A very sad accident occurred yes
terday at Dolores, by which Charles
Porter, son of Ben Porter of Cortez,
lost his life. He was evidently break
ing a broncho on the Clark ranch
above Dolores, and the animal threw
him violently, fracturing his skull
| and seemingly breaking his neck and
back. He lived but few hours. We
deeply sympathize with the sorrow
ing ones.-Montezum Journal
Judgment against the Sayre-New-
| ton Lumber company and Alvin A.
| Rust, a former millman of Monte
yuma county, Colorado, for $143, ,S59 0S
has been asked in suit filed by Harry

| The four Italian leasers, who have
| been working at the Bonner mine
| near the Burro bridge switch, are re.
| ported to have opened up large
! pocket of rich ore at point about
| 200 feet from the portal of the lower
level of the mine. In driving the
tunnel this pocket of ore was encoun-
tered and one sack, sorted from the
| tunnel, returned values of over $500
to the ton. The management of the
| Bonner at the time the pocket was
encountered was pushing work on the
| lower level to cut one of the prin-
cipai veins known to exist on the prop
erty and before the strike could be
| exploited work at the mine was dis
ntinued.-Silverton Standard.
| The Ashenfelter ore teams got
through to the Camp Bird, Tuesday
| for the first time since the Water
Hole slide came down the night of
March II. A snow tunnel has been
dug through 145 feet of the slide and
the balance, over 200 feet, is a big
cut. The tunnel is large enough to
| permit the heavy ore teams to go
| through and the roof averages good
| hfteen feet in thickness This is the
first time that snow tunnel was ever
| put through on the Sneffels road, and
| before the change in the grade on
TIC Red Mountain highway, the River
side tunnel was known all over the
country as one of the sights of the
San Juan. Probably the new tun-
mel will be an attraction for tourists
this summer. The road from the
Camp Bird mill to the Atlas mill has
rot been opened and the concentrates
are being packed to the former point
and there loaded on the wagons
