THE LAKE
Itchl Itch! Itch!
Scratch! Scratch! Scratch!
Cuss! Cuss! Cuss:


It is not so bad at Devils Lake this
year as formerly, although a good sup
ply Of lotion has been sold.
Everybody's itchin, scratching and
cussing at Maple Lake, according to
the Grand Forks Times, and persons
who have been in the lake within the
last few days and have returned to
town are also doing it.
The itching is caused by weeds that
make themselves known in many fresh
water lakes at this time Of the year.
Bathers who venture some distance
from the shore invariably come in con.
tact with these weeds and the itching
results. The weed is not dangerous,
according to experts, but makes one
feel very uncomfortable for time.

IDYLLs OF COLORADO.

On the realms of creative art in
music we find Denver being repre-
scented more and more, and among
the musicians and composers who
are making that city their home are
several whose names and reputation
have become widely known.
The most recent contribution in
the form OF piano music which comes
to our notice is very attractive
cycle entitled, "1dylls of Colorado"
composed by Arthur Bowes. organist
and choirmaster of St. Barnabas
church.
The cycle consists Of four num-
bers: "Nocturne,' ITO a Chipmunk," ="
"Gavotte," twilight" The ideas and
impressions which prompted the writ
ing of these compositions were re-
ceived during sojourn in the Rocky
mountains of the state. and the
author has delightfully."- portrayed in
the "Nocturne'' and Twilight" the
various moods which steal over ore
while contemplating beautiful sun
sets, snow-capped peaks, deep gorges
and picturesque scenery
These exquisite pieces are of a
semi-classical nature, Of medium diff
ficulty, and very playable; and al
though Published but short time
are already in use in several large
colleges and musical institutions OF
the west. Music lovers will be much
pleased with this unpretentious little
work. a1d it is to be hoped that
success will prompt further effort on
the part Of this gifted composer.

TROUBLESOME PAYING.

The Troublesome lease last week
shipped 6770 pounds of ore to the
sampler. This was the first shipment
taken out since the mine was start
ed month ago. The ore ore went
1-S2 ounces gold, 6 ounces silver,
very little copper. The entire lot
netted $90.15. This shipment was a
test lot,and was taken from the stope
between the 100 and 160-foot levels
A winze is being sunk in the 160-
foot level, under the shoot which has
been mined in the stope. Tuesday,
miners broke into eight inches of
copper ore, which is making on the
foot wall. This shoot in the stope
was very rich when worked few
years ago by Alfred Wettstein and
associates. Much of the ore carries
native copper. The stope extends
from the 160 level to surface and
from this ground Wettstein took out
$32, 200 in a short time.
Upon taking over the mine the
present lessees were forced to clean
out a cavern, extending from the
surface to a depth of 80 feet in the
shaft. The mine is now in good
shape for work and the operators are
hopeful of taking out a good guam
tity of pay ore.

DRIVING TOWARD PHOENIX.

Work is now under way on the
Kansas-Burroughs vein in the New
house tunnel and is to be prosecuted
with vigor, says the Idaho Springs
Gazette. The plans of the operating
company have been modified and now
project a connection with the Phoe-
nix shaft 600 feet east Of the tunnel.
The Phoenix shaft is not deep as the
level of the tunnel and a short raise
will be necessary to connect when
the drift is in. 1t is believed, how
ever, that some of the great water
courses of the hill will be cut in the
drift and the drainage accomplished
very soon. The mines of Quartz hill
are connected together with numer-
Gus openings SO that when one OF
them is tapped the entire district is
drained. Even when there are nc
direct connections between mines, the
drainage will be secured with the
greatest facility as the water courses
do connect them intimately. 49, -.
The starting up of this enterprise
is the most important thing possible
and will lead to an early resumption
of work in number of the big
mines of the district.

