THE SUPERIOR NINE.
Mr.. Reckhart has just returned from
rior mine, of which his brother is the
president. The company is entirely
comp posed of Ell Paso people.
The mine Is located south of Lords
burgh, in the old Shakespeare camp.
He is highly pleased with the outlook
and sorry that he was not in on the
d. al. The company began shipping as
sOon as the papers were signed and
they are paying off the purchase price
rapidly. They. propose to put in a
gasoline hoist of the Weber style and
which is now on the way. When it ia
set up they will begin shipping rich
ore from the lower workings.
The shaft is in excellent condition
and we'll timbered. The ground is
solid and the ledge matte~ can be trac-
ed in all the Slopes and in the shaft and
wines, showing the ore BODY to be
practically continuous.
They are only working very small
force. but next week will see it doubled
or trebled. They are working two
shifts
The location is ideal. After the ore
is raised to the surface it is banded
by gravity and the teams have a down
hill pull on a good solid road. The
bottom of the shaft, about 226 feet. is
still in ore aud no sign of water.
The character of the ore changes as
they go down from the carb mates
