The southwestern part Of San Juan
county Promises to be one Of our ac-
tive sections during the coming sea-
son. 1t embraces the Ice Lake basin
district and South Mineral creek above
the falls. In the basin, under the di-
rection of Manager ]. A. McCrim-
mon the Emma with its strong vein
of rich galena, which runs high in
silver and is most desirable smelling
ore, is rapidly rounding into a very
promising mine. The vein holds its
size and values with remarkable uni
formity and gains depth and stop
ing area very rapidly as the workings
advance into the steep mountain. This
is most pleasing feature and one
that goes far in verifying the claim
of the management as to its posi-
bilities. Mr.. McCrimmon is also pay
ing considerable attention to the
cyaniding veins which are very plenti-
full in that section and hopes to have
matters moving in that line early in
the spring. To that end he has Sc
cured options on several properties
and is now in Denver laying the mat
ter before some capitalists he is en-
deavoring to interest in the project
Several tests have proven that the
ores of these veins are amenable to
the cyanide process.
In South Mineral, Billy Sullivan
will likely operate the Cataract vein
of the Bandora group in which dur
ing the past summer opened up a
large pay streak of exceptionally high
grade silver ore. If he can secure
smelling he is trying to obtain he will
work the Bandora vein proper in
which over 100000 worth Of ore is
in sight and ready for extraction.
Across the gulch from the Bandora
the Heindel brothers have we'll de-
veloped vein Of the same kind Of ore.
All should be shipping. Judson Clev-
enger is preparing to work his group
and Dan Pettijohn is preparing to
quite extensively develop a very val
uable group just this side of the Ban
dora.
There are many more valuable
claims which will likely respond to
the music of the hammer, drill and
pick during the season, from all Of
which good results will surely be re-
corded.-Silverton Standard.
At mass meeting of the farmers
of Montezuma county held in Cortez
last Saturday resolutions were adopt
ed censuring the d. & R. G. for what
was designated as "its antiquated, in
human. and unprogressive policy"
and its "prohibitive passenger, ex-
press and freight rates, and miserable
service" which had restricted the
growth and development Of the coun-
try and made it impossible to attract
homeseekers and homemaking peo-
pie. These wrongs, the resolutions
set forth, serve to oppress and injure
the people Of this country to such an
extent as to demand the assistance Of
national representatives in congress
and sweeping investigation Of exist
ing conditions by the state utilities
commission is requested on the part
of the officials.
The new Lloyd Sheets residence
