elsewhere, can show a record equal
to the Chloride Point. At the COM
mencement of the year, the property
was being worked by leasers, some of
whom made considerable money. The
present company was organized IN
January, and consolidated number OF
claims, making a property of $50 acres.
The only work then was a tunnel 700
feet long, gophered out without any
regard to scientific mining. Only the
best ore had been taken out and
shipped All along this tunnel was ore
running from 40 ounces of silver up. A
streak of high grade ore, averaging
from 100 to 200 ounces silver and about
Sc in gold, was to be seen the Whole
length of the tunnel
The company commenced straight
ening and widening the tunnel, block
ing out the ore, and sinking a shaft
on the Gladstone claim, to connect
with the tunnel. In the course of their
workings the rich ore has been sacked
and shipped, and during the summer
about $50, 900 of this ore has been mar
keted, and from this all the expenses
of the mine, and the building of the
mill have been paid, and enough will
be left in the treasury to pay a $4,000
dividend to the stockholders.
A mill is at present almost COM
pleted and will be ready to run by
Feb. L. 1t is very compact, the build
ing being 2Sx32 feet, and IS feet high.
The ore coming from the tunnel to
the bin, and following through the
various departments to the tailings
dump by gravity. The mill building is
completed and a great deal of the
machinery is now on the ground. A
tramway 225 feet long brings the ore
from the tunnel to the ore bin at the
top Of the mill building, a perpendicular
drop of 80 feet The bin has a caDa-
city of 225 tons, from there the ore
goes to q No. 5 Gates crusher and
next through three sets of Coraish
rolls. Through the pulp bin, having a
capacity of $50 tons, it reaches the
tank room. The tank room is 2l2x52
feet, capable of holding 90 tanks. But
| ten are being put in at present. The
tanks are 20 feet in diameter and so
feet deep, and will hold 20 tons.
The precipitating tanks, go in num-
! Der will be on the second story, on the
west side of the pulp bin, While the
! dynamo is located on the east side.
The DYNAMO viii be 20 horse power
and the power will be furnished by the

] pany The cost of the machinery is
about $4,000.
Water, sufficient for all purposes has
been brought from Silverado canyon a
distance of 2,310 feet, and is pumped
up 43S feet.
a large new boarding house, assay
office, bunk house, etc, have been COM
| pleted.
1t is estimated that about 5000 tons
of good milling ore are on the dump.
A great deal of good ore has been

a blanket, 40 feet thick, averaging 40
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold.
three foot streak has been uncovered,
/ carrying from 1876 to $50 ounces silver
and S. in gold, and samples of ore
carrying 1000 ounces are not infre-
quent.
