e e e e et e S et ¥ e LEADVILLE'S STREAK GFLUCK @old Discovered Within a Few Blocks of Her Main Thoroughfare. FIRST PAY GOLD IN THE DISTRICT Agriferons Belt Proven to Extend Farther n Hud Been Anticipated—A Big strike 1n Texns — General Northwestern News, The first work of the new year has opencd with a genuine surprise in the local mining world, says the Leadville Herald-Democrat We have talked considerably about s gold belt and silver belt, and the theory has been that the formor did not extend west of the Mike fault. From a remarkable discovery, however, made during the past week, it would appear that the lines of the two belts merge 1nto each other, and that our silver. producing urea is quite as much a gold pro- ducer. From developments in the ground of the Indiana Mining company, usually known as the Wolcott, it would appear that not only are there silver and lead deposits beneath the city, but gold as well The o) up of a large body of gold ore in a shaft six blocks from the avenue is certainly lmiportant and significant. {n ovder that our readers may understand Just what has been accomphshed atthe property of the Indiana Mining company, it will be necessary to describe the progress of the new work there. Work was first in- augurated through a small shaft, known as the Wolcott shaft, snd pushed out toward the west. The ore was found at the bottom of the shaft, 221 feet from the surface, the upper porphyry being apparently scoured away. [Following certain stringers of ore to the west, the geological indications all scemed 10 poiut to a body of ore furthér on. This proved to be correct, for, auring the sum- mer, 4 iarge chute was opened up, averaging seven ounces of silver, 30 per centlead, .03 gold and 18 excess ron, The ore was dipping west, and narrowed to a small fissure again Reason from the geological conditions that hiad already been aetermined by actunl exploration work, the inference was perfectl proper that the ore body would again widen out into alarge chute, and would gain rich- ness with dept In orde ate this, however, it was decined necessury to sink a new shaft. Found Pay Gold. The new sha known as the Esther shaft, and has r { a total depth of 267 feot. with strong indications of ore in the bottom. At 257 feet a drift was run off to the southeast, for fifty feet, cutting the iron rontact, which was dipping about forty-two dogrees, A raise of thirty-five feet was here made, connecting with the old stoves, tho ore of which has averaged about eight ounces silver and 0 per cont lead, At the top of the raise theore stands fif ot bottom of the raise, at the 257-foot drifting toward the east, there has been opencd up three feet of ore, runmng sixty- five ounces in silver, 11 per cent lead and one ounce in gold. The bottom of this body has not been discovered, but.it is still dipping. This discovery would be important enough in itsclf, for the ore, without the gold, is ver rich. It would also be important as proving the correctness of the theories on which the work was based. As was stated once before, in almost ¢ ton of ore or iron mined in the district gold is found, but it cansot be worked toly or apart from the silver. Her have, however, a substantial gold-beartng aeposit that is & money making provosition in itself. From present indications this ore is dipping directly under the shaft, which will_probably be sunk deeper, in order to cateh the chute at o lower level. The ore in the face of the drift has been very carefully tested, and the average assays are whal have already been given. The development of the new ore body will be prosecuted with sigor and thoroughness, in order to determine the size, extent and continuity of this gold-bearing deposit. Righ Pasture On the high mesas or plateaus immodiately surrounding Lake City, Colo., is pasturage for 200,000 head of cattle. The grasses on these high as or intermountain table lands are of luxuriant growth, impelled by the.July and August rains, which rains are as veliable in this country and as beneficial fn their effect as are the famous Chinook rains on the camas (or quamash) prairies of Tdaho. The canons in the mountains of the west- ern slope grow wild as fine a variety of wil- Jow, says the Colorado Sun, as has ever been used in the manufacture of buskets or wicker work. Here are opportunities for a new industry. “The excellence of wild growth of raspber- ries, blackberries and strawberries in the sheltered glens and dales of southwestern Colorndo suggest flelds for the growers of domestic small fruit. The copius midsummer rains of the west slope have fostered the growth of flowers with rare, wonderful and exquisite per- fumes, in the high altitudes, that would give an opening to enflowerage that would Dresorve odors that would delight the most critical of Russian connoisseurs. stent prospecting in the remotest of the silvery San Juan since tha discovery of the Ute and Uluy mines in_ 1871 bas doveloped the fact that the territory surrounding Salt - Lake City is unusually rich 1n a varicty of ores. ‘These comprise cube and steel galena, gray, black and ye low coppers, white, yellow and red irons, and quartz. The rarer ores and minerals are represented in a arioty of tellurides, weluding mellerite and petzite, brown oxide of iron, mispickel and plebiscite. Hinsdale county mines are rich in gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc, Frazer River Fisherlos, Westminister's chief source of wealth, the salmon fisheries of the Fraserriver, yielded during 1503 the largest roturus in the history of the industry, 1t was a “‘lugh mark" year, the pack reaching u total of nearly half a million cases of forty-eight caus each, or about 23,000,000 one-pound tins. Twenty'six anneries were operated, employing over 1,000 boats and about 5,000 fishermen and dannery hands during tho season, says the San Francisco Examiner. One hundred and fifty thousand fathoms of gill nots were sed in fishing, the vaiue of which is close on $115,000, Six new canneries were erected aud operatod during tho year. The pack of the Fraser river canneries, together with the exports of fresh, salt and smoked salmon, and the total of the north- rn pack, are as follows: Fraser river pack, 474,8582; northern pack, 143.470; grand total for British Columbia, 607,852 ' The Fraser river pack of 1802 was 82,112 cases and the northorn pack 160,280 cases. Fraser river salmon exportea fresh, 000 pounds. n comparing the Frasor river salmon packs of 1802 and 1893 i should be borne in mind that 1503 was what is known as an soff" and the pack 1n consequence was excoedingly light and away below the age of ordinary years, though consider o than the previous “off” year, n 3 fourth year on the Fraser river vhe run of salmon is very small, owing to somo causo which has not yet been fully ex- ined 1t has been remarked, however, that since the establishment of the hatchery the run in “oft" years hus Deen steadily improving. This may ba due to the work of the hateh- ery, and again it may not. Both fishermen and cannors are divided on the question. The total value of the Fraser salmon fish- evics for the year 1803 will aggrezato some: thing over $2,500,000, which considerably ex- coeds all former records. Gold Mines at Amizett. At present about 200 people are employed in the Amizett district, and newcomers are daily swelliug the number, says the Santa Fo New Mexican. Development work is boing carnestly pushed in the Goli King, Navajo, Berry and Lillian claims, located on Gold “ill, apd ull are showing woll. A tun- nel has beon driven 150 feet on the Gold King and a contract has beon let for 100 foet more. This is the oldest location in tho camp and is furnishing sufticient free millivg gold rock to keap the five-stamp mill on the ground in operation day aud night. The ore 80 fur run through bas netted §20 per ton, but, as careful tests recontly made in Den vor and Pueblo have shown from $40 to #4985, it 18 belleved that the mill will disclose b ter results in the future. Gerson (Gusdorf has just returned to Santa Fe from Denver, whither he went to confer with his associates in the Navajo, and while in town, he recoived news that a five foot vein of honey-combed quartz had been struck in the 100-foot tuonel now being driven on the property. 1ad Lusk Opals. 1t has doveloped that one Kd Fleming, who had charge of the [daho opal exhibit at the World's fair, and who figured as a large opal mine owner at Opatine. is & fugitive from justice from California, where he duped many people in somo cactus hedge fence speculation under the nameof E.\W.

