PAUPER.—A strike has been made on the old Pauper property on Bull hill. It is thought to be the extension of the east vein of the Hull City Placer which has been opened.
The find was made at a depth of 134 feet in a cross-cut driven 125 feet east of the shaft.

(From Colorado Telegraph.)
A twenty-ton shipment was sent out Monday from the Perkins & Neville lease on the Pauper, which is estimated to run values of from three to five ounces to the ton.
The consignment was sent to the Economic mill.

New Zealand Consolidated Company.—Amos Steelsmith, a successful lessee on the Findley and Mountain Beauty claims, has purchased the Symes & Delaney lease, on the Deadwood, No. 2, claim. The 235-ft. shaft is to be sunk 300 ft. further during the life of the lease.
The west end of the Pauper claim has been leased to the Practical Mining and Leasing Company, of Kansas City. The lease runs for 2 years and calls for 25 percent royalty and 270 ft. of sinking.

An amicable settlement of the matters at issue between the Acacia Gold Mining Co. and the Findley Consolidated Mining Co. has been arrived at without recourse to litigation.
By the agreement duly filed for record with the county clerk and recorder last week, the Acacia company is allowed exclusive and perpetual right to dump waste rock on a certain portion of the Shurtloff and Pauper lode mine claims of the Findley company, the Findley company to have the right to remove and dispose of said dump as their own property.
It is further agreed that the Acacia company shall protect the two shafts on the north end of the Shurtloff claim from filling up and damage from said dumping of waste rock.
By the terms of the settlement the South Burns Leasing Co., operating the South Burns mine, will, or has already received a satisfactory cash payment, representing the net value of the ore extracted from within the lines of the Burns claim by the Findley company.

Through the reversion of the lease held by the Findley Con. on the Deadwood group owned by the United Gold Mining Co., the entire acreage will be offered for lease. There are six working shafts on the Deadwood and 10 distinct veins have been exposed in the different workings, all carrying ore shoots.
