A gentleman just In from the Cripple
Creak district , who has largo Interests In
the phenomenal gold camp , reports mining
and prospecting are again aqtlvn In every
direction , nays the Denver TImea-Sun. New
ttrikeu nro made so fast , ho Hays , that but
little attention la paid to them save by the
parties interested , who simply double their
ondeavorn to lift ore. Ono pay day will put
a 'new phase on business matters In tha
camp. The men will pay up part of their
debts ami the merchants will again ba able
to order In supplies on a cash basis.
Crlpplo Creek activity will have a good
effect upon the lead-silver and Iron-silver
mines of Lake county. Thoie ores are
used for fluxcn In the treatment ef dry
ores of the Crlpplo Creek class. The fall
ing off of supply from the one camp has
cut off the demand on the other , but now
that Crlpplo Crock has resumed shipments
the smelters nro again placing orders In
Lako.
Surprising results were obtained from a
five-tan test run of gold ore , shoveled from
the dump of the Summit mlno at Tellurlde
nnd put through the Illley & Mallard mill.
The linnl amalgam weighed fifty-six ounces
and the retort was worth $400 , which Is a
yield of $80 per ton , the best that has been
done In the county this year. The Summit
Is owned by Mr. O. V. I'osoy. who leased
It to Smith & Kent the first of the year ,
but retained an Interest In the samo. It
will be as extensively worked as the ground
opened up will permit , and ten stamps of the
Gold King mill have been leased to treat
the ore. The recommencement of work on
r the Summit , 1L having lain Idle for several
years past , tilila. another important and
valuable gold producer to San Miguel's
catalogue of gold mines.
An additional five-foot Huntlngton will
soon be In place In tha Ilelmont mill , which
Increases the number to three Huntlngtons
and will enable It to treat about eighty tons
of ore per day. A 100-ton lot of ore from
the Galena streak of the Delmont mlno will
ba treated this week at the San Bernardino
mill , It having undergone a thorough over
hauling during the winter shut down. The
machinery of the old Jack Haverly Golden
Group mill has been hauled down from Dear
creek to San Miguel , and , after being thor
oughly overhauled , will be set up In the
Beam process reduction works now being
built there. The plant Is fast nearlng com
pletion and It Is hoped to start the works
on the first lot of ore by July 20. The
operation of the new plant Is looked for
ward to by our mlno owners with deep In
terest , for Its success will make a profitable
mlno of every gold prospect In the county.
THE FULFORD MINES.
About two years and a half ago rich float
was discovered on the western sldo of the
main range , eighteen miles from Eagle sta
tion , on the Denver & Hlo Grande standard
gauge In Eagle county , sayj an Eagle spe
cial to the Denver News.
The discoverer was Art Fulford , who lost
his llfo In a snow slide six months later ,
but whose name has been perpetuated In
the name of the camp. Of the many hun
dred claims that have been located since ,
over 100 show pay on the surface , but the
owners arc mostly too poor to do any con
siderable development work , and heretofore
have been too avaricious and grasping to
unload at reasonable prices. Consequently
proper development has been greatly re
tarded. However , several properties have
progressed from prospects to paying mines ,
for a year ago $75,000 was refused by the
Ilarthold brothers for the Polar Star mine.
The gold Is free milling and the Polar Star
mlno has a twenty-five stamp mill.
Ore from the Johnson and Polar Star
mines has run from $20 to $35 per ton
and ono whole car load from the latter run
$30. The Polar Star has not been operat
ing for some ten months , having been
bonded by an Aspen party who Is negotiat
ing with a Now York syndicate , but looal
authorities say ho Is over reaching , and in
wanting1 too big a thing may make nothing.
Notwithstanding the causes that depress and
hold back Fulford , It Is certain to bo ono
of the prosperous and noted gold camps of
Colorado In the near future. The presiding
genius of the First National bank of Denver ,
who has a. wldo reputation for knowing a
good thing In mining when he sees It , has
largo Interests In Fulford. ,
niCH UINTAII REGION.
Mr. Holiday , ono of the parties interested
in the gold find , called at our sanctum and
gave us a few pointers In regard to the
discovery , says the Vernal ( Utah ) Express.
