STRIKE OF FABULOUS VALUE East Argentine Ore Aesaying Over §170,- 000 to the Ton. 7583 OUNCES GOLD AND 2499 SILVER New Gunnison ¢ Creek’s Big Mining 8 eral Western News. Thereported gold strike in 15 district is st Argentine ansing considerable oxcitement, ad made arrangements to go to ek und other gold camps have now abandoned the idea, as they believe they a better field nearcr home. Sam- ples of the ore returned 7,548 ounces in gold and 2,490 ounces silver to the ton and a fair pe *nt in coppe Ore 6f such phenomenal rictiness was never dreamed of in any loeality in Clear Creek county. The great revival in gold mining in Colo- rane is d to two causes. One is the opportune discovery of new gold deposits of great richness in several localities, The other is the rise in the price of gold, says the Denver Times. Gold mines having vast deposits of low grade ore, which were abandoned twenty years ago because they did not pay, are being opened in various parts of the state. It costs about half as much to work them now as at that timo and each ounce will now purchase twice as much of the staple commodoties as then. While labor has re- mained steady in price, improved mining ma- chinery and methods, cheapened transporta- tion and treatment, lessened cost of lving and of capital have enormousiy reduced the cost of lode mining. A gold mine which pro- duced §18 ore at a cost of $20 had to be shut down. But now that it produces §18 ore, worth &0 in purchasing power, at a cost of $0 it is a bonan, Nearly all the older mining regions of Colorado are fuil of such bonanzas, As soon as tho country understands the real situa- tion there will bo such a mining excitement as was never before known. 1t 18 no exaggeration to say that there is practically in sight in this state a thousand millions of low grade gold ore. 1t may cost £500,000,000 or §900,000,000 to take it all out, but it will furnish employment to hundreds of thousands and make busincss enough to give Denver 500,000 people. Cripple Creek alone cannot have less than £100,000,000 in its hills alrcady partially onenea. The great tunnel from Idaho Bprings under the moontain to beneath Cen- tral will take out several hundred millions from old and known veins. A dozen similar tunnels will bo bult in other localities. Many thousands of gold seams have been opened at periods and under conditions that offered no profit. Most of them will now ay. P &olorado's gold belt extends from Boulder, Manhattan in Larimer county and Hahn’s peak, with abroad sweep southwest to the corner of the state. richest gold field in the world. less have more gold than silver. The Dubols Camp, The maiden carload of ore from the Dubois camp has been shipped by way of sleds to Cebolla switch on the Denver & Rio Grande, Notwithstanding snow and cold weather many rich discoveries are made day after day. Prospectors and investors are pouring in over the scveral daily stage lines from Cebolla switch, Gunnison, Sapuero and Lake View. The bést and shortest route is via Cebolla switch througn the romantic canons of Cebolla. Tho protection afforded- by the high cliffs on civher sido against cold winds and storms is a great recommendation for the Carpenter sleigh line. Within the past two days some twenty-five lusty Ouray miners and investors havo set- tled here, The richest find thus far recorded 1s In the Gunnison lode, located on Wolf creek, which assayed to'the astounding figures of 2,005, OThe greatest detriment to the carfip, and which Is now receiving proper attention of the arbitration committee, is the tramp prospeotors or unlawful relocators, who are obstructing the development of several hundred claims in tao best localities. Big Mining Sult, ‘The biggest mining law suit of Cripple Creek will be over Battle mountain proper- uies. The Portland, Anna Lee, Doubtful, Queen of the Hills and several other claims are in the fight. Outside parties have made an attempt to secure control of the different conflicting imterests with the object of con- solidation; but up to date they have made 10 progress, says a correspondent of the Denver Times. The different individual owners say they will fieht for their claims in the courts before giving up from 50 to 75 per cent to the promotors of a consolidation Bcheme, he Anna Lee is sending fifty tons per day to the smeiters. The ofo is Jow grade, but thereis an immense body of it, This mine alone wiil ship $1,000,000° worth of ore this year if it is not tied up by litigation. The output of the mines for the first month of the new year will exceed in value that of December by at least 25 per cent. The number of strangers coming into camp is larger than ever, and all the hotels and boarding houses are crowded, The large rotunda and bar of the