Colorado.
There are four mergers now in the
course of organization in the Cripple
Creek district.
The Ell Paso Company is acquiring
new ground and enlarging Its estate
at Cripple Creek.
Ore that is very characteristic of
uranium has been discovered at the
Legal Tender at Ouray.
Many of the mines around Oak
Creek have shut down temporarily
and some of the miners are seeking
work on the railroad and on the
ranches.
After trail extending over two
weeks, jury returned a verdict in the
District Court at Central City in favor
Of Daniel Wurts and awarding him
$4,000 damages for the ore extracted
from the disputed territory.
Prospects of more liberal policy
by the government toward prospecting
has resulted in noticeable movement
toward the hills by men in quest of
mineral, with which the mountains OF
Colorado are still we'll laden.
A strong revival of mining in the
Gilpin county district this spring has
been followed by the erection of a
number Of new mills and shaft houses
and the reopening of many old mines
that have been inactive for years.
Some of the properties sending out
ore by team at Cripple Creek. are the
Cheyenne Qsabella), Wild Horse,
American Eagle, Chicken Hawk,
Block 8, School Section. Prince Al
bert, Ingham, Ophir, Specimen and
Dillon.
Leasers who are working in the
Portland No. l shaft at Cripple Creek
have started in following narrow
seams on the second level and doing
dead work which has resulted in the
opening OF several promising ore
shoots.
Ore is being packed from the prop
erty of Mrs. M. c. Smith on the left
side Of Cascade falls at Ouray. The
vein from which this shipping ore
comes Is about ten inches In width and
the values have never run below five
ounces in gold.
Late fall will see construction work
on a new mill at the Pride of Cripple
Creek mine, Ironclad hill, to be put
up by Lessee A. ]. Morrison and his
st. Paul associates for the treatment
of the immense bodies of low grade ore
found in that mine.
The discovery of gold in vein OF
coal in the Rollins mine, located at
the foot of Grand Mesa. has caused an
outbreak of the mining fever in Delta
Assayers have been testing the vein
and declare that it will average be-
tween IS and SIS ton in gold.
News of an important ore dis
covery made on the 550-foot level Of
the Joe Dandy shaft at Cripple Creek
by former Governor James H. Pea
body, lessee, has gone the rounds in
mining circles OF the district but can
not be verified, at least the former
governor refuses to give out details Of
the strike. He admits that several
streaks Of good values have been
opened up, but will say no more.
The Little Matte mine on Chicago
mountain. less than three miles from
Idaho Springs, is the scene of the
geatesb mineral discovery that has
been recorded there in years. The
ore body is three feet wide and from
assay made upon seven inches of ma
terial returns forty ounces of gold and
300 ounces of silver per ton were re-
ported. The other part of the ore vein
shows values of ten ounces gold and
100 ounces silver per ton.

National Engraving Company
Roof Set on Fire When "Ad"
Lets Go in Midair.

Some of the inaugural decorations
went up in smoke and flame today when
a big advertising balloon anchored on
the National Engraving Company build
ing exploded with tremendous boom
at 11:G o'clock.
The force of the explosion shattered
q portion of the skylight and resulting
flames set fire to the roof. Quick work
by the Fire Department saved heavy
fire loss from the high wind. The ex
plosion and ringing of fire gongs gath
cred several thousand people in a few
seconds A few minutes delay by the
Fire Department would probably have
doomed the building.
The explosion was heard all over the
downtown section, and the burst of
fame and smoke, visible from police
headquarters, the office of Major Syl-
yester and No. is engine company
headquarters, caused half dozen calls
for fire apparatus almost on the instant
paratus in the Fourteenth street en-
gine house, whose members heard the
explosion, were half way to the scene
before the alarm stopped sounding how
ever.
Inspector Cross seeing the blaze from
his window in the District building,
cent out a call for the police reserves
of three precincts.
The fire was inside the skyheht be-
fore firemen reached the top floor
where a number of infiammable chem

The balloon was inflated with oxygen
gas last night and raised. The gas Is
highly infiammable, and il is believed
that the high wind drove the balloon
against a projection on the building,

SEE WATERSPOUT
FROM STEAMER

PORTLAND, April 1.-Whirling
along over the sea 80 miles an hour
a huge waterspout fully mile high
passed within Is miles of the steam
er Rose City at 6 q. m. yesterday, and
went ashore in the vicinity of Cape
.Mears. A cloudburst In the Coast
Range of mountains is supposed to
have resulted.
First Officer Dexter was on watch.
When he first saw the great column
of water he says heavy bank OF
clouds was hanging above the hori-
zon. Higher up in the sky was the
main body of the waterspout, the
lower part dragging below the clouds.
The lower section whipped around,
forming an. angle, and in appearance
ii is described as resembling the
devils tai!
Apparently the spout had started
somewhere near Grays Harbor, trav-
cling from the northeast, passing
over the Columbis River lightvessel
and sweeping on toward Cape Mears.
The Rose City was some distance out
at sea, the spout going between her
and the shore.
Dexter says that a watefspout so
far north is a most UNUSUAL phenom-
enon. He was so surprised that he
called the captain to the deck to look
at it. From 4 to 8 O'Clock, he states,
the weather conditions were most pc
culiar and irregular The steamer ar
rived at Ainswurth dock at $3.50 last
night. She brought 275 passengers
and 1900 tons of freight.
Following the sailing Of the Rose

summer schedules, leaving this end