A Protected Boar, When I was in the Yellowstone park o Wyoming valley man toa New York S reporter, one of the gam told me About a bear that worried a ¢ Jf govern- ment soldiers almost to desperation for severnl we 8. Late one night a bear wadaled into camp, ripped oben a tent, p the soldiers to flight, got what he wanted to eat and went away T'he next night the bear came round again, smashed down a tent and st a smoked ham Under the park rules. the soldiers were prohibited from firing at the thievish brute as woll as from jabbing a bayonet into hum, and the only thing they couid do when the bear appeared and went to helping himself to rations was to get out of the way Nightafter night the bold beast made a raid on the camp and ruined a tentor two, M mformant said that the bear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't fire at him, and that on each visit he became more and destructive than before. Whe bear's raids had become unbearable c sent t facts to the secretary of the interior and asked what to do. Word me back to shoot the bear, and that nignt when Bruin strode boldly into camp the soldiers put an end to his career by riddling him with bullets. Goid Craze at El Paso. Another rich gold strike 1s reported in the Black mountains, northof El Paso, Tex., says a special to the Denver Times. The strike was made in the Mormon lode at the 200-foot level, where the vein has widened to five feet of solid ore which is almost yeilow f{1th gold. ' The whole camp went wild over , s it proves beyond question that the dis- trict is permancnt, and the veins enla carry more gold the deeper they go. Il Paso has the gold craze, and many are leaving for the gold fields. Lost Placors Found.

