bernard Holtum. the well known
| manager of the Triumph Mining COM
pany's mining properties at Centen-
| NAL came in last night from that place
| in company with w. X. lines and son
of the Bradley mine. The two latter
left for their home in Grand Rapids,
Michigan on the noon train, where
| they will spend the holidays, after
which they will return to the Centen-
NAL and prosecute work on their prop
erty.
Mr.. Hotum was seen by n Boomer
ang representative and stated that
Messrs lines and E'religh have I'M
doubtedly struck a genuine Golconda
in the Bradley No. mine. on Michigan
yhill He visited the property just be-
/ fore coming in and states that in rum
ming n cross-cut north across the form
alton from the main tunnel, which was
run last summer, they encountered
streak of sulphide ore which at the
time did not, in their mind, give much
promise of ever proving of much vail
ne. This was Mt depth of about
thirty feet from the surface and the
| cross-cut was continued on some thirty
feet further when 1t was decided to go
back and sink on the streak of ore they
had passed over. So landing was
cut 10Xf2 feet, in the clear, which is
timbered in a very substantial manner,
a first-class windlass erected, and sink
ing was begun. From the first the
lead proved far better than was ever
anticipated, and although the shaft is
now but twenty-five feet in depth, they
have total depth from the surface
of about ilfty-five feet, n solid vein of
sulphide ore which has gradually at
tanned width of eighteen inches, and
from II number of assays and mill tests
1t is found that none Of the ore runs
below $50 per ton in gold The high
| est assay is stated to be $50.
During the sinking of the shaft men
have been busy erecting a first-class
| tunnel house, ore sheds, cabins. etc.
and everything done to carry on per-
manent work throughout the winter.
1t is estimated that they now have
about twenty tons of ore on hand
ready to ship and today two bales of
ore sacks arrived in Laramie from
Denver which will be taken out in the
morning along with a four-horse load
of supplies They viii make their in
itial shipment of a carload to the Oma-
ha and Grant smelter, at Denver. as
soon as the roads permit the hauling
of the ore. Mr.. lines will stop over
| in Denver n day to arrange for its
| treatment. IT is said that a very reas-
| enable rate, both on freight and smet-
| err treatment has been obtained, which
will enable the shipping of all their
L MS bTe IL Siilu. 10 ne very
| desirable as fluX and the smelters are
| very anxious to get it.
Six men have been engaged at work
| up to the present time, and n double
shift will no doubt be working from
now on until drifting is commenced,
when the force vii probably be en-
| larged.
The men back of this promising
mine have plenty of capital back of
| them and there is no doubt but that
| we will soon have constant shipper.
| Some samples of the ore We're left at
| the Boomerang office where they may
| be seen at any time They certainly
| are very fine and speak volumes for
Laramie and her hidden treasures.
| which need only reasonable amount
| of capital and properly directed labor
| to make this district equal to any in
| the West.--Laramie Boomerang.
