Agreeable to an intimation In our last
issue, we present block Of engraved dia'
grams depicting the present status OF work
on the Sulphuret mine, together with
description of the lode, kind of ore, nature
of fimprovements-in short all that seems
necessary to convey to whom it may con.
cern correct idea of property which
has passed beyond the line Of adventure
and gives assurance Of its present out
put In assays of average ore and width OF
vein of becoming, as we stated some
weeks ago, one of the representative rich
mines Of San Juan. (.
The Sulphuret was originally located
as the Cora No. 2 by W. Z. Phillips, in
June, 1875, and relocated July Is, 1879,
by W. F. Phillips and James Dolan as the
Sulphuret. S. Hartman bought the en-
tire interests In February, 1880, and sold
he same to the St. Paul Sulphuret Silver
thinning company, of Minnesota. The i'm.
provements at the time of sale consisted
of a shaft forty feet deep. The company
Is COMPOSED Of some of the leading men
as we'll as the heaviest capitalists of the
entire State.
Under the resident management of Mr..
Hartman, aided by the practical knowl.
edge and skill Of some OF the best min
ers in San Juan, work was at once COM
menced by contract to sink the shaft, and
has been pursued until the present time
with but one short interruption. In due
time it became necessary to erect shaft
house and whlm for hoisting ore and
water. These are all substantial appur-
tenances and are effective.
It will be seen by the diagram, show
ing the shaft, that it follows the dip OF
the vein, which is toward the southwest.
The slight angle affords a sufficient rest
for the bucket, as it slides up and down
on permanent skids. For all present
work the shaft is sufficiently timbered,
but it Is intended to re-timber to depth
of 200 feet. The whim is to be replaced
by steam hosting engine and the slow
working bucket by serviceable pumps.
It is for the purpose Of ascertaining the
| needs Of. the mine in all essentials that
Mr.. A. A. Stone, Of St. Peter, Minnesota,
has recently come to this city in the in
terests of the company. he has thor
oughly examined the mine, and expresses
himself highly pleased. 1t is to MIR.
Stone that we are indebted for three as
says Of ore from a depth Of 194 feet in
the shaft, printed last week, and which
we reprint, viz: No. 1-I,065.72; No, Z
-614.7s; No. 3-147.50.
The ore is mostly argentiferous gray
copper, with galena and zinc cemented in
network of crystallized haryta; 1t Is pc.
culiarly adapted for concentration. There
are on the dump about 300 tons of ore
which it is thought will mill an average
of forty ounces silver per ton; and oi
frst-class assorted ore there Is sacked
about ten tons, which will probably mil
between 400 and 500 ounces. 1t is stored
awaiting treatment. The explorations Of
the vein, shown in the diagram, revea
an ore body, or rather mineralized flssure
II feet wide, clearly divided from the
walls by clay casing. There are three
we'll defined solid pay streaks; one of these
is followed by the shaft, which is 5x9 feet
in size. At present the ladder way il
safely divided from the hosting compart-
ment by board partition.
