THE BULLION DIVIDE.
Some Of the Claims There Making q
Splendid ShOwing-The Red Cloud,
CyclOps, and French Boys.

SyCiOpSs duu EItbCh
William H. Atkinson, who has a
lease on the Red Cloud claim, at the
head of Narrow Gauge gulch, is in
town for a brief rest, after a pro-
longed stay on the Bullion divide.
He reports the claims in that vicin-
ity looking well, and showing more
ore than ever before. In the Cyclops
new workings there is drift over
100 feet long, which shows ore all the
way from the initial point to the face,
with more ahead. From this drift a
raise has been driven 80 feet to the
surface-which shows ore all the way.
A winze is down rs feet, all the way
in ore. From the workings fully 800
tons of hlgh-grade ore can be ex-
tracted whenever it is desired to do
so. This work has all been done this
winter. The old workings of this
claim also show we'll in ore that goes
so ounces silver and Is per cent. lead
per ton. This claim is good for all OF
600 tons of ore this summer. 1t is
owned by the Porter Brothers and
Mr.. Mason.
The Cyclops, which adjoins, shows
ore all the way in the winze, which
is down so or GO feet below the tun
mel level. A main working tunnel is
being driven to tap this body at
depth of about 100 feet from the sur
face. The ore referred to is of higher
grade than any yet extracted from
this claim.
Chris. Hendricks, who has a lease
on the French Boys group, is working
four men, and extracting about two
tons per day. He must have all Of
80 tons Of first class, and 30 to oC
tons of second class ore on the dump
now, and will doubtless make splen-

THE WlSWELL MILLS.
There are Dozens In Use, and Working
Suceessfully-Their Cost, Capacity,

Etcs
The Wiswell Mill, which is a
crusher and amalgamator combined,
has been at work on the Donovan
group of mines, on the gold belt, over
two months. During that time it has
crushed aud amalgamated about 10
tons per day. The mill has, however,
been entirely unassisted in any re-
spect. No special skilled workmen
except millwrights have been employ
ed to look after it; and no rollers OF
rock-breakers have been used to pre-.
pare the rock to convenient size, as is
usually done in stamp mills. Had
this been done it is probable that the
mill would have reduced, and easily,
all OF Is tons per day. This, on the
hard Donovan ore, would have been
entirely satisfactory.
But although the mill on the DON
ovan group has not been worked up
to its full capacity, it has nevertheless
done very well. 1t has given CON-
paratively little trouble, has worked
at small cost, compared with other re.
duciug appliances, and worked much
closer. This record is not a new one
for a Wiswell mill. Wherever in
troduced-and dozens are at work
the Wiswell mills have given entire
satisfaction, and are rapidly driving
out the stamp mills.
The Wlswell mill costs $4,000 cash
Or part cash and part AL bankable
paper-delivered on board cars a,
Boston. This does not include the
cost of steam engine, boiler, or water.
power fixtures, which can be pur
chased from any of the well-knowr
firms dealing in machinery. The
capacity of the mill is from 10 to q
tons per day, according to the ore

An Early RInze.

At 80 this morning an alarm reached
the police station of fire on the west
side OF Spring st. about midway between
Third and Fourth. When five minutes
later the HERALD reuorter reached the
spot, small wooden house, ended
towards the street, in which someone
Was keeping small restaurant, was
found all afame at the rear end. AT fif-
teen minutes before two the engines
turned the water on the blaze. which
then enveloped the entire structure.
North of the shanty on FIRE is a double
one-story house, both sides OF which
were occupied by families who were
rudely reused from their sleep. These
fastened into the street, and many will
ing hands helped to put their things out
OF the rooms. The south side
Of one house was in full blaze before the
water got on to the fire. But two good
streams soon gained on the destructive
element and the loss by fire was not
great. The double house lies just south
of the buildings being moved away to
make room for the Callahan brick about to
be put up corner Spring and Third.
Had there been high wind the whole
block north Of the fire must have gone
down. As 1t lie the families occupying
the houses are probably the chief losers.
There was no inmate in the restaurant
and therefore it was impossible to learn
how the fire originated. the owner OF
the property destroyed and damaged or
il it were insured.