Palace hotel is crowded every night with miners, pros- pectors, capitalists und paupers, and all are talking mines, The Palace is doing a land office business, and without doubt it pays a larger dividend for the money invested than any mine of Cripple Creck. The Sloean Country, ' The history of the year 1893 in one mining region, the Slocan country, adds to the ac- cumulated arguments advanced by mining men in favor of the immediate establish- ment of a smelter at Spokane, says the Review, The year was marked by financial depression that was general and develop- ment was not pressed as it otherwise would have been, but the showing is & good ome. Just 1,162 tons of ore wore shipped in 1803, the roturns averaging 164 ounccs of = silver t the tonand 68 por cent lead. The figures are the sums total. While most of the ores run higher in lead, considerable dry ore has been ®hipped which contained no lead. At the wharves in Kaslo are 600 tons more awaiting shipment and at the mines and along the ‘wagon roads are 700 tous sacked and await- ing transportation. The total product of the Kuslo-Slocan mines for the year 1803 in round numbers is thus shown to be 2,402 tons of ore that will averaga at the present price of silver and lead $165 to the ton, or a total output of 406,230 worth. ‘The Kaslo-Slocan Exawminerestimates that 6,000 tons will be shipped from the Slocan country to the smelters of the United States during the present season. The Kxaminer belicves that the prospect for the future 1s brighter than ever. Fifteen diffecent mines are taking out ore at @ surprisingly rapid rate. At the Slocan Star, Mountain Chief, Freddie Lee, Idaho, Ruecau, Wellington, Washington, Blue Bird, Lucky Jim, Dardanelles, Antelope, Nobe Five and others, ore is sacked uwaiting trausportation and more is being mined. The mines at Valley are still in a posi- tion to put out all the iron ore needed for the purpose, and the friendly usttitude of Mr. Corbin is in 1tself a guarantee that ob- stucles in the way of its economical trans- portation will not defer the working of a smolter. The settlement of the Colville strip will open another tield that is said to berich in mineral. The Okanogan country and fifty or 100 other camps would be con- tributors, and Spokane is in such a location that successful competition for the butk of that trade 1snot a thing to be considered. The Seusation at Leadyille, In mining circles at Leadville the prin- eipal theme of convel ion is the wond, gold strike in the Esthershaft, owned by the Indisua Mining company, and located within six blocks of the heart of the city. A rich body of lead ore wus recently cut in the Capitol shaft of the Comwmercial Min- jug company. This ore carries gold in pay- ing quantities and is believed to be the northern extension of the gold-lead ore chute encounterea in the KEsther shaft. These two discoveries, i the opinivn of the Herald-Democrat, will lead 10 active pros- We dou It is tho largest and on the north. This covers quite an ex- tensive territory, and as lead and gold are equally desired nt the smelters the product will command the highest pricoes. In a few weeks several of the large con- tracts for iron ores will expire. As these were made at a loss to the smeltors, s not atall likely at al! will be renewed at onee. Without an increase in_quotations for lend and silver, the lead-silver ores, where the production of the white metal is heavy, will not be purchased largely by the smlieters, Henee the conelusion is” fair that the fron ores of Loadville will agaln be sought out and the present large production resumed. The A-Y and Minnle is employing fifty men at the mine and a double shift at tho concentrator, where the daily output of cighty tors of ore is reduced to twenty tons of concentrates. ‘The ore is a lead-sulphide, and is found in the upper levels. The water in the Maid 18 near the bottom level, s0 that prospecting hus commenced on the vertical fissure vein, This 1s very rich in both gold and silver, recont assays’ going us high as §1,500 por ton, the month of December the Maid ised 500 tons of copper-sulphide , the Wolftone 2,000 tons of sulphides, the rbonate 502 tons of carbonate, the Gray tons of earbonate and 2,850 tons of Add and a wotal of 7,758 Moffat-Smith mines. Gold Mine The excitement regarding the new gold discoveries in Folsom, Cal., continues, and in spite of threats John Cardwell will con- tinue his prospecting until compelled by the court to cense axcavations under Liedesdorf street. Ho has on oxhibition some fine nuggets from the drifting under tho street, says the Sun Francisco Examiner, and, h ing securcd permission from the Board of Supervisors to extend his operations, will not desist. Jacob Hyman, who claims to be agent