late John Judge, Thomas Kearnes, A. b.
Emery and w. V. Rice being the lesses.
The verdict of the jury In the famous
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES suit, gave the
lessees freer opportunity to work the
property, the injunctiOns being removed
as a result of the verdict. On account of
the litigation, in which they are involved,
the lessees do not give any information
concerning the operations OF the mine
to the public, therefore nothing is
known of the extent of the underground
workings or the value of the output of
the mine. A force OF 100 men has been
employed all the year until about the
first OF the present month, when forty
four were laid off. The output appears
in the statement of ore shipments for the
Park and it will easily be seen that the
lessees have not lost money. In cOnnec-
ton with the Mavfower mention should
be made of the operations of Messrs.
Varcoe and Flindt, who have handled the
entire second-class output OF the mine
! through jigs, realizing Tor both them
selves and the company good profit.
This second-class ore averages adopt ~
ounces silver and II per cent. lead. By
jigging they run the concentrates up to
go ounces silver and AZ per cent. lead.
About 100 tons of these concentrates per
month were shipped. They employed ten
men until couple of weeks ago, when
they closed for the winter.
THE JUPITER.
In the early days of the Park, the Ju-
piter was one of the most promising
properties. An immense vein was found
on the surface from which ore to the
value of over SO 600 was extracted. This
was in 1874. A company was organized,
consisting principally of Council Bluffs
people, which has since operated the
mine. 1t embraces seventeen claims ly
| ing at the head of Thayne's canyon. As
the vein descended il became barren and
for some time past all operations have
been confined to the development of the
| vein in the lower or Nellie tunnel
! During this year drift has been run 210
! feet on the vein to the northwest, follow
ing the foot wall. Crosscutting the vein
proved it at one place to be twenty EIGHT
feet wide and at another. ffty-one feet.
1t is expected that 100 feet more will have
\ to be run before the ore chutes are en-
countered in their downward trend.
About the middle of August the company
stopped work, but it was Immediately re-
sumed by Charles E. Street, who Sc
cured a lease of it extending to
Dec. 81, 1894. He has employed five men
working in ore in the incline from the
middle tunnel. He has just marketed
twenty tons of high grade ore, some of it
assaying 1853 ounces silver, So per cent.
lead and S17.36 in gold. He viii continue
work all winter, his object being to dis
cover the real trend of the ore chute and
to develop its strength. W. Sudintoff of
Council Bluffs, Ia, is secretary of the
company.
THE MEEARs
Mining company is one of the strong
companies of the Park. 1t has a capital
stock of SO, 900, 000 divided into 400 600
shares OF the par value OF S25. j. r.
! Walker is president of the company; p.
lfT l.
Walker, secretary, and NJ. II. Walker
treasurer, who with George A. Meears
and Philip Morgan, constitute the board
of directors. The company owns block
of fifteen claims, which adjoin the Daily,
DAILY West and Anchor properties. The
story of the development of the Meaars
would be almost history of the Third
district court for the past eight years, for
IN that time forty-four lawsuits have been
fought and won by the company, and
! those now in the company who were in
terested in it prior to its incorporation.
The first work was done in the No. shaft
but it was decided to sink new shaft
nearer to the supposed line of the vein.
| This is now down $40 feet, and is
still going down. Work in it will
not stop until connections are
made with the drifts running rom the
| DAILY West and DAILY, which will be at
about six hundred feet. Mr.. George A.
Meears is manager of the property and
under his guidance there can be no doubt
but that it will be brought into the circle
of dividend payers before many months
are past. Only the treasury stock of the
company finds its way into market, an
indication that the holders believe it to be
good stock to hold.
THE ALLIANCE
Company has done but little work on
| 3 oIo >, fox No
pound of ore has been shipped. In the
upper works nothing has been attempted
more than the keeping in repair the
drifts, ETC. In the lower works only de-
velopment work has beer done, the ex-
tent OF which the company does not de-
sire to make public. The development of
the mine is being done through the big
drain tunnel, which is over 4, 800 feet in
length. This was constructed a couple
of years ago at a cost of $3.50, 900, and
since then operations have been confined
principally to the exploration of the
vein. The mine is well equipped with
machinery, a compressor, drills, ETC.,
and there is scarcely any doubt but that
il will develop into a paying property
during the next season as the company
has changed somewhat its plan of oper-
ations. Thirty men are now at
work, but there is nothing
definite as to how long the work will be
continued. The Alliance company has
capital stock of 500, 600, the shares being
at the par value of 81. Its officers are as
follows: President, A. Hanauer; vice
president and manager, n. Treweek
secretary, c. T. Stevenson; treasurer,
James Glendenning. These, with r. G.
Chambers, j. J. DAILY and D. G. Nc
Laughlin, form the board OF directors.
THE WOODSIDE
which, in the hands OF Welman Bros. and
Drake in 1888 and 1889, served as the key
to unlock the treasure vaults of Woodside
canyon, has not recently enjoyed as great
prosperity as its neighbors, the May
Flower and Silver King. 1t consists of
nine patented claims and embraces 8, GOO
feet on the supposed line of the VEIN 1t
