SHERMAN TUNNEL.

a good strike was made in the Sher-
man tunnel on Silver creek this week.
At the 1850 foot mark a four-fo vein
of unusually fine quartz highly mineral
lied was encountered. This vein has
been tested on surface and gave re-
turns of $50 to $50. The tunnel cuts
the vein at about 500 feet depth and
has been the objective point for which
the tunnel has been driven.
This property consists of ten patent
ed claims and is owned by the Sher-
man & Macon NJ. & NJ. Co. of Macon,
Mo. The stockholders are all men OF
wealth; the treasurer a millionaire,
agreed to build a mill out of his own
funds and give 1t to the company as
soon as the above vein was reached.
This is the third vein that has been
cut by the Sherman tunnel within the
last 1S5 feet. The last two are only 80
feet apart. 1t is the companys in
tentions to install a plant of ma
chinery and develop their property with
power drills.
The president and several of the
stockholders will be out to look over their
holdings the first of March. Word has
been received to push work both north
and south on the vein from the tunnel.

Mr.. Moulton has been working the Con-
crete on lease since June, not for
production, but principally for the pur-
pose of examination. The examination
convinced him that it was a good pro-
position and the purchase resulted.
1t Is the object of Mr.. Moulton to con-
tinue the work but on a more extern

at once instead OF waiting for the New

the mine is located. The mine is 1850
feet deep and 200 feet of water will
have to be pulled.
Work under the lease has been car

The lessees have Indications OF good

BILLS HELD IN SENATE.

1t would appear from the following
printed in the Times of yesterday that
the bills to amend the charters of Cen
tral and Black Hawk will meet with
some opposition In tine senate. The bills
have passed third reading In the
house. going through that body with
very little delay. Why the opposition
in the senate is not known unless 1t is
that one or two Republican politicians
in Central and Black Hawk have sue
ceeded in having the amendments laid
over so that they will not be disposed
of in time to eliminate the spring cleo
ton. 1t requires a two-thirds vote of
the senate in order that the emergency
clause may be attached to the bills
and the Democrats haven't got the
two-thirds Republican senator's oppo-
sition arises through a feeling of po-
litical jealousy. They don't like to see
the Democratic administration in Gem
tral continue in power and they not
given a chance through an election to
wrest the administration from them.
With the Democrats in control of the
city offices 1t is not through any sell
fish ambitions that they are trying to
have the charter amended. II is wholly
move in the direction of economy. If
an election is held in April there is
no doubt but that the Democrats will
be continued in office as the citizens
are well satisfied with the methods en-
ployed in the conduct of the city's af-
fairs. The Times article follows:
Though the mayor and aldermen of
Central City and Black Hawk serve with
out compensation, members OF the sem
ate are opposed to extending their terms
another year
when Judge Hicks hills to amend
the charters Of those towns so that the
municipal elections shall be biennial
instead of annual came up in the SEN
ate this morning several senators OBJ
jected to the emergency clause in each
bill. If this clause were adopted neither
town would have an election this year
and the incumbents would hold over
until next year.
Finally both bills. which are on third
reading. We're laid over for the day"

WHEN ROOSEVELT GETS TO AFRICA

Your luggage collected, you 20 by
train from Mombasa to Nairobi, 327
miles up the line. From here, the real
start into the interior nowadays usually
Is made. You will have previously secured
you hunters license, costing $3.50, with
cut which no one is permitted to hunt
what is known as Royal Game. The
elephant. hippopotamus. buffalo. rhino-
ceros. Gland. giraffe, zebra, impalla and
ostrich come under this head: and even
with a license only a limited number
may lie killed.
For the first twenty-five or thirty mile
a stern and wary eye must be kept
upon the native porters. Inevitably
there will be desertions, so that some
times an expedition is seriously depict
ed. There are willy ones who make 4
practice of enlisting with one outfit TO
obtain the one months wages tnat must
invariably be paid in advance, and slip
ping back to the coast at the first op-
portunity. to repeat their tactics else
where. Thirty porters to each wnite
in the party is the usual number en-
ployed. and sixty pounds per man Is
the regulation load. which must not be
exceeded: but where forced marches are
contemplated for any reason, it is far
better to reduce the load TO ffty or
fifty-five pounds, and take along more
men.
But though so large a number of men
is required. the cost, after all. is not
SO staggering as you may think. The
pay for porters, under ordinary con-
ditions, ranges from $3.50 to $3.50 q
month, with an extra allowance OF
from 81 to 81 for food Gun bearers