A party of surveyors isat work on the Bear_creek road west of Colorado Springs, and it is rumored that it is the first step towards the construction of a railrond from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek. 1t is also suid that J.J. Hugerman is behind the pro- ject. There is a zood toll road over the route, which would be foilowed if this report is true. There would be but little grading, and the ascent would bo cven easier than that of the Midland. Bear Creek canon starts immediately west of the city, be- tween Manitou and Cheyenne canon. To Try n New Vrocess. The Chicago and Cripple Creek company, which 15 driving the big tunnel into Globo hill, has let a contract for_the building of a new process tunnel near the mouth of thoir tunnel in Poverty gulch, says the Denver Times. The new process is the discovery of William A. Koneman, formerly connected with the Durango smelter and the Rico Aspen mine. The mill will cost £50,000 and will have a capacity of 100 tons per day. Ore mining as low as $ per ton can be treated profitably. There is one vein of $10 ore i the Chicago and Cripple Creeks tunnel which is_forty-five feet 1n width. This im- mense body of low grade ore is very refrac- tory, but the patentee of the new process is confident that it can be treated successfully. Mammoth Ore Boulder, The Butto Miner reports that C.

The boulder weighed between 600 and 1,000 tons and assayed 125 ounces in_silver per ton and 60 per cent lead. The men who purchased it will clear about 210,000 on the deal. Under the direction of “Black Jack" the huge rock 13 being broken up and shipped to the Selby smelter at San Francisco.

They were a dejected lookiug crowd, and were sullen and morose when approached by questioners. “The end of the Hollanders' Colorado ox- perience then, is at hand. Their carcer in the state was marked by vicissitudes which seldom fall to the lot of colonists. Agents of T. C.

A Hunter's Despi rato Fight The Alliance Grip tolls of an adventure of J. R. Phelan, division superintendent of the | B. & M., whilo hunting in Wyoming. He ahot at & buck 100 yards off and mado a hit. Phelan pulled out his knife and started for his victim, setting nis_gun against a tree without reloading it. No sooner had he liv onw the buck than he realized he had a fight ou his hands, and without delay the only thing to do was to fight the battle. He caught the buck by the horns, and at times Phelan was on top and tnen on the bottom. For a time the buck scemed to have the best of it. Phiclan thought his day had come and realized that his jack knifo wouldu't save him. The only thing to do was to et his gun, which for a time seemed impossibie. Soon an opportunity presented itself and the gun was reached. With the buck on one side of the troe and Phelan and his gun on the other there was sharp dodging for a fow moments, Finally Pliclan got car tridges 1nto his gun and at the second shot downed the buck. Very few clothes and but little wind was left after the fight was over, Waonderfal Gold Saver. Rovert J. Anderson of Minneapolis has been ut Duluth the past few days in confer- ence with stockholders in the Columbia lacer company, of which he1s the head, and which inciudes several of Duluth's and Minneapolis' prominent men, says a special to the St. I Dispateh He says the ma- chine which the mpany be n operating in November, at Pasco, Wash., for the ex- traction of gold from gravel forming a bar in the Columbia river, is prooing un im- mense success, making a net profit of $1.000 per twenty-four hours. Thisand other river bars in the Rockies, contuining thousands of acres of gravel mixed with gold, are unwork- aple by byaraulic methods, and only a China- man can afford to use the pan and rocker in them. He says this machine is bound to revolutionize the gold mining industry. By it gold wmining is removed as far from specu- lation as 1s any mercantile pursuit. Knised Potatoes on Granite, At the recent Farmers institute in Visalia, Cal,, says the Times of that city, the discus- sion’ wis running on the possibilities of sandy soil, when the question was asked: ““Does pure granite contain ths necessury nutriment for vegetation?'