Their claims are on the headwaters of the
vast and west forljs of Ashley and the east
fork ofVlilto Rock creek. The dyke runs
nearly duo east and west and Is nearly fif
teen feet wldo and is composed of gneiss ,
porphyry and quartz. The dyke cuts the
formation and dips lightly to the north and
has every appearance of a true flssuro vein.
They have bought a mill slto of some parties
owning a claim adjoining them and when a
mill Is built can dump the ore from the
mouth of the tunnel into the mill.
Mr. Holiday says It is > all a mistake about
this being the Enoch Davis mlno. They
found the bones of two man and three horses
with some camp material. The camp showed
evidence of a hard fight and the men being
murdered and the victims of the crime being
burned to destroy any evidence of who and
what they were. It is a well known fact
among1 old settlers of this county that there
are good mines on and. near the Ulntah res
ervation and they are jealously guarded by
the Indians.
„
In early days a man named Rhodes would
go into the Ulntah mountains and comeback
back loaded with gold , but ho would not
glvo his secret away and no ono know whore
ho got It. On his deathbed he told hla son
where It was , and afterward the son was
killed by Indians whllo after the treasure ,
and thus the secret of Its whereabouts was
lost. Several parties have been organized at
different times to hunt for the lost mine , and
Bomci of them never returned.
Probably the camp found by the Hatch
party was ono of the camps of ono of these
parties.
There is no doubt that when the Enoch
Davis mlno is found that it will bo free gold
nnd very rich. With a few hundred men
hunting diligently , there Is a very small
ohanco for the secret of Its whereabouts to
remain a secret much longer , and when It Is
found It Is the supposition that tha Rhodes
mlno will bo found.
CLARK'S FORK PLACERS.
The placer diggings on Shoshone and
Clark's Fork rivers have been attracting a
largo amount of attention during the past
few weeks. At the present writing work
pn nearly all of these placer claims Is
suspended on account of high water. Tbou-
unnds of acres have been located and considerable
siderable- work has been dono. Numerous
holes and trenches have been sunk , but
bed rock was only reached at ono point , and
that situated on the Shoshone river just
below the Hot Springs. On the bars of
Clark's Fork iuOlcleut gold Is found from
the top down to make the whole pay. Mr.
Darrali and partner at their last clean-up
BOt $150 worth of gold dust for eighteen
days' work for two men and a team with a
Bcrn | > or.
John Rush cleaned up $300 , equal to $12
u day , so far for1 the same kind of an outfit.
Work on the bara of the river will not be
resumed until attur high water , U has boon
demonstrated that good wages can bo made
on most of the bars by men who understand
the work. Some minors eot too much aUnt
to thulr slulco boxes , thinking that the fine
gold would sink the same as in the old time
diggings. As consequence , they did not
succeed and left disgusted. Other miners
have gone there , expecting to find rich dig-
BliiE * like these of former days , and , of
course , wore disappointed.
From the point of view of the gold miner ,
the Shoahone and Clark's Furk may be re
garded as a gigantic ground sluice. Its val
ley , originally excavated In tertiary times
In the rocky substratum of the country , was
subsequently , during the glacial period ,
largely filled with drift material , through
whi H at a still later date , tha river has
had to rn-excovate Itfi bd , leaving great
series of benches along Its banks In many
places. As llila was gradually accomplished ,
a portion of the gold now found In Its bed
and banks has without doubt been worn out
of Its rocky mattrlx directly by the action
of tha river and Its immediate tributaries ,
while another portion may have been de
rived from the glacially transported drift
materials. The first mentioned moiety may
be supposed to Include the "coarse" gold ,
the last must bo In grtat part the "flno"
gold.A .
A great proportion of all this gold , from
whatever source derived , has been gradually
concentrated In the river bottom by the
action of the stream , while In many places
paying deposits have been left upon the sur
faces of benches at various levels , or buried
beneath their material , each such pay streak
representing some portion of a former bed
of the river , which has been left behind as
erosion progressed.
