The Champion Gold Mining Company.
another local pool, was organized during
the year to develop the Champion on
Kings fiat, west Of Nevadaville. The
mine is being thoroughly developed un-
der the management of Captain Harry
Trezse. The ore is galenous and has a
market value of from $50 to $50 per ton.
At the Gunnell mine, at one time the
leading producer of the county, under
the foremanship of Mr.. Joseph Neide-
meyer, the Meade stamp mill has kept
20 stamps employed throughout 1888.
The Cornish pump OIL the east shaft has
been put in readiness to resume WORK at
that point when Mr.. VIM. Fullerton OF
Denver, the manager, may elect.
In this city the Pierce mine has be-
come a factor in its supply of stamp mill
ore, and has produced quite an amount
of smelling ore. AT the Newfoundland,

A new pump line has beCn put in, new
pump stations cut. Some stopping has
been done, The property is now in good
shape to increase the production during
1899. The company has in contempla-
tion the erection OF mill to treat their
own ore, of which they have large bodies

The Chemung- Belmont at the head of
Running lode gulch has received 615 feet
of developments in sinking wines, driv-
ing levels and a cross-cut. 1t is owned
by home pool, of which ex-Mayor Phil

ager. The smelling ore averages $50
per ton; stamp mill ore, ozs. gold per

A short time ago the properties owned
and controlled by the Gold Coin Mines
company were turned over to Mr.. A. L.
Collins, Mr.. Dickey having resigned. At
the Hidden Treasure the main shaft is
being sunk 80 as to connect with the
California on the east. The latter is be-
ing unwatered for that purpose. At the
incline shaft of the Bobtail-Gregory
Consolidated, developments are being
made, while their holdings at Perigo are
being carefully locked after, work going
forward at the Perigo mine. 1t required
some time for Mr.. Collins to familiarize
himself with the work IN hand. How
ever, he is gradually getting matters in
shape for better results in the coming
year.
