THE EVENING NEWS.

LION CONSOLIDATED Coins coinPa-
ny, which was recently organized by the
consolidation of the Leon Company with
the Sunrise Company, commenced work
last Monday on that part OF their claim
formerly known as the Sunrise ground
The Sunrise claim lies east OF the crown
Point claim, and the Leon claim lies Just
sou,h of the Sunrise and east OF the
Belcher. BY the consolidation, the stock
holders settle question OF title which
existed between the two companies, as
well a. bring into the possession of the
new corporation several distinct titles to
the ground they claim, one Of which we
are informed dates back 10 July, 1859.
The united claims cover some l,S00 linear
feet of the Gold Hill front ledge, which
the Superintendent OF the company thinks
lies abou. about l25 feet east of the old
Sunrise shaft. The company are now en-
gagged in cleaning their shaft of water,
which now Hills it TO the depth Of about
IS feet. The shaft where work is now
going on is some $50 feet deep, and has
two drifts running from it at the depth Of
2l0 feet. One of them runs east and the
other west. The former is 80 feet in
lengrh-the latter has been run $50 feet.
As soon as the mine is cleared of water,
which Platt ketcham. the Superintendent.
thinks it will be in about week, the COM
pany will have work commenced on the
east drift and run it forward TO the ledge.
They have great faith that they will strike
it rich BY running the drift about so or
100 feet further, and if the front ledge
theory Is correct. they probably will be
that fortunate. The shaft through which
the new company intend TO carry on their
work is well constructed. It IS securely
timbered with 3-inch. finch and 6-inch
planks, and is divided into two compart-
men,s, each four BY five feet in size in the
clear. The hosting IS done by means Of
an ordinary within, worked by single
horse. The old Leon shaft, which is stu
ated some four or Ave hundred feet far
Their south, is 22O feet deep. and well TIM
bered, but not at present used.
