A Visitor There Speaks of the wyomin
Camp, MS He Found 1t.

Camp. ms He Found II.
II. L. Terry of Cripple Creek arrived
from n trip to Grand Encampment,
wyoming, says the Denver Republican.
II made quite an extended examina-
ton of the district said he. "and
while there is not sufficient develop
ment as yet to determine with any ac-
curacy the value Of the district, i am
satisfied that the prospects are very
favorable for the making of n good
camp. There Is n great deal of work
In progress. and in every claim that
examined the indications are extremely
promising. Before going there | was
told by good mining man, who had
been through that section many years
ago, that ! would find a great portion
of the naturalization in cash veins and
most of them quite shallow. l did find
a number of cash veins but / also find
that there are large number of true
veins. and the general character of the
country and the stratiiication justifes
the belief that development will show
good veins and continuous ore bodies.
The country rock is gneiss. quartzite.

THE only property that has produced

copper ore. When 1t is considered that
this ore was hauled GO miles to the
railroad and shipped to Chicago for
treatment. still retaining a profit. the
value of the ore can be imagined. Some
of this ore / am told ran so per cent
copper. All of the ore shipped has been
taken from the shaft which Is now 200
feet deep and connects with tunnel
The property is equipped with steam
plant. The vein on the surface was a
narrow streak which has widened grad
ually until there is now three feet of
shipping ore In the bottom of the shaft.
The Charter oak is developed by an
incline shaft now down something
more than 100 feet. and shows a five
foot vein OF ore carrying about $40 per
ton III gold and 90 per cent copper.
1.-THE Victor group promises to be a
good copper producer. 1t is devel-
oped by n tunnel which now has a
length of 500 feet and has attained II
vertical depth of Gd0 feet. There are
four distinct leads in the property
carrying iron oxides and yellow cop
per.
THE Kurtx &C Chatterton tunnel is
now about 1e5C. feet long and in its
progress has cut four ditinct leads, the
first at 500 feet from the mouth, the
second at sa5 feet, the third at 1000
feet ond the fourth at 1925 feet. All of
these veins carry ore which will pay If

veins are developed by shafts 30 and 80

1.-The Golden Eagle has a narrow vein
at the surface, which. at the bottom of
14-foot shaft. has widened to &c
inches of ore that will run $40 to the
ton in gold About twelve tons of ore
now stored for shipment will average
at least $50. There are several other
good properties worthy of mention
which have forgotten. 1t goes without
saying that such an amount of devel-
opment by practical miners would not
have been done had there not been the
most encouraging prospects.
