RICHARDS GETS HIS HORSE.

A ranchman Of the Ralston creek
section informed Marshal George
Launder Monday that sorrel horse
which tailed with the description of
the horse owned by c. o. Richards
that had strayed away from Boulder
park last week, was seen in the
vicinity OF his ranch. Mr.. Launder
and Fred Bowden drove to Ralston
creek Monday afternoon and found
the horse in a pasture. They brought
the animal back that evening. They
also brought with them a stray mare
that had been disturbing rancher
in that section and which answers
the description OF a horse wanted
in Nederland. The horse was tramp
ling down the ranchman's oat field
and he threatened to kill it, SO the
marshal thought he had better save
the horses life by bringing 1t to
Central.
Mr.. Richards is tickled over the
recovery Of his horse. Saturday in
company with ]. C. Feschhultz he
renewed the search for the missing
animal in the northern part Of the
county. They discovered places where
the horse had been grazing. but the
trail was not distinct enough for
them to follow.

STREAK ASSAYS As HIGH As
$4,000 TO THE TON. RICHEST
STRIKE EVER MADE IN THE
WiDEAWAkE SECTION.

The richest strike of free gold
ore made in the county in the past
twelve months Is reported from the
Pine Comb property in the Wide
awake section. At this property last
week a six inch streak was opened
into running between $4,000 and &c.,
900 to the ton. The vein where the
free gold is found is quite wide, the
ordinary ore running $122.95 to the
ton in gold and silver. The copper
values are very heavy and with this
metal included, the ore is worth con-
siderably in excess Of the value Just
quoted.
The ore is white spar and copper
iron Of the peacock variety. 1t Is
found in the Copper lead, in a, shaft
that is being sunk from the tunnel
level. The vein is pitching toward
the Pine Comb and with a little
depth it is expected that the juno
ton Of these two veins will be struck
and then the richness Of the ore
must be fabulous.
The Pine Comb operations are in
a district that has seen very little
development. Why those engaged in
mining do not investigate this sec
ton is one of the mysteries that are
frequently puzzling to those living in
a mining county. 1t is an old district,
but practically nothing has been done
in the way of exploration to deter
mine just what the hills contain in
the precious metal.
1t is gratifying to learn, however,
that another company is preparing
to do some work in Wideawake.
This is the Free American company.
Their holdings are a short distance
from the Pine Comb. The company is
negotiating for an adjoining group OF
claims and figure on working these
in conjunction with the Free Amer
lean group.

The crosscut tunnel was put

the tunnel. but the vein split and
was followed back.
From the portal Of the tunnel to

SCHNEIDER GETS GOOD BIRTH.

George w. Schneider, elected Prof
essor OF Mining is a graduate Of the
Colorado School of Mines in the
class Of 1894. He has had seventeen
years active experience in mining.
After graduation he spent a year at
the Atlantic Copper Mine, Michigan.
studying mine economics. From 1895
to 1903 he was actively engaged in
Gilpin county as mining engineer, U.
s. deputy mineral surveyor, city en-
gineer Of Black Hawk and Central
City, county surveyor Of Gilpin coun-
ty, consulting engineer Of the Kan
sas Burroughs Consolidation and Con-
crete Mining company and other CON-
panies.
From 1903 to 1907 he was state in
spector OF mines for Colorado and
made a careful study Of mine econo-
mics. From 1907 to 1909 he was gen.
eral manager Of the Tominie Mex
ican Mining Co., of Durango. Mexico.
Since then he has been consulting
engineer of the Conqueror Mining
company and has done general pro-
fessional work with headquarters in
Denver.
Prof. Schneider's speciality has
been the economics of mining. He ia
close student Of the details Of ef'
ficient mine management and will in
troduce into the school the idea OF
engineering efficiency which are now
so successfully being introduced in
to other engineering lines.
Prof Schneider's wide practical ex'
perience. his high standing in the
mining profession, and his enthusiasm
for the work all indicate that the
technical courses in mining in Col
den under his guidance will be second
to mono in this country.-Golden

SLIDE MINE WORKING.

Water was pulled from the Slide
mine in Russell this week and extern
sive development will be prosecuted.
Two shifts will be worked and the
shaft sunk 200 feet. This will give
the shaft a depth of 400 feet. Sink
ing will be carried on in good pay
ore. there being streak in the bot
tom1 of the shaft, four inches in
width. that runs $4,000 to the ton.
Additional depth is bound to make
a big producer of the Slide, as it is
in a good section and is a most
promising proposition. Work was sus-
pended on the mine year or more
ago. At that time it was determined
by the operators that depth was re-
quired to open up new ground. Mark
Harris, an experienced miner, will
have charge Of the work.

ager Adams to put machine in
this winze and make steady ship
ments.
The Dietz electric drill, Just Install
ed after undergoing several changes,
Is giving the highest satisfaction. 1t
is one of the cheapest drills to op-
crate that has been introduced to the
mining industry. 1t is much healthier
than the air drill as there is no
compressed air to breathe nor any
dust. A stream of water flows
through the center of the drill while
the machine is in operation and there
is not a particle Of dust s-
The electrical plant provided for
the operation of the drill is the most
unique Of anything similar seen in
the county. A small room has been
cut In the solid rock. to the side Of
the tunnel, and In about 340O feet.
In this room is five h. pt alternat-
ing current motor, which drives a
direct current generator. This gener-
ator supplies the two h. p. motor.
attached to the drill. In addition to
the drill motor the generator sup
plies electricity for " h. p. pump.
which furnishes water for the drill.
The water pressure is 100 pounds.
There are several slopes In the
tunnel that can be made to pay we'll
by breaking the ore with a machine.
These places will all be worked in
the course Of time and only one who
has been through the tunnel and not
ed the various points from which
ore can be extracted has any idea Of
the extensive shipments that can be
maintained when the ore producing
sections Of the tunnel are worked.

The Sternbergers will soon be in
a position to do a great deal of work
in their properties in the Russell dis
trict. The Lucania tunnel is being
forced ahead to cut the Emerson
vein, near the cemetery, recently ac-
quired by the Sternbergers. This vein
is continuation of the celebrated
Gem lead and is but one of a net
work of veins that will be worked
through the tunnel proper and
through laterals. The Sternberger
brothers own three and one-half
miles Of virgin territory, extending
from the Russell section over into
the Fall river district.
1t is learned upon good authority
that it is the ultimate intention of
the Sternbergers to erect a treat
ment plant for their ores, where the
use of electricity will be an import
ant factor in the extraction of val
ues. They have big generating
plant up Fall river and thus situated
an electrical process would be the
cheapest system they could adopt
