AMONG THE MINES
KANsAs.eURRoUeHs AND LAKE

Manager Sayre of the kansas-Bur-
roughs group of mines, cut in the
Newhouse tunnel, reports work pro-
crossing with diligence. The Pike
leasing company on the Kansas vein,
have their connection made from the
drift with the tunnel track, and are
now pushing work on the drift at the
rate of 20 feet week. The ore at
this point is three feet wide, and all
ere is concentrated at the Argo mill
located at the mouth OF the tunnel.
A group of Denver capitalists is now
negotiating to take a lease on the
Kansas Burroughs vein, cut in the
tunnel, and connect with the Phoenix
shaft, sunk from Quartz hill, thus
connecting the tunnel workings with
Nevadaville mines and draining same

Mining has been handicapped in
various ways by many citizens of the

with this, our last legislature passed
bill, introduced by Denver cor
poration attorney and Western Slope
fruit raiser, known as the Tait-Skin-
ner bill placing a double taxation on
our mines output, thereby sitting
prospecting and mining production.
There was also passed at the last leg
islature two separate bills defining
the width of lode claim boundaries,
one of which defined the boundary
at 300 feet, and the other at 6OO feet,
the one in conflict with the other,
thus rendering both bills useless.
There are many other things regard
ing mining that should be given at
tention by the delegates, as the eye
of the world is now turned towards
Colorado for mining investm tents.

OLD TOWN MINE

The Old Town mine in Russell
gulch, is fast coming into it's old time
prosperity. Roberts and company
leasing on the 1,1OO foot level west,
have a large streak OF concentrating
ore and have just completed the Ship
rsent of 10 ton lot to the Iron City
concentrator at Black Hawk. Bray

foot level, have just completed a
shipment OF 100 tons to the Iron
City concentrator. The streak Of
ore on this level is four feet wide
and the level has been driven dis
tance of 80 feet since encountering
the ore shoot, and the breast shows
the streak equally as large. Stulls

the 600 west, and are now extending
that level with machine drills on a
good streak OF ore. The Old Town

ore in the past, and these recent de-

MINING REVIVAL

The people of the west have ever
been found ready to meet great en-
ergencies successfully. When silver
was demonetized in 1898, thus des-
troying cne half of the worlds cir
culating medium and compelling the
closing of the silver mines, thereby
causing a cloud of despondency to
hang over the land tie silver min
er instead of losing energy, beset
himself to the search for gold. Those
who had spent. a lifetime in pros
pecting for silver mines, turned
their attention to the search for
gold, with the result that the great
gold camps of Cripple Creek, Tono-
pah and Goldfield, were discovered
and millions upon millions of dollars
were extracted therefrom.
The war now being waged in Eur
ope that demands gold to meet their
obligations, has stimulated the search
for this metal, and new discoveries
are made almost daily in the deep
workings of the old and reliable Gill
pin and Clear Creek countyis gold
mines, and in the Cripple Creek dis
triot, Teller county, where their deep
est workings reveal larger and rich
er ore than any encountered at the
surface. In northern and southern
Utah, the old abandoned diggins have
been revived and large returns are
sv1rx r.
ings. At Tonopah, Goldfield and
Bullfrog, Nevada, comes reports of
ore of wonderful richness being dis
covered in their deepest workings,
recently discovered in the deepest
workings OF the Jumbo Extension
mine at Goldfield. From southeast
California also comes reports of
rich gold ores found at depth of
over 1000 feet These strikes found
in the deepest gold mines explored,
is proof that our great fissure veins
extend downward to unknown depths
and that gold and silver mining is
but in its infancy.
In all the above mentioned places,
there is renewed activity and mining
stocks are soaring on the market. as
we'll as capital flowing into the coun-
try seeking investment. The coming
year should be one of great activity in
Gilpin county where the gold mines
have been worked for half a cen
tury without signs of exhaustion.

KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
Il ENTERTAINMENT

The opera house was crowded last
Friday evening with members and
friends OF the knights OF Pythias to
enjoy the free entertainment pro-
vided by the lodge in form of motion
pictures and an address by Grand
Chancellor Schriebor. MIR. Schrieb-
er's address was grand and inspir-
ing oratorical effort, one of the best
fraternal talks ever ieard in Gilpin
county. He is an orator who ranks
in ability far above those engaged
in fraternal work and his discourse
was closely followed by his auditors
from his opening statements to his
masterful peroration.
He reviewed with pleasing voice
and faultless delivery the forming of
the order, its purposes and it's later
history. The knights of Pythias is
a brotherhood organized to dissem-
mate the principles of friendship.
charity and benevolence and was
foelded On Feb. 18th. 1864, in Wash
ing.on, D. c., by Justus Henry Rath-
, bone. Since its inception the order
has enjoyed a wonderful growth I'M
, til today its stands as one of the
leading fraternal and benevolent
'se1Nties of the country The theme
upon which the fabric of the society
rests is the story of Damon and
Pythias, exemplifying friendship even
unto death. The story of Damon and
Pythias, though old and often retold,
| is as beautiful in sentiment today as
when the scenes around which the
story is woven were first enacted.
Damon and Pythias (properly,
Phintias) were two illustrious SYRIA
cusans, celebrated as models of con-
slant friendship. Phintias had been
unjustly condemned to death by Di-
onysius the Younger, tyrant of Sic
lily, but obtained permission to ar
range his affairs in a neighboring
place on condition that his friend
should remain as a pledge of his re-
turn. Damon surrendered himself at
the prison, ready to suffer death in
stead of Phintias il he did not re-
turn at a certain time. Unexpected
impediments detained him. Damon,
still fully convinced of the faithful
ness of his friend. was on the way
to the place of execution, and the
people began to murmur and to pity
his credulity, when Phintias sudden
ly rushed through the crowd into the
arms of his friend. While they de-
mand each to die for the other. Di-
onysius himself approaches, pardons
them, and entreats them to admit
him a third in their friendship.
A free dance followed the enter
tainment at the opera house, in the
X. Of P. hall, which was largely at
tended. The people of the county
are loud in their praises of the hos
pitality of the Knights of Pythias
and wish their noble order continued
growth and prosperity.
