The above illustration shows the location of the mines of The Black Wonder and West
EndCold: Mining Company, also their new EEO-stamp mill in Sherman, Hinsdole county, Colo-
rado, costing $70,000, equipped with the latest machinery, from the well-known firm of Fraser
dz Chalmers, Chicago, 10., for the extraction of gold, silver and copper by the lixlviation
process, having a capacity of from 50 to 60 tons daily, at 1: cost of treatment not exceeding
sternum or PEEPEEJY.
The property of T 9 Black Wonder and West End Gold Mining Company, in addition to
the mill. consists of fourteen (14) full government mining claims, ten (10) acres «sch, twelve
of which are located in the town of Sherman, in close proximity to the mill, one in Cotton-
wood Gulch, and aucther in BurrowsPork, at. a distance of four and five miles respectively;
n tramway for conveying ores from the mines to the mill: also a town site of 120 acres, and
a.- valuable water power of 200 h. p., making one of the largest and best equipped gold min-
ing companies in' Colorado. which has been brought about by the consolidation, on Sept. 20,
of The Black Wonder Gold and Silver Mining Company and The West End Gold Mining Com‘
pany, heretofore operated under separate charters.

Two of the fourteen mining properties owned by this company, The Black Wonder and
West End, have been quite extensively developed, the former having been: opened up to a
depth of 875 feet, with over 2500 feet of tunnelling ou- the vein, from which carload ship
ments have been made netting the company from $50 to $150 per ton. A TOO-foot crosscut
tunnel is now being driven (307 feet already completed), which will'openi up The. Black Wonw
der mine at a. depth of 636 feet, from which point, tunnels will be extended to open up the
West End and Olive mines, and, when completed, will cut the vein of the Olive at a. depth
of about 1500 feet, and the West End over 1100 feet. thus putting all three mines in condi-
tion for a large daily output for many years, and insuring handsome dividends, which are ex-
pected to begin by. April 1, 1896. In addition to completing 'fhe Black Wonder‘crosscut tunnel
No. 2 (referred to above as the “TOO-foot cross—cut tunnel”), the Directors propose Ito put in
sampling works in connection fwith'the mill, so as to be able to treat custom [ores on
which?“ 30 handsome“ profit 9au__bel made;~ put in an automatic con-veyiuz. hearth
for cooling and’conveyin‘g the ores from the chloridizing chambers to the leachiné'tonkg'thfis
saving the labor of four men; also an electric plant for furnishing power and. light ton’the

‘ Horace F. Brown. Mining Engineer, with Fraser d; Chalmers, Chicago, Ill., says: “The
Black Wonder vein consists of an enormous dyke of trot-byte, which completely fills an enor-
mous fissure in the granite of which the mountain is composed. The main ore chute in- The
Black Wonder is about 200 feet long. the vein from two to eight MW in thickness, and! has
been opened by tunnels, shafts and levels to the depth of 375 feet. itli so complete a mill
and abundant resources for obtaining ore, both from their own. mines and the rich surrounding
country, there seems to be no possible reason why the operations of The Black Wonder and
West End Gold Mining Company will not be a perfect financial success."
Mr. D. A. Farrell, mine owner. and 0031116013 Lake City. (‘0‘... says: “I have no fears but
that the ores from The Black Wonder. OliVe and Mineral Flower. together with the ores
mm the West End and Come Up, would necessitate your incr. using the capacity of your mill."
. r. W. D. Jackson. mining engineer and inVcBlOi' of the Jackson process. Pueblo, Col.
says: “I made a careful inspection of The Bl-vl-z Wonder :11le \Vest End mines, examining all
the tunnelS. cmfimuts‘ entries, levets and stages. The vein is large and well defined. and f9;
beyond doubt a,true fissure. The amount of ore would seem to be inexhaustible. I have no
hesitation in saying that with u \ve.l un'l properly constructed mill the mine will continue to
be a large producer and will pay good dividends on the investment."
A correspondent of the United States investor. Boston. says: “I do not hesitate to stn‘o
that The Black Wonder mine is a legitimate enterprise, being worked in good faith, and one
whosn ore product is of such a. chm-actor and crude as to insure handsome profits. While at
The Block Wonder mine I Dl‘OL'UI‘ed six different samples, and saw them assayed with the fol-
lowing ratics to.the ton: .

