$4,000 and $4,000 Uranl0m Ore.

Messers. w. H. Malet, Fred Toller
and Frank White, who have lease on
the Belcher mine on Quartz hill, owned
by H. A. Campbell, of Denver, have
made big strike of uranium ore. The
ore runs between 40 and so per cent
uranium and is worth between $4,000
and Sc, 600 to the ton. Samples of the
stuff have been shipped to New York
for competitive bids. The Belcher is
a parallel vein to the Wood and Kirk
and is likely continuation of the Ger
man. These latter properties have pro-
duced considerable uranium.
The parties who last worked the
Belcher sunk the mine and left the
uranium exposed. All that was neces-
sary for the present lessees to do was
to clean out the workings and strip the
ore. The vein is opened for IA feet
along the drift and the streak is about
IL inches wide. Since taking hold of
the Belcher Mr.. Malet and associates
have erected small shaft house and
installed gasoline engine. They are
now prepared to pursue heavy opera
tions on the mine.

/ Mecca iof homeseeker

One Of Montana 8 most beautiful ag-
ricultural valleys is now the scene of
unusual activity, as hundreds of home
seekers from all parts of the country
are going there to take up their new
homes.
The Sun River valley, which is located
a little west of the center of the state
on the eastern slope of the Rocky
mountains and near the city of Great
Falls, was selected several years ago
by the Reclamation service as choice
area for the construction of a stu
pendous irrigation work. The work
has progressed rapidly and several
farms have been thrown open to settlers
on very liberal terms.
These farms will be obtainable under
the homestead law, subject to the
charges of actual cost of water from
the system. This charge has been fixed
at $50 per acre, divided into not less
than five nor more than ten annual pay
ments. The sum of $3.50 will be due
and payable at the time of making
entry. The second instalment will be
payable March /, 1910, thus allowing
early settlers nearly two years before
second payment is due. In this period
any Industrious settler can get his land
in shape to earn its own repayment of
the charges.
An interesting and unique feature in
connection with the project is the pro-
posed esta blishment of model rural vii
lagos every six miles. In all there will
be 20 Of these, so that no farm will be
more than three miles from post Office
and school.
All the crops which can be grown in
northern countries can be raised here.
1t is probable that the principal crops
raised will be alfalfa, sugar beets and
potatoes. Usually three cuttings of al
falfa are made annually. Some have
cut only two crops, and others have cut
four, but the average is three, and the
average yield about five tons per acre.
The present price varies from IS to SIS
per ton in the stack, according to loca-
tion and demand. 1t is not probable
that the average price will drop below
IS for many years. The cost Of putting
the hay into the stack is about SIPS
per ton.
The average yields per acre are po-
tatoes, 22s bushels; wheat, % bushels;
oats, SO bushels; sugar beets, 20 tons.
Full details relating to terms, size Of
farm units and other information re-
garding the method of securing lands
will be furnished on application to s. B.

CENTRAL CITY, COLO. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 12 1908
Heavy Smelling Values in The Hall.

Mike Whalen, managing the Hall
mine in Russell Gulch for John Stewart,
of Denver, intends to increase the force
of miners the latter part of this week
and commence sinking. A new As h. p.
boiler has just been installed on the
property, which puts the equipment in
shape to increase development. The
mine has been worked steadily since
June and in the 1O0-foot level, where
drifting is being prosecuted smelling
ore worth $138.OO to the ton is being
taken out. The mill ore is also of a
good grade. Forty tons of this were
shipped few days ago, but no returns
have been received. There are still
seventy tons ready for the mills.
The Hall has been good mine in its
day, considering the limited work that
has been done on it. The shaft is only
200 feet deep and practically all the ore
taken out has been from points above
the 1OO-foot level. With greater depth
it is anticipated that heavy values will
be struck as it has been fully demon
strated that the richness of the ore in
creases in the Russell mines as depth
is attained. Mr.. Whalen is one of the
most practical mine managers in the
county and under his efficient direction
the Hall property is bound to develop
into big paying proposition.

