OUR MINES.
ALPS COMPANY.


for chloride vein was tapped in the west
drift, on the 12ta station, of the COM
pany's Mazeppa mine. This drift was
started by Superintendent Hale on the
frat day of November last. and has been
pushed ahead, night and day. with eight
hour shifts, without interruption, to the
present time. Many obstacles We're en-
countered in prosecuting the work; the
country rock being of the hardest char
acter known in the camp and the air SO
bad latterly that men could not work but
few minutes at the time, but the per-
severance liz prosecuting this work
is about to be rewarded. The vein when
first cut, showed two feet of chloride ore,
and last evening the whole face of tho
drift was in good ore of excellent charac-
ter. Assays across the face of the drift,
taken by James W. Wright, Manager of
the State Bank, showed $l3l, $146, 1907
and $216. A survey recently taken
shows. the vein has! been thrown some
40 feet south of the bottom of west Wine
running down from 18th level. A cross
cut has been commenced and it is be-
lieved that the connection will be made
by tomorrow night, as an eight-hour
force is being worked from both ends.
When such connection is made the mine
will be thoroughly ventilated, and not
only will stopping be- commenced on the
| recent find, but on other ore bodies
passed through in running the 18th drift;
also Oh ore laying east and west of winze
from 18th.
There has been also a great improve.
ment recently in the company's Alps
mine. A fine body of rich ore was en-
countersd last Thursday in the south
drift from the upraise on the lowest
level. Two men working on contract
broke five tons of $3.50 ore in the
afternoon of that day. The ore is of
same character as found on the 16i-foot
level two years since, and is about lao
feet directly under said deposit. Both
mines are open for public inspection.
Captain II. H. Day. Superintendent of
the Raymond & Ely. is visiting the Ma
zeppa mine to-day. Mr.. j. W. Wright
visited both of the mines yesterday and
expressed himself greatly pleased with
duced to keep the mill running steadily
for long time to come. The old COM
pany has had long struggle to keep on
top for the past year, but the present
outlook seems to warrant US in saying
that it is coming out of the storm into
clear sailing again.
HILLSIDE.
John B. MCGEE, one OF the owners of
the Hillside mine, arrived in town on
Thursday evening. He is now ready to
let contracts for the cutting and delivery
OF wood. furnishing charcoal ETC., as he
is starting in to make the necessary pre-
parations to start up the furnace at Bris-
toll on Hillside ore, also ore froEl the
National mine. The first run of the
furnace will not be longer than 80 days,
as that will be sufficient time to make
a thorough test The winze in the
Hillside mine is now down so feet below
still in ore, which shows we'll by assays.
Mr.. McGee is confident of making q
big showing from the Hillside before
much time passes.
RAYMOND AND ELY.
Commencing to excavate on the 1900

Sinking the Wine, which is down 81
feet below the 70-foot station, making i
105 feet below the tunnel. The bottom
! of the winze is in low grade ore, whicl

out into a fine body of ore. Owing t
bad roads no ore has been hauled lately

The ore from this mine will be tested il
