LASTTRIBUTE TO DEADSOLDIER
Band Plays Drge as General Green
Ough is Borne TO Church in
Charleston, S. {.

Vial itStOii, -. =.
With the flag that he served so
faithfully in war and in peace wrap
ped about him, with his sword lying
upon his casket amid fronds of palm,
the body of Brig. Gen. Gordon Green
ough passed through the streets of
Charleston Sunday from the ConneMy
Chapel to st. MichaePs Church. The
hearse which bore the soldiers re-
mains formed part Of solemn process
sion In front marched the band Of
the United States Post Of Fort
Moultrie. The drums were muf
fled and the men marched silently and
with grave faces to the sad music of
Chopin's funeral dirge. Behind the
band was the hearsc, and behind the
hcarse marched three companies Of
regulars from Fort Moultrie, more
than 200 soldiers in the ranks. After
the soldiers came the carriages bear
ing the honorary pallbearerS among
whom was Col. Henry II. Ludlow,
commanding the Fort Moutrie post,
At the church the casket, draped in
the folds of the Stars and Stripes was
borne to the altar by eight sergeants
of the garrison. The soldiers filed sill
emily in and took their places in the
pcws. A large congregation was pres
cnt The impressive Episcopal funer-
al service was read by the Rev. John
kernshaw, d. D., rector Of st. Mich
ael's and the hymns were sung. The
body was then borne out of the church
and placed again upon the hearse,
and the procession passed back up
Meeting street to the Connolly Chapel
There the body will lie in state until
word has been received from relatives
of Gen. Greenough as to the final dis
position of it.
The following gentlemen acted as
honorary pallbearers at the funeral
Sunday: COL Henry H. Ludlow, Maj
Javey, Edward H. Jennings, and Maj
mons, w. C. Miller, VIM. NJ. Wallace,

The large congregation which at
tended the funeral services was evl-
dence of the affectionate regard IN
which Gen. GreenoIgh was held in
Charleston. When he died at the Rlv-
erside Iniirmary on Thursday morn
ing it was not as if stranger had
died but rather one Of CharIeston's
own and best loved people. During
his two years service as commandant
at Fort Moultrie he made numerous
friends here and after his retirement
when he had chosen Charleston as his
home. he became thoroughly ldentl-
fed with the life of the city. During
his last years he devoted much OF his
time to painting and to the study OF
art. and he cheerfully gave MS SER
vices as curator of the Gibbs Art Gal
lery without any other fecompense
than the pleasure he found in the
work and in the opportunity afforded
him of promoting interest in art.
Charleston had become his home and
as he loved the old city, so her people
loved him.

possibility of 80 per cent or better
saving under modern methods. the
outlook for profits for the present
operators are indeed flattering, when
they shall have their mine workings
in shape for economical production.
That the metropolitan press has
awakened to an appreciation of what
Manager Sayre is accomplishing,
space is given a recent article in the
Denver Post:
Robert Sayre is one of the young
est of our local engineers and has
acquired large part of the know
ledge he possesses by operating
mines under leases in Gilpin and
Clear Creek counties. The drainage
Of Quartz hill, or, rather, the great
Kansas Burroughs combination Of
veins, was a vexatious problem for
man of his years and experience
to undertake. But it was one of the
more important problems of the coun-
ty. AS the puncturing of Quartz hill
by the Newhouse tunnel failed to
release the enormous bodies of wat
er in the very extensive old work
ings, other means had to be tried.
Consequently both courage and skill
had to be employed The territory
that will be rendered available for
mining when the water is out (and
1t is going very rapidly now,) is one
of the richest gold mining areas of
its size in the state and Mr.. Sayre
is fully entitled to the credit of ac-
complishing an undertaking which
much older and more experienced en-
gineers We're unwilling to tackle 1t
will reopen to large production enor-
nous quantities of the most desir-
able gold-bearing ores for concentra-
ton and smelling to be found in the
country

IMMENSE COPPER DEPOSIT.

The hurried trip of Engineers Ais
dorf and Adams to the New Mexican
border, has resulted in both these
gentlemen wearing a happy though
mysterious smile since their return.
AS to the exact location of their
examination the Observer is unable
to determine but is informed that
there is reason to believe that one

in the world has been discovered. 1t
is blanket formation, the greatest
depth as yet determined is from 60
to 20 feet in depth The contact is
shale and sandstone. The area COW
cred by this deposit is not fully
known, but appears to be from one
half mile in width by over a mile in
length. Tests of the deposit gave av-
erage returns of per cent copper.
Further details of the find are await
ed with interest.
AS II now appears, the interested
par rites have cinch ON the future

opment the output from this one
mine, they would be in a position to
dictate the price OF the copper mar

FIFTY WILL START
IN THE FUTURE.

There being so many conflicting
reports in circulation regarding the
starting up Of the Fifty gold mines,
the Observer is authorized to say for
the benefit of the community, that a
deal is pending which is in a fair way
of completion. Should this deal go
through it will take considerable
time to place the legal affairs in
shape so that a clean title could
pass, as the matter would have to be
passed on by the courts. the prop
erty advertised for bids. the bids ap-
proved by the court, and a final de-
cree made. All this would take time,
so that the immediate resumption of
work on the property as so many ap-
pear to believe is out of the ques.
tion.
That the pending negotiations will
be brought to a successful completion
rs without question and when con.
summated will once more place this
property i'm the front rank as a pro
ducer of the yellow metal.

