erations between this time and the

BY the terms of the lease, the
lessees will be enabled to work the
ground for period of two years.
Considerable work has been done on
the property before it was acquired
by the Jim Butler Mining company.
The lessees will devote their atten-
tion for the present to the Fraction
No. l shaft, which is now down to
a depth of 400 feet. From that
level they will drift toward the West
End ground in an endeavor to locate
the ledge from which on the latter
splendid ore is being extracted.
Mr.. Mccarthy was quite reticent
yesterday when seen by a repr2sent-
ative of the Bonanza. He held him
self to the cold facts of the lease
and volunteered but little informa-

Lease Is Let on Good Ground
Chris Mccarthy and Harry Epstne Will Begin Operations
A Block of the Jim Butler Companys Ground

the departure of Mr. Epstine for the
north is connected with the raising
of the funds necessary to carry on
operations as they should be carried
on.
Another producer added to the list
of good ones in this camp would
prove of incalcuable benefit. In the
working of lease, nearly every
dollar remains at home And when
the period of production begins the
amount that finds its way into cir
culation on the spot is hard to esti-
mate
Great interest will attach to the
operations on the lease when work
is finally under way. 1t is asserted
that ore will not be difficult to en-
counter. However, that remains for
the future to reveal, although the
weight of opinion seems to be that
there is little chance of missing it..

rby Associated Press. 4,

DENVER, July 6.-Tonight there

tie-up occurred along the line of the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad

Royal Gorge. Here landslides caus-

track to a depth of from six to
twenty feet for several hundred feet