The Editor of the Times, Lake City, Col., says: “So much has been said about The Black
Wonder mine of late that our readers must be pretty well acquainted with this promising
property: howev‘er, we are of the opinion that too much cannot be said about it. as in all parts
of the mine the pay mineral shows up weil.,The tellurium ore in the upper drift has only
recently been encountered. which proved the mule contains rich ore from the upper (gr-053.“;
up to grass roots, :1 distance of 200 feet."
W. F. Reinert, Editor and Mining: Engineer, Denver. Col., says: "A 1 tr

feet from the surface, gave returns 01' 7 02. old and 173 oz. silver to the ton. "rue breast
of the stopc from which the sample was t on is from 18 inches to three feet in width the
ore lying upon the foot wall. Another sample in lower workings returned 25.8 oz. gold' and
52.2 oz. silver per ton; another 43.88 oz. gold 94 oz. silver per ton. Indications lead to the
conclusion that as depth is gained on the vein the ore strata will come together forming
one solid body of ore." ' .' ‘

’ No "Scrap” in Connecticut.
Governor Coffin has been interview-
ed in relation to the scheme of Messrs.
Hayes and Mchth of Waterbury, to
secure the big prise fight in Connecti-
cut. “Ie said he should first. see what
there was in. the attempt to secure the
fight and afterwards consult the attor
nay-general in the matter and do his
whole duty.
He said that Section.1,507 made it. a
felony to engage in a. prize light. in
Connecticut, punishable by five years
in imprisonment, and in any case he
should see that the majesty of the low
is sustained in the Nutmeg,r State.
The Waterbury men have telegraphed
their ofi'er to the fighers and their back-
ers, and expect answers soon. They
say that. they will arrange for special
trains and charge $100 a. ticket.
McGrath laughs at the idea that the
fighf could not take place in chin State.
“ Why,” he said, “it would be a great.
deal easier to pull it off here than in
the wild and wooly regions that. the
men are now trying to meet in. In the
first place, if the fight was held in this
State, many sports from New York
would attend that would never go South
or West. Then again we. could meke
up our party in New York, take special
trains from that. city, and have the
Whole thing»; over before any kind of a
movement could be made to stop it.”
It is no joke or hoax, the Waterbury
men say, and they claim that they are
both business men, well able to carry
out the terms of the contract. There
are those who believe them and hope
now to see 1011;: anticipated fight. come
offin the state. ' .
The plans for the event will be kept
decidedly quiet and only tried and true
men giving the “tip.” Since the
scheme has become publicly known the
promoters say they have been besieged
with offers from' well known sporting
men for 0. share in the speculation, but.
as yet Lie); have not. decided what. they
will do, as they think it. would be pre-
mature to talk much until a reply is re-
ceived from the managers of the fight-
ers.
Thomas Hayes, when seen, was firm
in the belief that the contest could be
pulled OR in Connecticut.
“ There is no law in this State,” he
said, “ against glove contestss for n
limited'number of rounds. If we could
secure a favorable consideration of our
offer from the managers of these men,
we will show these western men how
such an affair should be conducted.” .
It is said that Messrt. Hayes and Mc-
Gruth have a. definite plan of action
that will not. be revealed at present.
It is said that it. is intended that
Stamford shall be the fighting ground.
=The statement that there is a possi-
bility of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight
being pulled off in Connecticut has
aroused the State Law and Order
League. Secretary Thrasher of the
league said yesterday: “You may state
that , the Law and Order League will
use all its machinery to defeat the pro-
posed scheme. If the fight. takes place
within the State of Connecticut, it will
be because the league has lost its power.
We shall make every possible effort to
save the State from this disgrace.”
Remonstrances Against Licenses.
Remonsiances against grunting li-
cense to Philip Wiegand and Frank
Doll of Greenwich, have been filed with
the County Commissionerss. The obj ec-
tion is that the places are near the East
Port Chester post-office. A peculiar
fact in the case isthet Wiegand’s daugh-
ter is postmistress of the office in ques-
tion, which is a one-story building
erected by Wiegund himself.
A humorously signed remonstrance
against granting a license to Charles L.
Griebel of New Canaan has also been
received. The objections in this case
seem to be on general principles, as it
is alleged that Griebel has heretofore
conduct-ed a. place of which the reputa—
tion was not good. The signers of the
remonstrance are leading people of the
town.
And She Went.
Among. the recent applicants for help
at the Selectmen’s office was a. woman
from Winnipauk, ' who with tears
streaming down her cheeks asked for
town aid. She said that her husband
had deserted her and their children,
and she sorely needed help. An inves-
tigation was made and it was found
that the woman was earning on .an
average of $7.50a week, owned 20 acres
of land and o. cow, and had a cellar
well stocked with vegetables. Her
tears were allowed to dry in her eyes
as they availed nothing in the way of
her getting help from the town. And
it is said that. there are others.
Liquor Dealers to Contest.
The liquor dealers of Westport are
now in arms and ready for the battle
which is likely to result from the con-
tested election. The election is to be
contested upon the technicality that
the booth-tenders signed the envelopes
with their initials rather than. their full
names. Should the county commission-
ers recognize the illegality of the elec-
tion upon these technical grounds the
State Law and Order League will take
a. hand and take the matter into the
superior courts. No licenses have yet
been granted. ' .