It Is true , beyond doubt , that extensive
and successful mining enterprises , based on
the application of tha dredging and of
amalgamating method of working , will yet
be Instituted along a great part of the
length of the Clark's Fork valley ,
THEY HBLIEVE THE DREAM.
A month or two since two strangers mndo
their appearance at the head of Spring
gulch at Idaho Springs. They were from
Denver and had come to look over the
country , preparatory to commencing work In
the mines , says the Denver News. The first
night they stopped at the cabin of Mr. Wil
liam Robinson , who owns -a number of valu
able claims In that locality. The next morn
ing Mr. Robinson , knowing they were ten-
dorfcct , told them a wonderful dream he
had during the night. Ho said he was standIng -
Ing In the cabin door thinking about his
latest find when all at once there appeared
before him an ancient surveyor and his as
sistant , both dressed It ) old-time costumes ,
with snow white hair and beard that reached
down to their knees. They appeared to bo
surveying the Hat that reaches for sfomo
distance nbovo the house. At length the
old surveyor approached Mr. Robinson ,
who stood spell-bound In the doorway
watching the proceedings. He pointed tea
a spot on the little brook with his right
hand and with his left pointed to the flat.
Just at this juncture Mr. Robinson's
vision seemed to pcnctrato tha ground ,
and ho could ECO the channel of an an
cient creek with untold millions of placer
gold lying on the bed-rock , In pot holes
and natural rlflles. Whllo ho was con
templating with greedy eyes this extraor
dinary sight the surveyor and his assist
ant vanished. Turning around to look again
at his strange visitors , Mr. Robinson awoke
to find It all a dream.
The tenderfcet were deeply Impressed with
the recital of the dream. The next day ono
of them went back to Denver to visit his
family and procure supplies , and almost in
the first words his wife said to him she
asked If he had not met and talked with a
tall gentleman who had long dark hair and
was dark comple\loned , giving a very good
description of Mr. Robinson. This settled
the verity of the dream In the minds of the
amateur prospectors , for the ono who had
gone to Denver lost no time In returning ,
and , telling his companion what his wife had
asked , they straightway commenced to run
a tunnel at the point Indicated by the ap
parition of the old surveyor.
When the late heavy rain storm came
on they had reached a depth of over 100
feet. The water loosened the earth and it
began to cave. They commenced to timber ,
but It was no use. The ground became too
soft , and they soon had to abandon their
work. The caving of the tunnel Is danger
ously near Mr. Robinson's cabin , and now
he is desirous of stopping their operations ,
but the more ho tries to dissuade them the
more determined are they to prosecute the
work , thinking doubtless that Robinson Is
scheming to obtain the riches hidden beneath
the flat for himself.
AN ARTESIAN BASIN.
Several weeks ago John Hess > Tegan work
on a deep well In the Sunflower valley , about
five miles south and west of town , on some
land whlch-Jio owns , says the Lamar ( Colo. )
Sparks. It was his Intention to find a good
vein of water and then put up a windmill to
raise the water for his stock. The other day
the drillers unexpectedly encountered a vein
of artesian water at a depth of a little more
than 100 feet. The flow was about equal to
that of the town well and the work of drill
ing was continued. Since then the flow of
water has doubled In volume , and Mr. Hess
feels confident that he will have a two-Inch
stream when the well la cased. The hole Is
eight Inches In diameter and It Is the Inten
tion to case It with two-Inch pipe. The cost
of the well complete will not exceed $150.
The portion of the country where this
valuable flow was discovered was all set
tled upon seven or eight years ago , when
Lamar was founded , and the soil and
situation are all that could be desired.
Dut the Inability to secure water for Ir
rigation caused the abandonment of the
land for farms under ditches on the north
side and nearer the river. A great many
of the claims were proved up , but there is
not a single settler left in the locality.
Mr. Hess' lucky strike has caused con
siderable Interest , and If It Is .found that
flowing wells can be had throughout the
district at such a moderate cost farms In
that section will be In demand and some
of the best agricultural land In the county
will become productive.
MAMMOTH HOSPITAL.