Messenger Bous ORGANIZE.

The boys of the Methodist Sunday
school, between the ages of IL and 16,
met at the home of E. G. Green last
Iuesday evening, and completed an
organization to be known as the "Mes-
senger Boys" About fifteen boys were
present, and the organization is start
ing out under very favorable prospects.
Ofhcers were chosen as follows
President, Charles Anger; vice-presi-
dent, Edward Hosking; secretary, Joe
Hicks; treasurer, Charles Vivian; SER
geant-at-arms, Robert Hearne.
One of the important topics of discus
sion was the organization of football
team, and it was finally decided to get
up such team. Frank Barbee was
elected captain, and George Mallett,
manager. Any team in this or surround
ing counties, of an average age of IA
years, is hereby challenged to game,
arrangements to be made through the
manager.
1t is intended to make the Messenger
Boys a permanent organization. Any
boy between IL and l6 years, belonging
to the Methodist Sunday school, is
eligible for membership. See the presi-
dent.
Athletics has been adopted as one of
the features of the club, and basketball,
base ball, and track athletics will fol-

Ben.Hur in Denver.

Towering triumphantly as the most
massive and picturesque as we'll as the
most impressive dramatic spectacle in
the history of the world, "Ben-Hu will
seek new honors at the Broadway thea
tire, Denver, Colo, on Monday evening,
November %, where it will remain
throughout Thanksgiving week. In ad-
dition to the six evening performances,
there will be Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, together with special
Thanksgiving day matinee, on Thurs
day, November 26.
OF all the spectacular productions of
modern times, none has been credited
with so long run of prosperity as this
great and popular dramatic spectacle.
"Ben-Hur" is to-day crowned with a
record of more than $500 performances
in America and 200 in London, in a
little over nine years, and has been
seen by more than seven million people.
The success of the play is credited to
the religious sentiment that prevails in
the theme, making it particularly at
tractive to the non-theatregoer, who,
as rule, avoids the playhouse, owing
to religious scruples. "Ben-Hur" has
the endorsement of the leading lights
of the church world and has appealed
to all theatregoers as the most power
full drama that has ever been created
for the stage.
In order to take care of out-of-town
patrons for "Ben-Hur, Manager Peter
McCourt of the Broadway theatre will
fill mail orders in accordance with date
of their receipt, when accompanied by
remittance. The scale of prices will
range from so cents to $500. Seats
will go on sale Thursday, November 10.

CARROLL MINE
TO OPERATE
Work Will Commence
in a Few Days on an
Old Producer.

The news is gained from a most re-
near the Spur Daisy is soon to begin
operations on an extensive scale. The
Lusitania Mining company, is in pos
session of the property. l. w. Daw-
son, of Denver, president of the COM
pany, was here this week making ar
rangements for the installation of a
heavy plant of machinery in the large
and substantially constructed building
which already covers the shaft. Mining
will be commenced in the course of two
or three weeks.
The Carroll is continuation of the
famous Spur Daisy vein. 1t is one of
the Oldest patented claims in the county.
The main shaft was driven on the vein
from surface and followed a highly
mineralized crevice to it's present depth
of something over 260 feet. On the
main vein of the lode drifts have been
extended at the $50 and 250-foot levels.
The Carroll has splendid production
record for the limited development that
has been done on the mine. A block of
ground 100 feet long and about the
same heighth, between the 1st and End
levels, has yielded close to SIS, and
in block of ground close to this large
ore body production of $4,000 was
made.
After the Newhouse tunnel is COM
pleted to the Eureka mine and is then
continued a few hundred feet, it will
cut the Carroll at depth of 1900 feet.
This will give perpetual drainage to a
vast amount of ground and will enable
the Carroll to become one of the largest
gold producers in the state.
Of recent years the Carroll has been
worked in desultory manner by les
sees, who have taken out good pay ore.
Samples of the last ore extracted show
ed values of $500. 90 to the ton and large
ore bodies can be opened up at a cost
that will be comparatively trivial. 1t
is not anticipated that water will in
terfere with operations during the next
$50 or 400 feet and by the time this
depth is attained the Newhouse will
likely have undercut the shaft short
distance below.

