High Water Mark Reached

LAKEPORT. Jan. 15.-High water
mark for this section of the country
has been reached since the beginning
of the storm three days ago, and all
streams are over their banks At Up
per Lake the water is from two to three
feet deep all over the town, but has
only entered one house. The damage
ever.
The Pieta stage has been unable to
make its way to the railroad for two
days, owing to the high water run
ming in the Russian river; and the
Lakeport stage managed to reach town
today bringing yesterdays mail and
papers.
Clear lake, above here, is rising
very rapidly, and is four feet higher
than 1T was three days ago.

TaIesman Pleads Privilege

There was an interruption in the
proceedings early in the day, when a
talesman who failed to respond Tues
day to the summons issued for his at
tendance was brought into court un-
der a bench warrant. He was called
into the judicial presence, sworn to
answer truthfully the questions put to
him and asked to explain his delin-
ouency. He admitted the receipt of
the original summons and stammered
out that his failure to respond had
been due to a mistaken idea of per
sonal privilege"
Having been an officer of the law
once myself deputy constable" the
culprit essayed, Il found out. or thought
I did, that nobody ever came under a
summons unless they got personal serv-
ice on him, and they didn't get it on me,
but on my WIFE
Judge Lawlor quietly delivered a
brief but pointed lesson in elementary
law and the juror hastened to respond
that he had changed his mind about
the value of q summons. He was let
of with a reprimand and was not held
in court, as he furnished an excuse for
escape from service based on a statu-
tory right
David p Cameron. the talesman who
followed Baskette on the stand, pro-
claimed himself an idol worshiper. He
was possessed of an unbounded admira-
tion for Calhoun because Of his victory
over the carmen's union and he did not
hesitate to say so.
Il think he did something that no.
body else ever did" Cameron declared.
He was the only gentleman on earth
who could have whipped the unwhipped

NEW ENTERPRISE.

The Denver Mining & Reduction
company started the installation of
equipment in their mill lately erect
ed in the vicinity of the Rocky Noun
tain concentrator, having secured a
ten-year lease on the same. The mill
fices, coal and boiler sheds in addi-
ton. The equipment consists of 10
horse power heating boiler, 25-horse
power and 1O-horse power engine;
tanks, four Whitley and six Horn
tables, and expect to begin operations
by February 10th.
Thus another new enterprise will
be added to the list. The company
backing the enterprise is incorporat-
ed with a capital stock of 100000.
H. G.. Horn, treasurer, and H. NJ Gill
bert, secretary, of the Horn Rotary
Slime Concentrator company, were in
town Tuesday. Extended experiments
confirm them in this move and are
confident the mill will make satisfac-
plant. Success is assured for the
Horn tables can be run behind the
regular Gilpin county bumpers and
catch the values lost by the bumpers.
The Horn machine is recognized as
indispensable in the equipment of a
mill treating milling ores, there is a
good demand for them at the present
time. Under the most exacting tests
they have proven to be a very su-
which they are designed. 1t is claim
ed they will save from IS to So per

Mr.. Meyers is experimenting the
changes and hopes to blow-in by
March at the earliest. In addition to
the monster blast furnaces new
reverberatory centering furnace is
to be installed. The old furnace will
be improved, and a new iron base ds
to replace the one of brick. Although
equipped with 250-horse power Cor

new 6O,000-gallon steel tank, to re-
place the old wooden affair, and
numerous other improvements, includ-
ing those of the sampler and hand
ling of ore. The capacity will be in
the neighborhood of 500 tons per day.
The other concern was handicapped
in it's inability to secure the ore.
the new enterprise will treat the pro-
duct from its own mines, thus keep

THE AZTEC MINES COMPANY.