This resort is at last to have a sanitarium
which will bo worthy of the name , says a"
Manitou special to the Sun-Times of Den
ver. It will be an institution that will
prove a formidable rival of like places at
Ilattle Creek , Mich. , and other eastern
points. The sanitarium will bo owned and
operated by the Manitou Sanitarium com
pany , which It is proposed to incorporate
with a capitalization of $1,000,000. The
building proper will bo six stories high ,
with a frontage of 260 feet and a depth of
105 feet. It will bo built of Manitou red
sandstone and white pressed brick , and will
cost , complete , $600,000.
A proposition has been made to Colonel
C. W. Darker , owner and proprietor of the
Barker house , to purchase the property on
which the hotel stands , and it is probable
that the proposition will be accepted. This
would give the sanitarium company a block
of land with a frontage of 300 feet on Mani
tou avcnuo and 225 feet on Navajoc. avenue.
The building will fcavo accommodations for
1,000 patients , who will bo treated for every
disease known to the medical world by
the best corps' ' of physicians obtainable.
It is proposed to divide the sanitarium
Into five departments , allowing tbo whole
of ono floor to each department. On the
ground floor will bo the reception rooms ,
billiard and pool rooms , a bowling alley
and other amusements for the use of the
guests. In the basement will .bo baths
of every description , Including Russian
and Turkish baths , and a large plunge
bath or swimming pool. It Is also pro
posed to have the boiler rooms and elec
tric machinery in the basement.
The Intention Is to make the building
modern In every respect. It will be
heated with cither hot water or steam ,
and lighted from the company's own
electric plant. Electricity will bo used
In every way as far as possible.
On the roof of the building will bo a
summer garden and dancing pavilion ,
where a tine orchestra will discourse
pleasing music. In fact , nothing will be
left undone which might add to the
entertainment and amusement of the
guests and patients of the sanitarium.
Prominent physicians of New York ,
Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago are said
to be interested In the scheme , among
whom is Included Dr. Baer of Philadelphia
and others equally as well known.
A GILA MONSTER.
H. G. Bates of Park City , Utah , has n pot
which is not a very attractive ono except
that It belongs to a rare species. Mr , Kimball -
ball , his partner In business , lately went to
ArUona , and. having captured a
glla monster eighteen Inches long , shipped
It to Mr. Dates , who placed It In a box with
. glass front and placed it on exhibition ! i.
his drug store. It has a head similar to a
rattlesnake and much resembles a lizard ,
and yet It Is very different. Its color Is
orange-salmon , covered by black spots , much
resembling carpet patterns or bead work.
Its four legs are all black , with five claws
on each , and It is able to get around very
lively when the temperature runs up to over
100 , and It Is not In Its element when below
70 , It is a rare species , being unknown to
Inhabit any country except a spot about
fifty miles square In southwestern Arizona ,
where U Is summer all the tlmu and gets
hot enough to make life a burden to common
mortals , llclng as venomous as the worst
of poisonous snakes It l not safe to handle ,
and U Is liable to soon ba put to sleep with
a doao of chloroform and consigned to a
bottle so well tilled with alchohol that It
Be Sure and At You Ought Not
tend It. Miss It.

A FOOL. INDIAN.
"I was at Tahlequah when the distribu
tion of the purchase money for the strip to
the Cherokees commenced , " said Albert Gar-
rigan of Chicago to a St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat reporter. "A more Interesting scene
than this collection of Indians could scarcely
be imagined , but the most peculiar sight tome
mo waa the action of a young bravo , who
declined to accept the amount offered to him
on the ground that the government owed
him $100 from some previous apportionment.
"lie speaks English well , and I was
among those to whom ho told his grievance.
As he has a wife and children his family
apportionment offered him was over $1,000 ,
but ha declined absolutely to accept It un
less the other $100 was added. Ho was
told very kindly that It was impossible to
accede to his demand , and he was advised
to take the $1,000 and make a special claim
fpr the $100.
"Almost any white man would have fallen
In with the suggestion , and It Is an InterestIng -
Ing Illustration of Indian stolldncss and ob
stinacy that this man positively left the
town empty-handed and swore that he would
