THE CRESCENT.

The Crescent has had a prosperous year not
withstanding that many hundred feet of dead
work have been been run. At the close of 1890
the Crescent had just begun operations which
would put it in position for deep work
ing. Arrangements had been made with the AL
lance company to extend the Hanauer tunnel
to point underneath the Crescent shaft, with
which the latter would be connected, afording
drainage for the entire upper workings. This
work has been completed and the connections
made at the 400-foot level. a station is now
being cut there and preparations are going on
for the development of the vein. A drift
has been run on the 200 and 300 = foot
levels and the vein explored on the former;
crosscuts are now being run on the 300 level
Tor the vein which will no doubt be cut before
This article is in type. Other work has been
done in the mine during the past year on the
different levels, but all has been with the one
object in view of getting the mine in condition
for vigorous work when it should be drained of
its water. Water has been the great draw
back to the Crescent during recent years, but
now that it has drainage for 400 feet in depth
it can be thoroughly developed to that
depth Without any further work. There
is ore enough in sight to run the mine at its
present output for five years. The vein is large
aud prolific, yielding both first and secondclass
ore. 1t ex lends through the length of the Cres-
cent ground 1900 feet, and its walls are from so
to leo feet apart. 1t dips to the southeast at an
angle of about70 degrees and its course is north
east and southwest. The Crescentis heavy pro-
Queer and it needs no prophet TO predict that it
has great future. Under the able management
of MIR. James McGregor, one of the members of
the executive committee OF the board OF direc-
tors, it is steadily forging ahead to place
among the dividend-payers
The company operates the Crescent concen-
traitor which reduces the second class ore to con-
centrates. The mill handled this year II SOP tons
of concentrates. The Jramway was delayed in
opening in the spring on account of the non
arrival of the new engine, THE Prospector, ~
which made some difference in the output. On
account of its location at the head of Thayne's
canon shipments cannot be make from the
Crescent during the winter months. Were it
not for this fact the output could be almost
doubled. The upper workings of the Crescent
have been operated during the year by Jerry NJ
Richardson under lease, and his success is
attested by the fgm es given below in the Cres-
cent output He has employed steadily about
forty men, while the company has had over one
hundred, making an average of hundred and
fifty men at work around the mine. Below is
the statement OF the output ofthe Crescent for
the year 1891, kindly furnished by the secretary
