operation the patient has been making
rapid progress toward recovery.
Langdon people have the spring
fever cleanup epidemic in so virulent
a form that it is hardly deemed ad-

' Wheat sowing is practically over.
This year the acreage sown is larger
than ever, principally owing to the
large amount of summer fallow and
the fall blowing. Here in this county
sowing wheat practically got its start
on Easter Monday, April 5th, and
with a large number of farmers the
last kernel of this seasons wheat
crop was in the ground on the 18th of
the month. Farmers are a lot further
ahead with their springs work this
year than they have been for many
seasons in the past.

AMONG THE MINES
EUREKA AND SENATOR MINES

The Eureka mine at the head of
line of Central City, John c. Jen-
kins, manager, made a shipment of
three cars of ore last week, two of
which were treated at the Globe
smelter at Denver, and the other at
the local mills. Car No. / consisted
os two classes of concentrates, the
first class returning 1912 ozs gold,
81 ozs. silver and 1870 lead. The sec
ond class returned l or. gold, ozs.
silver and go copper. This ore was
broken and hoisted by two men in
two weeks. Car No. was smelling
ore from the McAllister lease and
returned 2 ozs. gold, 25 ozs. silver to
the ton. This car was mined and
hoisted in three days by two men,
one chunk of smelling ore being shot
from the stope that weighed over
seven tons. Car No. of 20 tons
was mill dirt, and was treated at the
local mills and returned 3 ozs. gold
per cord.
The Senator mine operated through
the National tunnel below Black
Hawk, John Jenkins owner and DAILY
and company lessees shipped to the
Globe smelter this week one car of
concentrates of % tons, in two clas-
ses. The first class of tons re-
turned 2.77 ozs. gold, 27.4O ozs silver
and 531A &c lead. The second class
returned 1.16 ozs. gold, 80 ozs. silver,
90 copper and 1895 lead to the ton.
These mines little over a year ago
were idle through Incompetent man
agement, and remained so until Mr.
Jenkins assumed charge, and through
his competent management, has
brought them to the front as two of
the great producers of the county
and verifies the assertion often made
by the Observer, that mining when
placed In competent hands is the
most profitable industry in which cap

deeply and closely connected with the

individual soul should be of equal in

JITNEY BUSES

At Denver, certain interests have
managed to stand off the plan to put
on "utney busses," but they will
come in time. No doubt it will hurt
the Tramway company, and that will
be too bad. because, after all is said,
the street car system at Denver has
always been in advance of its time.
But one may not hope to withstand
the inexorable DEGREES of fate, and
one of these is that progress must
sweep onward as do the tides of
ocean. When the explosive light gas
oline engine was invented, the COM
ing of the selfmoved vehicle and the
flying machine were as certain as
the shining of the stars when the
clouds lift at night. The multiplied
tion of cheap grade automobiles opens
the way to cheap street transporta-
tion. He who opposes it is as stub
born as Mother Partington with her
broom attempting to sweep back the
rising sea from her doorstep.
The jitney bus is an automobile
chartered to run on certain streets,
charging a scent fare. II gets the
name from that circumstance, the
nickel. or scent piece, having u col
loquial name of 'jitney." The jitney
bus is said to have cut down street
car earnings at Los Angeles q mil
lion dollars last year. and made mon
ey. Now they are being introduced
at San Francisco for transportation
to the exposition grounds, and at
Kansas City.-Colorado Springs Tele-
graph.
The jitney bus. like the automobile
and flying machine, has come to stay.
Why should the people be deprived of
this pleasurable mode of travel, SIM
ply because 1t conflicts and inter
feres with the business of that giant
octopus styled, tramway corporations,
who spend thousands of dollars an
nually in trying to evade their just
taxes. AS We said before, the jinty
bus has come to stay. and all tram
way corporations must prepare to re-
ceive 1t as their competitor in tie
future.

o. B. Wilmarth of Idaho Springs,
Newhouse tunnel, was in town Tues
day looking over the surface work
ings OF that once famous mine. Mr..
Wilmarth has all the earmarks of
the ambitious man so much needed
among us to bring mining to a sue
cessful termination, and open up the
vast mineral deposits that lie on eth.
er side of the deep tunnels that pen
citrate our rich-laden fissures 1000
feet beneath the surface. He began
work Jan. /. to clean up and repair
the lateral driven from the tunnel
to point vertically beneath the old
surface shaft. He saved all debris
that had fallen from roof of drift
that contained mineral and milled it
at the local mills and was surprised
to learn that it returned $50 per ton.
We are informed that there is 100
feet of this stope that contains this
class of ore. ready to stope and that
being the case, the Prize should soon
become a self supporting mine. The
distance from tunnel to surface is
l,40O feet, the surface shaft is $50
feet deep, leaving 450 feet to upraise
and connect. Timbers are now be-
ing put in place to start the upraise.
and they have streak of smelling
ore one foot in width showing at the
place of commencement. This mine
was not only a rich. but heavy pro-
ducer of ores in early days. and we
have no doubt that large bodies of
rich ores will be encountered in the
upraise. The shaft will be two com
partment, one side to be used for
ores and the other for manway.
When the old workings are reached.
virgin ground will be opened up in
the old levels that produced hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
past. MIR. Wilmarth after a thorough
examination of the surface ground
OF the Prize and the surrounding
rich mines, Is fully convinced that
the Prize mine will prove a prize in
reality.
