The ale OF the Mammoth mine. on
summit Flat. to an English company.
ls considered the most fortunate thing
that has ever taken place for the pros
perfty Of this county. Although sew
eral strong companies have. in times
past, invested in mines of this section,
they had invariably been bilked. The
Mammoth, however, Is known to be
one OF the best mines OF the county.
For years Hon. Ben Wilson and III. ii.
whitney worked IL successfully, but on
reaching water level they were obliged
TO suspend work. not having sufficient
amount OF capital with which TO prose
cute work. Mr.. Wilson afterwards
became the sole owner. when he inter-
ested English capital, and they went
about the work very sensibly. as they
placed on IL good hoisting works and
sank 800 feet deeper before closing
the sale. The shaft shows the vein 20
be from IL to IA feet wide at the depth
of over 400 feet and the ore worth from
$25 to $45 per ton in free gold. The
company has purchased the Wide West
mill. at Rocky Bar. but 1t is not be-
lieved that il can be taken TO Summit
Fiat this year. as snow is liable to fall
at any time. The machinery Is boxed
ready for shipment II teamsters can
be found who will undertake ITO make
the transfer. The success OF this COM
pany will certainly cause other COM
panies to invest in mines on Summit
Flat. and when this is done We have
no fears for our. future success.
In Gambrinus district John McCarty
is at work on ledge that promises to
become a bonanza. The ledge is from
l. to 10 feet in width, and from six
inches to a foot and a half Of IL Is
very rich. gold showing all through 1t.
A few months ago Mr.. McCarty had 10
tons worked in the Boulder mill and IL
yielded $3.50 free per ton. and he saved
200 pounds of very rich sulphurets. The
ore he is now extracting is much richer
and he will send 10 or ~ tons to the
mill Immediately. He takes out the ore
with his own labor and is doing well.
At the depth of is feet the ledge Is
much richer than at the surface.
Very rich ore is coming out of the
Populist, which is worked this fall for
the first time. 1t will be milled at the
Blaine mill as soon as there is a suffi-
cient amount of water for the batter
ies. The shaft is down 45 feet. and
three men will spend the winter sink

East of the Illinois, and on fhe same
vein. Is the Lucky Boy. at which there
are 80 tons awaiting reduction. The
rock Is, as all that has been taken out
of the mine during the past 10 years.
very rich.
The Moriarty Brothers are running
10 stamps OF the Boulder mill. and
they say they will make a good clean
up.
j. n. Hall and j. h. Emery are do
ing some good work on mines at the
head of Baboon gulch. The ore coming
out shows plentifully of free gold. and
there is no doubt but that they will de-
velop a very valuable property. They
have owned these mines for several
years. but have had some trouble i'm
''getting onto" the right lodges as the
hill seems to be a network OF veins.
Charley Small and James Constable
will spend the winter developing two
quartz claims on Willow Creek, four
miles west of this place.
Dave Coughanour is doing well out
OF the Iowa mine and mill, at Quartz
burg. This mine was worked many
years ago. and the owners failed to
make success. Since Mr.. Coughanour
has been running IL his labors have
been attended with success. The mill
is a 1O-stamp, and Mr.. CouRhanour
says he will keep IL running right along
in future.
Thomas NOrcross and Myer q Smith
are developing a very promising free
gold mine at the head of Warm Spring
gulch. about three miles from this
place. Two men will be kept at work
on Il through the winter.
