SUIATOOA , Cnrbon County , Wyo. , Nov. 5.
[ Special Correspondence ) of Tin : HHE. ! It
was Just n year ago that a mining district
was organized in the Mcdiclno How raago ,
twonty-flvo miles southeast of here , that was
pi vcn the tin mo of Gold Hilt. As a sort of
anniversary colouration of Us founding
tlioro has Just begun n cam
paign of development that Insures
the exploiting of seine of the most promising
claims in the camp. What was needed there
was capital. It has been attracted thlthor.
No longer is Gold Hill n prospectors camp ;
It is full-llndgod , nnd consecrated to logltl
mate mining ,
Uut the result for which the hardy pros
pector waited so patiently , ana to the ac
complishment of which TUB Bun Is conceded
by nil to buvo contributed so much ,
was not attained without great srtcrl-
llcos on the part of the original
locators ! of claims. They have suffered pri
vations and not a llttlo humiliation. The only
redeeming feature about the strucgle they
have gene through has been the coulldonco
in the ultimate outcome of the camp ex
hibited by the business men of Saratoga.
Her merchants have given credit to the min
ers for the necessaries of life nil that the
minors asked for. Other residents advanced
money for supplies requisite In development
worlr. Tno owners of claims stuck by
thorn satisfied that so long as they "stayed
by them" they hail fortunes In their grasp.
The year Just ended has been as it were one
of probation for Gold Hill. So many slumps
and flzzols have been recorded as the opltomo
of Wyoming mining "tiooms" that capital
and oven residents of the state had grown
skeptical that nnv good could como
out of mining in the latest born
of the commonwealth. This fooling of
distrust in search after precious metals
in Wyoming had to bo overcome. Worit was
needed , but as a rule the mon who had the
good things of Gold Hill corraled didn't have
the money to do It on n broad enough scale to
demonstrate the quantity or extent of the
mineral deposits , the quality or richness of
which has never boon questioned. Mining
exports by the score visited the carnn and In
vestigated It thoroughly , surreptitiously or
without revealing their identity. Timy
must have been satisfied , for never n word
has there been published to the detriment
of Gold Hill or by way of discounting Its
prospects.
Yankee Pluck lied the Way.
Those exports or agents of mining opera
tors awaited tbo Umo when the winter's
snows should pile up and drift over that
camp on the mountain top , close timber line ,
to a depth of twenty to llfty feet , as was the
case last winter. They bided the occasion
they reckoned on when the minors should bo
frozen out , literally. But their calculation
missed. Jt remained for a coterie of plucky
Yankees to stop in and roach for and get the
persimmons. Conservative business mon
from Massachusottssntlsiled themselves that
wealth was to bo dug out of the mountains
in and around Gold pill. Then their money
was ready to back their judgment and they
stopped In and bought up or contracted
for interests In promising claims.
Organization was effected in Saratoga last
Saturday of the Tiltpn Mining and Develop
ment company , thnt'will prove an importtnt
factor In demonstrating the value and ox tent
ef the mineral resources of tbo upper Plntto
valley and its surrounding mountain ranges.
While the operations of this company will ,
for the present , bo conlined to the Gold Hill
district , It has boon incorporated on a suf
ficiently comprehensive plan so that it can
engage in othrr than mlnlni ? enterprises and
extend its Held to various districts besides
tbo ono in which it has acquired numerous
valuable and promising properties.
The company includes us members the
Holyoke ( Masg. ) syndicate , whoso representa
tives made n thorough investigation of the
mineral prospects of Gold Hill. After re
peated tests they bought n largo number of
claims. Into the now company has also been
merged the interests of the Paris City Min
ing company , comprising W. , II. Greene , E.
M. Greene , Lewis Johnson and J. B. Clarke ,
owners of the Acino. Lalcesldo and other
promising claims at Gold Hill on which con
siderable development work has already boon
done. W. D. Tiltou , nn old minor and a well
known ranchman on Brush crook , has con
solidated his interests in the Gold Hill camp
and in the French creek country that is em
braced within the limits of the Gold Hill
district. It was mainly duo to Mr.
Tllton's ' active work and inlluonco
that the Massachusetts capitalists ba-
cnmo interested In this country.
The capital stock of the company has boon
make ( $1,500,000. George Nightingale of
Holyoke was elected president : Henry Ilor-
ton of Now Haven , Conn. , vice president and
treasurer ; K. M. Greene , secretary ; W. H.
Greene , general manager , and Messrs. Night
ingale , Ilorton , W. H. Greono. E. M. Greene ,
J. B. Clarke and George V , Osgood of
Ilolyoko , trustees. The principal ofllco of
the company will boat Gold Hill but a branch
will bo opened at Holyoko.
Associated with the Mnssachusots repre
sentatives of the company , who are to pro
vide the working capital , are mon who stand
high in business and professional circles in
the Bay stnto and can command larco capi
tal. Home of those who are and will bccomo
stockholders , have bcon prominent in public
life In Massachusetts and their connection
with this , as with any other enterprise ,
will bo a guarantee that it will bo
conducted strictly on Dullness principles.
