springs by means of $500 feet of fumes
Soon thereafter w. F. Snyder, in con-

Il car and track to convey the ore from
the ledge to the separator. About the
middle of August more bullion was
sent to market. w. F. Mitchell, in

OrOuSly. Choice ore was Sifted through
a screen and washed through the sep
aratOr, while cOdrSer stuff was sorted
and sacked or thrown on the dump.
Developments consisted of three tun-
nels, respectively 365, $40 and $50 feet
long, and 9O-foot incline on the vein.
A patent has been applied for. Two
shipments of sorted ore were made, the
rock averaging S11S a ton. Besides
this the owners have Denver mint re-
ceipts for 81, 032 worth of bullion. From
the fve-foot ledge of average S23
quartz there are now lying on the dump
thousand tons ready for the mill that
may go up next year. 1t is an ANAL

GENERAL CONNOR
Douglas Tompkinson, Charles Crane
and Charles Jukes located the General

q seven-fOOter and runs $17 in gold and
silver, but has never shipped anything
except for a test min run. Nature has
exposed the vein down a bluff for $50
feet. OF the ores values, So per cent

on the COnnor in the spring.
SEWER MINE.
The famous Sewer mine was first
staked off in 1888 and in the spring of
1889 Gold Mountain district was or
ganized. By the way a large numb Der
of the best locations were made about
that time. and the baby district had
just begun to enjoy a. healthy growth
when 1t received q severe setback in the
panic of 1893. The first three locations
on Gold Mountain were the Sewer, c.,
G, and D., and the TiptOp; all were
made by Crane, Jukes and Tompkin-
son. In 1889 Crane and Jukes snapped
their interest in the Sewer for Temp
kinsons in the c., G. and D. and Tiptop
and then Tompkinson sold the Sewer to
W. F. Snyder. a. j. Moore, Walter
James ard w L. Raht that same

foot tunnel and cut what is called the
west vein. upon which they sunk a 20
foot winze. In 1890 they shipped ore

closed down in the winter of 1891, after
an unsatisfactory run. A 6O0-foot tun-
