Mr.. II. E. Machol and associates are
feeling pretty good over the mining con-
ditions prevailing in their lease on the
Seaton mine and operated in the New
house tunnel. They have been working
perseveringly for some time and it no W
seems as il their labors are to meet with
suitable reward. In the breast Of the
lateral they have run into a fine body
of silver and gold bearing galena ore
that has been as wide as fourteen inches
and as low as four inches. Its assay
value runs on an average Of SSO The old
workings were worked to depth OF about
800 feet and produced over three quar-
ters OF million dollars. The present lat
eral is being driven at depth OF 1900
feet and it is believed that the leasers
have encountered the same ore shoots
and that they are about TO uncover ore
bodies of great size. For over half cen
tury this mine has been one Of the relia-
BILE producers of this camp and everyone
will be pleased that its old pristine rep
utation is about to be realized and con
graduates the present leasers on their
prospective good luck.
Under the efficient management Of
Manager Nye, the Rockford tunnel and
its branches are making most com
mendable record. In the Donaldson and
Magalona laterals, especially, the work
is progressing in most satisfactory
manner. Heretofore the values Of the
Donaldson have been confined princi-
pally to the west half of the claim, but
the Rockford has cut it near the east
end and the values are now forthcoming
from this part of the claim, With splen-
did management, backed up by the en-
terprise OF Herb Riedel and his compan-
ions, the lexicon OF mining contains no
such word as fail. They have the ore,
they have the fine local management
and they have the reliable business
management. With these three agencies
success is assured and the stock holders
may feel sure that they are not only
going to have a good run for their mon
ey, but that the race is going to be pre-
eminently successful. The property is
in no untried section, but in one that
has produced its millions and still there
are millions to be taken out, and this
company is in a position to take it out
when the proper development which is
now going on is completed.

In the suit for damages brought by
John Rohner against John Lang, the
jury awarded damages to the plaintiff in
the sum of 5000. The amount sued
for was 5000. Mr.. Lang had lease
on the entire property of the Lamartine
and Mr.. Rhoner had q sub-lease on a
block Of ground $50 feet in length and
running down from the tenth to the
twelfth level. The claim for damages
was based on the grounds that water was
allowed to fill up the workings Of the
sub lease SO that the lessor could not
take out the ore. 1t is estimated that
between the eleventh and twelfth levels
aud within the length of this sub-lease
there is ore to be taken out that approx
imates s25.OOO in value. The case was
tried in Georgetown this week before
Judge Mccall and jury.

Second Number a Success.

The concert given by the Central
Grand Concert company last Monday
night was complete success and those
taking part therein maintained the ex-
cellent reputation that has been award
ed them. The program. rs given below,
was carried out and each number was
accompanied by an encore, as a result
Of hearty and continuous applause. The
regular instrumental numbers we're of q
high classical nature and to those whose
ears are attuned to appreciate such,
there could be no disappointment and
yet when some beautiful melody like
the Last Rose of Summer" or similar
familiar pieces were played it caught
the audience in its entirety. The execu-
tons on the violin, violonceilo, and piano
showed wonderful and careful training
and practice, while the range Of vocal
expression on the part of Mrs. Pearl
Meyer was equally wonderful and
recherche. Those getting up this lyce-
um course are entitled to special credit
for securing such talent for all the en-
tertainments. The performers were in
troduced by Rev. Edward Burns Martin
in very happy and well chosen strain.

Generous Donations.

Idaho Springs has a manual training
building of which any city Of even more
pretentions might justly feel proud
This building was made possible
through the magnanimity and liberality
of Mrs. Henry Plummer who donated
the means for its construction. Itwas q
gift that should be highly priced by our
people and its equipments should be Of
the most practical and efficient nature.
A little over two years ago, the city su-
,erintendent made preliminary efforts
towards raising $1,000. to furnish the
several training departments. Mr.. F. E.
Himrod agreed to donate $500 for this
purpose, providing our people would
raise the additional $500. Mr.. Laie
Hanchett at once contributed 800 OF
the latter amount. This money was
turned over to W. L. Bush, to be used
when the other condition was compli ID
with. During the recent visit Of Messrs.
Himrod and Hanchett, they waived the
condition and directed that the money
be used as far as it would go toward
these equipments. In &C cordance there
with, Messrs. Bush, Hanchett and S. A.
Knowles went to Denver last week and
purchased lathes, forges, anvils and
tools for the iron working department
to the amount Of $500. These were re-
ceived this week and are now in place
in the building. The balance Of the
donation, over 800, will be expended in
further equipments for the domestic
science department. With such addi-
tions the manual training school will be
placed on a more extended and efficient
basis. The donors OF this valuable work
are doing a favor for the present as well
as future pupils Of our schools, the far
reaching and beneficial results Of which
cannot be conjectured The training Of
the hand and eye should accompany ed
ucational development. An evenly bal
anced training means moral, physical,
educational and industrial development
and the completed pupil in our schools
is the harmonious blending Of these
united and equally important agen-
cies. The age is growing more practical
and without any sacrifice Of mental
studies, ,-oaf- --Puyils- should -hAEa- .eysEY
advantage for practical development
along the line Of industrial training.