Money is in the bank to provldo for the erec
tion of n stamp mill and other machinery ut
Gold Hill and for pushing forward an actlvo
campuign of development. President Night
ingale and Treasurer Ilorton are now in Denver -
vor , where orders will bo placed for the ira-
modlato construction of the requisite ma
chinery. Ton 850-pound stamps nro to beset
sot up at once , together with concentrators ,
ore-crushers and self-feeders. For the present -
ont a twonty-llvo horse power engine is to bo
put In. That will sufllco to run the tan
stamps and will bo utilized for hoisting or
other purposes at the mines when additional
stamps are added , which will bo done as soon
as occasion requires. ,
The sltn for the mill has already boon
graded. It is on thd'Patriot claim on South
Brush crook , on the Greenville towusito ,
owned by the TiltoUi , company , about a qurr-
tor of n mile from the Acme tunnel. The
foundation for the mill Is complete and work
started on the building to liou-so the machin
ery. That will bo' ' lOOx''O foot with a cor
rugated iron roof. Its location and arrange
ments nro admirable and suc-h as to obviate
any unnossary handling of the oro. So far
as possible the mill vfiil run itself. Cars will
drive In at the top of the mill , unload into
ere Dins from three dumps , and then tno ere
will run through th'ii'crushers ' , self-feeders ,
stamps and concentrators to the batteries.
IVoiulorTiiliAVntor Power.
The company has' boon most fortunate In
the selection of a mill situ. Its natural ad
vantages and the planof ! construction of the
works decided upon > > iixcited the admiration
of William T. Syms , an oxporloucod mill man
who last weoif made H critical examination ,
Mr. Sytns is at the heaa of the Syms & Dud
ley company of Holyoke , ono of the largest
paper concerns In the country that owns big
mills. There is much In common In thu
principles Involved In the construction of
and stamp mills. Accordtn ? to Mr.
Sapor
yms1 Judgment , the Patriot mill will possess
exceptional advantages and Insura great
economy in iis operation. As to thu water
power , ho spoke In unqualified pruiso. Ho
advocated Us usn In tbo sum in or season In
stead of sU-iun power. This suggestion will
undoubtedly bo carried out.
South Brush crook above the mill has a
grout fall and from u survey made for a , ditch
to bo taken out of that stream , u pressure of
at loiut 1TO feel can bo nbtnlned. Next
spring it Is proposed to take out this ditch
and put In n bin Pcllon wheel at the mill , by
which enormous power can t > o derived. Hy
housing the whycl and taking certain precautions -
cautions , it U calculated that water power
can bo utilized for the mill all
the year nrcund. Should this not
prove practicable for the winter months
another and larger cnglno CAII bo put In ,
Lumber bus bcon ordered for the mill hoiuo
and various other buildings the company Is
to orool. Assurances are clvcn that this
will bo supplied fast enough so that there
will be no delay In putting up the building
to rocolvo the machinery , that 1s expected to
bo completed about the llrst of December.
Men nro engaged In getting out timbers for
Use this winter in the tunnels , shufu and
various other works in the muio.v Contracts
have boon made for MX ) cord i of wood nnd
that will bo delivered within a few weeks.
Work will begin at once on n company
store and headquarters. This building li to
bo SJ-JX50 feet and two stories high. The
lower Moor will bo fitted up for nn ofllco and
supply store that will bo stocked with all
kinds of goods , to bo conducted by the com
pany , Tno need of a general store at Gold
Hill has long been felt , nnd In this ono It Is
planned to carry a largo stock. Tha upper
&tory of the company building is to bo
llnlshod ott Into sleeping apartments , A
warehouse 14x50 foot , with n col
lar will bo built in connection
With the stori' . Besides these buildings
n blacksmith shop Is being put tip at the
mouth of the Aumo tunnel In addition to the
ono now In use near the More. Ore bins nro
al o building at the Lakosldo mine. All told
some twenty mon are now employed by the
company , but the force will constant ! bo
Increased.
Three shifts nro now working on both the
Lakeside and Acme tunnel. They have each
boon driven nearly 100 foot.
Thut on tbo Acme goes nhotul llvo fcot n
duy and In a week or moro will have cut tho.
lour veins that nro now being exploited for ,
nnd will strike them at a considerable depth
below the surface ,
aiiiat Mine or bo Frozen Out.
Everybody Is busy nt Gold Hill and never
in the history of the cbmp has there been
such conlldonco exhibited In Its future as n
bullion producer. The buslnellho methods
of the Tiltou comnnny lias Inspired activity
on the part of owners of claims. Men who
had about made up their minds to do. no de
velopment work this winter have resolved
to go ahead and are making con
tracts for putting down now shafts or
sinking old ones to n greater depth. A faw
of the prospectors who staked out claims by
the wholesale on a "spec" hnvo boon forced
to part with their interests. They found
that the district was not to remain idle this
winter , and not havlnc the moans to do their
assessment work , and fearful of losing their
claims , unloaded them. In most instances
what they relinquished have fallen Into the
bands of mon who nro both able and eager to
open up the properties. This Insures work
for a largo number of men in the camp this
winter.
