MoNTRoSE LAND.

Inquiries have been made of the OBJ
server Of late regarding land in the
Montrose section, under the Gunni-
son tunnel, and the following letter
written to Congressman Rucker is
published to give the readers the in
formation sought. This comes from
the Interior department:
I'm answer to your inquiry you are
informed that the public lands with
in the Uncompahgre Valley project,
under act of June II, 1902 (32 Stat,
3SS,) which are to be eventually sup
piled with water from the Gunnison
river, by means of the Gunnison tun-
mel, are in the Montrose land dis
trict, Colorado, but they are now
under withdrawal from disposition.
when public notice is issued in
pursuance of section of the act, an
nouncing the time when water will
be furnished from the project, the
date and amount of payment for con-
struction, operation and maintenance
ChdISt anu OlHtI udld, II Will DS
given publicity through the public
press. Such of these lands as are not
already appropriated will then be sub.
ject to entry under the homestead
laws, subject also to the limitations
of the act mentioned. 1t will be prob
ably a year or more before the irri-
cation works on this project are com
pleted and then about 1900 acres will
be opened to entry.
''In this connection you are inform
ed that on December is, 1909. about
1000 acres of land in the Montrose
land district, formerly withdrawn for
the Grand Valley project, were restor
ed to the public domain, to be sub
ject to settlement on and after
March 81. and to entry under the
public land laws on and after April
20, 1910"

NOW DRIVING LATERALs.
Breast Of Newhouse Not Being Ex-
tended While Connection are Be-
Ing Made With Various Properties.

The force OF machine men and
muckers that was engaged in the
driving of the Newhouse tunnel until
the extension of the breast was sus-
pended shortly after the first Of the
year, has been working the past few
weeks on laterals that are being run
to the Roderick Dhu, Dyke and other
properties. The driving of these lat
erals at this time are of as much i'm
portance to the camp as the driving
Of the tunnel as the purpose of the
companies owning these mines is to
operate them as soon as connection
with the tunnel is made and the
workings drained.
More ore is coming out of the New
house than at any time since the
tunnel was driven. The Saratoga is
shipping car Of smelling ore a day
and the Sun and Moon is likewise a
regular shipper, saying nothing of the
Gem property which has been sending
its ore out the tunnel for months.
The quartz that is mined by these
properties is good stuff and is CIV
ing the operators a satisfactory pro-
fit.
The flow of water through the tun-
mel is about the same as it has been.
Quite volume is coming from the
Gardner and Roderick Dhu, which
veins join above the tunnel level.
When driving was suspended the
entire length of the tunnel was lit
tie more than 21,0OO feet. The
breast is on the far side of Nevada
gulch. 1t is not positively known
when the driving of the big bore will
be resumed. 1t all depends upon the
haste displayed by the owners on the
line of the tunnel in signing the
drainage contracts with the New
house company. These owners are be-
ing prevailed upon to sign up and it
is not thought that they will hold out
very long.

COMPLIMENTS THE PAPERS.

"The Gilpin Gold Belt" in its last
Issue paid high and pleasing COM
pliment to the local papers, which the
Observer finds pleasure in reproduc-
ing:
"A few days ago l mailed to every
shareholder q copy Of a Central City
paper, giving a complete account OF
the mining activities Of the district.
A careful reading Of 1t will throw
much light on the past production,
the present problems and the future
promise of the mines Of Gilpin coun-
ty. know no other place which can
offer SO much to the man who wants
to do real mining, as can this Oldest
section of Colorado. No little credit
is due, by the way, to the newspa.
pers of Gilpin county. which in sea.
son and out have striven to make
plain the mining opportunities to be
found here by those who believe in
commercial mining carried on In an
honest. legitimate way. That this
newspaper policy pays Is best evi.
denced by the exceptional prosperity
which is enjoyed BY these papers"

MRS. MALET DIES.

Mary F., wife of w. H. Malet, of
Black Hawk, passed away at st.
Luke's hospital in Denver Tuesday
evening. Less than three weeks ago
she contracted pneumonia. Mr.. Malet,
who was in Fraser, was telegraphed
and upon reaching home determined
to take his wife to Denver. The alti-
tude being lower there it was thought
that recovery would be more speedy.
Mrs. Malet rapidly overcome the at
tack of pneumonia and from all ap-
pearances was getting better. The
ailment, however, effected the heart
and there was then nothing that medi
cal science could do to save the
woman's life. The remains were
brought to Black Hawk last evening.
The funeral will be held Sunday
morning at 10:30 O'Clock, from the
Odd Fellows hall in Black Hawk.The
Rebekah lodge of that city, Of which
deceased was a member will have
charge of the services.
Mrs. Malet was 81 years Of age.
The family has resided in this city
and Black Hawk fifteen years and
the sorrow caused by the death of
the good and devoted wife and
mother is shared by hosts Of friends
in both places. The husband and
three children in their hour Of be-
reavement have the sympathy Of all.

1.-THE GILPIN GOLD BELT"

"The Gilpin Gold Belt" is month
ly publication issued in Denver and
distributed among the stockholders Of
the Gilpin-Eureka Mining company,
operating the Eureka and contiguous
properties in this county. The paper
is abundantly filled with information
pertaining to the company's proper
ties and keeps those who have invest
ed their money into one of the best
propositions in the camp reliably in
formed as to strikes, development
and all happenings in general that
transpire on the surface and in the
workings at the Eureka mine. ]. N.
Caldwell is editor of this purveyor of
ews and no mistake was made when
he was selected to impart knowledge
to those concerned as to the Eureka
operations. From what is apparent to
those residing in Gilpin county and
to those who are in a position to
know what is going on at the various
properties hereabouts, Mr.. Caldwell
is sincere in his writings and his
statements in "The Gilpin Gold Belt"
are clothed in truthfulness. He is con-
servative in what he has to say about
the work under way at the property.
He doesn't exaggerate, nor does he
exceed the bounds Of reason in dwell
ing upon the outlook of the Eureka
mine. Mr.. Caldwell merely states that
which can find ready endorsement in
this section. Referring again to the
publication itself, the paper must be
benefit to the Eureka investors
and demonstrates that everything in
connection with the proposition is
open and that the company has no
desire to conceal information which
those interested should know
