immense gathering, if the weather be
favorable. 1t is understood that the
entire population of the district will
foregather there, and that people are
coming from places all around the is
land as far as Hilo on one side and
Kau on the other. Everything, of
course, depends upon the weather. The
sky at present is overcast and-how-
ever reluctantly-it must be admitted
that the indications are of rain and
possibly very bad weather in the near
future.

On Board the Excursion Steamer
Mauna Kea, off LahaIna, Tuesday
Night, June %.
Probably not in years has big ex'
cursion party out of Honolulu been
favored with better sailing weather
than the one now aboard the Mauna
Kea off the ancient capital of the
Hawaiian islands-Lahaina. The nine
ty miles from Honolulu have been
traversed over a sea as smooth as a
big lake. There has been no wind TO
speak of, and the heavens being over
cast by thin sheet of clouds the
merry voyagers were spared even the
usual dazzling warm rays of the sun.
The steamer is full but not crowded.
The weather being so fine, Purser Phil
lips had dozens of mattresses brought
upon the decks and these nave proved
even more inviting than the cozy state
rooms to the excursionists.
The Mauna Kea will arrive at Ka-
waihae about 1 o'clock tomorrow
"wednesday morning, leaving part
of the Hamakua Ditch party there, and
will reach Hilo about o'clock the
same morning, where the balance oi

o'clock this morning ended his life in
his room on board the ship, 80 cali

returned to the ship sober. Rau, this
morning, was talking to some of his
shipmates, who were shocked when
they discovered his body a few mi
nutes afterwards.
Very little was known of Rau by
his shipmates as he had only been
aboard the Columbian two trips.
A letter addressed to the engine
room storekeeper with instructions
about a debt and the statement tha'
he was tired of life was all that was
found to give any light as to the cause
of suicide.
| Rau was a native of Bohemia, Aus

a resident of Karlsbad. Rau In
his letter asked that a picture taken
in the wheel house be sent on ia

NO OILERS ON THE ALPS.

The force on the Alps, who started
last week to clean up the debris from
the fire, are pushing the work with
vigor. The foundation for the shaft
house have been placed and is ready
for the structure. The shaft building
on the Avon has been torn down and
the lumber removed to the Alps,
where it will be used. Tuesday May
the big engine from the Kent-Coun-
ty to the Alps. While the wagon upon
which the engine was setting was be-
ing placed in position for unloading
one of the horses fell into a prospect
hole and the choicest terms that Jim
Williams and John Cannon could use
would not cause the animal to make
an effort to get out of the hole. The
horse just lay there contentedly and
ate the limbs from a quaken-asp. A
block and tackle were called into use
before the horse was cotton out of
the hole.
An Observer reporter visited the
Alps Tuesday and examined the
wreckage. The boiler was only slight
ly damage and the smoke stack
still stands. The shaft was burned
very little and that has been re-cribb-
ed. The way the men are working
two or three weeks ought to see the
resumption Of work on the Alps. 1t
is estimated that it will require an
outlay OF $4,000 to rebuild and re-
equip the shaft building.

IRooUoIs AN EARLY SHIPPER.

DIR. G.. w. Poole, of Danville, ILL.,,
president of the Iroquois Mining com
pany, which has been carrying on
development at their property the
past 18 months, was in the city for
few days the latter part OF the
week. Geo. G. Rowland, mining en-
gineer, residing at Danville, accom-
panied the doctor. The purpose of
Mr.. Rowland's visit was to make an
inspection of the property, presum-
ably for a report to the stockholders.
He was seen by a representative of
the Observer after his visit to the
Iroquois and asked as to the outlook
Of the mine, expressed himself as
very well pleased. He talked in a
most favorable trend and from his
remarks the inference was drawn
that the Iroquois can be expected to
produce dividends ere long.
The Iroquois people have operated
with as much persistency during the
past year and half as any company
in the county. They seemed to start
out with the right idea in mining
that Is, to do the necessary develop
ment before expecting profits. They
have about completed the develop
ment-the most expensive feature of
mining-and are now in a position
to expect reimbursement of the mon
ey they have advanced together
with the profit to which they are en-
titled.
During the period of development
the shaft has been sunk 200 feet and
/ 900 feet of drifts have been run.
Quite a body of ore is now opened
up in the 220-foot east level. There
is between so and 100 tons of this
on the plats ready for shipment.
This is good looking stuff and is ex-
pected to run well.

