MIN @
OPERATIONS IN THE
vERMlLLION DISTRICT.

Al large body Of ore has been Open
ed up i'm the Grizzly Hill tunnel in
the Vermillion district. For distance
of 10 feet the tunnel has been run
on the White Rock vein which is
from five to seven feet in width.
The foot wall has fine showing of
chalcopyrite with iron sulphides on
the hanging wall. The quartz gangue
between, is we'll mineralized and
adapted to concentration. A large
amount of this ore is in the bins
which are large and commodious. A
wagon road one half mile in length,
has been graded to connect with the
main road on North Clear Creek. AS
says of the smelling grade give val
ues of from $23.00 to s45.00 per ton
in gold, silver and copper. The con
centrating ore averages around 5 90
per ton. Ed. Berg, the owner, has ac-
complished the greater part Of the
development work alone. The Brame
tunnel on North Clear Creek is own
ed by the same party. 1t is in dis
tance of 400 feet, three large veins
having been developed in 'cross-cut-
ting.
These veins are some seven feet
in width, and the character and val
ues being of a milling grade and
adapted to mill II close by. An
abundance of water for milling pur-
poses is available the year round.
The tunnel is equipped with track
and blacksmith shop. Fifty tons Of
ore per day could be readily mined
from this property were a mill erect
ed for it's treatment. Should the
Pioneer mill be completed, a track
could be built from the portal of the
tunnel direct to the mill which is
distant one-quarter of mile up the
creek.

A BIG STRIKE IN OLD TOWN.

The newspapers of Clear Creek
county would be hard put for real
mining news II 1t were not for "Old
Gflpin'. The following is from the
Idaho Springs Mining Gazette:
The strike made in the Old Town
last week is proving better than was
at first expected. The ore body was
found on the 14th level, 400 feet west
of the main shaft and is from 3 to 4
feet in width of solid smelling ore
that will average in value $4,000 per
ton at the present time and improv-
ing with every foot that the drift Is
opening. Simmons and Joyce are the
lucky leasers on this block of ground.
owned by Mattivi and Delvai, is also
in good ore. A shipment OF a car
last week from this lease gave a re-
turn OF 2.S4 ozs. gold, SIS silver and
value Of the car was over $1,000.
This lease is on the 500 foot level
west. Pardi and Co., on the 900 foot
level east are sending out from so
to 100 tons per month that runs
from $12 to SIG per ton and the value
is increasing with every shipment.
There are now 40 men leasing on the
mine. The company is now crosscut-
ting from the Old Town to the Rocky
Mountain Terror vein and expects to
reach it within the next 10 or Is feet.
This vein is one of the strongest in
the district and has produced from
the surface workings thousands of
tons Of milling ore worth from $1,000
to $500 per ton, and it is expected
that when intersected at a greater
depth that the, ore will be Of a much
higher grade. Manager Kimball as
we'll as the lucky leasers are more
than pleased with the outlook at this
time.

MINES STUDENTS HERE

Some fifty students of the Golden
School of Mines arrived ON the morn
ing train accompanied by their Prof
essors. Contrary to the usual rule
when bunch of college boys arrive
in town, instead of noise there was
a desire to gain some practical
knowledge. A dozen nationalities
were represented in the delegation.
Today they were shown over the
workings of the Frontenac mine I'm
der the direction of engineer Norton
Brown, from there they journeyed
to Idaho Springs ITO take a glimpse
OF Gilpin county through the New
house tunnel. One subject had the
mumps before he started and was
switched to Idaho Springs for medi-
cad attention, a member of the class
beng delegated to accompany him.
Naom Forks Creek up, the class
was instructed by the professors in
change regarding the different min
eral formations in sight from the
train, including the many fisssires in
~ psd py 4he erosion oa Nnrta
Clear Creek. The practical knowledge
gained by class of this kind is of
great value in survey of practical
mining operations, but in our opinion
the time allotted Is too short. We're
they to stay a week it would be to

orators of the camp would gladly
cooperate to extend their stay, even
to the extent of providing rations
by having the trip made at a more
seasonable and propitious time Of

system Of the big leagues was not
working as carefully in those days,

must have moved back to its proper

he won eight straight. He has been

r OR the frth time In fourteen
years the Athletics have won
the American League pennant,
the bunting being tucked away last
week. In the early days Of the
American League in ls02-when
John McGraw termed the Athletics
the White Elephants, Connie Mack
took his band to the front for their
first pennant He repeated in 1905,
and they lay back for a few years
In 1910 he got out where the water
was smooth and brought his shell over
the line in front. and gained So much
Roadway that he was not overtaken
in 1911. There was a Weakening in
1912, but the team has made pracd-
callv a runaway race Of # this sea-
son.
When team csu remain in the
lead from the day of the seasons
opening until il cioses-with the eN-
Ception Of one day--it can oe re-
garded as Outcia ~siug every other club
in the league. That is what The Atn-
letics have done this wear They
were out Of first place Just one day.
That day was thirteen days after the
season opened, when Ray Heating
pitched n magnificent game of ball at
Shibe Park and the Yankees beat the
Mackmen Washington won that day
and went into first place. Washing
ton got back into its normal speed
the next day, and the Mackmen drift
ed back into the leading position, and
have been there ever since. Washing
ton, by being in the lead for one day,
has something to boast Of The Ath-
- - A
can League. They are far in advance
of their rivals. There IS no COM
parison.
It's pretty much the same in the
National League. The Giants are this
season winning their fifth pennant
for McGraw with five pennants
slowed away, Mack and McGraw are
apt to be considered the heads of the
pennant trust. Jennings with three
remnants is MaCk's closest rival. while
Fred Clarke and Frank Chance have
each won four remnants in the Ma
tional McGraw got his first one IN
1904, and repeated one year later. He
didn't come back until 1911, and he
has been at the top ever since.
Cubs Won t16 Games in 1906.
With the Athletics winning the
American League pennant the East
ern clubs have won eight times to
six for the Western teams since 1900.
1t is Just the reverse in the National.
The Western clubs have won eight
times to six for the Eastern clubs,
five Of the six being credited to Nc
Graw. Taking the two leagues COM
bined this makes fourteen remnants
for the East and the same number
for the West No winner of an
American League pennant has reach
ed the 700 mark in the point Of

year is the highwater mark for games

GONE months ago Mr. Ban John

American League, ordered his
rnoires to jack up the speed of base
hall games so as TO send the Loyal
Public home in time for dinner.
With these instructions in mind
an umpire approached a famous vet
Gran twirler in a game in Philadel-
mia and suggested that he smoke up

"See here-Tm getting along toward
forty and 1 can't hit it up with these
Youngsters. If I'm going to pitch
nine innings I have to take my own
time to it,"
The umpire was abashed-which Is
mighty remarkable thing for an
umpire to be. The veteran proceeded
with hts pitching in his usually de-
rnarate manner, unpursued by fur
finer SUGGESTIONS from the umpire.
Furthermore, the story went the
rounds Of the umpires and none of
them make any comments when the
