LEGITIMATE MINING rAYS

We have repeatedly declared that
as safe and legitimate a business as
any other line of industry, and Of
fers greater and more rapid profits
than can be found in any other leg
itimate business.
Bradstreet and Dunn estimate that
800 of those who engage in merchan
tile or manufacturing pursuits event
ually fail, as against $50 of those who
engage in legitimate mining. We wish
to be distinctly understood that
there is a vast difference between
practical and economic mining, and
wildcat mining. The former is con-
Quoted along lines OF prudence and
sound judgment, while the latter is
conducted by mining shark pro-
moters, who are no more conversant
with mines and mining, than the
prodigal sons of Adam are with the
contents of the family bible, and it
is to this class that much of the od-
ium to mining is due. When cap
ital invests in one of our gold mines
and has the sagacity to employ a
competent superintendent and pract-
ical miners. their efforts are nearly
always crowned with success.
Ex-U. S. Senator VIM. NJ. Clark,
the millionaire banker OF Butte, Mon
tana, when a youth, laid the found
alton for his colossal fortune from
the gold mines of Gilpin county, and
Throughout his successful career has
ever adhered to mining. The late
Thomas Walsh made his millions
from the gold mines of Colorado, by
exercising judgement and personally
directing the work. Let capital in
vest in our mines and allow their in
terests to be worked with Judgement
and economy, and they will soon
have a dividend paying mine that
will yield greater and more speedy
returns than in any other line of bust.

BURROUGHS AND KANSAS MINE

Manager Sayre af the Burroughs,
Kansas and other Quartz hill mining
properties, cut in the Newhouse tun-
nel, informs us that the Pike Leas
ing company. who recently obtained
q lease on the Burroughs vein in the
tunnel are driving their drift with
Two eight hour shifts, and are now
n distance of over 100 feet from
the tunnel. The breast of drift shows
a streak of mineralized ore in the
matrix from three to four feet wide,
and is within 100 feet of being direct
~ under the ore shoot that produced
largely in high grade ores from its
surface workings in early days. On
the Kansas vein, also cut in the tun-
mel. a lease operated by the Kansas
AMlorpation and Leasing company, has
been closed down nearly all of the
month affecting a reorganization. The
ferTed from Mr.. Shermer to Mr..
Harger, manager of the Argo mill.
The breast of drift is now being driv-
eu ahead on a streak of mineralized
s7ra five feet wide. and is nearing
the vertical where large bodies of
rich ore was taken out on the sur
face in former days. The Pozo
Leasing company operating on the
Pozo vein. cut in the tunnel, are sink
ing a winZe below the tunnel level,
outside of their vein and intend to

depth is reached. This set of les

The Lake mine also operated by Mr.
Sayre through the Big Five tunnel
at its 2,300 foot workings, and
through tunnels No. and No. from
surface, near the head of Virginia
canon. has a force of five men en-
ployed driving the tunnel ahead on
a streak of high grade smelling ore
from II to 4 feet wide. Tunnel No

ed for distance of over a thousand
feet. Work is now going on, driv-
ing ahead on a streak of quartz show
ing mineral. On No. tunnel a
local pool Is now being formed to
drive the breast of the tunnel a
greater distance into Pewabic noun
tain.
At the 2,30O foot workings in the
Big Five tunnel the product is stead
ily increasing, and these workings
now output nearly $1,000 worth of
ore per day. A lease has recently
been let on an additional block of
ground below the tunnel level and
sinking on winze No. 2 begun. No.
l winze. down some 80 feet shows a
streak of high grade ore six feet
wide, and proves beyond the shadow
of a doubt that Gilpin county's i'm

being made as fast as new ground
is opened, and the Lake mine is as
sured of a season Of great prosperity.

