Show THE ARGUS. 14 CONCENTRATES. Camp Columbine in Colorado is said to be more of a gold than a sil- ver camp. The Isabella Cold Mining Company of Colorado paid a quarterly f dividend this month of two and cents per share. The Eldorado Tunnel at Boulder, Colorado, is making a splendid showing this spring and promises to increase it3 output materially. The Weekly Miner of Boss land. B. of C., contains an interesting write-uthe Trail smelter, showing its remarkable growth and increase of business. Latest reports from African mines would seem to indicate that they are petering out. The gold country of the future is to be found west of the one-hal- p Bockies. C. D. Lane, a prominent mining man of the Coast paid $150,000 for a The Mendocino mine last week. mine is located on 2SOO acres of gravel bar which is very rich iu gold, and great results are expected from the systematic working of the mine. The Silver State says : At a Bands-burfuneral the spectators amused themselves by snowballing the pallbearers, and when the parson took his stand at the head of the grave he became the general target at which all the snowballs were aimed. The water supply of Bandsburg is naturally limited as the great gold camp is located near the heart of the Mojave desert. There is a small well six miles from the town, a small lake ten miles distant and a good supply of water twenty miles away. A system of pumps and pipes is being agitated. Since the first of March ore shipments from the Pikes Peak mine at Cripple Creek, has been as follows : Two and one half tons of $S4G ore, tons of $240 ore, twenty twenty-twtons of tons of $90 ore, twenty-tw$40 ore and sixteen tons of $30 ore, making a total output of 82 J tons, with a valuation of $10,555, with other shipments to hear from. A dispatch from Cochiti, Xew Mexico reports that new leases and bonds are. being made there almost daily the last being made between the Miners Delight claim and a Santa Fe pafty for $50,000. This claim joins the famous Victor group, at the head of Colla canyon. Work will at once be commenced and this property vein opened up. This is a running $47.00 gold on an average. A Creede correspondent says : The phonolite dikes of Cripple Creek are the favorite prospecting grounds. Why should not the rhyolite dikes of Creede prove to be valuable? But they have been utterly neglected. So far as the writer is aware, not a single opening has been made in the contact with these dikes. The dikes, too, are very strong, and can be traced with ease and rapidity for long distances throughout the camp. g o o 15-fo- ot The riehest gold strike ever made in northern Idaho has just been made in the Comer d Alene country. A mammoth ledge of quartz bearing heavy gold constitutes the find and a four inch vein of almost pure gold is vouched for bv several who claim to have seen it. They are pounding the rock in a hand mortar, washing it in pans and making gold bars on the spot without the aid of modern machinery. Xew finds are reported from Owl Creek, Idaho. A four-foledge of quartz that will mill about $30 is the last find. This strike of quartz, says the Bepublic, added to the placer strike made last summer by the is liable to cause the Bitter-rooteto make extra efforts this summer to extend their road across the divide into Idaho, as they are determined to reap the benefits from this part of the country that Lemhi county seems to ignore. m ot Bus-sian- s, rs MISCELLANEOUS.
