bryo bonanzas of Eureka gulch. 1t is
on a direct line with the Grand Central
and Mammoth. Recent gold strikes in
the Central 700 feet from the surface
indicate the continuance of the Won
derfully rich deposits of gold that
verified the name Mammoth in that di-
rection. The Eagle has been worked
by 1easers during past years, and sew
eral rich stringers of auriferous ore
taken out. 1t is quite probable that the
recent strikes in the Grand Central
will stimulate operations in the Eagle.
THE SNOWFLAKE
lying between the Eagle and the Eu-
reka-Hill, has been worked extensively
during the year and now has 300-foot
shaft down. A 40-horse power donkey
engine has just been installed and a
pipe line from the Centennial Eureka
viii conduct the compressed air to OPP
crate the plant The Snowflake has
produced some good ore in the past
years and should again become a pro-
Queer in the future.
THE TETRO
has lain idle for several months, but it
is the intention of the owners to resume
work early in January of 1898. The
property consists of a group of five
claims, ON the northwest slope of Co
diva mountain. The tunnel through
which the property is worked is in 1900
feet, with a good showing in the face.
GODIVA HILL
has come to the front the past year
through the development of the Go
diva, Uncle Sam, Humbug and Hum
bug No. 2. All of these properties have
demonstrated the existence of large
ore bodies in Godiva mountain.
THE GODIvA
has been thoroughly prospected during
the year, and so much good ore en-
countered that an ore house of 1000
tons capacity was erected and q pair
of Cotton u. S. standard scales put in.
The Rio Grande Western railroad will
build spur to the mine in the spring,
but it is quite probable that shipments
will be begun before that time. The
shaft is 400 feet deep and equipped
with a steam hoist. About 400 feet of
drifting has been done the past year,
and an electric light plant installed.
Its next door neighbour, the
UNCLE SAM,
was purchased from the owners of the
Godiva by Uncle Jesse Knight early
in 1897, is a. steady producer of high
grade ore, its shipments averaging
is well equipped with a steam hoist, ore
bins, etc, and has added materially to
Mr.. Knights ron" 1t was in the
HUI BUG,
however, that Mr.. Knight earned his
reputation as mining man. This
property is worked entirely through
tunnels and WINES and has the re-
markabIe record of 100000 in high
,.uoylo e;1,-or-lan1 opac 1r7,.ff7or tho fi,.c,t
three months after it changed from a
prospect TO a mine. 1t is generally
understood that Humbug shipments
will be curtailed for awhile, and mill
project is said to be under considera-
ton. Mr.. Knight recently purchased
the control of stock in the Richmond &
Anaconda company. Three of the nine
locations of this company lie on the
crest of the hill above the Humbug,
and will form a valuable adjunct to
that property. The other six are
mile west OF Godiva mountain, near
the West Gable. Below the Humbug,
at the mouth of the tunnel, a streak
of good ore was recently encountered
in the
MOUNTAIN VIEW,
within four feet of the surface. Mr.. T.
D. Sullivan is the owner of the prop
erty and will at once sink on the ledge
where the strike was made. The
MAYDAY AND YANKEE,
adjoining claims, are both promising
properties that will surely come in for
a share of Godiva's riches. Following
the ore channel south, the first pro-
Queer encountered is the
UTAH.
which is owned by the Utah Consoli-
