'Io the late autumn the toper was
called away from Denver. He did not
return till Christmas time. The con

for him. and the day after his return

i. Mines Yery Active.
The Indiana Mine, the chief en
terprise In this locality, is the scene
of unusual activity.. Sinking in the
shaft was carried on all winter and
a depth of 600 feet attained from a
previous depth of 300 feet. Recently
cross cutting was begun. at the' 600
foot level and proceeds slowly, being
hindered by an excess of water. The
ore values are gold and copper- but
the' deeper workings are said to show
little but copper. An effort Is being
made by the management ot secure
the Installing of a small smelter for
the mine but with what probability
of success is not known outside. The
fuel supply of the mine is cord wood,
or rail wood and as thev want 2500
cords tliia year, costing, from $3.50
to $6 a cord, this means the putting
of considerable money in circulation
here. Bad roads and lack of wood
cutters having made a shortage" of
wood. Manager Eobt. Veach has run
the mine for a month past on old
fence rails from the company's and
adjoining farms., :
