RICH ORE TAKEN OUT
At BLACK WARRIOR
81. Lawrence Mine Ncnr ELY Has Con.
siderable Ore Dcvclopcd. says
President Williams.

Frank G. Williams, president ana
manager Of the st. Lawrence Mining
company came in from Salt Lake last
especially with regard to the completion
of the annual assessment work on the
property which Is located on Mount
Washington in this county. The COM
pany has done u large amount of de-
velopment work, but none recently,
though there has been some expectation
that new capital could be Interested IN
the proposition for the purpose Of de-
velppnG IL still further and building u
concentrating mill and aerial tramway
to handle the ore. This Will probably
be done when financial conditions inn
prove and Will result in the making OF
another important producer In the coun-
ty. The ore Is high grade lcad-silvcr
with considerable sized bodies of con-
ccntrating ore that can be easily re-
duced in bulk and made profitable
shipping grade. says the Ely ENpositof.
At present Mr. williams and associ-
ates are operating Il lease on the Black
Warrior near Tecoma and about SIX
miles from the line of the Southern Pa
ciiic where he has driven a tunnel un-
der the old workings from which a mil
lion dollars worth of silver ore was ex-
tracted by the former owner. Four
sacks OF ore taken from the old work
ings were sent to Salt Lake which
brought $500 or at the rate Of $2lOo a
ton and it is this grade of ore the
leasers hope to find when they make
connections and get the ore body opened
up again.
They are also running q long tunnel
near Tecona under contract for the
Salt Lake Copper Mountain company
which has been shipping an average of
$50 tons of copper and iron ore during
the past year.
Mr.. Williams finds he will not have
to go to the St Lawrence mines and
will return to Salt Lake in n day or
two.

Drains Great District IN Clear Creek

The great Newhouse tunnel which has
just been completed marks one of the
first important drainage and transpor-
tation, tunnel enterprises undertaken in
Colorado. The tunnel Is 2l,96S feet in
length. From the portal at Idaho
Springs in Crcal Creek county. 1t ex-
tends northward under many of the
principal mines of the oldest mining
districts in the state. to a terminal
point in the Gunncll mine at Central
City in Gilpin county.
From veins cut by the tunnel at
depths ranging from 1900 to 1880 feet,
the production of precious metals has
been in progress for more than half Il
century. In many instances the opera
ton Of tho mines finally became un-
profitable on account of the expense
involved in pumping water from the
shafts. Ky connecting the lower work
inEs Of the mines with the tunnel, this
expense can be eliminated. and the
available ground for profitable ore pro-
duction in Gilpin county practically
doubled. Although tho fun benefits Of
tho tunnel Will not become apparent un-
til the principal connections have all
been made. Il steady gain in the pros
duction of the mines affected may be
expected.

COMMENT ON RUMoRs.
Probable Reduction of Dividend Rate
Arouscs Interest.

ArOuScS Interest.
The last weekly News Bulletin of
Thompson. Towlc & Co., of New York,
has the following statement of local
interest:
Rumors have been current for some
time past that the directors of the Den
Yer & Rio Grande r. r. would reduce
the dividend rate at the meeting held
this week. but upon what this reason-
ing was based is difficult to perceive.
Earnings Of the road do not show
that there is any pressing necessity for
reducing the dividend at this time. In
the fiscal year ended June last, gross
earnings increased approximately 81
100000 over the 1909 fiscal year. Net
earnings increased S1,251 ,000 or over 20
per cent. while the surplus applicable TO
dividends amounted to s4,O4l, Oo0 an in
crease over the 1909 year of sl104,000. or
81 per cent. RI we may include uncol-
lectcd accrued interest on the Western
Facifics second mortgage bonds held
by the Denver &; Rio Grande, which the
company charged in its "incomc ac-
count" dividends were earned with a
surplus of s1,152,0O to spare. Since the
close of the 1909 fiscal year. Denvers
earnings have shown 4 material de-
crease from year ago. and 1t is prob
able that If surplus earnings should
continue to show the same rate of de-
crease for the remainder Of the year,
the directors will be forced to reduce
the dividend rate.
For the three months to Sept. 80 last,
the roads gross earnings have shown
n small increase. but surplus earnings
decreased 1922 900 or nearly IA per cent.
In stabulated form they compare with
previous years as follows:
