MINING NOTES.

The storm during the past week has
caused the ore teams to hang up-some
OF them on the road-and no ore can be
moved until the weather settles.
Messrs. Mccall, Harvey Il Co. have
paid over 81 900 in royalty, not including
IA tons to hear from, during their recent
lease OF the Minnesota mine, near
Chloride.
George Lockwood is high up on Sur
runs Peak, working lead claim, and
from the amount Of snow mp there and
present prospects for more, he il liable to
remain for SOM time.
The Rogers Bros. and X. g. Fisher
have resumed work ON their claim, the
first north extension Of the G. O. d., and
propose to thoroughly prospectit and sat
isfy themselves as to its worth.
John Marshal Ia prosecuting work on
the gold mine owned by himself and John
Jamison, at Layne Springs. He is ex,
tracing some very good ore, and will
soon have car load ready for shipment.
The Prince George NORTH is again be-
ing worked by its owners. They are not,
as yet, extracting any great amount of
ore, nor is the force large one, but the
outlook at the mine justifies good deal Of
prospecting, which will undoubtedly be
done.
The Burke Bros. ED. and Tom) are
prosecuting work on their X L mine,
in I X L Basin, which has for some time
been shut down. This is good property
and has produced much good ore, while
present indications are that they will
soon have another ore body exposed.
The Cupel mine has reduced its force
to six men, and these are engaged in
prospecting. II is significant, however,
that supt. Mackenzie keeps the pump
working and does not allow the mine to
food. That he will do something, and do
it quickly, no one acquainted with his
methods Of mining doubts.
Supt. Bowers has let another contract
on the Nighthawk mine-to drive the
main tunnel an additional 80 feet. The
tunnel was In fair shipping ore when work
ceased last December. There has been
erected comfortable boarding house
and rough weather will not inconvenience
men at this mine.
The Prince George (South) is being
worked by John X. Mackenzie, under q
lease. The old works have been thor
oughly timbered and cleaned out by
foreman Mike DAILY, who looks out for
Supt. Mackenzie's interest at both this
and the Cupel mines. There are now
eight men employed, and the mine looks
favorable to again be one Of our chief ore
producers.
Tom Oliver has again resumed work on
the Prosperity. The Oliver Bros. have
done several thousand dollars worth Of
dead work on this claim-among other
things tunnel more than $50 feet in
length, and which taps the mine at con-
xderable depth. They now propose to
10 como systematic cross-cutting, and II
.bera exists another ore body under the
Sd wor. " it viii undoubtedly be found.
Tom NJ, Nahoa has resumed work on
,is Young H, con mine. An inspection
i the mine reye s;sd 2O-foot back in the
north stope and is in Ia" south. Tom
has adopted wise ssn--fhs hrss grace
II ore has heretofore worked over o'o
md the second over $50 o. .. s'ivei al the
will henceforth make Out
,ne class Of the ore, and thereb. v save Ii'S
expense of asserting, and still ha, = . hhe
grade of ore.
Joe Upsher and Tom Roberts, w''o
nave 6-months lease on the Green Lin
net mine, Union Basin, have struck a
fine body Of high grade ore on the north
end Of the claim, under the broncho-a
portion Of the mine on which no pros
pecting has heretofore been done. The
owners Of the claim gave them decent
lease, demanding only 10 per cent. roy
atty and no dead work. They struck ore
on the surface, and, although small
ut first, it rapidly widened to IA inches,
