MsnIng ,Notes.

ore from the Lexington worked at James
mill last week with fattering results.
Edmiston and 'ssoldier" James have .
contract from Barney Mccall to sink 81
feet on the Lydia, and commenced worl
Monday.
RObt. johnson has made good strike
on the K. L. Lee and has frst-rat,
showing on the Stonewall jackson. III
will make shipment soon.
Conkey, Young and Miller have shipped
a carload Of ore which they sorted "
from the old blackberry dumps. The or,
was sent to the Denver Public sampler.
O'Rouke & Fallen are leasing on the
on the north end Of the Empire and arc
taking out high grade ore. They have
out about carload and will soon make
shipment
Darden, Gilliland, shippy and sherick
have a lease on the south end Of the
Empire above the water level. They are
working two shifts, and have out over a
carload Of good ore.
Jos. Waggoner, who has lease on the
Illinois, has just made strike Of high
grade ore, which carries both gold and
silver. The streak is small, but is enlarg-
ing as the work progresses.
Twiggs and Kelly have finished their
contract on the Esmeralda and have gone
back 10 work on the Lexington. They
have large streak Of very fair ore and a
small streak of high grade which they
are taking out. They will make a ship
ment in few days.
A force Of six men are now at work on
the Bull Dog, putting in timbers and
making preparations to commence stop
ing. There is nov 20 feet of Stopping
ground, aud if the mill run Is satisfactory
they will sink 90 feet deeper and again
stope. A whip will be erected imme-
diately.
At the Empire there is force Of eigh-
teen men at work. A Wine is being sunk
on the l50-foot level and large quantity
Of high grade ore is beng taken out.
There is now on the dump one carload Of
screenings and about two carloads Of ore
ready for shipping and the output will be
increased as soon as the new steam
pump can be put in.
James mill in Todd Basin is running
from II to Is hours day at present and
will run night and day as soon as they
have more water. Mr.. James informed
as this week that he intended to save the
water now going TO waste by pumping it
back into tanks. The mill is working
fully as satisfactorily as expected and is
saving up TO s. per cent. The mill is now
running on ore from the Todd mine and
will soon start in on a 100 ton lot from
the Bull Dog.
The Queen Bee is being rapidly deyel- !
Oped under the able management Of Supt. |
Park. There are fourteen men at work. |
Scott & Peters are taking out |
good ore and will soon make a shipment |
A force of men are at work in the main
shaft, which will be sunk 80 feet deeper,
making total depth OF l75 feet. They
row have a streak Of good ore which is
;etting wider as they go down. A drift
las been run TO connect with the upper
workings, and they are raising and sink
ng 10 a connection. The mine is looking |
veil and good ore is being taken ont Of
both the lower and upper workings.
On a recent visit to the Flores mine We
ound men at work grading for the new
tamp mill, the road being finished. As
We passed over it TO the hoist we noticed
everal dumps Of ore amounting to three
II four hundred tons, and were told that
here was as much more in the bins Of
he old mill and on the 100 foot level,
aken down over year ago. 1t all shows
bout sixty per cent free gold in the
orn spoon, the balance being concen-
rates that can be made as high grade as
esired. The last developments opened
p large body Of ore, and the face Of
he north drift, at the time OF the shut
own, showed over ten feet of solid ore
Thich is very much decomposed, 80
luch 80 that where it has not been thor
ughly drained it will stope itself out ten
r fifteen feet before timbers can be put
! place. The soft character Of this ore,
'hich in most cases is thing greatly
esired, seems 10 stand very much in
lanager John Ii. Campbel's way, as
is people have instructed him TO take
own the rich ore, going from $500 70
1000, and have it milled, but il will be
,adily seen by practical miners how i'm.
ossible ii would be TO take down part
nd leave the balance. One glance at
he dumps show tbi s, and there is no
lestion in our mind that if Manager
ampbeIi is not hampered by his com
any With theoretical ideas, but is given
le support he asks, that they will have
plant Of which they may justly be
-oud, with financial output second to
1ne in the county. The attempt 10 run
mine from distance Of over a thou
nd miles has caused the downfall of
any good properties.
Only One in the United states.
