Red Mountain Mining New.


From the Red Mountain Review.
There are a number of good prospects in
Brooklyn gulch.
The National Belle is being worked steadily
and shows up better than ever.
Edwards and Gardner have applied for a
patent on the Sycamore, near the Galena Lion
The Rough and Ready, adjoining the Treas
ure Trove, is being worked by Z. II. Cooper
and Frost Green.
The Mona Queen, in Humboldt gulch, be-
longs to party named Gale, and gives returns
of $4,000 in silver per ton.
The Black Raven, in Albany gulch, belong
ing to J. C. Smith and C. Timmons, is show
ing fine body of steel galena ore.
The Paymaster lode, on the trail below the
Yankee Girl, owned by DeFrance, Gould and
Mcdonald, shows some nice galena and cop
per.
The high grade ore recently found in the
Yankee Girl is proving to be large body and
fairly eclipses anything yet found in the dis
trict.
1t is understood shat the Boston & Colora-
do Smelling company will build sample works
at Ouray Immediately. They after all
kinds of ore.
The Jed, owned, by Gibbs, Blackmer and
Efinger, is improving with development,
running more to gray coppef. The owners
have commenced sacking and will soon ship
regularly.
The American Girl, below the Yankee Girl,
owned by George Brown. Jasper Brown, and
Pat Conklin, has about 5000 worth OF de-
velopment, and shows a fair quantity of cop
per and galena in spar.
The Treasure Mountain. Mining company is
advertising for bids for 100 feet of tunnel
work on the Charter Oak near town. This
lode shows large body of galena, and ore
will be shipped as soon as possible.
Every foot of development in the Hudson
shows an increase in quantity and richness of
the ore The Hudson will come to the front
as soon as the wagon road is completed.
About rs carloads are now in the ore house
ready for shipment.
H. Ewbanks has sold one-fourth interest
in the Carbonate King lode to Rollins & Stan
ton, and one-fourth to l.. Slower, all of Red
Mountain. A rich strike was made in this
property last week, some of the ore assaying
up into the thousands. The lucky owners
will develop rs fast as possible, and have
sure enough bonanza.
The Spanish Bar, below the Yankee Girl,
has tunnel in about thirty feet, the breast
of which is in decomposed galena and copper.
The property was first LOCATED in 1875, and a
tunnel run some distance, which caved in and
the original locators then abandoned it. The
l,a,, al tha n1d
tunnel, but considerable mineral scattered
through it shows that ore must have been
found. In those days this district was aI al
most inaccessible wilderness, and many prop.
critics which would now pay largely, could
not at that time have been worked with any
profit.
An immense body Of ore was struck in the
Treasure Trove, owned by G. r. Clark, Frank
II. Miner, Chas Fleck, l.. II. Cooper and c.
Van Tmmons. The ore resembling that
found in the National Belle near which It is
located. Last fall the owners sunk a shaft,
which, at depth of 81 feet, caved in, carry
ing down the timbers, and nothing more was
done until this week, when new shaft was
started n short distance from the first one.
Mineral was struck six inches from the sur
face, and a considerable quantity has already
been placed on the dump. This is another
stance Of Red Mountain property pay from
the grass roots.
Just north Of Gray Copper Falls gnlch,
there is a series Of five claims--the Robert Il.
Lee, Titan, Bonanza King, II. A. w. Tabor,
and John Wilson. The King was the first
one located-early in March. 1t was worked
in about % feet, when large body Of crys-
talline galena was struck, which was at first
supposed to be carbonate by many. There is
about two feet Of this mineral, which assays
30 per cent lead, 30 ounces silvcA and 8 per
cent copper. For the last month freezeout
process has been going on and no work IL be.
ing done upon It. On the Lee, Tabor and
Wilson, a fifty-foot tunnel Is being run upon
each, all showing the same formation as the
King. The formation would indicate de-
post or blanket vein. All are looking well.
They are are undoubtedly valuable claims.
Sutherland. Brownell, Eaton and sewell,
Gnnnison parties, are interested in these
claims.
