The "Silvery San Juan" Is not all silver , but has n golden lining to Its big white coat. anll that gold Is enough to male the mining of its ores an object. Last um- mar more prospectors hunted over the his about Slh'eron than visited that section In many previous years , all the fact was ad- /.i mltted that Slverton was livelier than for along long time Past.

"If the claim Bet Ull by tIme Drltsh Is crrect , there Is a prospect tbat Juneau will core within lie limits of the territory clalld by the Briish under their Interllre- toton of the description of the boundary " says G. A. Carpenter , editor of the Alaska News , In 1 recent Interview with 1 reporter of the Soatlo PosL-Irilolilgemmcer. "This dcii- cription sa.1 that , In the absence of a mountain - tain range , the boundary shall bo within ten marine leagues of the coat line. Tbe American Idea 1 that time line shah follow the ICnderlng of the ban and tnloll.

EXTENSIVE PLACERS LOCATlm. Over In ulhweslern Colorado D. F. Grant , Heber J. Grant and associates have located several thousand acres of placer grounds Iong the banks of the Dear , Sand and five other creek whlcb few down Cram the Santa Cristo range Into the San Luis valley . says the Sal rang Herald , and these vast deposits of gohl.bearing sands arc to be worked with the coating spring for the purpose - pose of determining just what there Is In them All Indications point to the suoeess- tub termlnalon of the teats which were commence a short . time ago and abandoned for time prescnt on account or the cold weather , and should the 10chino which the locators are experimenting with prove all that the Inventor claims for It , tben the gentemen at time head of the enterprise , ham fortunes awaiting them In the sands I of the seven creeks whIch have been located Speaklmig of the proposition , D. F. Grant stated that hundreds or assays and tests made with Band from all or the locations secured , by himself anti , associates gave re- turns of front 60 cents to 76 cents per cubic yard , amid the deposits are practically limit- less. Some very rich spots h\o : been found and these will be experlmenled upon In the spring. The tests just made were for the IJrlmary purpose or determining whether or I nol the oxide of Iron In the sand carried . the gold or whether the metal Is free. I i was fully demonstrated that the ground Is 11ro placer all time gold rree. These gold bearing sands arc evidently the wash from the ledges of the great dIstricts surrounding Cripple Cleel , . Time general formation of time country Is as represented , decomposed quartz and purphyry predominating. Should the tests to be made within time next two months prove fully successful , operations on nn extensive scale are to bo commenced , and the locators or the great stretches Dr sand wi have n bonanza In the possession of the properties. propertcs.KEYSTONE KEYSTONE WEALTH. Test runs are being made here of the are of the Crow Peak Mining company , says a Deadwood special to the Sioux Pals Argus- Leoder. Tests made with 0 pan and mortar have given returns amounting to from $20 to $46 per ton. The company has a large quantity of are already extracted and will ship It to Cenlrllf latCoctory arrangement can be made. On this test run depends the erection of a large plant at the mine. Plans have already been made out for the mill and a great deal or work will be inaugurated I the test Is successful. I is believed the property will be a second Homestake. The Keystone Mining company Is arranging to pay the outstanding Indebtedness of the company - pony and provide a fund for the purchase of maclinery ' and for extensive development. There IB no question now but that the Key- stone wilt make and become a permanent mine and a contnuous producer. The Key- steno stands for the entire gold belt of time huh. The fact that this mine bas shown a cntnuous are . body to its present depth of J50feet , that the ore while low grade . Is It that ' depth undiminished In quality , Is the best proof ' possible to prospective Investors that the entire blt on which It IB located I a safely profitable investment A NEW GOLD CAMP. The now gold camp at Alombra Is situated - ated twenty-two miles above town , says a Parkdale special to the Denver Republican. from which there Is now a good wagon road at water grade , the only wagon road now open and In condition for levy freighting , beIng some eight or ten miles shorter titan the route from Canon City , also lyIng on the southern slope of tIe divide time entire distance - tance , thus leaving