tRlN. HIS NciH lS tcAtssiI to pOSoi4tC a great producer, if not phenomenal property, which will depend entirely upon striking the main course of the rich float found in the sedimentary lilling-in of the vein from the slopes above.
 The Mohawk and Wild Hog claims of this group arc ill another lime belt coming down from the northwest and forming contact with porphyry. These claims lay to the northward of the Sunset group in district where considerable carbonate of lead Is en- countered. They show up consider able $40 ore for the amount of work done.
 The Sunset group, coming next on the northwest of the Black Hawk, is located on a large overflow of man. ganese and iron. ard thus far has de- veIoped principally into copper and is in every appearance a duplicate of the famous Lcngfellow mine, which, after producing millions, was sold for upwards of million dollars cash, and after having been continuously worked for the past fifteen years is q good producer to-day.
 The Sunset of this group has been extensively opened and carload sample was sent to Pueblo, yiel ling 32 per cent of carbonate ore. with traces of gold and silver.
 About 4O0 feet from the shaft and tunnel. from which the present out put of carbonate copper is mned, Q vein of rich oxides has been struck. having trend at right angles with the main ore veins, and both are mak- ing for heavy blowout of manga nese above it.
 It is the opinion of the best expe- rienced experts who have examined this formation. that when the junction of the two characters is reached, one of the great copper mines of the world will be opened.
 The remaining three claims of this group cover most of the ground upon which Mexicans have placer mined for gold whenever a sufficient amount of water could be secured from rains or melting snows.
 The Ingram group of twenty claims forms the key to the Gold Gulch sec ton of this district. It comprises the following claims, to-wit: The Sunshine, Sedan, Iron-Clad, Sunset, Blue Giant, Gray Carbonate, Tracy, Montezuma, Jolly Giant, Gold-Bar, Blue Carbonate, North Pole, Carlotta, Amadore, Gold Eagle, Gold Bell, Galcna. Goliah, North Carolina aud California.
 The Sunshine of this group has two shafts, one of % feet, the other 12 feet, showing a small vein of very high grade gold ore.
 The Sedan is one or the richest copper mines in this district. The openings comprise 13C-foot tunnel, 2O-foot shaft, an open cut of 15 feet, and another shaft of 20 feet, exposing strong vein of copper glance ore, rich in both gold and silver.
 The Sunset has been extensively opened and shows large quantities of copper ore, also carrying some silver.
 The Blue Giant is a copper mine with six openings, 95 per cent ore at every point exposed O: opened.
 The Iron-Clad is strictly gold mine, with a we'll defined vein three feet thick and assaying sl5 to SEQ.
 The Tracy is from four to five feet thick, rich in gold, silver and copper
 The Gray Carbonate has two tun- nels, one 10 feet and the other 50 feet, showing fine Assure vein four to five feet thick. assaying 15. oz. silver and SlO gold.
 The Montezuma has 150 feet work on it, showing 10 to 12 per cent cop per ore in large bodies. The Jolly Giant is opened by 10 foot tunnel on the vein, exposing : large body of low grade concentrat ing ore.
 The Blue Carbonate Las 90 feet O work, exposing q small streak of cop per ore and Q heavy vein of gold anc silver bearing quartz, fine looking ! but value unknown.
 l The Gold-Dar is a fine vein of 6 foot gold ore, said to assay from $2' ! to $50 in gold and silver. This clain is capable of producing hundreds O ' tons of orc per day.
