A fow weeks ago Tue Ber had the good fortune to secure an interesting interview with William H. Root, of Laramie, W. T., concerning the new mining development in the Brame) mining distriot, and yesterday through the courtesy of Mr. G* H. Hildreth, the mining recorder of that district, the following additional particulars were obtained concerning THE NEW ELDORADO “*Bramel m g district in which the town of Cummins is situated, was oatablished April 16th 1880, at which time quite a local excitement was cro- ated by the finding of free gold quartz cropping out on the surface of the the ground. 'Siuce that time 1,000 claims have been located and record- ed, a number of which have been worked and sufficiently developed to prove the richness and permanency of the veins and deposits, Like most mining camps, Cummins has had its drawbacks to contend with, The majority of the claima were owned by poor miners and pros- pectors, unable themselves to work their property, and without sufficient influence to induce capital, bui conti- dent of the great value of their pos- scesions, they held on, unwilling to part with their clams for a mere song, as such vast deposits of the precious metals could not long remain without attracting attention from abroad. winter Messrs, J. jin 0 son, of Denver, men § y fortunes in mines, and having seen some specimens of the rich ores of the district, came here under the auspices of John Cummins; founder of the town bearing his name. Their exam- ination resulted in the purchase of six mines, employing a number of miners to take out the ore, and they are now in the east purchasing reduc- tion works and the most improved mills for crushing the ores, Some of the most prominent mines outside of those owned by companies and being worked, are the BELMONT, owned by Measrs. Miller & Lyons; shaft down about 20 teet shows free gold, assayed at surface $17 in gold, and 2 ounces silver to the ton. The FOXHALL, owned by Moore & Hildreth, is an extension of the Belmont and is the same character of ore, The SHELL ROCK, owned by Leavens & Haynes, is al- most pure galena, 6 foot vein between well defined walls, The EUREKA, owned by Messrs. Root & Smith, isa vast deposit of copper stained rock, running 60 ounces 1 silver to the ton, with a small percentage of gold. Several companies have organized and started to work, The town is crowded with new comers, a hotel 100 feet front by 60 deep has just been completed and two saw mills have been built and are turning out lum- ber to their utmost capacity. Ihe U. P. railroad company are building a branch railroad from their main line to this point, thirteen miles of which are already completed, and a bcom is oxpected here this summer which will ba rivaled only by the great corbonate at Leadville, There was never a mining camp so favorably situated, only thirty miles south of the Union PacMic railroad, connected by a good wagon road and accessible at all times during the year. A line of Concord coaches has been placed on the road from Cummins to Laramie aud a project is on foot for another line to Tie Siding. The latter on being nearest will be the favor- ;to route with eastern people coming here. 3 S “ROUGH ON RATS.” The thing desired found at last, Ask druggist for “Rough on Rats.” Tt clears out Tats, mice, rouches, fios, bed bugs; Loe ox o WILLIAM GENTLEMAN T EXE 16th Street Grocer, '8 HEADQUALTERS FOR STAPLE & FKN‘JY GROOERIES, Lemons and Oran ses, Choice Batter and Eggs b BPEC ALTY, dis worla’s gupuluuhun will lie to me, steal my cabbages, frow stones at my GIVE HIM A CALL.
