Ore Of such phenomenal richness was never dreamed of In any locality In Clear Creek county. The great revival in gold mining In Colorado rado Is duo to two causes. Unn is the opportune discovery of new gold deposits of crcut richness In several localities. The ether is the rlso in the price of gold , says the Denver Times. Gold mines huvlng vast deposits of low grade ore , which were abandoned twenty years ngo because they did not pay , are being opened in various parts of the ntato. It cost's about half as much to work them now us at that time and each ounce will now purchase twice ns much of the staple commodotles as then. Whllo labor has re mained steady in price , improved mining ma- rhlnory and methods , cheapened transporta tion and treatment , lessened cost of living anil of capital have enormously reduced the cost of lode mining. A gold mine which pro duced $18 ere at n cost of $20 had to bo shut down. Hut now that It produces $18 ere , worth $ y(5 ( in purchasing power , at a cost of $ 'J it is a bonaD/a. Nearly all the older mining regions of Colorado are full of such bonanzas. As soon as the country understands the real situa tion there will bn such a mining excitement ns was never before known. It Is no exaggeration to say that there is practically in sight In this state- thousand millions of low grade gold oro. It may cost $500,000,000 or J900,000QOO to take it all out , but It will furnish employment to hundreds of thousands and make business enough to gl\0 Denver 500,000 people. Crlpplo Creole nlono cannot have less than $100,000,000 in its hills already partially opened. The great tunnel from Idaho Springs under the mountain to bonnath Cen tral will take out several hundred millions from old and known veins. A dozen similar tunnels will bo built in other localities. Many thousands of gold scams havn been opened at periods and under conditions that offered no profit. Most of thorn will now Pay- PayColorado's gold belt extends from Boulder , Manhattan in Larimer county and Ilahn's peak , with a broad sweep southwest to the corner of the state. It is the largest and richest gold Hold in the world. We doubtless - , less have moro gold than silver. The DulxiU Camp. The maiden carload of ere from thoDuboIs camp has been shipped by way of sleds to Cebolla switch on the Denver & Kio Grande. Notwithstanding snow and cold weather many rich discoveries are made day after day. Prospectors and investors are pouring in over the several dally stngo lines from Coholla switch , Uunnison , Sapnoro and Lake View. The best and shortest route is via Cobolla switch througn the romantic canons of Cebolla. The protection affordedby the high cliffs on either side against fold winds and storms is a great recommendation for the Carpenter sleigh lino. Within the past two days some twenty-flva lusty Ouray > miners und.investors have set tled here. The richest find thus far recorded is In the Gunnlsbn lode , located on Wolf eroek , which assayed to the astounding figures of $82,003. OTho greatest detriment to the camp , and \vhlch Is now receiving proper attention of the arbitration committee , is the tramp prospectors or unlawful rolocators , who are obstructing the development of several hundred claims in tie best localities. JllK Mining Suit. The biggest mining law suit of Crlpplo Creek will bo over Battle mountain proper ties. The Portland , Anna Lee , Douhtful , Queen of the 11111s and several other claims nro in the fight. Outside parties have made nn attempt to secure control of the different conflicting interests with the object of con solidation ; but up to date they have made no progress , says n correspondent of the Denver Times. The different individual owners say they will fleht for their claims In the courts before glvintr up from GO to 75 per cent to the promoters of a consolidation Bchomo. The Anna Lee is sending fifty tons per day to the smelters. The ere Is low grade , but there Is an Immense body of it. This mlno alone will ship 81,000,000 worth of ere this .your if it is not tied up by litijition.- ( ; The output of the mines for the first month of tbo now year will"oxccud in vnluo thru of December by at least " 5 per cent , The number of strangers coming Into camp Is larger thtm over , and nil the hotels nnd boarding houses nro crowded. The largo rotunda and bar of the Palace hotel is crowded every night with minors , pros pectors , capitalists und paupers , und all are talking mines. The Palace is doing a land odlco" business , nnd without doubt it pays a larger dividend for Iho money invested than any mine of Cripple Creek. The Slnonn Country. 1 The history of the year 1603 in ono mining region , the Slocan country , adds to the ac cumulated arguments advanced by mining men In favor of tno immcdiato establish ment of n smelter nt Spokane , says the lloviow. The year was marked by financial depression that was general nnd develop ment wns not pressed ns It otherwise would have boon , but the showing Is a good ono. Just 1,1C'J tons of ere were shipped In 1803 , the rottirns averaging iti-1 ounces of silver to the ton and CS per cent lead. The figures are thu sums total. Wlillo most of the ores run higher In lead , considerable dry ere has been " "Shipped which contained no load. At the wharves In ICaslo are 000 tons moro awaiting shipment and at the mines and along the wagon roads are 700 tons sacked and await ing transportation , The total product of the Kitslo-Slocan mines , for the year 18U3 in round numbers is thus shown to bo