Base Ball.

The game of base ball at City park
Sunday afternoon was very tame af-
fair. The Cottrels were unable to get
themselves together and played very
loose game. The team that represented
Central City played a fairly good game
of ball. The score stood is to in favor
of Central. The day was beautiful and
just right for playing ball, but evidently
the Denverites were in bad form.
The rooters for Central We're plentiful
but when good play is made, whether
Denver or Central, or any other old
team, credit should be given where it is
due. 1t was noticeable that in the
grand stand several "old-timers' so far
forgot themselves to think that it was a
cricket game and roasted the visiting
team numerically. Central appeared
in their new uniforms. which were of
dark blue color, and did justice to them
for the second game of the season. A
coed series of ball games may be looked
for during the summer.

Hubert Mine will Start.

H. C. Bolsinger, manager of the HUI
bert mine, put force of men to work
this week getting the top buildings OF
the property in shape for the early re-
sumption of operations. Some repairs
will be made to the shaft house and
the machinery will be cleaned up. The
mine has been idle since 1900 but the
buildings have been looked after and as
a result are in very good condition. The
shaft is also in good shape and very lit
tie timbering will be required. Work
will be carried on above the 7O0-foot
level. The mine will be operated on the
leasing system principally, although
some work will be done on company ac-
count.
A peculiar condition obtains at the
Hubert in regard to the water in the
mine. Last March Mr.. Bolsinger made
an examination of the property down to
the water level, which at that time was
46 feet above the 7OO-foot drift. Now
the water is three feet below the 700.
There is a four-inch stream running into
the shaft from the 450-foot level on the
west side, but despite the inflow the
water has gone down almost so feet in
the shaft and 1000 feet of drifts
and slopes, averaging from four to six
feet in width have been drained. Mr..
Bolsinger is completely at loss to ac-
count for this most singular happening.
The only reason he can advance and this
is most vague one, is that the Hubert
and Gunnell mines being on the same
water course and the fact that the wat
er in the Gunnell is going down, the
Gunnell may be draining the Hubert.
There is one theory that may be ad-
vanced and which Mr.. Bolsinger has
overlooked-perhaps the Hubert has
"sprung leak"

Good Milling and Smelling Ore.

The Aztec Mines company, working
the Bench and Defiance in Russell dis
trict, are shipping good grade of mill
ing and smelling ore. The mill dirt runs
two ounces on the plates and the con-
centrates bring s25.0O to the ton. Ship
ments average about 20 tons a day.
Monday a carload of smelling ore was
made to the valley smelters and it is ex-
pected that this will run as good as the
previous shipments, which went $4,000
to the ton. Both the milling and smelt-
ing ore comes from depth of 120 feet,
running east on the Defiance. The bot
tom level has just been opened up since
the Aztec people took hold of these
properties and future development con-
templated is the sinking of the Defiance
to greater depth, which will be COM
menced within the next two weeks.
Drifting west in the Bench is under
way.

Four.foot Vein In Saratoga Lateral.

The Idaho Springs correspondent to
the Denver Republican yesterday said:
In driving the lateral of the Saratoga
and at distance east from the New
house tunnel of 2, 300 feet, vein of ore
was encountered last evening that av-
erages four feet in width. A fair aver
age of the entire vein assayed BIG
ounces gold and about four ounces silver
or about $65.00 ton.
1t had been followed about 100 feet
and had averaged six to Is inches wide,
with assays of one ounce gold, but last
night it suddenly widened out to five
feet at the bottom of the drift and
about three and half feet at the top.
Manager John Owen expects that with
in the next Is feet the vein will be
eight feet or over in width. The dis
tance from the surface to the bottom
of the drift on the pitch of the vein is
1,400 feet. Under present conditions
each round of shot will knock down 25
to 80 tons of this ore and carload will
be shipped each day.
AS each shot knocks down six lineal
feet, it means that the ore will return,
without considering increase of width,
from $225 to $500 for each foot the drift
is driven.