BIG PITTssuRG STRIKE.

The phenomenal strike made in the
Plttsburg, the property of the Cash
ler G. M. & r. company has been
the talk of the county the past week.
The body was encountered in the 800
foot level and assays of the richest
| OF the grey copper went 130.40 ounces
gold, 1850 ounces silver and 4.SO per
cent copper. The total value of this
ore is $2,616.S0 per ton. All the as
| says taken showed high values. The
other two Of the grey copper went
$3.50 ounces gold, 80 ounces silver
and 1910 per cent copper; $3.50
ounces gold 1920 ounces silver, 1910
per cent copper. The yellow copper
also shows rich values. This assayed
14.9O ounces gold, 1910 ounces silver
and 4.S0 per cent copper.
REEVE & Co., who have a lease on
some ground in the Pittsburg are in
very good ore. Their ore assays, the
first-calss, i3 ounces gold and the
second-class 7.SS ounces gold.
The frequent good strikes in the
Pittsburg not only occasion Joy
among the stockholders of the com
pany operating the mine, but is a
source of pleasure to those operating
in the vicinity of the Pittsburg. These
finds tend to encourage those mining
near the Pittsburg as they think that
one of the richest sections in the
county and feel that they too will
open into something rich when they
have attained more depth.
The Pittsburg has been a steady
dividend payer for years and with the
opening up of new bodies it would
seem that profits will continue in
definitely. VIM. A. Anger, superinten-
dent, to whom great credit is due for
the excellent showing of the Pitts
burg, is quite elated over the new
find.

THE NORTHERN SECTION.

]. A. McCracken, of Tolland, was
a business visitor to this city Mon
day, returning Tuesday. Mr.. McCrack-
en- stated that the northern section
of the county was receiving very lit
tie attention. and that in short
time would have to be reckoned with
in the future of the camp. Mr.. Nc
Cracken is heavily interested in min
ing and placer claims in that section.
and at present has two companies
operating some of his holdings. AS
says Of ore taken from some OF his
claims show values of from $50 to
5000 per ton in gold. and in the past
year 1t is common sight to see
prospectors at work on the unexplor-
ed hills in and around Tolland. Deep
mining is receiving the attention OF
the operators in that section and is
being pursued by means OF tunneling
from the foothills. Our readers will
hear more regarding this new section

SENATOR SHIPS REGULARLY.

Two lots of smelling ore have been
sent from the Senator mine the past
week. Returns have been received
from one lot and this ore shows the
average to be holding up well. In the
lot from which the returns We're re-
ceived there were 16,040 pounds. This
was from the third west level and
settlement was made of lis ounces
gold, 12.6S ounces silver and 7.20 in
lead, to the ton. This made the value
to the ton average $4,000. The other
lot is from the same level but a
point further west and the ore is ex-
pected to run better than the $4,000
stuff. Shipments from the Senator
are becoming more regular as the ore
bodies are opening up.

BRIGHT FOR OLD GILPIN.