About four years ago this company
took over the o. K. mine, during
which time the mine has been in con.
tinuous operation and is one of the
camps steady producers. Its present
output is from 20 to % tons per day,
mostly OF fair mill-grade of ore,
which is coming from the 200 and
600 levels.
The main working shaft has reach
ed a depth of 635 feet and it is the
intention of the company to sink
another one hundred feet commencin.
Immediately after the first of the
coming year.
The company has under order a
ten-drill Ingersoll-Rand compressor to
be driven by a 75-horse power West
inghouse motor, which is now due for
delivery and which will give the
property a very complete top equip
ment. With this additional equipment
the company will be enabled to over
take a very considerable amount of
development work which it contem-
plates pushing as rapidly as possible
with view to largely increasing the
output.
Mr.. Henry R. Eilmann is in charge.
This is very conservative review
of the property for it is destined to
rank among the big ones ere long.
Mr.. Hastings is very modest gentle
man, when it concerns his property.
The public would have been glad to
learn more regarding this very valu-
able mine.

BUELL. TO RESUME.
Mill Will Be Electrified and Improv.
ed Generally.

The u. P. R. Milling and Mines
company will in a short time COM
mence to electrify it's mill, (the
BuelD and put in a number of labor
saving devises. 1t will also commence
to unwater the mine and then drive
cross-cuts and make upraises to
bodies of ore which are known to
exist in properties of the combina-
ton which has recently been made.
The consolidation of these properties
is thing that has long been desired,
and it is now in shape for large oper-
tions.
Formerly the different properties
were operated as a segregation Of
claims and under different manage
ments at a large cost, their produc-
tion above the 5O0-foot level has been
about 100000 and was worked at
large profit until the water level was
reached and pumping became neces-
sary. This of course necessitated
pumping at the various shafts and
entailed a large expense. This will
now be reduced to a minimum of
cost as the water and ore will be
raised through one main shaft and
perfect ventilation will also be fur
nished for all the property of the
combination.

THE NATIONAL TUNNEL
AND CLAY COUNTY

The New National Tunnel company
has run several drifts, upraises and
other work of a development nature
and will continue improvements until
well under Lake gulch. The opening
is near the New York mill. A drift
is now being driven to catch the
Clay County vein upon which mine
the company has an option. While
driving on the vein they opened up
good ore running from $50 to $50.
The tunnel Is now in $500 feet. At
a point 5000 feet in an ore-bearing
vein was struck and they now have
300 feet of pay dirt, Of an excellent
grade. They are also working in an
upraise on an ore body so feet in ex-
tent The general manager of the
company is G. w. Adams.
The Clay County mine. which the
National Tunnel company hope to
make a paying proposition by driv-
ing this tunnel, Is handicapped in
that it is troubled by foul air. The
shaft cannot be worked in conse-
quence. The completion Of the tun-
mel will make the mine an extensive
producer, ventilating the mine and
provide a source of outlet for the
ore

THE PlTTsBURG.

Another mine with fine record is
the Pittsburg in the Russell district.
1t is being worked by the Cashier G.
NJ. & R. Co., and two sets Of lessees
and every three months they are
handing out profits in the way of
dividends, which has been a regular
feature for three years and the pros
poets are that this will be kept up
for long time. The ore runs from
$50 to 5000 and $400 per ton. Some
of the ore mined by the lessees has
been settled for at the rate of 26
ounces gold, silver and copper. The
three classes and runs, first-class,
5000 per ton; second-class, 500 per
ton; and third-class from $50 to $40.
The Pittsburg shaft is down S34 feet,
and twenty-five men are on days pay.
The name Pittsburg, when applied to
a mine seems to spell success. 1t is
considered one of the high-grade
properties and like most propositions
of the class are generally reticent
concerning the output. However,
enough is learned from the state
ment about dividends to form a
pretty just estimate Of the very
high value of the property. William
Anger is superintendent, and, Judging
from the reputation which the mine
enjoys, he must have had consider
able to do with bringing about this
gratifying result.

The Chicago-Cleveland Company
have been working the Perrin for the
past eight months. This mine is near
the Topeka, and shaft has been
sunk eighty feet and drift run in
about forty feet in the west end OF
the property. They will put in a plant
Of machinery and deepen the shaft
which is now down 24O feet. A good
streak Of ore has been encountered
and an extensive pocket taken out.
The present workings are producing
ore that runs from $40 to $3.50. A
high-grade streak was encountered,
and other favorable ore mined In
good size punches.
