The greater than normal monthly
profits shown in the above report by ths
manager of the DeLamar mines, is ac-
counted for by THE fact that this being
the end OF fiscal year with the com
pany general cleanup was made of ac-
cumulations about he mines and mill.
Several odd lots of shipping ores were
sent away from the mines which had
collected from time to time lot OF
concentrates from the vanners were sold
and Accommodations in the retort room
were disposed of. On the other hand
the expenses were greater for the
mouth, because, in anticipation of
larger profits, considerable expendi-
lures We're made during the month
which would ordinarily have been car
ried through a longer period, it being
the policy of the management to keep
the returns made each month as nearly
at standard up to which they can be
maintained regularly as practicable.
Captain PIummer has promised us a
brief review of the Improvements made
and the development work done on the
property during the year ending last
month, but he has been somewhat in
disposed for some days past and we have
had to defer this matter until later. We
can say, however, that the general out
look for this great property is even
brighter than at the time when the last
annual report was madeto the directory,
the amount of reserves in sight having
been increased by further develop
ments. A large amount of improve
ments will be made on the property
during the present year.
WEEKLY SHIPMENT.
This week the DeLamar Co. shipped |
seven bars of bullion valued at SIS, 300 |
HowE-MANHATrAN.
The party who has bonded the Howe
Manhattan and Leplsy groups of mines
s very much elated over the develop
nents. Early this week the ledge was
'ut on the Howe claim, aud assays made
rom samples where the vein shows
'ver six feet in width, which run up to
1880. The quartz is quite hard and
old can be seen in it with the naked
ye. This strike was made in extend
ng the tunnel to point within a few
eet of the west end line of the Wilson
lain, the original claim of the Della
nar company, and proves tho extension
f the vein series in that direction. It
J on the piece of ground at one time in
ispute between Fl. G. Anchor, " ho To-
ated it as the Gold Button, and B. S.
lowe, who claimed it as a part of the
lowe claim. The court settled the IT, /
e in favor of Mr.. Howe. The Howe ,
lain is an irregularly shaped piece of I
round, covering nearly the area of a [
Ill claim, lying between the Mauhat-
IN and Wilson east, and the Chautau-
ua on the west. This rich find, it is
atural to infer, settles the question of
le purchase of this splendid group of !.
ropsrties by the Milwaukee capitalists
" whom they were bonded. Ton per
,nt of the price, or $35, 900, is due June
1t, and natural anxiety has existed
nong business men here to see the
lrchase made, as the working of these Ii
ines means the erection of another big b
ill and the employment of nearly ii
ouble the number of men in the camp. n
ore than this, it will stimulate the de- i
slopment of score of other promis- ST
g properties on the mountain. II D
YES our already cheerful outlook a Il
uch more roseate hue. 1t makes the D
of railroad in here p
eater certainty. B
In this connection we wish TO assert il
If disbelief in a rumor, or rather an m
existing here, that tbs De- III
mar company is interested in hinder p,
g the sale or development of other al
ming properties here. Not only does OF
ch an impression appear absurd on its re
ee, but is contradicted by the compa- al
:. Captain Plummer has assured the Sc
JaoET that the contrary is more in nj
eping with their interests. The ne Sc
sity of railroad is 80 real that the We