General Frank Hall, the mining au-
thority of the Denver Post, has a
warm spot in his heart for old Gil
pin county and never lets an oppor-
tunity slip to give this district the
attention it deserves. Mr.. Hall is very
optimistic over the promising outlook
of the county and in recent issues
of the Post has devoted much space
to the mines and their development.
In last nights issue of the Post, Mr..
Hall said in part:
Late arrivals of the mining frater-
nifty from Gilpin county, while not ex-
actly crazy over the prospects, give
much encouraging news. Every one
realizes that the cold weather since
the first of December, accompanied
by frequent storms, has impeded all
kinds of work. But as the winters
in that country are seldom as long
or severe as in the higher ranges,
the miners manage to break and ship
good deal of mineral and run their
mills most of the time. One of the re-
markable features of recent exploita-
tion is the expressly high values OBJ
tanned from shipments of first-grade
mineral. They are not equaled in any
part of the state, save Cripple Creek.
"And these are not widely separ-
ated occurrences. The discovery of
material that runs from two to three
ounces gold up to the fifty and six
ty ounces is part of the current his
tory of mining. While the average
grade is quite as valuable as the gen.
eral run of output of Cripple
Creek.
The early approach of spring is
stimulating enterprise in all parts of
the county. The outlook is the bright
est that has been known for years,
because some big combinations head
ed by vigorous mining men, supported
by capital, insure new era of pro-
duction"

eILPIN-HURRIcANE COMPANY.

An inquiry regarding the Hurricane
Mining company from a party in
Williamsburg, Va, appeared in the
query department Of Sundays Den
yer News. The Gilpin-H Hurricane Gold
Mining company was Incorporated
last week and M. E. Rawlings, ]. E..
Lashar and d. A. Roller, Of Denver,
are named as the incorporators. The
company is capitalized for $4,000.
From what the Observer has learn
ed of the Gilpin-Hurricane it is a
bona fide proposition. The organiz-
ers of the company a short time ago
purchased a small strip of ground
near the War Dance mine, between
the New Brunswick and the Church
placer 1t is the intention to acquire
the New Brunswick and negotiations
for the purchase of this lode are
now pending. The New Brunswick is
held under lease by DR.. A. c. AS
and Forbes Rickard. Since acquiring
lease this pool has sunk the New
Brunswick shaft to depth Of
30 feet and run a tunnel from the
Willis gulch side for connections
There is a good showing in the shaft
and the ore is very similar to that
found in the War Dance. The COM
pany is raising money to purchase
the New Brunswick and intend to
carry on development and work this
and the Hurricane with the hope
that the promising showing will de-
velop into something good. DR.. AS
quith was in Denver yesterday for
the purpose of transferring the lease
to the Gilpin- Hurricane company.

REPAIRING THE BUELL..

Charles Ehrlich, OF Black Hawk, in
tends to commence work this week
of painting the Buell. mill. He will
replace the tin where 1t is needed
and place the exterior of the building
in condition for the early resumption
of operations contemplated by the U.
P. R. Mining & Milling company.
The U. p. r. company is doing
everything possible to hasten the re-
equipping of he mill and expect to
steam up within the next two
months. The alterations include a
complete electrical plant and the
more efficient and extensive concen-
tration.
AS soon as the mill is operating
the mine will be unwatered below the
300-foot level and after the workings
are freed of the water the production
of ore from the fifth and sixth levels
will be undertaken. A crosscut will
be run from the seventh level to
reach known ore bodies. When the
crosscut Is completed an upraise will
be cut on the U. p. R., Kit and Vasa
veins.
Through this system of develop
ment complete ventilation for all the
mines in the big combination, COM
prising fourteen or more veins, will
hn % cd Nd nj q
properties in shape to make an out
put equal to the capacity Of the mill.
The development outlined also in
cludes the sinking of the shaft from
its present depth of 700 feet to 1,500
feet. The sinking of the shaft to this
depth, 1t Is claimed, will make it pos
sible to open up sufficient ground to
permit of operations for the next
thirty years.
The consolidation effected short
time ago when these properties were
merged makes this combination a
vast proposition. The area of ground
the U. P. r. company will have is
600 feet in width and three-fourths of
mile in length. The production of
this property is estimated as being
above the two million dollar mark. In
the principal workings good ore is
exposed and a product that will pay
good can be extracted from the very
commencement Of operations. The
consolidation OF the interests involved
in the merger will make possible the
application of most modern and prac-
tical methods in working the proper
ties and treating their product.