The building Is finished at Arastra lake , nt
the upper camp in the district , and the foun
dation Is ready for setting up the ton stamps
of Colonel S. W. Downey. It will not belong
long before the mill will bo in running order.
The colonel has contracted for 500 cords of
wood to bo delivered nt the mill by Novem
ber 15 , by which time It. was expected the
mill would start up. Other buildings , such
as a storehouse and cabins , are to bo put up
near by. Preparations are making for tun
neling Into the Leviathan claim , on which n
100 foot shaft was sunk , and from which ere
for the mill Is to bo taken.
There has been nn interesting development
about this Leviathan load recently. A lot of
so-called "dirt" was taken out and thrown
nMdo , A dozen ounces of this stuff was
brought down to Saratoga this week. It was
panned and 3'J cents.in gold obtained from
the twelve ounces. That represents over
$1,000 to the ton.
When this decomposed matter was struck
In the Leviathan shaft it was loft to ono sldo
nnd the 'vorlc continued down on nn incline.
No effort has over boon made to determine
the width of this streak , but in some places
it shows olcvon foot. Some who examined
the Lovinthan had an idea that this "dirt"
would pay handsomely to work , but no mill
run was over made on it. It is not nt all un
likely that It will bo put through Colonel
Downey's batteries.
New Strikes Being Ulaile.
A. now shaft on the Wyoming claim has
been put down and at a doptb of twenty-live
feet , it is rooortod that the vein has at last
been located. Colonel Downey controls the
output of this claimfrom which tnarirclously
rich free gold specimens have boon obtained.
There has been a popular impression that
the Wyoming was nothing but a chromo
claim containing ere pockets and that no
true vein would over bo found on it. Not
ouly has a well defined lead boon reported to
have been found on the Wyoming , but last
week ono of similar character was struck on
the Blue Boll claim , Inllv 5,000 feet northeast -
east of it. The discovery was made about
forty foot from the Blue Boll shaft and the
vein runs parallel to tuo original find. Only
a shallow hole was dug and in that the vein
was two and a half feet wide. Development
will no doubt bo started soon to find out the
value of the now discovery.
Colonel Downey has another mill of twenty
stamps that has Just boon ovoruauled , which
Is now being freighted into Gold Hill over
the Saratoga road. The boiler will bo used
to run his ton stamps now being sot up. A
wing to the present building will bo added
and the twenty stamps and other machinery
put iu position when the ton stamps are run
ning all right. By the llrst of the year It is
anticipated all thirty stamps will bo pound
ing away on ere from the Wyoming and
Leviathan claims.
It is not at all unlikely that Gold Hill will
have two post ofllces before long. Complaint
has boon made by the boys nt the
upper cuinp , in the neighborhood of the
Downey stamp mill , that it will bo incon
venient for thorn in stormy weather and after
the deep snow comes , to go down to Greenville
villo town silo , where the ofllco is now
located , to got their mall. To rornovo the
ofllce to tbo upper camp would bo equally as
embarrassing nnd unhand } ' for the man em
ployed in nnd around the mines nnd mill of
the Massachusetts company. Assurances
nro given that a second oltico will bo estab
lished. Then there will perhaps como a
light over the name. As tlioro are several
Gold Hills in the mining state , the Postoflico
department christened the ono in Wyoming
plain Gold. It wouldn't bo n bad idea for the
department to give the nnmo of Silver to the
now ono , for there will bo as much and prob
ably n good deal moro of the domondtizod
metal than of the precious yellow stuff taken
out of the district. UEOUGK F. CANIS.

ARTIFICIAL ICE
The manufacture of ice by means of chemicals is likely
to be inaugurated in this city if the weather docs not change
soon. Those ice companies who have a large supply on hand
are feeling all right , but do you know how it is with firms when
have an immense
immenseSTOCK
of winter clothing on hand ? We arc among thai number , and
as we think it wise to adapt ourselves to circumstances , we ara
going to take the bear side of the market and unload as fast
as the goods can be taken out of the house. Those supcrl\ \
Suits and Overcoats that were manufactured by our
COMPANY
in such large quantities for the big trade , which the prosperous
condition of the state warranted us in expecting , arc to be of <
fercd at prices much less than the same class of goods luivo
ever been sold for
IN OMAHA.
To state that a suit of clothes can be had for a certain
sum does not convey a correct idea to the reader as to whether it
is a bargain or not. There are suits of clothes offered by some
dealers for $10 that are said to be worth $15. We offer a suit
for $10 that is toortk $10.
Guaranteed to be worth that or money refunded.
So the only way to form an opinion of our goods is to
inspect the garments.
You know how the weather has been. You know tha
extent of our stock ( three double floors full ) . You know that
we have sense enough to know that unless we sell now wq
must carry the goods over.
Take advantage this week.
