'rhe Union 01\ \ company , which Is now ' operating -
atlng at Florence , made the richest strike
In the way of oil \ ever made before In the
Colorado oil fields. While the work was
steadily progressing , says a Florence Slle-
clal to the Denver Times , a flow of oil was
struck with a 50 . pound pressure" while all
former strikes have not been stronger than
lllne ounces.
The company's expert stateS that the flow
Is not unlike those of Plmnsylvanla. The
pFessuro was tested by endeavoring to force
water Into the well. It was found that by
this experiment the water was thrown some
fifty feet Into the air.
The well In \vhlch the strike was made
la situated at Coal Creek , a. calllp about two
miles from this place.
1 . The strlko has created qulto an excitement
In this locallly , and the people are gathering
from all points near by to Inspect the lInd.
. A party returned from the place ! report that
the pressure Is fully as great as the Pennsylvania -
vJlnla oft wells. The company Is making
arrangements to build an extensive plant In
the district to handle the Immense amount of I
oil which will bo henceforth produced. '
" , LEADVII.LE'S NEW YEAR GIFT.
The strikes did not end with the old year.

dlscovt'ry of mineral which 1& of considerable -

ready driven down 150 feet when the network V
work commenced , and cnty-lIve feet additional -

covered the bottolll or the shaft was opl'ned
up and sunk Into four Jeer with atilt n do i

that city. A telephone line bas also been
established between this plaCe and Ounnlson.

The country embracing the Green mountain
district consists of low hills , ridges and
gulches. It Is one of the most favored
spots In Colorado for mining throughout. the
entire year , the hills being so low that snow
will Interfere but very little. Wagons can
go any place over the hills without dlmculty.
The country Is barren , but timber for mining
and building purposes Is easily accessible.
The general formation of the district Is
schist , porphyry and quartzite. A large
porphyry dyke passes through It from north-
west to southeast which Is plainly visible ,
and float Is thrown out over the hills for
miles.
"HOLY TERROR" IN LITIGATION.
The famous Holy Terror mine , which Is
just j now causing so much talk In mining
circles on account of the ' great richness of
the are taken from It , has become Involved In
a lawsuit says n Chamberlain special to the
Mlnueapo\s : \ 'frlbune. It appears that several
years ago the ground covered by this mine
was located by Jacob F. Reed William
Franklin and Thomas C. Dlalr. Reed subse-
quently died , and Thomas C.-Dlalr , who Is
married to one of hilt ! daughters , was appointed -
pointed admlnstrn.tor of deceased's estate.
When the time rolled } around to do the an-
nual assessment work on the various locations -
tions owned In part by the estate ho did
not think enough of the Keystone lode No.
3-now the Holy Terror mine-to spend any
money upon It. Accordingly the ground was
not represented. Last summer , however , by
a lucky accident a daughter of William
Franklin found the ledge on the location
which has made the mine famous as a gold
producer. The mlno' was at once relocated
by Thomas C. Blair and William Franklin
under the name of Holy Terror mine. Within
a short time Blair and Franklin deeded n
one-hair Interest In the mine as payment for
the erection of a stamp mill on the property
It Is contended by the attorneys for the
heirs of Heed that , although the minD was
subject to relocation for failure to do the
annual assessment work , the fact that It
was not relocated by strangers , but by the
owners of hvo . thirds of the old location , even
though' under a new name , all the work per-
formed by the parties to the old partnership
makes the title of Heed'a ! heirs good ; and ,
further that as one of the parties was administrator -
ministrator of the estate of Heed , his acts
are binding upon him as an adutlnlstralar
The case will present this new question to be
passed upon by the courts.
TO AE1'ELOl' DAIRYING
The dry season for several years , coupled
with the low prices for grain product , has
begun to turn the attention of South Dakota
farmers more extensively to dairying , says
the Sioux Falls Argua . Leader , and as a result -
salt the past few months kayo seen a number
of local conventions , or farmers' Institutes , ,
so called , at different points over the state
to dlscllss the question of dairy products ,
Many of these conventions have been at .
tended by Pro . Wharton of the agricultural I
college at nrooldngs , who Is taking an acth'e
Interest In the movement , and attends sup
plllld with the necoasary machinery for les-
Sons In practical butter making , and Is earn
estly at work to develop dairying In this
.taco .
As an outcome of the numerous local meetIngs -
legs D. W. Dake of Wcasinglon who In 1874
was au active promoter of the National lint
ter and ERR association , yet In existence , bas I
called a meeting at Huron to perfect a stab ! ,
dairying aBlioclation.
COLORADO LIVE STOCl
The day may never return In Colorado
when a roundup of 80,000 head of cattle will 1
result from a day's ' drive , but the breaking
UII of the big range herds has made no dll-
crease In the sum fooled Uf to the crE'tllt
of the business at the close of the year , say .
the Denver Itepubllcan. H bas been accepted
for several rears that the formers are the
true cattle men In the slate today , std the
figures for 189t prove that they managed lho
Industry well. A showing of 1,169.2 0 ken
or cattle , nearly 250,000 moro sheep , and
40,000 hogs Is not bad for a state that went
out of the stock business eight years ago.
Doth for the assoclaUcn grower and the
farmer the cattle business has been a good
ono this year , as compared with years past ,
a small percentage of loss and a heavy one
of calves being reported by both classes , and
prices , while low , have held pretty steady
and the market been strong at the selling
times ,
Sheep men have suffered heavily from the
low prices of wool , and In many districts the
freight and marketing expenses attached to
this product have been almost ruinous to the
Induslly. But with the profits of the past to
encourage them to hold on to theirr flocks ,
growers of sheep are giving more attention
to the feeding ot withers and solo of lambs
ft.r . muttons. An 'esllmato of $300,000 IB