FIFTY PROPERTIES
WILL OPERATE

1t now appears an assured fact
that the mines and mill of the big
Fifty corporation, located in Black
Hawk, would resume operations at an
early date. John b. Selvidge, who
has been working on the proposi-
tion the past year or more, has fin
ally gotten affairs in shape so that
something may be done with the
property. Mr.. Selvidge was in town
this week, accompanied by Louis L.
Davis, representing eastern capital,
and Arthur j. IIoskin, a prominent
mining engineer. The gentlemen Wis
tied the mines and mills and invest
igated the big mill and the surface
equipment OF the mines.
The plan is to start work of re-
modelling the mill at once, and it was
this purpose that brought Mr.. Hoskin
to the county. 1t is the intention to
prepare the mill for the handling of
custom ores while the Cook and 9TH
er mines OF the Fifty group are be-
ing put in shape for production. Ar
rangements have been made to run
the Gipin tram to the mill to haul
the ore OF mines on the line of the
railroad. The Bates tunnel, which
has caved at both ends, will be clear
ed to permit of the transportation
of ore hauled by wagons and unloaded
at the mouth of the tunnel on Greg
ory street. From here the ore will
be hauled through the tunnel to the
mill bins by the electric motors used
for years before the mill ceased OPP
erations
A sampling plant is among the i'm
provements contemplated by the new
company, to be located at the mill.
ed outright from the producer The
system of purchasing ores will be
similar to that in vogue by the Argo
mill in Idaho Springs. Mr.. Hoskin.
who went into the milling end of the
proposition thoroughly. is satisfied
that with what changes he has in
view in the equipment OF the plant,
he viii be able to treat ore running
as low as $500 a ton and return
profit to the miner. He figures that
he can bring the efficiency of the
mill up to a point where he can make
saving of at least 500. The hand
ling of the low grade ores of Gilpin
county at a profit to the producer
would insure an endless output of
mill dirt, and even though the Fiji
ty mill has capacity of 400 tons
day, it would be taxed to the utmost
to handle the custom ore, saying
nothing of the enormous quantity
that could be outputted by the mines
of the Fifty group
The Fifty mill was always regard.
ed as one of the very best in the
Gilpin and Clear Creek district and
the closing down of this plant was
the cause of numerous mines suspend
ing operations that could be operated
at a profit when the Fifty mill was
running. The three gentlemen who
were here this week looked into the
possible production of the camp and
were given every assurance by the
miners that If they started up the
mill and bought ores outright. they
need not fear that the production of
ore would fall short of the capacity
of the mill. There is an unlimited
quantity of ore of far better than a
$500 grade in Gilpin county, and
when the miner is returned profit
on his output, there will be no short
age of production.

American Literature.

''1f one were asked what is the dom- life, the answer would be youthful ness;' but this youth chas attained all the vices of age, and has conserved a few of the charms proper to it's period. It is very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish- ness is nnhealthy;r more, it is de- prayed. These boyish boys and girl ish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications of a real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in portraying them the writers and illus trators are describing something which is as true as it is detestable The cult of youthfulness in America Is a national calamity, far graver than anything for which Europe has to mourn Youth has nothing to give life but it's energy; it has even less to give literature, for literature is an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail ing of petty gossip about petty peo- pie; and when this youthful energy is divorced from the control of ma turity nobody can benefit from it ex- cept the middle-aged woman for whom American literature is now be- ing written."-James Stephens in the Century.

Cable quota tlons, too, were against the bears. s After opening unchanged to 1 1-2c up, prlces reacted little, but again turned upgrade.
 Delays to planting and to deliver les from first hands tended to lift tas. price of corn. Besides, damage reports from Iowa continued. The opening, which ranged from 1-4@ l-Sc higher, was followed by an in- teryal of steadiness at the advance.
 uats took the same course as other cereals. The volume Of trade was only fair.
 Lower prices for hogs weakened provisions. Transactions were chief ly in pork.
 subsequently, weakness developed wheat, owing to bearish crop oplnlons from southwestern railroad sources. There were also advances .aat shipments of new wheat from Isxas had begun. The close was u'avy at 7-S@4c under last night.
