AzNZNf BRIEFS.

l
Fourteen of the Ohio brigade tha
came in on Tuesday, have gone te
work for Mr.. Copley, on the Venange
The Brook Is the name of a promis
ing claim on Ruby mountain which i:
being vigorously worked.
Three shifts of men a day are Al
work on the Forest Queen, and the
mine is producing a fine quality o.
ruby.
Mr.. Edward Copley came in from
Elk Basin last Sunday and reported
the Venango vein improving at each
stroke of the pick.
TIE Micawber is improving all the
time. The yield from this mine will
be very heavy as soon as mills get
ready to treat the ore.
There are thirty men now at work
on the Ruby King shoveling out the
ruby silver, and the force will be
added to as fast as practicable.
Mr.. Neshwiths, who was one of the
first locators in the Iron Swamp ex-
citement, has had an assay of six
ounces of carbonates at a depth of
only four feet.
L. Prince received a postal card
from O,-Be- Joyful Basin saying that
his men working ON the Great Repub-
lie had developed a hve-foot vein Of
solid galena at depth of nine feet.
The Wakefield tunnel is now in on
the vein 100 feet and showing up
finely. The pay streak now shows
from ten inches to two feet. A recent
assay made at Rosita shows 40 ounces
per ton. This claim is owned by
Graves, Marshall, Wakefield & Co.
The Ruby & Treasure Mountain
mining company has force at work
on the Kansas Girl lode, situated at
the head of Lake Brennan just below
the Lead Chief. The shaft is now
4S feet deep on vein seven feet wide
Of gray quartz impregnated with
arsenical iron.
Encouraging reports concerning the
mines come IN from 0, Be Joyful
Basin. There is no doubt but what
more men will be employed in this
basin the coming summer than any
other locality in this district. The
veins In o, Be Joyful are large and in
most cases crop out and can be traced
for miles. Galena ores predominant,
yet there are many mines showing
brittle, native and ruby silver. A
smelter will be shipped from Chicago
to this promising mineral field just as
soon as the roads in the mountains
will permit of the transportation Of
heavy freight.
A great deal OF interest is being
manifested in our coal lands and
during the past week some important
transfers have been made, the D. &
R. G. and D. g. S. P. being the
greatest investors. The coal mining
industry Of Gunnison county is COM
ing prominently before the people
outside of our county and state, and
we predict that the day is not far
distant when it will equal if not sur
pass the silver mining industry Of this
section. In the great rush for silver
and gold veins last year the numerous
coal deposits were passed over and
neglected, but now the prospector
and speculator see the mistake they
have made and are watching closely
for new chances to locate and sell
cal lands.
