CONNECTS WITH NEWHoUsE.

The driving of the 1,100-foot lateral
the Aduddel vein for the Druid Gold
Mining company, has been completed
by Oscar Jaensen, who had the work
under contract. Next week a crew Of
men will be started blasting out for
station 1900 feet east of the tun-
mel where a raise will be made to
connect with the surface workings.
The station will be large in dimen-
sions and will require the removal
of a great quantity of rock. 1t will be
thouroughly timbered and Mr.. Jaen-
sen has been engaged to superintend
the work. The station and raise will
be made by days pay.
Along the lateral an excellent body
OF ore has been opened up and at the
point where the raise will be made
the showing is exceptionally good.
Mine reports show where the Searle-
Aduddel vein has produced a million
and a half dollars. The Newhouse
tunnel cuts this vein at depth Of
1000.
A hoist will be installed when the
station is completed and this will be
operated by compressed air. The
raise will be put through at about the
center of the company's holdings,
which comprise large acreage on
Pewabic mountain. An immense terri
tory of virgin ground will be open
ed by means of this raise.

CENTRALITES IN TROUBLE.

Dispatches from Goldfield, New,
conveys the news that Bart Knight, q
former well known resident OF this
city, has been arrested with others
for alleged conspiracy to rob a. mill
OF the Consolidated Mines company.
The dispatch, under date of February
18th, follows:
Something of sensation was
created today when four prominent
citizens of Goldfield were arrested on
warrants charging them with con-
spring to rob the mill of the Consoli-
dated Mines company.
They are Bart knight, chief con-
stable of Goldfield and Democratic
candidate for sheriff; NJ. ]. Smith,
owner OF an assaying plant; Jake
Hildebrant, saloon-keeper, and Martin
Miller, an employe in the mil,
"It is charged that they obtained
gold from the amalgam plates in the
mill and that $4,000 has been lost in
the last few weeks in that manner.
Each Of the accused was released
on $4,000 bonds"

some PICTURE VALUES.

]. w. Ellis and others, connected
with the Colorado & Southern rail-
way, who are operating the S. S. Nor
ris lode in the Hawkeye district, an
nouxoe recent finds which point to
immediate wealth. They have three
inch streak of iron and from this as
says have been taken that show the
stuff, to be worth $4,000 a ton and
from that to $4,000 and sSOO0O and
the banner assay shows something
around 100000. Mr.. Ellis and his
partners have several prospects in
the Hawkeye section, which they To-
Gated themselves and the Morris lode
is not the only one that holds out en-
couragement. A small bunch Of ore
taken from the Little Joe Griffin,
another of their claims, showed won
derful values. In this shipment there
were 500 pounds of ore and for this
small lot they got something over
$4,000. The Hawkeye has always
been known to be good district and
with this knowledge it is strange that
more work has not been done in that
section.

REBUILD ON THE ALPS.

Another shaft house will be erect.
ed to replace the one on the Alps
mine, which was destroyed by fire
less than two weeks ago. The build
ing on the Avon mine, in the vicinity
OF the Alps, will be torn down and
the material will be used to construct
the Alps building. The engine on the
Kent-County will be removed and
used on the Alps. The boiler was not
damaged to such an extent in the
fire OF two weeks ago to render it
useless. 1t can be repaired and will
show little effect of the heat. The
fire did not burn the shaft to any
deep depth-about 10 feet-and the
expense of repairing this damage will
not be much. 1t is a pleasure to the
camp to know that the destructive
fire will not be the cause Of this old
producer being idle, and it is like
wise gratifying to know that the less
ees, who would have had to stand
the heavy end of the expense had
arrangements not been made for the
resumption of work, that their loss
now will only amount to the delay oc-
casioned in rebuilding.

THE EUREKA MILL.

The issue OF the "Gilpin Gold
Belt" just from the press, contains
an article written by A. H. Brown
consulting engineer of the Gilpin-Eu-
reka company, explaining the pro-
cesses to be used in treating the
ores Of the company at the mill now
being erected in Prosser gulch by the
GilpinEureka people. Construction
work on the mill is advancing rapidly
The five cars of lumber necessary
have been delivered on the grounds
and the plant in all probability will
be in operation by the latter part of
March. The latter part of this month
will see the building enclosed.
In his communication to the stock
holders, Engineer Brown says the
water supply for the mill will be OBJ
tanned by gravity from the head of
Prosser gulch, and by pumping from
the mill site that is controlled by
the Gilpin-Eureka company, near the
city reservoir, in Eureka gulch. Ac-
cording to the engineer the last men-
toned water supply has a minimum
flow Of about 200 gallons per minute,
which is ample for a mill Of much
larger capacity than the one in
course of construction.
In covering the adaptability Of the
processes to be used by the mill in
the treatment of the Eureka ore, En-
gineer Brown says there is nothing
experimental in the plant as design
ed, and it is merely an application of
well known and thoroughly tested
milling methods to the conditions pre-
sented by the ores OF the Eureka
properties.

complete conspiracy. The intent. while
an important ingredient OF the con-