THE GOLDEN FLEECE
Development on the Golden Fleece , says
the Lake ' City ( Col ) Times , has continued
steadily during / the past year . , and as a result
sult a. great deal of ground Is now opened ,
up , and to an extent that guarantees rte . the
owners continued dividends of 2 per cent
per month for limo next year and a tinlL Developments -
velopments below the lowest level , which
have h recently been made by sinking a winze ,
show that the ore continues down In a8 good
quantities as has ever been shown up In the
mine : Machinery Is now being purchased
of sufficient capacity to sink this winze to a
depth of 500 feet which will he done as fast
as practlca.ble. The output for the past year
has been In the neighborhood of $150,000 ,
with a very limited number of the force
working on ore , the principal part of the
force having been devoted to development.
Tim mine has now Ilaid dividends steadily
for the past twenty-eight months.
PROSPEROUS TELLURIDE.
Telluride was never In a better or healthier
condition nor the outlook so promising and
encouraging than at the present time , says a
special to the Denver News. She has enjoyed
an unprecedented prosperity during the yoar.
Merchants of every description have done a
thriving business. The three hotels have
been taxed to their utmost capacity , and a
stock company with a capital of $36,000 Is
'
now being organized to build a large brick
hotel on the old Watson house site on Main !
street. It Is calculated to have this structure -
turn completed by early spring.
There Is scarcely a vacant dwelling house
In the town and several new ones are under
course of erection to accommodate families
who have decided to make Telluride their
homo. New business enterprises are starting
'
1111 wherever a storeroom Is available and
doing a profitable business.
GOVERNMENT IRRfOATION
The growth and development of the coun-
try tributary to Idaho Falls has probably
been equal to that of allY section of the state ,
says a correspondent of the Boise Statesman.
In 188 the Eagle Hock & Willow Creek
Water company , Including the Anderson
canal , was organized. It appropriates 100,000
Inches of tllo waters of the Snake and covers
75,000 acres. This was the first attempt to
bring the arid lands of this section under
cultivation. Since then the Great Western
and the Idaho Canal companies have com-
pleted s'stems covering nearly 75,000 acres
each. An extension of tile Idaho canal
through a part of the Fort Hall reservation
Is about to bo undertaken by the government ;
and thn allotment and final settlement with
the Indians prior \ to the opening of the reservation -
vation , It can bo said , will occur at no dla
taut date. The litrlp of country from Idaho
Falls to Pocatello , Including a large part ot
the reservation lands , Is a flat , open sago
brush plain , with
scarcely any settlement ex-
cept near Idaho Falls and Dlacltfoot where
the settlements are quite extensive and ot a
permanent class
THE LETTER MINES. .
One of the least lalked . about yet the most
prominent group of mines In Southern Montana -
terra , Is that which , Is known as the I.elter
mines says the Mining Reporter They are
located on Wisconsin crock , a tributary of
the RUby river , and about seven miles from
Sheridan , which Is the second largest city 1 In
Madison county. The group consists of
IIlIeen [ mines , all CJf which have been patent
and three of them arc now being extensively
worked 'fhese are the Gray Eagle , the Sher-
luau and the Champion. IJesldes the official
force , there are lOG men on the pay roll at
the mina and mill
The development " ot the mines consists of
a 1OO.toot : : tunnel on the Gray Eagle and
700 feet of tunneling on the Sheridan , tap
ping the ledge at . a depth at 250 ( ) fact I ' rom
the Intersection of the two tunnels a shaft
bas been lSunk 200 feet and a further 100
feet bas been ! started. At this depth the
o re vein on the dray Eagle Is twent-four
feet wide , with a fine pay streak of about
one-third of that width.
