PLANS FOR THE MELvINA.
A New Company Will Operate This Famous
Boulder County Mine.

A New Company WlllOperateI This FAMOUS
Boulder County Mine.
By the incorporation of the Melvina
Mining company few day since, this
old and rich Boulder county mine will
soon be put in condition to commence
regular shipments. This mine is one of
the oldest in Boulder county and has a
phenomenal record tor the production of
rich ore. On account of differences be-
tween the owners it was sold many years
ago to Scotch company which, after
some years of bad management aban
doned the property. 1t remained idle
until about two years ago, when d. q
Peabody OF this city secured a bond and
lease of the mine and has since been at
work opening the property, and develop
ing the ore body. The company which
has now taken the mine is organized
with a capital stock of s1.5oo,ooo in
shares of the par value of 81. The direo-
tors for the ensuing year are D. G. Pea
body, president; c. S. Crysler, secretary;
Frederic White, treasurer; Willard Tel
ler and A w. Tenant.
Since the mine has been operated by
Mr.. Peabody between 1000 and 5000
tons of ore has been blocked out and is
now ready for shipment. The ore ship
ped by Mr.. Peabody during his opera
ton of the property has averaged little
more than $40 per ton. All was sent to
the Argo smelter. 1t is believed that
this average will be maintained in future
shipments. The company proposes to
put up the necessary machinery and
prosecute extensive developments, while
at the same time making regular ship
ments. The mine has very large area
of undeveloped territory. as in the early
days of its existence it was worked in a
primitive way and with no reference to
the formation of ore reserves. The vein
has been found to be practically contin-
uous where deep explorations have been
made, and all the indications point to the
opening of great property by the sys.
tematic explorations which will be inaug
urated by the company. Arrangements
are now making for the commencement
of this work and Mr.. Peabody says he
expects that the first shipment from the
mine will be made in the course Of few
weeks-as soon as the necessary surface
improvements are completed.-Denver