tonnage will be reached within three
months from date. provided the work

workings in shape to supply this
amount is expended. The working
capital to be laid out gradually in
further development should not be
less than $4,000, and further $780,

cies. Working costs on a 6,00O-ton
basis Qncluding smelter, freight and
charges), concentrating of an average
of five to one, have been found tc
total $3.4O per ton, and, with an ad'
dition of so cents per ton for devel
opment. should not amount to more
than $3.50. This, after deductirg /:
per cent for losses in milling would
leave a profit of over $4 on the aver
age grade OF 1886 per ton. On 6,00(
ton monty basis there should, there

a public office as something that be-
longed to the people and not to the
man the people had elected to fill
the office; that an official was ac-
countable to the people for the con-
duct of that office and If the duties
were not properly discharged, those
who had the power of election should
surely have the power of removal.
Mr.. Byron made his attitude on the
recall clear and said 1t should apply
to the judiciary just as forcefully as
it did to the sheriff, clerk, treasurer
or any other holder of public posi-
ton. He said that no man who would
honestly and conscientiously fill an
office to which the people had ell
ected him, need fear the recall.
Mr.. Byron said that should the
district convention honor him with
the nomination for attorney, he would
do his utmost to be elected. This is
the first office, during his lengthy
political career, that Mr.. Byron has
ever aspired to. A. number of years
ago he was elected from Boulder
county as a member of the house of
representatives. This office he did
not seek, but 1t was thrust upon
him and he was elected without ef-
fort.

DEATH OF HUBERT LacoY.

Hubert LaCoy, a former resident
OF this district. was found dead in
his bed :. in Central City last Mon
day afternoon. LaCoy whose real

wife obtained divorce, retaining
possession OF the two children.
There are suspicious circumstances

RAILS COUNTY
TO SINK SHAFT
WORK WILL START IN MAY -
ROADS OPEN AND HEAVY SHIP.
MENTs BEING MADE FROM A
BIG ACCUMULATION OF ORE -
MINE IN SPLENDID SHAPE.

The Rails County mine this week
commenced shipping the enormous
amount of ore that has accumulated
in the slopes and drifts during the
past three months when the heavy
SHOWS filled the roads so deep haul
ing was impossible. 1t has been
phyical imposssibility to keep the
road open since the fore part Of the
year, and all this time miners have
been breaking ore and accommodating
it. Now that the ore has comnenc-
ed to move, teams will be kept busy
for an indefinite period transports
ing the dirt and iron to the mills
and sampler.
Manager Gage has arranged to
overcome all inconvenience and de-
lay from snow drifts in the future.
He will have the tram tracks laid
to the mine as soon as the frost Is
cut of the ground and the transpor-
tation of ore in the winter time will
no longer be source of trouble to
him.
Since the first of the year, miners
have been breaking ore in the 500
and 700-foot levels and stopping in the
300. The high-grade streak in the
winze in the 500 is stronger than
when first opened. The crevice is
31a feet wide, with an eight inch
streak of smelling ore that runs
$25O.OO to the ton.
| During the month OF May, work
will be started in sinking the shaft
the ore shoot extending from the 500.
This shoot is 800 feet east Of the
shaft and is dipping west at an ar
gle OF IS degrees. The shoot will be
encountered in the shaft at $50 feet
below the present shaft depth of
700 feet.
Wonderful changes have been made
in the Rails County mine since work
was started little over year ago.
The mine was cleaned out in every
part of the workings and the equip
ment was put in shape for steady
operation. Development has been
carried on in parts OF the mine while
ore was being extracted in other
parts. The management has adopted
the proper system in operating their
property, in that they do not sus-
, pend development to work out the
, ore in sight. While they are main
: tanning production from various
, levels and Slopes, at other points
J they are extending their drifts to
, open ur new ground. Following this
/ system, which is the cheapest and by
, far the most practical way Of work
ing a mine, they are never without
pay ore. When the shaft is sunk the
| Rail- County workings will appear as
the acme of perfection in thorough
e and practical mine development.

HOW TO BENEFIT.

