mining in Colorado for So years, de-
clares that he has never seen a richer
showing than that of the Mercur Mer
curry lode. in the new gold camp of
Klux. west of this city. Mr.. Tiff to-
gether with many other old time and
experienced miners. has taken up a
residence at the scene of the excite
ment. Several leads of ore. ranging in
value from > to 10 ounces gold per ton
have been uncovered in the camp with
in a few days. An option on the Mer-
cur. held by Charles NJ. Sharpe and
others, must be taken UP by Wednes-
day, but as possession of the property
is contested by three different parties,
the deal may not be closed on that
date. The liverymen have more bust

there are % inches of mineral that will
go from 800 TO $500 in the yellow metal
to the ton. The captain also says that
at a point about so feet back from the
face of the tunnel there is a cross-vein
of ore that is from Il to Is feet in
width that carries good gold values.
During his visit TO the mine the cap
tain made arrangements for the con-
tinuation of the work in the extension
of the main working tunnel. besides
which he let contract Tor $50 feet of
work in the driving of a lower tunnel
on the vein which will be 40 or so feet
below the present workings.
On account Of the deep SHOWS work
in the district has been greatly retarded
this spring, but development is being
pushed in the Miller mine, and in the
face of the drift in this property there
is an excellent showing of pay rock,
while on the DUMP there is quite an
amount of good mineral ready for ship
ment. Other properties in that locality
are, or will be worked this summer, and
in that locality it is reported that
Charlie Lammersdorf will erect a 60
stamp mill at the Sewer mine. On
Mill creek Snyder and Moore are get
ting ready for sluicing. while just
above them James Bolitho of Rfchfield
is also putting in fumes and getting
ready for active work in the recovery
of placer gold in the near future.
Quite a number of Colorado miners
are now going into the district. and it
is believed that before snow falls again
some valuable discoveries will be made
there and a large amount of develop
ment work done.