for property on the street, says he will enjoin’ Cardwell, but has not done so yer. Many others aro now applicants for priviloges similar to Cardwell’s, and 1f he is not enjoined Liadosdorf street will soon be completely honeveombed. the iron lease for the 700 tons for wns is shown or the Street. To Tunnel the Siskiyous. The subject of the boring of a great tunnel through the Siskiyou mountains so as o re- lieve the road of the great expense of the miles of loop and high riountain grade neces- sary to get over this one of mature’s land- marks and formidablo obstructions to cheap and easy railroad transportation has been revived, says the Ashland (Ore.) Record. It will be' romembered that during the great railroad snow blockade of January, 1891, when the combined efforts of the Southern Pacitic system’s Jbest talent could not open this mountain for trains for five weeks, the Southern Pacific people had ovdered their engineers, as soon as they were through with their work in the Crow creck canon, to make a preliminary survey of this great en- terprise for a big hole through the Siskiyou mountains, The surveyor's camp was pre- pared and the surveying crew was at Ash- land ready to go to work, when they were suddenly ordered by wire to do some imme- diate work on the coast road in southern ifornia. The Southern Pacific has issued orders to all its surveying crows, who have been idle for months, to be ready for work a8 s00n as spring_ovens, commencing March 1, 1804, About the first work to be done will be preliminary survey, followed by a permanent survey by a different engineer, of this big tunnel. San Juan Gold Fields. Every day adds to_tho number of gold seekors on the San Juan, writes a corre- spondent to the Denver ‘Times. Two ma- chines are now at work about ono mile above town. A party is gathering specimens of mum- mies, etc., from the cliff dwellers' ruins for a New York historical society. Recently coal ofl, marvle and onyx have been discovered and some prospecting has been done to dotermine their value. Mondenhall & Dempsoy made a location on the oil land and intend to see what is in it. They also found some very rich placer ground, but don’t know yet how extensive it is. Mr. Brunner took some black sand to Durango and had it assayed. It averaged 250 per ton. ‘He is highly clated and is now going to save the sand. Another oamp has boen established eight miles below “Camp Cherokee.” They claim to have ground that beats any of the upper camps. The weather is pretty chilly, but there is no snow and_but_very little ice. The aays are unusually warm. Trouble With Claim Jumpers. A fight occurred last week between & party of claim jumpers and the Hawks brothers and some of their friends, in which A. M. Hawks received a severo cut under the left eye from a rock thrown at him. The trouble was started by a partyof claim Jumpers trying to jump the Larretta claim. Both sides are holding their own so far, but sinco the fight has occurred have armed themselves and bloodshed is expected, as both sides are determined to hold the property. During the fight bloodshed was probably averted by some disinterested parties ap- pearing on the scene with rifles, and when one of the Hawlks party drow a_ravolver and threatened to shoot the first man that drew arevolver, and said they wanted fair play. Black Dykes of Sherman. The black dykes of Sherman are in a belt about two miles wide and running northeast and southwest, says the Lake City Phono- graph. In this mineral belt are four dis- tinct black dykes, running parallel, from 1ifty to 100 feet thick, each accompanying a strong quartz vein and, as far as developed, rich in tellurium. Gold is found in a yellow metal resembling yellow coppdy, which pros- pectors call yellow tellurium. On the most northerly of these dykes are located the Snowsliae, owned by an eastern company ; the Monster, Monster No. 2 and Silver Zone, owned by J. C. Gavin and as- saying as high as fifty-five ounces in gold; the Come-Up and Mineral Fiower, owned by D. A. Farrell & Co. M, Farrell is pushing work steadily this winter with a good show- ing of ore that will run over $1,000 per ton. Next comes tne Black Wouder and West End mines, under the management of A. A. Allen. The Black Wonder has taken its place as one of the richest gold producing properties in the state, while the West End 18 acknowledged by all to have the best showing made by any property in this vicinity—considering the amount of develop- ment work done on the mine. On the last black zono are the Sweoney lode, Black Bird, Jack Pot and Crescent. Each of these claims show the same char- acter of quartz and all carry the same yellow metal that with proper ~developing will make Sherman the greatest gold camp in Colorado.

