DENVER. Feb. 1o.-The mines of Leadville are
steadily working and, the output In quite large.
though at this time no new enterprises are pro-
jected. The Illinois Steel Company, after sx-
perimentine with Leadville manganese orc, has
decided to obtain It's entire supply Of such ore
for speigel manufacture In the Colorado district.
This means . market for 10000 tons annually
which heretofore could not be sold to advantage
to the shelters. The manganese ore contains a
small amount OF silver. and its use In the pre-
cious metal reduction process is as a Hux. The
Western Federation Of Miners still maintains
that q strike exists In Leadville. and the idle
men are supported By tho union, but the mine
operators declare that there is no strike, as they
have all the miners at work that are needed.
Cripple Greek district has never shown ore
values outside the seven principal hills included
within the producing district. Now Galenn Hill,
north OF Grassy. Is beginning to attract atten-
ton. Ore 10 being saved from a number of
claims and several steam plants have been set
up to develop the properties. Southeast Of the
producing district. Cow Mountain has three
companies with money at work, and there are
reports Of favorable assays. Big Bull and
Straub have attracted spasmodic attention. but
proof Is not yet At hand that they are mineral
bearing. The district is 30 large and the outside
work SO spasmodic and ili-ndvised that proper
development has not been mado. Besides. the
producing district Is big enough TO keep tho
present population busy In exploration work.
They are developing one hill at a time. During
eighteen months the most progress was made
on Gold Hill, and now Beacon Hill IL receiving
most attention.
The Prince Albert Company's annual report
shows that the gross production by lessees since
last August has been SIS. 32s. the yield being
1913 ounces Of gold aud $50 ounces OF silver.
During January the Ell Paso colonization
works handled l.+07 tons, extracting S40,0o7
In gold. The company is building a 150-ton
mill at Florence.
Among tho recent discoveries in the district
IL q Ave- foot vein found on the T.. L. e. on
Galena Hill. Fifty tons of sorted ore taken
from the 65-foot shaft is estimated to be worth
$50 q ton. A Shipment has been made from tho
new discovery on the Proper In Poverty Gulch.
Assays of 500 ore, nave been had from q new
strike in the Hin lease Of the Bonanza King Ola
Gold Hill.
Ouray shipped out 100 cars Of orc in January.
Tn. Caroline Mining company 10 employing
400 men, and now men arc added right along.
By spring $50 men will be At work for this COM