U,4G3 tons of ere that will avorago. at the present price of silver nnd lead $105 to the ton , or a total output of $40(1.2:10 ( : worth. The Kaslo-Slocan Examiner estimates that C,000 tons will bo bhippcd from the Slocan country to the smelters of the United States during the present season. The Kxamlnor tiolioves that the prospect for the future is brighter than ovor. Fifteen different mines nro talcing out ere at a surprisingly rapid rato. At the Slocan Btar , Mountain Chief. Freddie I > oo , Idaho , Uuccau , Wellington , Washington , Hluo UIrd , Twucky Jim , Dardanelles , Antelope , Nebo Flvo nnd others , ere is sncuod awaiting transportation and moro is being inliioil. Tim mlnos at Valley are still In u posi tion to put out all the iron ere needed for the purpose , and the friendly attitude of Mr. Corbln Is In itself a guarantee that ob stacles In the way of Its economical trans portation will not defer the working of n imoltor. The settlement of the Colvillo trip will open another Hold that Is said to bo rich in mineral. The Otcanogan country and fifty or 100 other camps would bo con tributors , and Spokane U in such it location that successful competition for the bulk of that trade Unot n thing to bo considered. The Heuiulou nt l.ciulvillc , III mining circles at Loadvlllo the prin cipal theme of conversation Is the wonderful gold strike lu the Esther shaft , owned by Iho Indiana Mining company , and located within six blocks of the heart of the city. A rich body of lead ere wus recently cut in the Capitol shaft of the Commercial Mln- * lug company. This ere carries gold in pav ing ( Uiantitlos and is believed to bo the northern extension of the gold-lead ere chutu oncounterou in the ICathor shaft. Those two discoveries , in the opinion of the Horald-Douiocrat , will lead to active pros- pcctlng In the entire Ixmdvllln Imln , from the Helm shaft on the south to the Cnpltol on the north. This covers quite nn ox- tcnslvo territory , and as lend nnd gold are equally desired nt the smelters the product will command the highest prices. In a few weeks several of the lareo con tracts for Iron ores will expire. As them were mnilo at a loss to the smelters , ic is not nt all likely that all w ll bo renewed at onco. Without nn Increase lu quotations for load nnd silver , the lead-silver ores , where the production of the whlto mot.il Is heavy , will not bo purchased larucly by the smlotcrs. Hcncu the conclusion It fair that the iron ores of lyQ.u'vlIlo ' will again bo sought out and the prcsont largo production resumed. ThoA-Y and Mlnnio Is employing llftj men at the rnlno nnd a double shift at the concentrator , where the dally output of clifhty tor.s of ere Is rodueod to twenty tons of roucciitrntos. The ere is n lead-sulphide , and Is found in the upper levels. The water in the Maid is near the bottom lovcl , so that prospecting has commenced on the vertical fissure voln , This is very rich In both gold and silver , recent assays going us hMi as $1,500 per ton. During the month of December the Maid of Krin raised COO tons of coppor-sulphldo ore , the Wolftono 2,000 tons of sulphides , the Carbonate SO'J tons of carbonate , Iho Gray ICaglo 225 tons of carbonate and 2,850 tons of Iron ores and the Orion lease Cti3 tons of car bonates. Ada 700 tons for tbo iron lease ami a total of 7,755 tons Is shown for the Moffat-Smlth mines. Doll ! .Mlno Under the Street. The excitement regarding the now gold discoveries In Folsotn , Cal. , continues , nnd in splto of threats John Cardwoll will con- tlnuo his prospecting until compelled by the court to cease nxcavatlons under Llcdcsdorf street. Ho has on exhibition some line nuggets from the drifting under the street , says the San Francisco Kxamlnor , nnd , hav ing secured permission from the Board of Supervisors to extend his operations , will not desist. Jacob Hyman , who claims to bo agent for property on the street , says ho will enjoin Cardwoll , but has not done so yet. Many others are now applicants for privileges similar to Cardwoll's ' , and if ho is not enjoined fjiodcsdorf street will soon bo completely honeycombed. To Tunnel tlio SUklyottg. The subject of the boring of a great tunnel through the Slsklyou mountains so as to ro- llovo the road of the great expense of the miles of loop and high Mountain grade neces sary to got ever this one of nature's land marks and formidable obstructions to cheap and easy railroad transportation has been revived , says the Ashland ( Oro. ) Record. It will bo remembered that during the great railroad snow blockadoof January , IBUl.whon the combined efforts of the Southern Paclllc system's sbeut talent could not open this mountain for trains for Jlvo weeks , the Southern Pacific people had ordered their engineers , as soon as they were through with their work in the Crow crook canon , to make a preliminary survey of this great en- , torprlso for a big Hole through the Sisklyou mountains. The surveyor's camp was pre pared and the surveying crow 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 roul in southern California. The Southern Pacific has issued orders to all its surveying crows , who have been idle for months , to bo ready for work as soon as spring opens , commencing March 1,1801 , About the llrst work to bo done will bo preliminary survey , followed by a permanent survey by a different engineer , of this big tunnel. Sun Junn Gold fields. Every day adds to the number of gold seekers 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 Now York historical society. Recently coal oil , marDlo and onyx have been discovered and some prospecting has been done to determine their value. Mondcnhall & Dempsey 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 ? 