In Redwing upper level workings
some time ago and had been tediously
followed, suddenly opened out to Is or
Is inches, and last evening it was
showing gratifying indications that it
has come to stay. Three tons of fine
grade were dumped into the bin from
it Yesterday The Red Wing people
have reason to feel greatly elated over
this strike, and also over a streak of
several inches just found that chal-
lenges some of the best performances
of its neighbor, the Julia Dean. The
stuff from it whites like ''Battle-Axe,
and an assay shows SO per cent lead. Is
per cent copper, ia ounces silver and
SOB in gold-S500 ore easy. enough. A
fuller report of this find, with permits
sion, will be made in our review next
week. 1t seems from present outlook
that the Red Wing is about to develop
into a paying mine, which its opera
tors have believed from the first it is
destined to be.
Near the breast of the Contention
(Fortune group tunnel raise was
made the other day which went direct
~ into five feet of ore-there being two
feet below tunnel Roof About II tons
were taken from the raise-a hole big
enough to swing a cat in. The ore car
ries copper, silver and gold, and much
of it is of shipping quality. The tun-
mel, which is now in ], 500 feet, is poorly
ventilated, and consequently operations
in it are nearly suspended. 4 connec-
ton recently made with an upper (Key-
stone) tunnel, 400 feet back from the
Contention, failed to give the circula-
ton hoped for, and an air pipe system
will not be put in. Manager Hill is
elated over the present showing of the
Fortune, and says there is no longer
any room for doubling that it is a great
mine. During July and August Mr..
Hills shipments were largely from the
Keystone, under lease. He will now
increase work for production on the
Fortune, and large output will be
made before the holidays.
The big boiler Of the Winnamuck is
taking a three or four days lay-off for
repairs. At 1:30 yesterday morning it
blew out from blister, and Superin-
tendent Cook summoned repairers from
the city by the early train. Meanwhile
the old boilers are on duty, taking care
of the pumps and raising an occa-
sional bucket of ore, which is rapidly
piling up in the drifts.
Manager Lee has just shipped to
Chicago parties interested in the Star
lus and Amanda, a number of large
samples from those mines, also a car
boy of copper spring water. They are
to be used in testing g mating process
manufactured at Chicago, which it is
hoped will prove what is wanted for
treating the company's ores.
Davis & Co. have driven the deep
tunnel of the Greek group to about 800
feet, and within 20 feet farther will
reach the vein Of a claim from which
in a shaft good mineral was formerly
taken. The tunnel crossed several
small but promising streaks of ore, on
which some drifting has been done and
will be continued.
Standish & Jimpson are having
100-ton sample lot of Old Telegraph
second-class tested at the Dewey mill.
They have an option on 5000 tons,
which they will have treated if the re-
suit of this run is satisfactory. The
Dewey has also been running on Phoe-
nix and Spanish ore this week, and is
doing excellent work.
A suit brought by NJ. Klopenstine
against Steve Hays to quiet title to the
Jupiter lode mining claim, is under con-
sideratiOn in Judge Hiles' court. The
property is situated on the divide be-
tween Muddy gulch and the main can
yon.
R. S. Guiliani and nephew are driv-
ing tunnel in the Susquehanna to
reach the Venice vein, 200 feet below
former workings. They are in 100 feet,
and have still about $50 feet to go.
ID sang IHdI IuSy Will zap
a large body of rich ore.
J. NJ. Walker and Bob Smith have
sunk 20 feet on the Yukon in Cotton
wood, and opened up over three feet
of milling ore between well defined
walls. An assay shows it carries lead
and silver and S. in gold.
The hoist at the works of the West
Mountain placer is being replaced by a
new and larger one, necessitating about
a ten days suspension of operations.
The change will be completed on or
before Saturday week.
Wednesday Standish & Jimpson be-
gan hauling from the Niagara bins,
which are filed to overlooking, the
largest containing upwards of 200 tons.
The Old Jordan and Galena mill is
now running full blast, and 60 to 60
tons Of concentrates hit the tram daily. |
The 10-40 is sending down another lot |
which will leave the depot in a day or
two.
Adam STOPPER is on the market with |
a shipment from his Erie lease.
Rumor says the Old Jordan's cya-
hiding plant is soon to be enlarged.
