COW CRKKk I'LAl'EKS. One ol the most extensive mining proper! iea in tbe state ia tbat of the ABO Miuing Company, on the south side ol Cow creek, a few miles this aide of Ulendale. Be fore the recent reincorporation it waa called the Mutory mine. Ihe pla cer deposit owned by the company, which is com posed of Chicago capitalists, baa au area of 1000 acres, traversed by two old chaunela, one laperpoeed on the other. The lower channel consists of a stratum of blue gravel from 40 to 60 lost in depth and 100 yards wide, and the upper cnannei ox res gravai irom eu to 100 feet deep, with an average width ol one mile. During the past wloter, four Siants were used, -each-of whinh pro ucdln 24 honrs $100 in gold. The amount inveated ia $175,000, but wilb this Increased to at least llttO.OOO by tbe construction of 20 milea of ditch, tapping McCully creek, lor which the riparian riuhts have been secured, water in sutn- cieut volume com a ixt ootaiuea to oner ate a ball dozen or more giants. Ihere are now three miles of ditch summed by two creeks. An essential part oi the Dreseiit ulaut is a steam pump, having capacity ol 8,000,000 gallona per day. It elevates the water of Cow creek 36.6 feet into a reservoir which runs one giant li'JO feet below. Tbe dump has an eleva tiuu ol from 80 to 10J feet, aud Cow creek, when swollen, carries oil' all the debris. Tho number ol men employed when tbe mine ia boimz worked is from 20 to 30 Adjoiuiug the ABC property on the game side ot the stream is the Tuller placer ground, about 200 acres, owued by the now Victory company. It operates one giant. At tbe limits of its territory tha i ili I channels reannear on the north side of the creek, where is located the Yolk mino, embracing from 20J lo 300 acres.

Fourteen miles east of Itosuburg, ou podaou mountain, which rlres to height of 3U00 (cut, iB a miueral deceit ol vast extent, winch has been little explored. A number of claims have beou located, but a comparatively small amount ol development work has been done. Messrs. Kiev, Kimball and Hml, who own the Black Itepubtlcaa, have dis played the moet enterprise la this re- stwet. This mine compntos three par allel veins, wblch Lave beoa traced lor miles, haying respectively a pidin oi , 1 1 and 10 fw t, in syenite and diorite formations. The ore obtained consists of cbalco-pyritcs, assaying from 6 to 14 tier cent in copper and irow v to --' per ton in gold, in miners- parlance, u Is a "Iiom uroDoaition." lb re tunnel have been driven into this mine, one 40 (set in length, another 12s feet, and tbe third 100 feet.

I OKKXK t'MkMbK. The mutt famou mining camp ol pio neer days was at Coffee creek and Texas gulch, tributary to the South Uinpua, where a neb strike was mane in As early as Ptt2. however, gold had been obtained in paying quantities at the mouth of the creek, f rom tbe condition ol tbe banks at present, it is evident tbat tbe pay dirt ex i ted exclusively on the right bank going up stream, the opposite bank showing little indication ol haviog been disturbed. Hundreds ol men for a few short yeara hekl high carnival here lib the millions ol dollsr they dug out of the ground Twenty, thirty, fifty dol lars per mao was tbe average daily out put, and occasionally .nuggets were picked up running from a hundred to several hundred dollars in value. The saloons located on the creek aod tbe 5 ambler gathered a golden harvest, be miners wildly squandered their easily gotten wealth as long a their claims 1 1 eld out. and but -few ol itiem looked out for the inevitable rainy day. Fifty-dollar slugs were more plentiful than nickels are now. , It is possible tbat, if an excavation were made iu tbe bluff above tbe ngbt bank ol tauee creek, to bedrock, a continuance ol tbe same auriferous deposit might be found. Miners say ttiat gold never was lound in Cotleo creek above Texas gulcb. Several miles up this gulch the aucieut channel is covered by conglomerate rocks wbich in turn are covered by a slide from tbe mountaio aide. It is believed by ex iwrte tbat, by drifting in several direc tions under the conglomerate, the chan nel would be found, which, juding from tbe erstwhile richness of Coffee creek, would probably yield bushels of gold. ... Format Reerve-Rgu(atron8. Much attcutiou baa been paid recent ly by tbe ireneral land office at Washing ton to the preparation of rules snd regu lations applicable to tbe government of the various forest reservee, aud Com missioner Hermann has now formulaled these for the apiroval of the secretary of the interior. Prospecting, locating and developing miueral resources aud forest reserves are iiermitted. f jtnda for rchoolhouses and churches are provided and water for do cues tic, mining, milling and irrigation purposes are also allowed. Construction of wagon roads is authorized and the right ol way across reserves for irrigat ing canals, ditches, Humes aud reeer voiis is permitted. Mineral lands of the forest reserves are subject to location and entry under mm ing laws in the usual manner. Makers of mining locations are authorized to fell aud remove Irom their mimug claims any limber growing thereon, lor actual mining purposes upon ibeir particular claim. Free use ol Umber is allowed to bona lido settlers, miners, residents and prospectors for minerals, for firewood, feuciug, buildings, etc. Soldiers' Home Notes.
