MINE OWNERS WANT
A SQUARE DEAL

| Ihe inspired article In the Clear
Creek Miner of last week, DIN which
the statement Is made that Gilpin
county mine owners are disposed to
funk out OF their part of the con-
tract for drainage" Is an insult to
the intelligence OF those mine own
ers who were inveigled into signing
the Newhouse tunnel contract. They
entered into the contract in good
faith, believing that their mines were
to be drained in a reasonable time.
This has not been done. In this,
the tunnel has proved failure. With
this self-evident fact in view, are
our mine owners to remain silent
and continue to allow their valuable
properties to remain idle at the whim
Of the tunnel management?
When the tunnel bore had reached
the Mammoth vein and the tunnel
company awoke to the fact that they
had made a gigantic financial failure
of their enterprise, they conceived
the brilliant idea of obtaining inter
est from the owners of mines in the
territory north of their then work
ings. We're the large tonnage pro-
ducers, south of this point and with
in the confines of Gilpin county com
pelied to enter into a like agree
ment? No: they figured that by en-
tering the vitals of the mineral area
CT the county a revenue could be
gained other than the legitimate
compensation they might earn from
transportation. Our mine owners
were glad to have their properties
drained, even at the great cost Of
from 25 cents to s1.0O per ton for the
ore mined, The drainage has not
been accomplished, and the mine
owner finds himself in the same posi-
ton that he was prior to entering
into the contract. Other methods
will have to be had to successfully
drain the mines so that they may
be operated. Pumping will have to
be installed. expensive connections
made, all this at the expense of the
mine owner. That this was not done
years ago is to be regretted. The
blind faith that the tunnel manage
ment was to drain the mines for the
compensation agreed upon, is the sole
reason that efforts have not been
made before this to unwater them
I by other means That our mine op
orators should be forced into the
position of draining their properties
at their own expense and still be Ii
able for everlasting drainage royal
ties to the tunnel company is prop
osition without equity in law. If the
tunnel company is sincere in its wish
to obtain revenue legitimately by
drainage royalty. why not complete
their end OF the contract by doing
the necessary work of connecting
with the various mines for drainage!
Surely the tonnage royalty from
these mines when drained should pay
them handsomely for this added out
lay of expense.
The drainage tunnel that is to be
driven from its portal below Smith
hill. and which will drain those great
gold producers, viz: The Fisk, Cook
Gregory, Bobtail and other mines
along its line, will cut under the
Newhouse tunnel several hundred
feet We venture to ask the New
house tunnel management, whether
they would be willing to pay for the
drainage below their level and is the
mining of ore below the level Of the
tunnel subject to the same terms as
ore mined above

MINING
GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
WAR DANCE COMPANY

A most excellent outlook for the
future of the War Dance Mining COM
pany is shown by recent develop
ments in connection with the prop
erty which Is situated In what is
known as the Russell district, Gilpin
county, Colorado, says the Mining In
vestor.
Returns have just been received
on several lots of ore shipped from
the War Dance mine.
Three lots of the ore came from
the 325-foot level, the high grade av-
eraging over 6a ounces of gold to
the ton, the gold and silver contents
showing smelter returns of over $3.50
per ton. The lower grade ore from
the same level brought smelter re-
turns of s32 and $S5 per ton.
Two carloads of ore aggregating
about 40 tons averaged around $25
per ton This was drawn from the
stuMs above the 200-foot level and
was in the nature OF a trial shipment
The results were SO satisfactory that
shipments from this source will be
continued and very large tonnage
is promised. This material was
thrown into the slopes when the very
high grade ore was first discovered
in the mine by lessees several years
ago, but it now proves to be a very
profitable product.
Unusually high grade ore for this
section has been produced from the
War Dance mine for the last three
or four years and there is today
rich ore running from five ounces
to fcrty ounces gold, or from 500
to $500 per ton, exposed in four or
five different levels in the mine. In
the past the work has been of a
desultory nature, but even so it has
yielded in the neighborhood Of $780,
900 gross. 1t is only now, however,
that really systematic work has been
inaugurated in the mine, the prop
erty having been leased by John Lar
son and associates. The new leas-
tTig company is strong financially and
has already started to sink the shaft
an additional 300 feet. An entirely
new hoisting plant will be installed
and large amount of drifting and
other development work has been cor
tracted for. An expenditure of about
100000 is planned under the new
oUn nv,I
creased production of high grade ore
is looked for as the result of this
systematic exploration
This lease is a most advantage

it means not only systematic and ex
tensive development without expense
to the company but means also q
large revenue from royalties.
It is planned eventually to con
meet the War Dance shaft at q
depth. of about LOO feet with lat
eral running east from the Newhouse
tunnel. This will give the property
drainage and transportation facilities
and connection with the Colorado
& Southern railway at the portal OF

value of ore from the War Dance
mine, the company's annual report
issued in January last. shows that

The Havoc Of the Elements

Nothing is more. appalling, says the
Duluth Herald, than the occurrence of
such disasters and suffering as are re-
ported from the states of Nebraska,
Ohio and Indiana. The new service
wires are being burdened with fearful
stories of loss of life, not to mention
terrible destruction of PROPERTY. Homes
that q fewEhours before we're apparent
ly secure have been swept away, TAX
ing with them the savings of years, and
in many cases some OF, all the members
of families have been swept to death.
In such times as these a vast wave
of sympathy goes from all the other
sectisons Of the country the people Of
afflicted districts. We read Of such
disasters in foreignlands andthe words
move us but little. But in these in
stances now being reported the suffer-
ing and deprivation come nearer home,
and we realize, them with greater force
and vividness.
1t but adds to the horror Of the thing
that the tradgies of the storm are
nothing that human foresight or in
genuity can prevent. Heavy rains
that bring abnormal conditions in the
streams, or high winds that, overthrow
the work of men that ordinarily would
stand for years, come with little or no
warning, and in the twinkling Of an
eye lives are snuffed out and hundreds
or even thousands left destitute.
The most that other communities can
do is to offer financial and other ma
terial aia to the destitute, and this is
something which the American people
r always ready to undertake. So in
the face Of. the devastation in the
central parts Of the country, the suf-
ferers can know that they not only
have the sympathy Of others more
fortunate than they, but that as fast
as their wants and needs may become
known, substantial assistance will be
forthcoming.
