and will give returns running
into the hundreds of dollars per ton.
The Almaden mines is now on a mining
basis and should soon return regular
profits to the company, as nearly all of
the preliminary development work has
been accomplished, and it is only nee
essary to maintain development ahead
Of production to insure steady output
of profitable ore. Few mines in the
district possess the natural advantages s
enjoyed by the Alamaden, in that with
an edit level great depth is attained on
the vein. The present year should see
large tonnage shipped from the mine
Secretary A. r. Comstock and Manager
F. w. D.ckerson are devoting their en-
tire time toward placing the mine on the
shipping list by seeing to the extraction
and marketing Of the ores.

Mieks Striksx Ore In Bright Light.

A promising strike has been made
In the Bright Light prospect located
on the south slope of the Molly Bawn
mountain, and owned by M. S. Hicks.
q prospector who has spent the past
quarter of = century in this district.
The find was made last Monday in a
drift Is feet west from the bottom of a
6O-foot shaft and consists of a 4-inch
streak which assays IL ounce gold and
52. 20 ounces silver per ton. Some of
material alongside gave returns Of .04
gold and 20. 70 ounces in silver, and both
of the samples contained lead, the
finch streak stuff carrying about 20
per cent. Mr.. Hicks has a group of
four claims, the Bright Light, Busy
West, Dry Climate and Side lodes,
which has been developing for the past
two years at such times as he could.
The present strike is probably the be-
ginning of an ore shoot which was ex-
posed by surface Indications and Mr..
Hicks has great hopes that it will de-
velop into a shipping property with q
little further dead work. Mr.. Hicks is
. mine blacksmith by occupation and

votes his effortes to his min
