have taken extra precaution in

caught tho disease is a mystery un

germs here. These young men oc

Mining Notes.
The Singleton is moving along
as well as 1 could lie expected with
tho amount of water it has.
Tho Copper mine in this county
has closed down for a few days,
wc understand, till they can de
termine where to start their main
shaft.
Air. A. L. Dues-nberry of New
York, has been here this week
looking over tho Whim Hill prop
erty with a view of purchasing it.
If he does he will get something
good for it is among the best mill"
mg properties in Auraria district.

These Huntington mills lmyo in
every ease been more expense
than profit, in this oounty, easy to
get out of fix, besides requiring
much power to run them.
Wo would bo glad for any in
formation concerning the gold
mines of this county. Nothing
but facts are wanted. When wo
tell our readers about a mine hero
we want, him to Do ablo to como
and find it just as well, if not bet
tor, than represented. It pays no
man, nor benefits any country to
get up exaggerated reports about
tho mineral resources of any sec
tion.
A gentleman passed the Calhoun
mine while they wore cleaning up
last week and informed us that, ho
was shown gold in all shapes and
sizes. The clean up was only
about half done and the gold
looked to be about 300 penny
weights, said this old miner. Mi.
Wharton, tho owner of the Cal
houn, has mined also in the West.
In the West whero labor was four
dollars per day and everything
olso high according, ho made a
failure. Here he has met with
good success.
The prospecting on the Jumbo
continues with unabated activity.
The last, discovery was not only a
rich voin but at least two hundred
feot north of whore tho lead was
supposed to have ended. This
gives two hundred feet additional
to the gold yielding zone. This
vein has been cut in two places
one hundred and fifty yards apart,
showing beyond doubt its contin
uity. We learn that in a new
tunnel, just started, juBt north of
shaft No. 1, two veins of good
mill ore have been cut. If the
discoveries of new veins of good
oro count for any thing, Jumbo
may already bo put down as one
of the largest gold mines discover
ed in this section or elsewhere.
We learn that the work in the
shafts is progressing rapidly and
in ono of them another vein of
mill ore has been touched. Tho
management is preparing tho
necessary data for their prospec
tus, which will soon be issued and
an advance in the price of stock
announced, which the new discov
eries now justifies.
Mining is like everything else.
If it is not conducted properly it
will be a failure. Look at the cel
ebrated Barlow when it was worked
many years ago by Mr. Pride. It
failed. Mr. Hand then purchased
the mine and put Air. John Huff,
our present ordinary in charge,
and he soon got it in shape so as to
make thousands of dollars, Mr.
Tregont, tho present lesee is mak
ing it pay now. Tho Singleton was
the same way. While Mr. John
Weaver worked it he made money.
Then it changed hands and was a
failure under its management. Mr,
J. F. Moore then took hold of it
and made big money, and the mine
is paying today under Mr. W,
G. Campbell’s management, Tho
dredge boat business was the samo
way. After several failed to mako
anything Messrs. Birch Bros, sues
coeded with tho management of
Mr. Keenum as superintendent.
They sold out to Messrs, Ingersoll
& Crisson. They tried it awhile
without much success. Now they
have Mr. Keenum with them and
aro doing well. It takes a man iu
charge of a mine who understands
his business to mako any kind of
mining or any kind of business a
success.