J Here is a great gold mining dis
trict in easy reach Of great city
with many accessories. 1t could be
made one of the richest metropolises
on the globe did its citizens recog-
nize the importance of the wealth
to be had by Systematically taking
1t out and using the proceeds in
building up that which has SO aus
piciously begun. All should be eager
to take a hand. The wealth from
metalliferous property means much
in the scheme of things. Many rec
ognize what has been accomplished
are not engaged in the enterprise
Is one of the things that surprise
mining towns where the metals may
be had for the effort.
1t might be too much to expect
that endeavor be centered in one
district. But good judgment would
be pretty certain to select this Sec
| ton, for the reason of the true-fis-
sure nature of the country and the
known veins that could be worked
at the very start.
A pool of half million dollars
could do wonders in this district.
Those who have faith in these hills
would almost guarantee extraordinary
return from such an investment. The
scheme is not only plausible but
rational. 1t is just possible that not
| dollar of such sum would be
needed to secure the properties. A
lease might accomplish the result
anticipated. OF course a price could
be placed on the property taken over,
to be paid for by the ore extracted.
] Many would be glad to secure the
royalty from the ore and they might
not even have a tremor of the con-
] sequences to the mine by the heav-
lest output. Their faith in the true
| fissure nature OF the country would
lend them the hope that whatever
might be taken out in the ordinary
course of mining, there would still
be a showing at the end of the life
Of the lease. Such is the feeling of
many concerning the mines of old
Gilpin.
A half million dollars invested
might not be expected to return any
great sum that would aid a great
city to- any appreciable extent. But
tsuch a venture proving successful
would pave the way for others to
make like or larger try for the
gold SO conspicuously evident in the
ores of this district.
If any town distant from the mines
cares to see it gain material wealth,
the one way to do it is to supper;
the industry of mining. But this
would not apply to all mining dis
tricts. Only such as have proven per.
manent producers could be placed in
the position of aid to city caring
to reap the benefits by engaging in
mining. There are not many localitie:
that could be depended upon to con
tinue producing, so many work out II
few years. But, this is a depend
able place, as is evidenced every
time there is reported resumption
of work on one or more of the old
, cts locations. Some OF them are ex
pected to do better than in the past
There is certainly a great deal O
| ground between the bottom Of man,
workings and the tunnel level of thj
Newhouse. This should be remem
bered.

BIG INTERESTS TAKING HOLD.

There have been SO many new and
big mining undertakings in these hills
of late, the results should soon be-
gin to show in the tonnage handled
by the railroad. Much of this resump-
ton of work on the old properties
is inspired by aid to be rendered by
the Newhouse tunnel. But there are
many properties working that have
been dormant for years which are
not likely to be influenced in any
way by the tunnel. These have been
taken over because of the really
promising showing in the ground to
be worked beneath the surface. 1t
would be almost novelty to begin
sinking an entire new shaft on a
claim in these hills. If such work
is undertaken. it would be because
of the necessity of a new opening to
better get at the ore. or it were
cheaper to begin all over rather than
place the old opening in shape for re-
sumption.
Mining men are beginning to un-
derstand the situation relative to
the gold properties of this district
The true-fissure nature of the coun-
try surrounding appeals to them i'm
mensely. Then the known veins have
much to do with their taking hold.
Eut Notwithstanding this apparent
knowledge, all is not known, as was
lately demonstrated in the recent
discovery of a parallel vein in the
0lpin Orion in making an upraise.
This sort of thing, while not alto
gether common may develop in many
properties with depth.
The Frontenac has two veins run
ming not far apart and they produced
lot of ore and it is likely they will
thus be continued for many feet be-
low discovery. OF course there are
plenty ore shoots that lead from the
main vein but are not permanent.
The two veins on the Frontenac are
about of equal width and differ but
little in the character of the ore.
This is only cited to show the pos
sibilities of discovering parallel veins
with depth, which would give double
the ground to be worked. Even with
out this phenomena there is an i'm.
mense lot of ore yet to come out
o. these hills. Nearly all of the old
mines can show the best indications
and even good -ore in quantity but
refractory and maybe of a grade mol
enticing but which could be made
so were it taken out and successful
ly concentrated. Many are doing
this very thing in the hope that
richer bodies may be uncovered that
will bring the values up to high
per cent. making the venture very
profitable There are number thai
are uncovering much high-grade ore
These have been mentioned lately ir
these columns and therefore need
not be quoted further.
The reading of news of late ha:
proven highly interesting and If sub
stantial returns do not continue i
will not be the fault of the mines.