I free tram snow tie greater portion ot the winter. This road will probably be Bhortened In length by cut- ting tlrough Curran creek canyon , thereby making the total distance tram Porkdale to time camp nineteen miles. Parties wlo are just In , Cram Alhambra are exhibiting specimens of ore showing considerable - slderahlo free gold , and which run from two to five ounces to the ton Corbett camp which Is located five miles this side of Alhambra all thirteen miles northeast or 'Parkdale , also has some promising proper- ties opened up thai are now shIpping some ore which runs from one to three ounces In gold. I Is evident that the mineral belt on whIch Alhambr Is located extends south along Currant creek a far as this poInt. Considerable prospecting has been done In thIs vicinity during the past year , but as yet nothing but low grade are has been en- countered. Much faih , . however. Is being shown by the fact that considerable develop- meat work Is proposed for early spring , Bare contracts haYing already .een let A CO-OPERATIVE COAL MINE. THe Renton coal mine , 'hich has been shut down , for the past eight years will Boon b reopened and worked by a co.operaUve companY - panY , Time mine was owned by Mr. Simpson of San Francisco , and was operated until the miner went In a strike some eight years . ago , when Mr. Simpson closed It , says the Seattle Post-Intehligencer. Mm' Daniels , the chief promoter , said In explanation of his project : "The Renton coal mine property consists of about 886 acres of land , 16 lots , 60x20 feet tn size and a few fractional lots In the mot desirable portion of the original plat of Henton : also between $3.000 and $5,000 of per- pr. Bonal property , consisting of nlucblnery , mine car otc. "l will require but o ' small expenditure to place time mines on a shlpplnl basis. There are four workable veins of frt class coal The property Is known among miners aB bew Ing a 'freo mine , ' thai Is , being entirely free from fro and deadly gases. The mine Is only about ten miles from Seattle. The Col- umbia , & I'uget Sound railroad and the 'Belt Ltno of the Norther Pacific railroad reach the property , affording transportation to Set- tie , Tacoma and tidewater . "Tho capital stock of time company Is $100- 000 , In 1,030 shares of $100 each , non-as- semmsabio . ' "The company proposes to' confine its mem- bershllJ to competent workmen , to PY first- i class wages and offer regular employment to its shareimolders , who will have the preference right of employment , making It an object for good men to become Interested In the enter- . prise ; to allow consumers or coal to acquire shares , thereby maIling them Interested In the welfare of the company and entitling them to a share of the profits. "The stock II being rapidly subscribed for and there Is every evidence lint the miners of King and Pierce counties bave become very enthuslaslc In the movemeut. The mile will require a superintendent , mine foreman , en. glneers , machlnhts , blacksmihs , loggers , I teamsters , and many laborers , with preference right ot work to those who are atockimolders " !

The story has just leaked out of on atempt to jump the famous War Eagle mine lu thl Trail creek country In British Columbia says a Spokane special to the Dmver News. Amen named Toppings , a barkeeper , was found surveying and staking out the ground on- which the mine Is located He was ques- toned by the mine superintendent what his purpose was , and he informed him thot he was locating the caim , os the preBent owners had forfeited their rights to the mine by allowing - lowing their miners' license to expire. This was found to be true. Patsy Clarlr. the mmiii- lonaire miner , wh Is president of the War Eagle company , was wired at Spokane or the desperate situation and danger of the mil } being jumped. He , wih D C. Corbln , president - dent of the Spokane Falls & Northern railroad - rood , and also a slockhol.r In the mine , ordered out a special engIne and coach and a mile a minute gait was struck for Nelson , D. C. , 200 miles north of here . where the necessary - sary license was secured under the Canadian mining laws. I. was necessary to take out a license In order to hold or work any minIng property. Clark then immediately returned to the mines and showing Toppings the Ii- cense , and running a good strong bluff , lie Induced him to abandon his attempt to junip the mine. The War Eagle Is a gold and cop. per mine and Is valued at $1,000,000. NEDRASKA. , Cumlng county teachers convene at 'Vest Point on March 2. .