Ho argued that no material amendment had subse- quently been made, and that the ndictment was improper and should not stand. The judge took the matter under advise- ment until Thursday morning, when he stated that he would overrulo the demurrer, but found that the indictment was pro drawn 80 as to hold the defendant fs slaughter ia the second degree. So that is the charge upon wh Fisher was tried,-and if 1t had bes tained by the jury he would have gotten a sentence of imprisonment in the penitentiary for nov moro than four nor less than two years, or imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or a fine of Not moro than $1,000, or both fine and imprisoument. This is a great veduction in the degree of the offense and was a decided victor Fisher. Several wi examined, fr the deceased mostly circumstanti Young Lawyer Tmplicatod. A young attorney named David Linton, who practiced law in Canton for a time, but who skipped for parts unknown just about the vime Dr. Fisher left this part ot the country, has been implicated in the case as far as is possible for him to be and still not appear as a witness or defendant in the action himself. The sister testified that on the day Minnie Olson, the deceased, left Canton for Sioux Falls Linton came to their house and gave her$5. Lanton is supposed to be the original cause of the ruin of the girl, who, while endeavoring to save herself from disgrace in the eyes of the world, lost her life and brought a friend to prison. Late yesterday afternoon the jury was called in by the judge and discharged, after being out twenty-six hours. The vote stood five for conviction and seven for acquittal from the first ballot to the last. nesses for the prc cluding the fathe gir The evidence was RMLKRS WILL FIGHT. Notes Aggregating n Large Sum Wil Causo Considerable Litigation. Stoux Fatis, S. D., Jan. 21.—[Special to Tae Bee.]—Luthy & Co. of Peoria, IlL, who hold notes to the amount of $160,000, given to the Alliance company of this state by the stockholders of the Alliance com- pany, wiil in ail probability have considera- ble trouble before they succeed in collecting the money on them. Twenty-five farmers of this county, whose notes Luthy & Co. hold, have served notice on that company that they will not take up the paper, and that they have employed a prominent Jaw firm of this city to fight the case all the way up the line, even to the United States su- preme court. These farmers claim that they supposed the notes given by them were now in the hands of Secretary McCreary of Aber- deen, to whom they were intrusted. They also state that to their actual knowledge the notes were never attached, and that no au- thority was ever given for their transfer, Some crooked work 1s evident, they say, and they propose to locate it. The following is a little budget of notes concerning public men of South Dakota: Ex-Secretary of State A. O. Ringsrud is re- ported as being out as a determined candi- date for United States senator to succeed Peutigrew. Colonel A. A. Boynton, recently appointed receiver of the Mitchell land oftice, has removed from his former home in Elk Point to Mitchell and assumed his duties. The report sent out from Yankton to the effect that R. J. Gamble of that city will be nominated by the vepublicans for governor to sit where Sheldon now sits, is met here with smiles by some, while others think it would be a pretty good choice. Tawlessness In the Reservation. CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Jan. 21.—[Special to Tae Bee.] —Herman Hoefer, a resident of Oscoma, Lyman county, was arrested on the charge of selling liquor to the Indians at Lower Brule agency. He was brought here for examination before United States Com- missioner Morrow, who bound him over to appear before tho mnext term of United States court at Deadwood. Officers have discovered that a great deal of liquor is be- ing sold to the Indians at the two adjacent agencies, and everything possible will be done to break up the unlawful practice. There also appears to be an organizea gang of cattle rustlers operating on the west side of the Missouri river and along the eastern bank of that stream. A number of cattle belonging to farmers living along the river have recently disappeared. It is said that these stolen cattlo ave taken by the ghieves and branded with their brands, after which they are placed with the berds of the rustlers. Determined efforts will be made to secure the evidence neces: the conviction of the suspected Stockmen in the interior of the ceded Jemds also coniinue to complain of the depre- dations of vhe rustlers, Was Once a Swell, Stoux FauLs, S. D, Jan. 21.—[Special to Tue Bre.]—Captain Fano Wainwright, who “swelled” it around Deadwood and Lead City last summer, and who was a sosial lion much sought after while there, now languishes in a California Jail charged with blowing open a safe in a business house and robbing it of its contents. While Wain- wright was in this state he posed as an ex- captain of a crack English regiment, but had resigned his commission to study min- ing with a view to investing. He made some very close acquaintances in Deadwood, whom he succeeded in fleecing out of §2,000 borrowed money. Dan Flood, the embezzling ex-treasurer of Meade county, has been convicted afier a week's trial and sentenced to sorve a term of two and one-half years in the peniten- tiary here. John H. King of Piedmont was sentenced to twenty-one mouths in the penitentiary for stealing cattlo.

ECRETARY FOSTER INTERVIEWED. What He Has to Say on the Proposed Car- Hslo Bond Issue. Torepo, Jan. 20.—The Blade today has an interview with ex-Secretary Charles Foster on the bond call of arlisle con- cerning the story that a year ago he had plates engraved for a bond issue, which was stopped by President Harrison. Mr. Foster said: “That story arose from the well known fact that I favored a bond issue m case the gold reserve went below tho $100,- 000,000 mark. As to President Harrison, he never discussed the point, because tho re- servo fund never fell as low as the $100,000,- 000 line. I am of the opinion that he would have favored the plan had the treasury fallen below that," In reply to a question as to whether tho secretary has the right to issue bonds under the act of 1875, he said: *It is my view that the law did notv contemplate the selling of ponds to meet current government expenses, which is really what Mr. Carlisle proposes. But he undoubtedly has the authority to sell bonds to replenish the roserve, He can do that and then pay out the money received for current expenses, then sell more bonds to bring the reserve up again and soon. But this evades tho spirit of the law in my opinion.” Remomber the Worla's Fair, A confusion of towering buildings, impos- ing statues, skimming crafts and whirling wheel, all very beautiful and very great— that is the mental view of the oxposition most of us who were there are carrying about with us, No more beauntiful and forcible reminder of the reign of pleasure can be found than the series of views prepared by Jas.
