During the month of March JUS
passed, the directors Of the Atlantic
Pacific Railway Tunnel Company
! have authorized the purchase of the
Ell Dorado gold-bearing mines ant
properties, and other properties ad
joining thereto, and this purchase
comprising an area Of over three hun
| dred acres, has been bought by the
Atlantic-Paciflc Railway TUNE
Company. and fully paid for, the sun
being a trihe less than S1jO,OOO. Thi.
addition to the other valuable and
extensive properties of the Tunnel
Company is exclusively gold-bearing,
so far as mineral is concerned. 1t
consists of the Ell Dorado, the Rispah
and the Beulah lodeS or mines, each
OF which are patented properties, SC
that there is no possible chance fol-
dispute as to conflicting claims and
the matter of titles. Adjoining these
three mines and included in the pur,
chase is the SawlOg Placer claim, so.
called, of ninety-Seven acres. Nearly
| all of this Placer claim is valuable fOI
the Placer or nugget gold contained
therein, and those interested in hy'
draulic mining have offered the Tun'
mel Company $500 per acre for this
Placer ground, but it is not for sale
The Tunnel Company buys, but does
not sell real estate. Adjoining the
SawlOg Placer are other Placer claims
and properties, included in the pur.
chase above noted.
These properties are located on the
Blue River, in Summit county, Color,
ado, eight miles upstream from
Breckenridge, the way being along
the bank of the river, easy grade, 81
that ore or mineral can be hauled
down on wagons with comparative
ease and at reasonable rates from the
mines to the railway station at Brock
enridge.
The new purchase is Immediately
joining the Monte CriStO portion o
the Tunnel Company properties
The Monte CristO properties are OF
! the northwest side of the Blue River
which at this point is a clearwater
rapid-running stream, varying il
width from, say, fifteen to thirty feet
The Monte CriStO properties are il
Mount Quandary, one of the snow
capped mountains, rising exceeding
1900 feet from the narrow valley o
the Blue river.
The Ell Dorado properties are OF
the northeast side of the Blue river
on and in North Star mountain
which rises nearly, if lOt quite, Il
the height of Quandary mountain
The Ell Dorado vein stands nearl,
perpendicular. 1t is, so faraS opened
at least six feet in width. All tn
contents of the vein are worth treat
ing by machinery, and range in valu
from $l5 to 800 per ton. The Ell Do
RADIO vein has been opened and ex
plOred, or driven into few hundred
feet, starting in at a point a littl
above the bed of the stream, and ais
opened at point 800 feet above tn
lower opening while the third open
ing or exploration has been made at
point 1000 feet from the creek up TIN
mountain sides, here heavily covered
with timber. Thus the vein is prov
en- continuous from the point of dis
cOvery and opening at the base of tn
mountain to point 1,20O feet u
from its discovery point. 1t is one 0
the great big gOld-bearing veins com
mon to Summit county. The RispaI
and Beulah veins included in thi
purchase are similar in all respects +
the FL Dorado.
On this property is now mill, on
of the most complete, if not til
most complete, in Summit county
1t is stamp mill with the COpeli
process of concentration attached
so that it is in all respects a perfecte,
! plant, and with capacity of clearl
treating from twenty to twenty-flv
tons of EldoradO ore every twenty
four hours. The daily product of tn
mill in dollars and cents net, over al
expenses, will exceed $500, and rang
between that and 81, 900. The capaC
ity of this mill will, this summer, b
enlarged tillit will be able to treat 10
tons of this ore daily. The Ell Dorad
mine was discovered in 1879, and vii