Burglar Awakens Her.
Mrs. Laura. Scofieid who. with her
son Albert, occupies the upper portion
of the house recently built. by her son-
in-law Percy Glendennine‘, on. Newlown
avenue, awoke about. 2 o’clock this
morning, and found a burglar standing
in her sleeping room. She asked him
what. he wanted, to which question he
made no reply, but made rapid steps
out. of the room, down a fight of stairs
and out of the house.
Mrs. Scofield that! arose from her
bed, went. into her son’s room and
awoke him, and while waiting for him
to dress went to a side window and
gave an alarm which was responded to
by Messrs. Robert Brotherton and
William Aiken, who live next door.
When young Scofield got out of bed
and went to the spot. where he had left.
his clothes after returning from n party
at about 12 o’clock, he found them miss-
ing. After further search they with
two other suits of clothes were found
piled up in the hall with the contents of
the pockets, a silver watch and some
small change in silver gone.
He quickly dressed himself and in
company with Brotherton and Aiken, e.
thorough search of the house wasmudc.
Notthing was found missing in the
upper appartments, although there was
evidence of the burglar having piled up
articles of wearing apparel which he
no doubt expected to Carry away with
him.
They then went through the apart-
ments of Mr. Glendenninz on the lower
floor. The rooms have been unoccu-
pied for the past few. days, Mr, and
Mrs. Giendenning being on a visit
with friends in ‘Weston. Each of the
rooms had been ransacked but. it was
bunch of keys had been stolen.
A lantern was found in the hall at the
head of the stairs near the room from
which the burglar had made such a.
precipitate flight when discovered by
Mrs. Scofield, and which he in his
haste to getaway had apparently for-
gotten.§ '
key still in the lock. Marks evidently
made with p pair of nippers were found
on the end of the key, and this explain-
ed as to how an entrance had been groin
ed. The burglar also made his exit
through the same doorway. .
He must have gained an entrance but
a short time before his discoveryby Mrs.
Scofield as young Scofield believes ev-
erything to have been all right at
the time he retired, about 12 o’clock.
Mrs. Scofield is at a loss to explain
why she did not scream when she first
saw the burglar, but now thinks that in
was a. wise thing, as she might have
suffered harm at his hands had she
done so. She was too much frightened
to note any description of the man’s
dress other than that he wore 9. Derby
hat. -
James Foster, who lives in the small
house near Betls’ sow mills, reports
having heard Some one prowling about
his house at on early hour this morn-
ing, but thinks that the fellow was
frightened away, as he made no at-
tempt to gain an entrance to the house.
Work Commenced.
The Norwolk Street Railway Com-
pany this morning dispatched their
work our to South Norwalk. The some
thing; has been done before many a
time, but never before on such an im-
portant. errand, or one that will be
hailed with greater delight by the
traveling public. It. was sent for the
purpose of starting in the work for the
extension through Railroad place to
the Consolidated railroad depot, of the
company’s tracks.
A hearing was held by the City Coun-
cil last evening. for the purpose of tak-
ing action on the company’s petition
for permission to extend its tracks from
their present. terminus at South Nor-
walk around the Mahnckemo hotel
corner, through Railroad place to the
depot, through State street, Spring
street and Lexington avenue to the
city line, which petition was granted.
A single'track will be used around
the hotel corner for a distance of 150
feet. The tracks will be double through
Railroad place to a. point west of the
Monroe street bridge from where a.
single track will be laid to Spring
street.
Workman are now at. work taking up
the paving between the rails in front of
Crofut d: Knapp’s shop.

An Old Sliver.
Last Friday evening, a. resxdent 0,
Leonard street, called at the assessors
office for the purpose of banding in his
list. After the list had been filled out
and the party was asked to sign it he
said, “Won’t you sign it for me? I
stuck a sliver in my hand yesterday
and it pains me so I cannot write.”
“Certainly. I will witness your mark,”
said the assessor, “but if I remember
aright you had a sliver in the same
hand when you brought in your list
lastzyear as well as the year before
that.” And turning to the books he'
found such to be the fact. There was
quitealnugh at Patrick’s expense in
which he did not'join. . ,
