A Strike of High Grade Chlorides
in the Genini.

A Strike of High Grade Chlorides
in the Gemini.
| E. N. Jenkins of the Whitaker mine
is in camp making preparations to
work that property
An additional pump with a capacity
of 5000 gallons an hour is being put in
by the Mammoth company at their
pumping station on Cherry creek.
The Tetro during the past week has
! been developing finely and there is
every indication to substantiate the
theory that the ore zone is not far
/ distant.
At the Godiva the ore still continues
of satisfactory grade, and another
shipment is in sight. This property
can now be added to the already long
list Of steady producers of the district.
The Ajax is shipping on an average
about one car a day of high grade ore
from the recent strike made on the
value in this ore and runs as high as
$40 in gold, about % per cent in cop
ner and 10 ounces silver The Ajax is
destined to come we'll to the front as q.
shipper before they get their own re-
duction works erected.
joseph Dederichs, the original and
| only joe who has never yet found a
completed the new 1.600-ton ore bins
! and trestle for the Mammoth mine. He
will at once go to Mercur, where he
has the contract to put hosting works
OH the East Golden Gate and a mill on
the Golden Gate. Joe built the great
I Saltair pavilion and the Mammoth and
| Sioux mills.
Our old-time friend, Tom Butler, who
is associated with Johnny Leysen and
Tom Taylor, has just made a good
strike of ore in the Boss Tweed that
goes 81 in gold, % per cent copper and
! 90 ounces silver. This ore body, which
shows about six feet between walls,
was encountered in a VIM put down
about forty-seven feet from the bottom
| Of a ninsty-foot incline sunk from the
| face of the tunnel level. The boys
| have one years lease on the ground
and feel much elated. and they have a
right to.
! The heavy timbers for the battery
/ extension at the Eureka Hill mill are
beirg delivered from the cars and
placed as fast as can be done by a
large force of carpenters. The in
crease to 100 stamps will require an
addition of six amalgamating pans and
six Frue VannerS. The present Comet
crusher has a capacity of 900 tons and
no further addition of crushing power
will be required to make this plant
one of the largest and most complete
combination milling plants in the
state.
A new and important strike of high
grade chloride ore has Just been made
on the 900 of the Gemini; it's full ex-
tent has not yet been proven but is
known to be very large. The main
shaft is being sunk to the 1000 level
and ore reserves there will be blocked
out. This latest development recalls
to mind the declaration of an eminent
mineralogist who examined some of
the principal mines Of the district
some two years ago. He said, 81 have
here seen the largest bodies of oxydized
ores at great depth l have ever en-
countered, and I believe they are the
deepest ever yet found"
A party consisting of Judge Good
rich, Ed Lewis, Major Dillon, Pat Sui
livan, Mike Sammon. Harry Morse
and Pete Burke have just returned
from trip to North Tintic. They
feel highly elated over some very rich
free gold ore they uncovered on the
Smuggler ground adjoining the Gold
Blossom Our informant one of the
party, says it is beyond question that
the Tintic ore formation extends in the
direction OF Mercur and no doubt they
have it there, but less free from base
combination. We believe this is the
prevailing opinion Of those best able
to form correct conclusions.
One of the most important enter
prises about to be inaugurated at
Mammoth is a standard guage railroad
from the present Union Pacific track
terminal at the mills to continue up
to the Mammoth mine, a distance Of
more than mile a branch will be
run to the Ajax and in all probability
m tho SiouY and others of tha noo,,hTy
mines later Work will begin very
soon upon the road bed and it is ex-
pected that within thirty days there
after the track will be down and cars
running. A locomotive of the Shea