At the Mirst Presbyterian church last | night Rev.J. M. Patterson commenced the discussion of the lettors written by tho young ien of the city in answer to his letter of inqulry as to the reasons commonly assigned by young men for not atiending church Mr. Patterson said that he had received a great many lottors in response to his in quiry, Hosaid it was his purpose to discuss these letiers in o dispassionate way in the hope that both the church and tho young men might be benetited At the very out set he entered & disclaimer. fe declared that this discussion was not inspired by conviction that a larger proportion of the young men of this generation are out of syi pathy with the churches than of former gen- ations, “Young Man Power' Recognizeds He declared that he belioved the churches of the country had more young men than ever before.” Tho church today recognizes tho “young man power.” Whilo he did not admit any growing trend of the young men away from the churches, yot he recongut the fact that many young men seldom, if ever, attend divine services, A traveling man, answering a letter @ inquiry, said: “Most of them (traveling men) are shrewd enough to know that any reason they might attempt to give would bo inconsistont with common sense. “But,” said Mr. Patterson, “I shall not assume that any of the reasons assigned unreasonable, exeept such us are mani the work of cranks.” Not a few of his correspondents said the, could not_attend church because they were compelled to work on Sunduy. Mr. Patterson was glad to believe that very few men desired to work on Sunday It is the greed of corporations and the tyranny of the public that compels men to work. The man who compels aunother broak God's law assumes an awful responsi bility. The only safeguard of the Sabbath is its sauctity.

Complained of Dull Proactiors. Several correspondents declared in :u_h» stunce that preachers were dull and stupid Said Mr. Patterson: “Wo plead ‘guilty You know the saying of good Anar Fuller concerning some preachers—Oh, the holiness of their iving and the painfulness of their preaching’—and you have heard of men afthcted with msomua sending fc preacher und asking him to bring a sermon along to put him to sleep. 1 know there aro some men who make as good preachers the Irishman made a marksman—he aimed at nothing and hit it every time. The young men believe (and I agree with them) that a minister’s tirst duty is to preach and that fifty pastoral calls with tea sipping and baby kissing thrown in won't atone for dull s mons on Sunday. [ believe that the pulpiv is sometimes very dull. I belicve the pulpit must be practical. Indeed I belicve that the church for the times must study the everyday necds of the people. The time for doctrinal preaching is past. We live in a practical age. The church must be practical or die. But 1t should be remembered that the church exists for a higher end than a the- ater. Its business is to make men, not merely to amuse and entertain men. How- ever, [ imagine that among all the churches any one who really desires to attend church will find a preacher who will both entertain and instruct and elevate. ‘Compelled 10 go when young,'say someof my friends, and 1 got d oA} You were compellea to work sometin when wanted to play; to study when you wanted to skate.

Sowing Wild Oats. “Many say in substanco that young men are sowing their wild oats and’ therefore cannot come. “Our jails and penitentiaries and alms houses and hospitals are filled with men ho insisted on sowing their wild oats. They are gathering the legitimate harvest front such a sced time. 1 hold public senti- ment largely responsible for the wild outs business. Somehow peovle think boys must play fast and loose with the moralities a while before they settle down to a moral or Christian life, An old man said, with airof gayety: ‘My boys always o to the Qevil first before they come around to tne Lord.” But do they always come arourd? I would to God they did. But, alus, where are the nine? When i young man sows his wild oats, as a rule his name is ‘leabod,’ for his ‘glory hath departed.’ 1s Mere Habit, “Some declare that the only reason for staying out of the church is habit. Then break the habit. ‘T'urn over o new le Mr. Patterson closed by showing that the glory of the young man is his strength, cspe- cially his moral and spiritual strength, una that a great meaus of cultivating this glory was by going to church. Next Subbath evening Mr. Patterson will discuss the reasons which lie in the church to keep young men away. The interest developed during the weelk of prayer at the First Presbyterian church was s0 great that the congregation voted to con- tinue the meetings this week. A T DeWitt's Little Early Risers.
