MINING MATTERS.During the month of October the Free-

land produced $22,555.81 illgold, silver andcopper.

An eighteen-inch vein of solid ore hasbeen opened up in the liottoin of the shaft

on the Centennial mine at Georgetown.

The Leadville smelters reduce about 5,000tons of sulphide ore per month. It is quite

likely that at an early day all the smelters

will be forced to erect additional calcining

furnaces.There is a possibility of a renewal of ac-

tive competition between Leadville and val-

ley smelters. Both the Pueblo and Holdenworks are bidding for the output of Lead-ville mines.

The low-grade ores in the vicinityof Ir-

win have been worked successfully at theconcentrating works operated by Mr. Nich-

ols, at that place. They will run untilthe

supply of water gives out.

Six bars of gold bullion, weighing 6,071ounces, were shipped east from the Legal

. Tender mill last Saturday. This millnowSships from 6,000 to 10,000 ounces of bullion a

week.—Pitkin Mining News.

'‘The Arkansas Valley smelting works has

about 15,000 tons of ore on hand. Pending

the low price of lead,the company is making

no effort at a heavy bullion production and

is running very conservatively,—Herald-Democrat.

Jim Allen,foreman of the Mattie mine,brought down the other day the handsomestpiece of ore we ever saw. It weighed from

‘JO to 30 pounds, and was one mass of wiresilver. Mr. Chipman took it east with him.—ldaho Springs News.

The ore shipments from Red Cliff for theweek ending November 11 were as follows:

Butler 2, First Chance 2, Polar 4, Iron Mask6, Wilmot 1, King Fisher 2, Eureka lease 1,Rocky Point 4, Star of the West 2, Little

Chief 1, Eby lease 1, total 26 cars.

The Silver Bell on Red Mountain, in SanJuan county, is now a large ore-producer.

Contracts have been made with the ArgoSmelting Works for the delivery of 500 tonsof ore withinsixty days of signing the con-

tract. and as much more as the mine canproduce during the time allotted.

If silver holds up to present rates, Tel-

luride willbe a booming camp next year.Its gold prospects will be a leading attrac-

tion. No less than twenty instruments

bonding gold properties of this district toNew York parties, were drawn by one of

our attorneys this week.—Telluride Repub-lican.

We are inclined to the belief that a min-ing boom is coming. Not the reckless andnonsensical buying of 1879 to 1882, but theIMissibility of disposing promptly of goodproi»erties at fair prices. The time is com-ing, we believe, when a mine can be sold or

encumbered as easily as a piece of real es-

tate, its value being the basis of the trailsac

tion.—Mining Review.The German mine, at the head of Virginia

Canon, after producing thousands of dol-

lars in years past, lias stood idle for a longtime. But recently a party of leasers tookhold «dthe property, and after taking the

wateifout commenced sinking, and, we arepleased to note, have been rewarded bystriking ore worth $125 per ton. There are

other mines in the county that only need de-velopment to show up as big ns the German.—ldaho Springs News.

Last month the Adams Miningcompanydeclared a double dividend. Yesterday thedirectors sigain met to divide among thestocklioli&rs of the company the earnings ofthe past f lontli. The result was the declar-ation of the regular monthly dividend, No.34, of ten cents a share, and also an extra offive cents a share, aggregating $22,500.This makes the total dividends to date $3.50per share, and the total amount paid $524,-500.—Herald-Democrat.

The Lost Lode in Horseshoe Basin is nowin a line lxsly of ore, the character of whichis gray copper, galena, native and chlorides.Tests have been made resulting in from $lBup to $8,222 3-10 in silver, and $9 to S3O ingold. The vein matter is 8 feet in width,witha pay-streak 12 inches in solid ore. Fromthe main tunnel a cross-cut of 98 feet cut theshaft at 115 feet, near which the body of orewas found. Six tons of ore have been takenout this week and'will be ship]»ed for a test.Will report on returns.—Sol id Muldoon.

Leadville has output from her mines sinceJanuary Ist, 1886, nearly $13,000,000. It isnot at all improbable that by the end of theyear this camp can claim credit for $15,000,-000, $3,000,000 more than for 1885. And yetwe are told that the palmy days of Leadvilleare gone, and that this enterprising city ison tiie down grade, of municipal as well asfinancial prosperity. The outlook for nextyear is even better than it was in Novem-ber, *BS. A large amount of dead work hasbeen done and probably from fifty to seven-ty-live new mines will be producing withthe incoming of the new year. We say, hur-rah for the Carbonate Camp!—Mining Re-view.

The Cora Bell mine, on East Fryer hill, isdoing/fctu y well, the mine shipping fromeight ttyen tons a day of high grade ore.The mineral is a flint, and full of native,chloride and ruby silver. The combinationof silver is an odd one, and as far as a pecu-liarity goes, the ore is strange, beingnothing but black flint and cheet. The val-ue of the ore body jier ton could not be as-certained, neither the extent of the ore bodyas now developed. The property, however,we believe lias the making of a great mine,and with the completion of the new shaftwill prove up wonderful results.—Heraid-Democrat.

Mr. McGee, the well-known freighter be-tween Aspen and Granite reports that fromthe 31st of March to the 7th of October, thisyear, the total shipments of Aspen (re viaGranite amounted to 1,300 tons, for which

was paid an average of sl6 freight, Includ-ing the handling of sacks, loading and un-loading. It has come down now to $lO andsl2 and the present ore shipments via Gran-ite do not exceed 80 tons per month. To St.Elmo and Gunnison via Crested Butte theshipments have hardly reached 100 tons.There is a good deal of freight going intoAspen, about 300,000 pounds awaiting ship-ment now. Freight into Aspen front Gran-ite is $1.75 to $2.50 per 100 pounds.—Mine,Stack and Rail.

In referring to the back numbers of theMiner we find that there were shipped fromthe Georgetown depot during October, 1885,830 tons 800 pounds of ore. During thecorresponding month of 1886, there wereshipited 915 tons. These figures show an in-crease of about 85 tons, and yet we hearsome croakers say that the shipments havedecreased. The Miners’ Sampling works, ofthis place, handled during the month of Oc-tober, 1885, 280 tons of ore,the average valueof which was $132.32 per ton, silver being$1.03, making a total of $30,433. Comparethis with-the shipments of October thisyear, when the same works handled 386tons, of an average value per ton of abouslOl, silver averaging $.98; total value, $39,000. And we venture to assert that this con-trast will hold good with other works.—Colorado Miner.

Swapping Wives.

A Chatham, North Carolina, specialsays a white man named Moore was sent tothe chain gang on Saturday for havingtraded wives with another man. WhenJudge Gilman asked him what he had to saywhy sentence should not be passed he re-plied that he did not know that his act wasa crime. A man came to his house with awoman that was better looking than his ownwife, and bantered him for a trade, so heswapped and paid $l5O to boot. As this washis first swap,he hoped that the Court wouldimpose a light sentence.

The other man who was a party to thetrade has not been apprehended, as he livessome miles up in the country, and the offi-cers have been unable to catch him.

Workingmen’s Political Party.

Ppiladelphia, Pennsylvania, Nov.14.—The first conference of workingmenwith a view to forming anew political par-ty in this citywas held here to-day. Therewere present representatives from variousKnights of Labor assemblies to the numberof about 250, and a temporary organizationwas formed with James McFreely as chair-man. After a fulldiscussion it was decidedthat all the trades unions and labor organi-zations in the city should be invited to par-ticipate in the movement for a new party.The Mayoralty contest in February nextwillbe selected as that upon which to makethe first fight
