The Stanley to Resume.

During the past few days reports
have been flying thick and fast as
to what will be done at the old re-
liable. producer, the Stanley mines.
With a past production of approx
mately three and half millions OF
dollars, with underground workings
that only require additional develop
ment to place it on a second stage
of this large production, with build
ings and equipments of the most con-
>venient, substantial and elaborate
Character there is no reason why the
Stanley should not take its place
along with our very best producers.
In this same section are many mines
that are getting ready to yield to the
drills, such as the Josephine. .Brona-
Der, Metropolitan and numerous
others. The shipping facilities as
we'll as the milling facilities of this
property are of the best. The Colo
RADIO and Southern railroad passes
directly in front OF 1t, while spur
from this line is run to the very
DOTldl OI Lue anu W eAN oAo
shaft and ore building. Two mills
are right at hand, the Lincoln and
the Salisbury and each of which have
immediate connection with the rail
road and only a few feet away from
this line. Work has been going on
through leasers for some time but
the latest is that the property will be
operated by a party who Is thorough
ly fami. .isr with the Stanley in all Its
ramifications. The three miles Of un-
derground workings and the 900 foot
shaft will be unwatered. The prop
erty is now managed by George s.
Wilkie as lessor and the work of
leasing is being done through him.
The property of the company Is on
line of the great producing belt that,
beginning in the eastern end OF
Clear Creek county, takes in such
excellent properties as the Sun and
Moon, the Gem Consolidated, the
Shafter, Big Five. Lamartine and
many other fine properties. The
general workings that will be carried
Ii at the Stanley under the proposed
conditions will mean much for this
camp and will prove an impetus for
other properties now Idle to join In
the onward march Of the mining pro-
cession. Already the tide Is turn
ing to the flood and the fact OF the
increased pay rolls Of the district
during the past month shows that
there are favorable winds and fuii
sails to urge on the barges Of min
ing commerce.

The information regarding the i'm
provements at the Blue Ribbon Min
eral Springs was met with much favor
and flattering comment. While the
article was to some extent complete
yet there are other improvements in
view that were not mentioned owing
to the fact that positive decision
had not been arrived at. The more
Of these accommodations that we have
the better 1t will be for all. People
who come here can then have their
choice and at the same time will
not have to go away on account of
one or the other being over.crowded.
While the mining interests Is primary,
in the waters that flow from the
earth there will be an important sec
ondAry interest which should not be
underestimated and which should re-
ceive all possible encouragement.

The very first question stranger

A matter of information to the pa
irons of the register letter depart
ment of the postoffice throughout
the country is here given. Hereto
fore the fee for registering letter
has been eight cents in addition to
the regular postage for carrying let

for this additional indemnity the sum

1t is safe to say that the man who
does the most kicking over public
improvements and does the most com
planning and fault finding is not al
ways the man who pays the most
taxes. 1t matters not to such man
how much the taxes of other people
may be If 1t improves his property
or adds to his conveniences and en-
hances the value of his holdings
but IL it adds few pennies to his
taxes, for the public welfare, there
goes up low gutteral groan pitched
to the highest key of waste of
money" There is no better place
to hear such kicks than around the
depot where good citizens have not
time to make contradictions and
where strangers absorb such gross
misrepresentation and spread them
abroad. And yet the kickers are de-
pendent exclusively on the citizen
ship for their business. 1t does not
require much brains to tear down.
1t requires good, strong and active
brains to build up.

Con. Callahan came up from his
ranch near Fort Morgan the first of
the week and will spend some time
here looking after his mining inter-
ests in the Daily district. He is
highly elated with the farming dis
trict in which he is located, and has
the assurance that eventually it will
become the garden spot of Colorado.
The entire territory is being put un-
der ditch which gives assurance of
perfect crops. and as fast as the land
Is protected by these bitches. the
value more than doubles. His prop
erty adjoins that of j. w. Thorp of
the Colorado restaurant, and even
without the aid of bitches and de-
pendent upon rainfall, both realty
holdings will give to the owners a
fine return for the investment.

The force Of men employed on the
Chicago lakes reservoir, to the num-
ber Of seventeen, went out on a
strike Tuesday morning, the reason
being the heavy snowfall of the night
before which was about fifteen inches
the workmen believing that winter
had set In in earnest. Persuasion Of
Foreman O'Rourke was of no avail,
and the men came to Idaho Springs
where they went into executive ses-
sion with John P. Owen. who soon
persuaded them that the most pro-
pitious time of the year was but ap-
preaching and that there was many
weeks Of nice weather ahead of
them. The argument proved alluring,
and before night the Chicago creek
trail was crowded with the returning
workmen who will now no doubt fin
ish the season on the work.
One OF the prominent characters
of early frontier days was recently
in the city. He was Benjamin Cleave
of Nebraska City, Neb., and who has
interest in the Gold King Mining
company near Alice. He is making
an inspection of the work. In the
early days of the Great American
Desert" when the mail was carried
overland across the then treeless
and desolate prairies, Mr.. Cleaves
was one of the Pony Express
Riders" Like all those who risked
their lives to carry the mail through
the Indian country, he had many
hairbreadth escapes and his exper-
fences would furnish very interest
ing history. 1t was the daring, hardi-
hood and self sacrificing of such
young Americans that opened up this
great agricultural section extending
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico
and from the Missouri to the West
ern Slope.
Through the courtesy of Manager
George F. Stephens, Of the Metro
politan Mining Company, it is learned
that work will be resumed in the tun-
mel and will be kept going until the
objective point is reached that of cut
ting below the shaft on the Spring
Gulch. side of the mountain. The
portal Of the Metropolitan is located
at the junction Of Clear Creek and
Trail Run which is well equipped
with machinery and buildings, all
Of which are kept in a neat and at.
tractive manner. The distance to be
driven to reach the rich streak on
which the shaft Is sunk will be- be.
tween $500 and 1000 feet. Mr.. Steph.
ems has been on an extensive trip
east and reports that business mat.
ters are growing better all the time
and looks for a prosperous future
It is pleasure to note that this work
will begin and still more 80 to know
that the means will be available to
complete It.