hoists and an electrically driven
compressor of sufficient size to fur
nish air for drilling purposes to a
depth of $500 feet and more.
The main working shafts on the
property are the University, Pease-
Kansas, Conley, Phoenix and Ophir.
The Phoenix shaft has reached a
depth of 1850 feeet with similar
depth in the Ophir shaft, the other
shafts mentioned range from 500 to
800 feet dn depth. The management
contemplates confining the main min
ing operations to the Phoenix and
Ophir shafts as the entire property
can be worked economically from
these two points. The Monroe vein,
of which the company controls 500
feet, drops into the Kansas vein at
depth of $40 feet; the Burroughs
vein enters the Kansas vein at a
depth of 1000 feet, thus making the
Kansas vein at this depth, the heart
Of the rich gold being veins of Quartz
hill. The record of production made
from the deeper workings of these
combined properties totals the sum
of two and one-half millions of dol
lars in ore value. On but two levels
in the Phoenix mine, viz, the ten
ter than 100000 was mined. Actual
record of the early day production of
these properties which would include
the rich surface ores, is not avail
able, but sufficient ex-parte data
should give comparative estimate
of over $4,000, 900 gold production for
this group of mines.
1t is interesting at this time to
refer to some of the early history
of some of this property. From the
Burroughs vein, Colonel Randolph
mined during the months of August
to November in the year 1870, the
amount of 1876 tons, at an average
mining cost of s5.1S per ton. The
stamp mill returns. were an average
of $l2.23 per ton. The cost of haul
ing and milling was $5.25 per ton.
Colonel Randolph, making comment
as to his results at that time, states
that ''If the miner realized eighty
per cent from his 1875 tons of ore,
instead Of thirty per cent. which is
the highest average yielded by the
stamp mill process. his profit from
this amount of ore would be $50, ,52S-
sc instead of the present gain OF
s2,4s3.25. or about s222O profit on
each ton of ore mined" With the
present low cost of mining plus the

BIG COMPANY
IS ORGANIZED

The organization of the Caribill
Mining company by Henry P. Lowe
and associates, to take over the fam
Gus Caribou and Poorman mines in
Grand Island district, creates a new
era for that once. well known produc.
er of high grade silver and conner
ore. Mr.. Lowe has associated with
MIN i'm the enterprise some of the
Dest known and successful mining
men in the state.
The property will at once he re-
haDlitated, the old workings drained
OF water, and thorough exploitation
made to determine the amount of
ore available, together with the nec-
essary development to warrant the
erection of modern mill to handle
uhe immense tonnage that is known
70 be in the mine. The mill will be
patterned after the Frontenac mill
in Black Hawk, which Mr.. Lowe has
brought to a point where a higher
per cent of saving of values is made
than in any other mill of similar type
in the state.
Caribou hill has a record for pro-
duction of s14,OOO,OOO, practically all
OF it from the properties taken over
by the Caribill Mining company. The
mines are located eighteen miles
from Central and many of the old
timers will remember when the pron-
erty furnished the principal tonnage
for the Hill smelter in Black Hawk.
AIT that time the cost of hauling the
ore to Black Hawk was $1,000 a ton,
The treatment charges were around
$4,000 a ton. But this was a mere
pasatehe as the ore carried upward
or 400 ounces silver to the ton. Prof.
Hill at one time offered $4,000 net
Tor one ton of ore from the Caribou,
This property has been held to be
the richest silver mine, including val
ues and volume Of ore, ever discoy-
cred in the state. The average width
OF the old ore bodies was five feet,
the ore lying between walls of horn
blendic granite. The vein filling be-
ing composed OF true argentiferouS
quartz together with sulphurets of
silver, antimony, copper and lead. In
the early day history of the mine,
Prof. E. E. Burlingame reported the
percentage of copper being S.3 per
cent. Silver values ranged as high
as s16,49S per ton.
With the experience gained by Mr..
Lowe in the operation of the Iron
City and Frontenac mills he will with
out doubt make a grand success of
his operations on the Caribou as
There is an immense tonnage of what
was formerly considered as too low
grade ore for profitable treatment,
still standing in the old workings
without the necessity of making any
extensive new development.

MINES WILL BE DRAINED BY
THE FIRST OF JUNE - LARGE
AMOUNT OF GROUND WILL BE
READY FOR LEASERs BEFORE
THAT TIME.

The Phoenix-Ophir Mining Com
pany under the management of Rob-
ert Sayre, is making great headway
in getting their properties in shape
for operation and production. This
company controls 1000 feet of the
Kansas vein, 1900 feet of the Bur,
roushs and 500 feet of the Monroe.
The operations in the Burroughs lat
erai of the Newhouse tunnel have re-
sult,d in obtaining a flow of water
amounting to 200 gallons per minute,
which Is lowering the water in the
old workings of the property at the
rate of Two feet per day. This meas
urement is obtained by daily obser-
walton made in the Ophir shaft. AS
TO whether the same amount of de-
crease in water obtains in all the
properties to the west of this CON-
pany's property is problematical, as
1t is known that large blocks of sol
Id ground remain between the end
lines of many of the mines that ad-
Joll iult nut thseS thN w.
er in the Phoenix-Ophir Mining com
pany's properties is receding at the
rate of two feet per day and will in
crease as 1t lowers on account of
the old workings narrowing up as
depth is gained.
With the present flow of water
from the old workings it would take
some nine months to drain all the
properties of the company. On ac-
count of there being less open
ground at the deeper depth, at least
one-third of the time may be deduct
ed from this estimate, so that 1t Is
reasonable to assume that the mines
will be drained within six months
from date. or by next June. Manager
Sayre states that within one month
of the draining of the property, he
shall have blocks of payable ground
available for leasing that will give
employment to at least 100 men
with the possibility of employment
for 200. 1t is the intention of the
company to equip their working
shafts with modern electrical equip
ment which will include rapid motion
