NEW TERRITORY.

President Earring and his party re-
turned last night from their tour or
the Big Biackfoot country During
the time that elapsed between their
departure and their return. these gen
tiemen traversca the greater part Of the
route which has been selected for tlta
proposed northern branch Of the Mill
waukce. 1t is hoped and believed here
that the inspection must have con-
WINGED these explorers of the desira-
bilits of securing this territory as their
own. The coal. timber and farm pro-
duce that will be brought To the Mil
waukec by the construction Of the pro
posed line will be an imposing total
Of traffic. And the country has but
started in its development. What there
Is in sight now viii be Increased many
fold by the construction OF the road
that has been surveyed: the country up
the Rlackfoot and beyond Ii inestl-
mabiy rich in its natural resources.
1t is hoped that MIR. Esrling will soon
tell Us that he agrees With rs that the
Blackfoot route is Il desirable line for
his road TO control. and that II viii be
built before long.

School Purposes.

When Montana was admitted to
statehood the enabling act or contract
provided that sections IL and Is in
each township should accrue to the
state for school purposes. Some years
later. with the creation Of national
forests. the forestry officials have in
variably denied the ownership where
such sections were included within
the reserves. This issue has in
creased In case after case. until II is
estimated that perhaps l,000.000 acres
are now involved. As stated. the
Bolton tract was sold to the railroad
company Mt public auction. and the
forestry officials after warning all
wnuldbe purchasers that the states
title was not recognized, proceeded To
fence ii and designated the tract as
an administrative segregation. I'm

permitted tu enter thereon and begin

A VERY POPULAR HOTEL.

Few hotels enjoy the reputation and
distinction of being called "home like, u
yet that is exactly the reputation the
Hotel Adams in Denver enjoys, and on
that account its popularity among the
travelling public is increasing every day.
Out of town guests find the Hotel Adams
a refined, home like place to stop, where
luxury and the most modern accommo-
dations can be found. During the year
the Hotel Adams has spent great deal
of money in new improvements, yet, de-
spite this fact, the rates have not b ser,
changed. Another reason for the Hotel
Adams increasing popularity is its cen
tral location, situated where the dust
and noise is reduced to minimum, yet
convenient to the shopping district, play
houses and banks.

Silver Horn a Mint of Money.

The company of four persons who
have the lease and bond on the Silver
Horn group Of claims up Ute creek.
have unwatered the 200 foot shaft and
have been drifting in both the 100 and
200 foot levels The former lateral is
now in distance of about 160 feet and
there are streaks of rich ore in it from
one to two inches in width that give
rich assays. One assay that was thought
to be only of sufficient value to be class
ed with the ordinary grade of ores, ran
$50 ounces in gold and 426 ounces in
silver, or over 1890 90 per ton. In the
lower lateral there is also good showing
OF rich ore. Both of these levels aro be-
ing pushed toward the known ore shoots
ahead that were opened up by the tun-
mel from which the shaft was sunk and
from which several thousand dollars
worth of ore WAS taken at very little
depth from the surface. In these work
ings there was ore that ran as high as
81 ounces in gold, the lowest being
ounces, while the silver values ranged
from 273 to 14l2 ounces per ton. In this
office there are specimens Of ore taken
from the streaks that run from ! to $50
ounces in gold and from 35S to 525
ounces in silver per ton.
In addition to these very rich streaks
| there is vein of concentrating ore the
blowout of which on the surface meas
ures 30 feet. In the tunnel this has
been cnt across distance of IS feet and
and it is well mineralized. 1t is at least
80 feet wide where the crosscut is partly
made, as the quartz formation seems to
widen as it goes down. Assays taken
from this vein run from $500 to $1,000
per ton. Ute creek runs directly in
front of the portal of the tunnel, having
enough water the year round to supply
the tables, plates and jigs of a fair sized
mill, while the lines of the United Hydro
Electric company run within a quarter
of mile of the portal, thus insuring a
constant supply of power for such mill.
The claims have all the timber growing
on them tia will suffice for stulls, mill
timber5 and tagging throughout the life
| time of the mine and then plenty to
spare. Mr.. l.. Mclean has owned these
claims for years and has constantly de-
velopad them. The property is equipped
with large and commodious shaft house
and other buildings. A first class lot of
machinery Is also installed. 1t is an
ideal mining property.

the couple came to the mountains there
were no trans continental lines of rail

building through the then arid portion
of Nebraska. The mode of travel across
the prairies was by OK teams. and in this

Railroads and Idaho Springs.

The officials of ths Argentine Central
Railway company, the Gray's Peak
Route, are planning to carry out the ex-
tensive improvements that have been
heretofore published in this paper. The
road will be extended to the summit OF
Gray's Peak, distance from the present
terminus OF two and one hLlf miles. Its
terminal point will then be 4,34l feet
above sea level and over 1000 feet above
timber line. At an altitude of nearly
three miles and at the very crest of the
continent, on the continental divide will
BE erected large hotel, with all the
modern conveniences for tourists. In
addition to this there will be built a
large observatory, equipped with power
full telescopes. Trains will be run in
such manner as to allow visitors to
make daylight trip from Denver and
return, or SO that they can go up in the
evening, spend the night there and re-
turn to Denver in the morning. The

all these improvs ments and it is expect
ed the entire work will be completed by
the first of August. In the mean time
tourists will have one Of the most attrac.
tive and easy rides from Denver to the
summit of Mount Mcclellan and tho ice
palace that can be found anywhere.
Every season the question comes up,
why cannot the train that goes to Sill
yer Plume and remains there two or
three hours be changed so as to return
to Idaho Springs to spend the greater
part of the time here" There seems no
good reason why such an arrangement
cannot be made. If action is taken it
should be done before the tourist rates
go nto effect. II the business and min
ing men and other classes will unite and
send large committee down to wait on
the officials and advocate the proposition
with unabated persistency, the writer
has faith to believe that the officials will
not turn a deaf ear to the proposition.

tion paid the visitors while here, in the

not wish to make the entire trip. We
should have such here.
