LISTING MINING PROPERTY.

The lack of any recognized agency
for listing mining property has been
serious obstacle to legitimate min
ing investment. To remove this OBJ
stacle is the purpose of commit
tee on which are represented the
Denver Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee on Mines and Mining, the
Colorado Chapter OF the American
Mining Congress, and the Colorado
State Board of immigration. The plan
is to establish listing service in
the offices Of the latter board. Own
ers of Colorado mining property will
have the privilege of filing, with the
board, maps, surveys and other defi-
they have for sale, and this inform
alton will be indexed and preserved
in 4 way to make it accessible to in
terested capitalists. There will be
tunities for profitable mine develop
ment and ore production in Colorado
were never before so good as they
are at present. Capital is taking ad-
vantage of such opportunities and is
abundant.
All that is lacking in bringing to-
gether the capital and the oppor
tunities is reliable and easily acces
sible information. This will be sup
piled by an official listing service
which will enable the man with good
property but without adequate cap
ital to get into touch with buyers
who have the necessary capital.

OPENING SILVER PROPOSITIONS

Thomas Cu1ahy has interested
Colorado people in the Michigan and
Cora May properties, held under
lease and bond by P. ]. Hughes &
Co., located in Hughesville. 1t is a
silver proposition and the values in
the white metal run exceedingly high.
While just prospect ore taken out
OF a shaft down 43 feet gives as
say values of from 100 to 1900 OF.
ton. There are shafts on both
claims, the other being down but %
feet and a high grade of silver ore
shows in both. 1t is the intention Of
the new company to sink one OF the
shafts 100 feet. drive levels cast Ard
west. and open up the property.
The Hughesville section is noted
for the rich silver values found in
the ore. There is narrow belt
where the white metal is found, sup
posed to be an extension Of the
mineral formation of the Georgetown
and Silver Plume districts. Very lit
tie exploration has been done in the
vicinity of Hughesville and If some
attention were paid to this rich dis
trict there is no doubt but that end
of the county would make a startling
showing. Two years ago, Mr.. Men
hennett and sen, doing some assess
ment work for owners of claims, took
out a small bunch Of ore that net
ted them s195.00.
The success of the undertaking un-
der Mr.. Cudahy's direction is prac-
tically assured. He is a competent
mining man and has been success
full in promoting some good PROPOSE
tions in Gilpin county. Mr.. Cudahy
has unbounded faith in the district
and feels that no other camp offers
the returns on small investment
that can be had in Gilpin county.

DEALING OUT JUSTICE.

A lawyer was defending a man nc.
cused OF housebreaking. and said to
the court:
Your Honor, l submit that my
client did not break into the house
at all. He found the parlor window
open and merely inserted his right
arm and removed few trifling ar.
ticles. Now, my clients arm is not
himself, and ! fail to see how you
can punish the whole individual for
an offence committed by only ono
Of his limbs"
THAT argument" said the Judge
sis very we'll put. Following 1t logi
cally. sentence the defendants arm
to one years Imprisonment. He car
accompany 1t or not. as he chooses.
The defendant smiled, and with his
lawyers assistance unscrewed hi
cork arm. and. leaving 1t in tho
dock. walked out.

Running Lode
Starts Work

Monday of this week the Running
Lode mine, below Black Hawk was
started up under the control of ].
H. Cover and Thomas Dunstone. For
the time being work will be carried
on above the water level, which is
at the 500 foot point. Later the mine
may be drained and $4,000 tons of
Ore, already broken on the stulls, will
be hoisted. This ore is worth be-
tween $500 and $500 to the ton.
In the fifth level, where work for
the present will be confined, there
are 2S0 fathoms of very good ore.
Recently test of 81 tons was TAX
en- out and sent to the sampler. The
value of this was $500 to the ton.
The Running Lode is equipped with
q modern system for sorting the ore
and the separating of the lead ores
from the gold and silver is easy,
quick and inexpensive. The sorting
arrangement means a great saving of
Money as the lead values can be sep
afated and made to produce a profit.
The Running Lode ceased opera
lions two and half years ago. At
that time the owners Of the property
were thinking seriously Of erecting
q mill on the grounds to handle their
milling output. The proposition was
abandoned temporarily and since the
ah1If dnu-v Nothing hoG honn dnnn in
the mine, although parties having a
lease ON the dump made some easy
money. The company is still intent
upon putting up a mill and may
carry out their intentions in the near
future. The milling product that will
now be extracted will be treated by
the Iron City mill.
The Running Lode is a mine that
needs no certificate of endorsement.
1t can speak for itself. The total
production Of the property is two and
onehalf million dollars. During 1896
and 1897 40 per cent of the gross
output of the mine was paid in divi-
dends. When the mine was worked
under full force of miners, 500 tons
were shipped in one month, the en-
tire lot averaging $4,000 to the ton.
AS soon as the ore bodies are op-
eped up, which will be within the
next two or three weeks. between
10 and 15 men will be put to work
and an output of at least 10 tons a
day will be maintained. Thomas Dun
stone will give the management OF
the property his personal attention.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

