LEASING SYSTEM COMPARED.

There is considerable to be said
in favor of working property by
the leasing system. although, of
course, there is also much to say on
the other side. The lessee common
ly works personally, and doesn't stint
the time he IIts in, as he is work
ing for his own benefit and the lorg-
er hears the better chance fer max
ing money; the man who works by
the day may perhaps be thinking only
of putting in the time. Many a COM
pany which has gone to pieces under
the enormous expense of keeping up
appearances-with office rent, pro-
moters' commissions, advertising,
printing, stationery, livery hire, rail
Rad fares. etc.-wor'i have been
safe If 1t had leased out its
ground in blocks 10 men working two
or three or half dozen in a lot for
what they could really dig out. There
is the danger OF unsystematic devel-
cpment ana "gophering" to be con
sidered. CT course, but contract can
be drawn up which will protest both
sides.

THE KINGDOM OF

With the return of spring, when
in the human breast it is with sad
ness sadness for the ether fellow,
that we view the many neglected op-
portunities that are in plain sight
ing district in the United States con
sidering the immense amount of
wealth produced and dividends paid
to the many operators in the county
for the past fifty years.
There is no question in the minds
of all prominent mining men, but
there is more known true fissIre
veins and mother lodes in this linn
tied alea than in any other part o.
the known world. These conditions
are being appreciated more and more
by the outside investing public, as
evidenced by the many representa-
tives and seekers after mining prop
critics in this section who are now
looking up and attempting to gather
groups of mines for future develop
ment and exploitation.
That they will be successful in
their efforts is without question. Just
as soon as terms can be arranged sat
isfactorily, many of our now idle
mines with favorable past records,
will be equipped with modern equip
ment and made to produce far great
e. than in the past.
The rehabilitation of these old
time producers will mean employ
ment fer thousands OF miners to-
gether with the erection of new and
up-to-date mills fer the treatment Of
the millions of tons of profitable, ore
now exposed and in sight in these
properties. So let us one and all ex-
tend the glad hand to these new
comers and wish them all success
that is their due and just reward.

A REPORT ON THE FRoNTENAc.

A London engineer, Gerald M.
Browne, recently made report to
the stockholders of the Frontenac
Consolidated Mines company Of which
II. P. Lowe of this city Is manager.
Al paragraph in his report shows
most flattering condition of the
mine and contains information which
will be read with interest:
"The vein system, as whole, pres
sents more than ordinary interesting
characteristics in that it consists of
an ore channel of varying width con-
tanning an ore streak Of three to five
feet wide on either wall. These
streaks contain pay values in vary
chutes having been found to exist
side by side. The coming together
of both veirs is always marked by
greater enrichment, and occasional
ly there is a joining feeder equally
enriched between the two. The double
vein system presents graf possibili-
ties fer the development of further
large ore reserves in the present
workings, and for this reason all cal
culations, being based on one vein
only, may be considered as conser-
vative. The ore being worked in the
western portion Of No. level, From
tenac-.whioh is at present the low
est level with any extent of develop
ment-is the best ore being worked
in the mine. The positive ore devel-
oped amounts to 1885, ,545 tons of an
average assay value of 1896 per ton.
The probable ore amounts to 95,025
tons, of an average assay value of
1922 per ton. The ore expectant
amounts to 22O,OS2 tons, of an aver
age assay value of 1922 per ton.
Total, 450.652 tons, value 4.172, ,632. 20.
No account has been taken of the
ground lying between the eighth
level and the Newhouse tunnel. a
depth of some 1900 feet. nor of any
possible development below the New
house tunnel"

WHAT THE MINES
I CAN DO FOR THE STATE

Denver is struggling. through its
newspapers, to keep in the limelight.
/. offers all sorts Of inducements to
draw attention till it has become a
irritable show place. It's efforts at
boosting are frcm morn ill night.
The necessity fer this is not rightly
understood, especially by the Oldest
inhabitants, they feeling that with
the mountains as a back ground with
its store of wealth would be suffi-
ciently impelling We're its treasures
taken out and made a basis CT real
worth
Denver may claim it to be a dull
Fart of the year and merely keeps
up The show till better times arrive.
The better times can always remain
did the valley people recognize that
We're it net for the mines the place
would never have been placed on the
map The moment this fact is for
gotten the base drum and cymba,s
are brought into play. This would
need never happen did the denizens
OF Denver take greater interest fl
Rarcially in the mines of the state.
! There are some good properties-the
best to be found anywhere and of
god, at that-within a short distance
of the metropolis, which if worked
would draw crowds not alone to Den
ve- hut the whole state. Denver has
not much else to depend on than
the mines. Her manufactures are
not extensive owing to railroad dis
elimination. A large number of the
mines in operation would make the
city almost independent of even the
blare of the trumpet. People would
come here because money was a
plenty, taken from the hills.
| If business men would come to real
/ ize that without the mines even as
conditions now exist the business of
the valley would be almost nil. How
easy it wIculd be were many of the
money men TO take greater inter
est than ever before. They have be-
come apathetic as concerns mining,
believing that they can do much bet
ter in handling town and suburban
lots. Were it not for the mines those
same lots of which they think so
much would net be worth a pic
ayune.
| If Denver and the rest of the
state expects to grow, more mines
must be operated. A continued out
put from these of large tonnage
would be the greatest incentive in
drawing others from outside into the
business Of mining and other callings
OF course a place like Central City
would not care so much who under
takes the operation of the very good
properties in this section. But If any
part of the state cares to embark in
| mining in these hills the way is point
ed cut to realize handsomely Denver
should awaken to the fact that with
many mines in operation the majo.

MINING EPIToME.

Gulch, the Saratoga, is keeping sew
eral batteries in the Polar Star mill
supplied with ore. While a large
tonnage from this mine is shipped via
| the Newhouse tunnel, it is of in
terest to note that 1t is still i'm
portant that our local mills 5e used
for the reduction of the low-grade
ores.
Continuous shipments of smelling
ore are being made from the 400
foot level of the Kokomo mine in
Willis gulch. The ore while being of
medium grade, makes a large ton
mage, values being around $50 per
ton. James Chellew is working a
lease on this property with more than
satisfactory results.
The Warfie.d, Robert Fulton, Liv-
ingstone, Gladstone, Federal and Rub
be- lodes, in the Russell district. have
been taken over by the Threewit
Mining company under the manage
ment of Richard Hughes, the we'll
known operator of that district Ac-
tive operations have started, and
from present mineral showing on the
property, shipments will be made at
an early date.
The pool on the Galena mine on
Central City hill. are to be congratu-
lated in the results obtained, despite
the large amount of dead work
necessary to cleaning Up the prop
erty in the way of new timbers and
mucking out. Several shipments of
good grade cres are ready for the
sampler, and as the mine is brought
into working condition. large ton
mage is assured for the near future.
The 9OO-foot level of the Pitts
burg property promises to excel in
values, ores obtained from the earl
Ter workings. Shipments from this
level have returned values of s240
per ton, containing 10 ounces gc,d,
same amount in silver, with copper
running from s to II per cent. The
100O-foot level is now being connected
with the 900 by a winze for ventila-
ton. The showing in this level is