War Dance Again In Courts.

The War Dance mining claim in Gil
pin county, recently become famous be-
cause of fabulously rich strikes of gold
ore, has been made the subject of liti-
cation in the federal court in suit filed
yesterday by A. G. Elliot of Denver in
his own behalf and in behalf of stock
holders in the Russell District Gold and
Silver Mining company to restrain Jas.
C. Hutchinson and T. ]. Chase, both as
principals and trustees of certain stock
holders in the same company, from
further working, leasing or in any way
interfering with the company's pro-
perty.
1t is charged that the property Of the
company has been mismanaged and a
receiver is asked for, as we'll as an ac-
counting of all ores recently taken from
the various mines which the company
has been working. The petition states
that the property is very rich and that
the plaintiff and other stockholders are
not receiving the profits due them.
The company was organized in 1880
with capital stock of 50, 900, 900. divid-
ed into 80, 900 shares of par value Of s25
each. OF this stock, Elliot says he owns
one-tenth. The principal claims owned
by the company are the War Dance,
Bosom Plume, New Brunswick, Prin-
cess Louise, Big Wampum and Tiger.
The company was organized as Colo
RADIO coropration, though most Of its
stockholders were Eastern people, many
of them residing at Wilkesbarre. Pa.
Among the Eastern stockholders men,
toned as defendants are Russell and
Adelaide Bonnell, J. W. Hollenback, F..
j. Leavenworth and Richard Sharpe,
Jr.
A temporary restraining order will be
issued in few days putting an end to
further working the War Dance mine
until the final hearing of the case.-

OPTION ON
WAR DANCE
L. D. Mccall May Take
Over Property After
1st Of January.

Some intimation was given the read
ing public last Saturday evening of the
deal that is being negotiated for the
transfer of the War Dance property in
an article which appeared in the Den
yer Times. 1t has been the general
talk in the county the past two or three
months that this celebrated property is
soon to pass into other hands. About
month ago an option was given by
the lessees to L. D. Mccall of Chicago
for large sum, said to be more than
S10O, 900. This option holds until the
first of the year. Mr.. Mccall at pre-
sent is in Wilkesbarre, Pa, endeavor-
ing to complete negotiations for the
purchase of the mine. Others are in
terested with him in the proposition.
Very little has been heard from the
War Dance since the mine became in
volved in litigation. 1t jumped into
prominence in the early part of May
of this year when ore was struck that
was so rich in the yellow metal the
whole country stood aghast. A few
shipments of this ore, which assayed
anywhere from $500 to S64, 900, were
made and then A. G. Elliott, who claim
ed he had one-tenth interest in the
mine dating back to time twenty or
thirty years ago when he with others
had possession of the property, de-
manded his share. His claim was finally
adjusted or disposed Of in some manner
and shipments were resumed but not on
an extensive scale. A shipment is oc-
casionally being made, but just enough
ore is being taken out to meet current
expenses, during the tendency of the
transfer. Should the option not be
taken up the first of the year, the les
sees will continue work with renewed
vigor, and make production that will
outclass that of any mine in the district.
The shaft has been sunk and new
ground, all carrying high values, has
been opened up. There are now num-
erous ore bodies where at first there
was but one or two.

Large Crevice In The Coffin Tunnel

w. G. Coffin, who is working the Cof-
fin lode below the junction of Russell
and Lake gulches has opened up good
strong crevice. He is running tunnel
from the Russell side and is in so feet.
The vein at present is two feet wide.
The value of the ore has not been de-
termined but looks IS though it will
run well. The character of the ore is
quartz with lead and copper. When
the tunnel is driven ten or fifteen feet
more shipments will be commenced.
