Mr.. Chairman and Stockholders Of the
Dalton Gold Mining ~ Milling Com
pany;
I herewith submit my report rs man
agor for tho year past.
When became manager Of this COIN
pany on February 20 last, found thai
The company was indebted TO quite an
amount, and upon personal inspection
barrassed condition had prevented thc
previous board from putting IN inc
necessary supplies for the boarding house
and mine, also, that we woro entirely
without timbers and had only small
supply OF wood. The necessary supplies,
timber and wood had TO DO put In nj "A
greatly increased cost, owing to the depth
OF snow and tho necessity OF keeping
oman tho trail from the canyon TO tho
mine, which required daily rhoveling by
almost the entire force, until we had
packed sufficient supplies and got in
timber aud wood for our spring opera
lions.
have, during tho time, driven main
or working tunnel OK feet In tho cloar, a.
n depth af 200 feet below tunnel No. .,
distance OF about $50 feet, which IL In
first class condition. At n distance Of 300
foot from tho mouth Of the main tunnel,
or No. ., wo encountered a vein OF quartz
on which we drifloi 300 foot, then
rtrikinga vein Of pay orc which we have
followed 20 feot: up to Jan. lJah. After
striking this ore, we found that tho DRIFT
was caving badly and II became nocos-
sary to timber the drift for distance Of
over 200 feot. We put In timbcr- four
feet apart and Jagged the entire distance.
We continued the shaft, connecting tun-
nels No. and No. 2 FROM tholevol of No.
2 about 30 foot, well timborod and ixG In
the clear, when We were compelled to
stop on account Of water. The shat has
been sunk all tho way on rich chimney
" ore, which continues TO the bottom OF
the shan and from which all our rich
shipping ore has boon takon; and tho
driit from our tunnel No. will strike
this chimney OF ore ut a depth OF about
1865 feet below tho bottom Of tho shaft, tho
face Of the drift being on Jan. 10Th about
1870 feet from tho shaft.
Tunnel No. has been cleaned out and
timbered from tho shan, u distance OF
about 1870 feet, to faco OF drift, also some
timbering from mouth OF tunnel 10 shaft.
II was also necessary for tho safety oftho
mon TO retlmber many places In tho
upper workings OF the mine.
We have now on hand supplies OF all
kinds, including powder and rails,
sufficient for tho present force I'LL May !,
and timber andwood onoughto last until
July.
During tho year we havo not operated
the mill M tho experience of tho previous
year proved that, without additional ma
chinery the mill would not save tho
values OF our orc sufficiently 20 Justify us
In working 1t. About Sept l. we added
TO the mill new concentration by which
we were able TO save about 80 per cont Of
the value OF our orc, but owing 10 tho
shortage OF water we woro unable to
operate the mill on anything but n sample
lot OF ore. Tho mill and insll machinery
are In good condition and well insured.
During tho year have succeeded with
the assistance OF several gentlemen who
are stockholders In the company, in taxi
ing up the mortgage OF 5000 on the
property, which was long past duo, and
we are carrying tho same with tho UNDER
standing that tho company shall not bo
required to take 1t up without detriment
Ihave managed the affairs OF the COM
pany without any expense to tho stock
holders, except the actual expenses
incurred in attending to tho business, to
which have given all the time noccs.
sary. i have also given my personal
endorsement to obtain funds when
required, pending the payment of assess
ments.
My future policy In regard to the mlnc
In case am retained M manager for tho
company, will be To drive tho main tun-
mol under tho shaft as rapidly m possible
and then mako an upriso TO connect the
tunnel with the shaft. Out OF nll this
ground 1 expect to bo able to stopo
class OF orc that caa DO shipped. | shall
also continue tho main tunnel on the vein
into the hill, sinking from the tunnel ON
the rich chimney of ORC. Also driving
tunnel No. . into the hill, which will
open up large body OF milling ore.
With regard 10 tho mill, will say that
propose to start II up on milling ore, NJ
soon M tho weather will permit, with our
present machinery, and the addition,
perhaps, OF pans and settlers, should tho
new concontraiors fail To save the values
we expect.
We have now on hand at tho mill
probably eighty tons OF crude orc boz
sides 100 tons of tailings, with several
hundred tons OF milling orc on tho dump
ut tho mino; and believe we win bo
able to run tho mill continuously from
the time II II started.
Thanking you for the support you have
given me In tho past year In my on
deavor TO successfully and economically
manage this property, / beg TO submit
herewith "a statement OF tho receipts and
disbursements under my management.
Hopefully submitted.
