IeRse Of Mine,


Cripple Creek, Col, March s1s-WIl
liam TrevarTow, superin tendent Of the
Pharmacist mine, and one Of the best
and most successful miners In the dis
trict. has been appointed by the court
receiver of the Wright. Marshall & An
derson lease on the Grouse. which is
owned by the Bankers company. He
took charge of the mine today, and put
twenty men to work. Last December
the first carload shipment was made
and for the past two months regular
shipments of high grade ore have been
made to the smelters. The lessees,
who were working the ground, were
interested IN number of other mining
ventures but owing 10 the failure OF
some OF them, they were unable TO
meet the payroll last month. The
officers Of the Bankers company then
came in and said that by the terms Of
the lease Il had been forfeited. OBJ
lection was made as TO the way the
mine had been timbered. and work
was stopped until II was put in a safe
condition. The trouble between the
lessees and the company was brought
into court and pending a decision, Mr..
Trevarrow was appointed receiver. The

mines on Bull hill, and has been only
partially prospectei- The receiver, af-
tsr thoroughly inspecting the property

deal OF ti1ubeFing and dead work TO
put the mine in a safe condition.