| At the meeting OF the directors Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, held in
the city hall last Thursday evening.
resolutions were adopted strongly en-
dorsing the Moffat tunnel bill. The
measure at that time had not been
passed by the Eighteenth assembly.
Copies of the resolutions were sent
to Senator B. J. O'Connell and Rep
resentative L. ]. Williams. The rep
resentatives Of Gilpin county in the
upper and lower branch of the legis-
lature, though, assisted in the pass
age Of the bill.
This bill will be submitted to a
vote of the people at the next state
election. Considering the great bene-
fit to the development Of the state
that will be derived from the enter
prise it is virtually a certainty that
the amendment providing for a bond
issue by the state of $4,00O,0O0 to
build the tunnel will carry.
Gilpin county will be particularly
benefited by the boring of this tun-
mel. 1t will not only put the county
on a transcontinental line but will
shorten the distance from the Routt
county coal fields, saying nothing Of
the reduction Of grade. 1t will be an
incentive for capital or those control
ling the Moffat road to complete the
line OF road already started from Pac-
tolus on the Moffat line to Central
City.
George r. Steuart was extended an
invitation by the directors at Thurs
day evenings meeting to be present
at the general meeting to be held to-
morrow evening MAY 5th) and ad-
dress the Chamber on a proposition
OF procuring an adequate supply of
water for mining and milling pur-
poses.
1t is hoped that the meeting to-
morrow evening will be well attend
ed. Committees for the special work
the Chamber has before it will be
appointed. Then there are several
matters that the organization as a
whole should discuss.

War Dance Ore
Assays 2O7 Ozs.

The famous War Dance mine Is
again astounding tho mining world
with picture ore. With this rich pro-
ducer the question is will wonders
never cease. It matters not what
character Of work is being pursued,
attempt at heavy output or merely in
development, the values disclosed are
such as to make the mines Of King
Solomon appear as ordinary pro-
ducers Of the precious metal in COM
parison.
Several tons taken out in sinking
the shaft last week run as high as
81 ounces to the ton in gold, while
the lowest values were "a ounces.
Above the 200 workings assays were
made in the past few days showing
the .ore to carry 207 ounces to the
ton in the yellow metal.
A carload shipment is being made
this week OF ore taken from various
points in the mine and the average
of this is expected to be up to the
usual richness of the War Dance pro-
duct. This shipment goes to the Col
den smelter, which is treating all
the ore that comes from this precious
property.
When sinking is completed and the
ground lower down opened up, it is
hard to anticipate the extent Of
wealth that will he revealed in this
celebrated property. 1t must be re-
membered that the mine at present
is barely more than a prospect. Very
little development was done prior to
the time the mine was acquired by
the present owners. Three years ago
work had hardly been started when a
drift west of the shaft showed ore
assaying as high as $4,000 to the
ton..

STATE ENGAGES IN MET
ALlURGlcAL RESEARCH.

Working out problems in ore dress
ing and neutrality-suspicious. whose
solution will put value into ore that
cannot at present be handled at a
profit-has been undertaken by the
state of Colorado. By next winter
the Colorado School Of Mines at Col
don will have in service an ore test
ing plant completely equipped with
the latest and most efficient machin-
cry. The foundations of the building
have been finished. the structural
steel is arriving rapidly. and much
of the equipment will be in place
this spring.
Mining companies backed by ample
capital and operating on a large
scale have proved that more than sat
isfactory rewards are to be gained by
comprehensive and thorough expert
ment in ore treatment. The Portland
company. for example. spent about
$4,000 in experimental work before
building its new mill in the Cripple
Creek district, and can now earn div
idends on millions of tons of low
grade ore in the mine and on the
dumps, ore that formerly contribut-
ed nothing toward meeting the ex-
pense OF breaking and hoisting.
Small operators have similar prob
lens, but cannot undertake to work
them out as individuals. This is one
of the reasons for using state mon
ey in metallurgical research.
The purposes Of the new plant and
a description of the building and the
proposed equipment in the crushing
sampling, stamp milling, roll-crushing
classifier and concentrating. dry-con
cenrtating, cyanide, smelling, labor
atory, And experimental-machin unit
are given in an article by Prof. F.
w. Traphagen included in the bien
NAL report OF the State Bureau oi
Mines. The undertaking is regarded
Of great Importance to the mining
industry OF Colorado. and ought tc
produce excellent results.
