VIII make steady shipments as soon as

The Lille mine, Hinsdale county, is
now working fifty men, and shipping
from fifty to sixty tons of smelling ore
per month. The company proposes to
build Il mill next year for the treat
ment of the low-grade ores, of which
there are several thousand tons on the
dump.
The Incorporated companies of the
Cripple Creek district will disburse
S3lS,25O among shareholders this
month, which places November In the
lead In this respect of any month OF
the year. The total dividends for the
eleven months reaches the big sum OF
$2,4G5,910. This does not include the
earnings of several big properties
which are either owned by private
parties or close corporations, nor the
profits of lessees.
Says the Ward Miner: The October
record of the Newmarket mine was q
very satisfactory one. The production
was fifty-four tons of smelling ore and
231 tons of milling ore. This, too, with
but ten men underground. The min
ing operations are confined TO blocking
out new ground and Stopping In the $50,
800, 400 and 500-foot levels and running
a drift west In the 400-foot level. The
November record will exceed that Of
October. The mill is giving the best Of
satisfaction. The last shipment OF con-
centrates gave returns better than $40
per ton.
The Leadvllle Herald-Democrat says:
The Morning Star mine Is another
.dlvldend-payer that has paid a profit
every year. Prior to the purchase Of
the Evening Star II produced about ST.
100000. After the Evening Star went
into the combination the two mines
produced ms much more. For the past
ten years the property has been
worked principally by leasers, most OF
whom have done well, the stockhold-
ers having received from $4,000 to
100000 each year from royalties. Here
Is mine which has been a steady pro-
Queer for eighteen years and Is appa-
rently as good as ever.
Shipments from the new ore bodies
worked from the interior OF the shaft
Of the Mahala have averaged $50 tons
per day for the last few days, says the
Leadvlle Miner. This output will
probably be maintained and the No
vember shipments viii show a large
increase over October. The grade of
this ore averages better than the cores
from the diamond drill indicated. The
holstlng and pumping from this I'M
foreground shaft Is done with com
pressed air. The water from these
workings, as well as the overflow from
the Maid OF Erin, is pumped to the sur
face through the Robert Emmett.
