THE TOURTELOTTE TRAMWAY.
The Aspen Public Tramway company
got its line to Tourtelotte park in final
operation yesterday. A start was made
on Monday,, some ore being loaded at
the Justice and run down close to the
city terminal, but it was not dumped
until Tuesday morning. The line then
continued to move quite steadily and
brought down a large amount of freight.
It worked smoothly and without a hitch
at any point, the management running
it very slowly in order to accustom the
employes to handling it, but in a few
days they will be able to increase its
speed. Some freight was sent up in the
empty buckets and applications are
being made for shipping large
quantities of stufff to the park.
The first up-freight was a con-
signment of cigars sent to citizens of the
park with the compliments of the com-
pany. In starting the tramway a num-
ber of buckets were put on first at the
upper end loaded with ore, the cable be-
ing moved by a crank and gearing ar-
ranged for the purpose. When ten
loaded buckets had been started out the
tram began to move by the operation of
the laws of gravitation.
The officers of the company that has
completed this great enterprise are as
folllows[sic]
H. R. Woodward, president.
Fred G. Buckley, gen'l mangr.
H. M. Sackett, superintendent.
Thomas H. Y. Edsall, general atty.
H. L. Harding, general agent.
Sam. P. Fletcher, secretary.«b»

Operations Begun.
The preparatory work for the erection of a tramway from the mill site of the United States and British Columbia Mining and Milling Company to their mines at the head of Cornet Basin, is under way. Mr. H. M. Sackett, representative of the Mine and Mill Supply Company, arrived a few days ago with his assistant and draughtsman, and at once began work. The tram will be over two miles in length, and will be in operation by fall.
Mr. Sackett promises one of the finest trams in the state, and his past record is a guarantee that he will do what he says.

H. M. Sackett, after spending several days in Telluride and vicinity reviewing the probable line of the contemplated tramway to be erected from near the Japan mines, Savage basin, to Pandora, a distance of about two miles, returned over the range to Silverton yesterday afternoon. He says the contemploate dtram whil perfectly feasable would be a very expensive one and believes it will hardly be built for some timee to come. Mr. Sackett is now superintending the construction of a Bleichert tramway 9,300 feet in length, manufactured by the Trenton Iron Works, Trenton, N. J., for the Iowa Gold Mining company near Silverton.

ANOTHER BIG MINING CORPORATION ORGANIZED
(Continued from page 1.)
"..."
The president of the corporation; "Col. Page recently arrived in Telluride and is now arranging the preliminaries for the commencement of operations.
A few days ago he visited the properties in Bridal Veil, accompanied by several gentlemen, among them Mr. H. M. Sackett and Mr. Jas. Fitzgerald. The latter is well known throughout the San Juan as a practical miner of an extended experience that entitles his judgement on the value of mining prpoerty and the best method for its development to no inconsiderable weight. He pronounces the Gold Cable group one of the most promising of any he has recently examined. ..."
"Mr. Sackett is the gentleman who has erected several of the big tramway systems of this section, having recently completed one nearly a mile and a half in length for the United States and British Columbia company. Col. Page's purpose in taking him over the property was to secure reliable estimates and plans for a tramway from the mines to the railroad track, at the head of the valley, where it is the prupose of the company to erect a large stamp mill for the reduction of their ores."