3SO per ton.Ho is highly elated and is now going to save the sand. Another o.imp has boon established eight miles below "Camp Chorokoo. " IThey claim to have ground that boats any of the upper camps. The weather Is pretty chilly , but thorp Is no snow and but very little ice. The days nro unusually warm. Trouble With Chum Jumpers. A flght occurred last week between a party of claim jumpers and the Hawks brothers nnd some of their friends , in which A. M. Hawks received a severe cut under the loft eye from n roeir thrown at him. The trouble was started by a party of claim jumpers trying to jump the Larrotta claim. Both sides nro holding their own so far , but since the light lias occurred have armed themselves and bloodshed Is expected , ns both sides are determined to hold the property. During the flght bloodshed was probably averted by some disinterested parties ap pearing on the scene with rifles , , and when ono of the Hawks party drew a revolver and threatened to shoot the first man that drew a revolver , and said they wanted fair play , llliick Dykes of Sherman. The black dykes of Sherman are in a belt about two miles wldo and running northeast and southwest , says the Lake City Phone graph. In this mineral bolt are four dis tinct black dykes , running parallel , from llfty to 100 foot thick , each accompanying a strong quartz vein and , as far as developed , rich in tellurium. Gold is found in a yellow metal resembling yellow coppeY , which pros pectors call yellow tellurium. On the most northerly of those dykes are located the Snowsliao , owned by an eastern company ; the Monster , Monster No. 2 and Silver Zone , owned by J. C. Gavin nnd as saying as high as fifty-live ounces in gold ; the Como-Ui ) and Mineral Flower , owned by D. A. Farrell & Co. Mr. Fan-oil is pushing work steadily this winter with a good show ing of ere that will run over 11,000 per ton. Next comes tno Black Wonder and West End mines , under the management of A. A. Allan. The Black Wonder has taken its place as one of the richest gold producing properties in the stato. whllo the West End is acknowledged by all to Imvo the best " showing made by" any property In this vicinity considering the amount of develop ment work done on the mlno. On the last black zone are the Swconoy lode , Black Bird , Jack Pot and Crescent. Each of these claims show the same char acter of quartz nnd all carry the same yellow metal that with proper developing will make Sherman the greatest gold camp In Colorado.

[ Special to TUB BEE.J The murder trial of Dr. Fisher has attracted Immense crowds to the court room. The defendant's attorney demuircd to the indictment which charged murder In the llrst degree on the ground that In 1SW ( the territorial legislature passed a law mak ing death from a criminal operation man slaughter in the second degree. Ho argued that no material amendment had subse quently been made , and that the indictment was improper and should not stand , The JUdge took the matter under advise ment until Thursday morning , when ho stated that ho would overrule the demurrer , but found that the Indictment was properly drawn so ns to hold the defendant for man slaughter in the second degree. So that is the charge upon which Dr. Fisher was tried-and If it had boon sus tained by the Jury ho would have gotten n sentence of imprisonment in the penitentiary for not moro than four nor less than two years , or imprisonment In the county jail for nut moro than one year , or a line of not moro than $1,000 , , nr both line and imprisonment. This Is n great reduction in the degree of the offonsu and was a decided victory for Fisher. Several witnesses for the piosocutlon were examined , including the father and bister of the deceased girl. The ovldcuco was mostly circumstantial. Volt UK I.uvycr Implicated.

The sister testified that on the day Minnie Olson , the deceased , left Canton for Sioux Falls Lin ton came to their house and gave her $5. Linton is supposed to no the original c.iuso of the ruin of the girl , who , whllo endeavoring to save herself from disgrace in the eyes of the world , lost her life and brought a friend to prison. Lalo yesterday afternoon the jury was called in by the judge- and discharged , after being out twenty-six hours.

TOLEDO , Jan. 211. The Blade todav has an interview with ox-Secretary Charles Foster on the bond call of Secretary Carlisle con cerning the story that a year ago ho 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 ill case the gold reserve went below the $100- 000,000 marie. As to President Harrison , ho never discussed the point , because the re serve fund never fell as low as the $100,000 , 000 lino. I am of the opinion that ho would have favored the plan had the treasury fallen below that. " In reply to a question as to whether the secretary has the right to issue bonds under the act of 1875 , ho said : "It is my view that the law did not contemplate the selling of Domls to meet current government expenses , which Is really what Mr. Carlisle proposes. But ho undoubtedly has the authority to sell bonds to replenish the roaorvo. Ho can do that and then pay out the money received for current expenses , then sell moro bonds to bring the reserve up again and soon. But this evades the spirit of the law in my opinion. " > .
