course was some time ago. The present is
what we are looking at. A. s. kellogg is

they expect to get along all right.
THE LACRos LEAD.
Is siGuated about q quarter or half mile
up the gulch north from the placer mines.
Is owned by Bartlett, Dresser and MIL
Ter. This is a very promising quartz lead,
and considerable work has been done on it,
but for the immediate future they will
probably only represent, rs it takes capital
to develop a lead Of this kind. Ashaft has
been sunk "a feet, which shows a vein 2
feet wide, but the main lead is something
IN the neighbOrooOd of 25 or 80 feet dis
tant yet. A tunnel 70 feet long has been
run into the mountain, and if the amount
OF money that it cost had been expended
on the shaft, the pro liability is that the
mother lead would have been struck with a
bonanza in sight.
THE ALLIE MAY.
Near the promising lead called the Al
pine, owned by Cook and Northrup, is a
prospect that is showing very we'll indeed.
1t is called the Allie May, and is the prop
erty Of Cook and Currin. They have sunk
a fifty-foot shaft on the main vein with q
5OOu oAo"AAS VI VIZ, OuAc 1 l lICc-LI1lAAIuS
and some concentrating ore. They have a
thIrly-five-foot shaft that shows a 2O-inch
vein of ore which assays well, it being of
fine grade. The Currin brothers are busy
at work on this lead. The Alpine and
Allie May are situated in the Boomerang
district, which is showing q rapid stride in
the way OF development this year. There
are other fine prospects in this district,
which only require time, labor and capital
to develop them. But when they are prop
erly developed. then will Jefferson county
be classed with the foremost mining camps.
THE PARKINSON MIN
which was recently bonded to Mr.. Downs
has certainly a brilliant future before it. 1t
was bonded for $4,000, the Parkinson
interest amounting to $4,000. About
twenty men are busily engaged on this lead.
A 5O-foot shaft has been sunk on the hill,
about 100 feet from the main shaft. A3OO-
foo tunnel has been run. There are four
veins, the main one showing we'll. The
main shaft gives good satisfaction. The
surface ore goes as high as 100 ounces
This lead is a continuation of the Comet
and Rumley. There are some seventy-five
or eighty tons OF ore on the dump at
present. A blacksmith shop has lately
been built which adds greatly towards
facilitating matters. This lead is watched
with a great deal OF interest, a sit is situated
along the line OF a chain OF mineral, and in
the near future, as this one is looking SO
we'll. there is no doubt but that Others
equally as good will be opened up.
