Having read with pleasure
your article of Aug. 18th, on de-
sirable improvements for Idaho
Springs, and having been tourist
in your town for month, think
it would add greatly to the pleas
ure of tourists to have more
mountain paths as you suggest.
The climate of Idaho Springs IS
certainly ideal for tourists and if
the surroundings are made pleas
ant people will surely return.
If the hillside park was beauti-
fed with flowers and grass as
in some of the home yards, it
would be a delightful place to sit.
One thing which annoyed me
very much was the great number
of broken windows III the vacant
houses. A vacant house is a
necessary evil Dut one with the
windows all broken is not. Could
not the children be impressed
with the fact that windows were
not made to throw at, either by
talks or in the public schools or
by fines? l live in city where
are many vacant houses, but few
broken windows, due perhaps to
fear of being arrested and hav'
ing to pay the costs of repairing.
These are a few suggestion tina,
have thought of and want you
to know that l take friendly in
terest in the town

and there is a four inch streak
that gave trial shipments OF 1896
ounces in gold, while the IL to Is
inch streak in the slopes and lev
el runs about FIVE ounces per ton.
There are no small seams for one
to draw his Imagination on as to
what may be expected, but in all
the workings of this new COM
pany there are large paying ore
bodies and from which most pro-
fitable shipments will be made
when the policy of the company
in developing is carried out and
which is now being very actively
pushed. The company is using
two Levner drills and four Waugh
stopers and is employing about
twenty five men. 1t believes III
paying its men well and thus get
ting good rtsults
General Conditions
The property is thoroughly
equipped viii, machinery and all
conveniences for reliab BILE and ac
tive mining. The Power House on
Clear Creek is amodel of efficiency
and everything around it is kept
in the neatest possible manner.
The facilities for handling ore are
of the very best. From the time
the ore IS loaded in the cars IN
the mine until it is deposited in
the cars of the Colorado & South
ern railroad there is no handling
excepting that OF sorting the
large chunks of ore. All the
buildings have been erected with
the eye to convenience, utility
and the conservation of labor.
With an abundance of rich ore a
management that believes i'll get
ting the results for their invest :
ors and with all such facilities for
economical mining, there can be
no doubt but that those who have
and are placing their money in
enterprize will reap a bonanza.
There is no better showing of ore
in anv mine in the district than
can be seen in the Donaldson
workings and what is true OF this
one will also be true OF the Maga
Iona. Centurion and others The
amount of work that has been ac
complished during the past SIX
months in development is wonder
| full and those connected with the
proposition have the stick-tu-l-
tiveness to prosecute it urtll they
will reap rich reward for their
time, toll and money. They are
making a mine and when made, as
it will be within a very reasonable
time, they will begin to see their
Golfers filing with the wealth OF
the mine. The great mines have
been made just as these gentlemen
are going about this one by PIN
ming their faith to the ultimate
results. The ore is everywhere
visible. 1t is rich ore. 1t can
be mined economically. 1t is in
large bodies. 1t will be com
plete financial success A repre-
sentative Of this paper spent the
greater part of day going
through all the workings and
examining the conditions as
they exist and hence is making
these statements on what he saw
and believes.

been mined. The company has
made no mistake in the selection
of propert ties in which TO
carry on their extensive op-
erations.
Work
The work is being pushed in a
systematic manner and IS SO
SO planned as to get large ship
ping results later on. Shipments
are being made regularly from the
development work and these give
results of over a little more than
an ounce per ton or $4,000. Ihe
lower workings are confined to the
level that has been driven on the
Donaldson vein west from the
Rock ford tunnel and from which
a fifteen hundred foot upralse was
made to the surface for ventilation
as well as for running levels at
distances of about 100 feet. In
this main level a shaft IS being
sunk 10 a distance OF 500 feet ana
is now down 100 feet. All down
this shaft there is body OF one
ounce ore that is fully three feet
thick and from which shipments
are being made. Other develop
ment work is going on in this
level. The ore can be traced tor
400 feet along the Donaldson
walls and ranges from a foot to
two feet in width carrying gold
values of from two to five ounces

excess of these are readily OBJ

the demand of Commissioner Ames, made
on May 16, had handed In his resignation.

would require a man of unusual talents

a considerable time. He therefore ASKED
the board last night to reinstate Mr..
Gray for another year.
COMMISSIONS Carr wanted to know
why the resignation was demanded, and
