MINNESOTA MINE.

The Minnesota is the same as the
Lotus vein, but west and adjoining.
This property is worked by the Central
Improvement company, of which Mr.. A.
l.. Collins is the manager. The ore is
concentrated at the Rocky Mountain
Concentration works in Black Hawk.
Development work for 1899 consisted of
sinking the shaft 10 feet, the shaft
being 275 feet deep, and extending the
lower west level 20 feet. There was con-
siderable ore taken out in the earlier
part of the year from the west slopes.
The Hillhouse, after remaining idle
for long time, is now working under
the management OF Mr.. Depew, Of Den
yer, for Mr.. Rice, who has lease of the
property.
Northwest of the Hillhouse j. R.
Quigley & Co., of Central City, have
completed shaft house on the Argosy
for the company whose name the mine
bears.
A short distance south of the Topeka
mine dump Riley, Eby & Co., leasing on
the Defiance, have a shaft down 100
feet. Although receiving but two
ounces of gold on the plates, the price
paid for the stamp mill concentrates is
such as to make the ore profitable. The
smelling ore brings good price. II
the pocket on which they are now
drifting should prove continuous, the
lessees will equip the mine with a
steam holster and dispense with the
whip which is now in use for hosting.

LAKE DISTRICT.

There has been considerable activity
in mining throughout this district. The
East Nottaway, which has been leased
to home pool for some length of time,
some weeks ago passed into the hands OF
Sheriff William Mitchell, one OF the
original pool, who intends installing a
plant OF machinery and the erection OF a
new shaft house on the property. These
improvements added will greatly facili.
tate further development work and
handling OF the ore and waste rock.
The value in the ore is chiefly gold,
some OF which is very rich, especially
that which carries sylvanite.
During the year the Gold ~ Copper
Mining company was organized and
secured a portion Of the NOttaway vein
west OF Sheriff Mitchell's workings.
Through the manager a new boiler and
hoistirg plant has been placed on the
property, n steam pump placed In the
main shaft, development work being
prosecuted in systematic manner
under the management OF A. j. Vivian

situated on the south of Gregory street
cleaned out an abandoned shaft, retim
bered it, erected small shaft building
and equipped the property with steam
hoisting plant. At present they are de
veloping the vein, opening up new
ground. This property has not beer
worked since 1867.
During the year Ballatyne & Co., op
Grating the Puzzlcr vein, north of the
Cook property short distance, obtained
lease of the Peterson mine, the east
erly portion of the former vein, and are
taking out ore from the Puzzler through
the Peterson main shaft. On the mair
shaft of the former, sinking is being
done, over which is a small l-sized steau
plant. The ore is of good grade.
At the O'Neil, situated southwest Of
No. IL shaft on the Gregory lode, the
Ontario Gold Mining company, Cana
dian corporation, managed by Mr.. ii. C
Eastman, have equipped the mine
with an air compressor, new boiler. elec
trio plant. erected new ore house, anC
made other surface improvements, which
were needed. Regular shipments ol
stamp mill ore are now being made, as
well as smelling ore.
The Running Lode company's grour
of veins in Running Lode gulch, easterly
portion of Bobtail hill, is operated for
the Covers Mine syndicate under the
management of Mr.. White. The prop
erty is worked under the tribute system
The values in the ore is gold silver, lead
and copper. Mr.. White has been ex.
perimenting with the products of the
ore after treatment at the Rocky Noun.
tain concentrator in Black Hawk. The
ore was placed in a special Jig and the
lead separated from the copper-iron ore
The lead ore, after being taken from the
Jig, was found to be entirely free from
copper iron. BY this means the full
value of the ore was secured. By this
mode of treatmeet the lead can be sent
to the smelter working on lead basis
and the copper to the B. tS G. works at
Argo, which draws off all the values in
the ore treated in copper matte which
is afterward taken out by the refinery in
use by the company.
Among the veins that are classed
among those on Bobtail hill is the Bel
mont Chemung, operated by local pool
of Black Hawk business men, ex-Mayor
Phil Rohling being the business mana
ger. They have met with very good sue
cess this year, although handling at
times ore of very low grade. Despite
this fact they have kept up development
work right along. The easterly portion
of the mIne is equipped with stone
fire proof shaft building and an A No. /
hosting plant.

THE LOTIfS MINE.

Under the underground management
of Sylvapus S. Johnson this property,
owned by l.. Sternberger, has been de-
veloped to Il depth of 800 feet and levels
extended at intervals $500 feet in length,
connection with which has been made in
sinking 675 feet OF wines of this total
development work $40 feet has been
accomplished since the first OF January
of the present year. The ore from this
mine, formerly treated under stamps,
is now shipped to Idaho Springs for
concentration. The smelling ore is
going direct to the Boston Il Colorado
works at Argo. The average number of
men employed is seventeen. The con-
centrates, The OBSERVER is informed,
are OF very good quality.

CALUMET MINING COMPANY.

The output of this company which is
operating the Wautauga group of mines
on the point between Graham and Rus
sell gulches, has been an average Of 40
tons OF concentrates per day which has
been shipped to the concentration works
at Idaho Springs. The smelling ore
goes direct to the Boston a. Colorado
works at Argo, near Denver. The latter
ore carries large percentage of copper
which is most desirable ore for those
works, operating as they do on a copper
basis. During 1889 the shaft has been
sunk 100 feet, 200 feet of upraising to
connect levels, and 945 feet of levels ex-
tended. The company commenced ship
ping ore to the Idaho Springs plant in
April. The average number of men en-
ployed has been 30. Upon the return of
Mr.. James Clayton from Pennsylvania
new improvements will be made and a
new shaft sunk and other methods
brought to bear whereby the cost of min
ing and the treatment of ore will be
greatly lessened. The shaft building is
being heated by steam radiators, and a
great saving has already been made in
the matter of the cost of fuel. The
present depth of the shaft is $40 feet.
Mr.. J. b. Phillips has charge of the com
pany's interests and seems to be the
right man in the right place.

KANSAS-BURROUGH CONSOLIDATED
The development work on this prop
erty from December /, 1898, to Decem-
ber l, 1899, consisted in sinking the
main shaft on the Phoenix Burroughs
ITO feet, its present depth being 1l60
feet, and the sinking of winze ITO feet.
Levels in the Burroughs were extended
$50 feet. Levels on the Kansas vein
were extended $50 feet, the depth of the
Peasc Kansas shaft being 625 feet.
The total output of the property
was 10000 tons, including 5,OIS tons Of
stamp mill concentrates and 100 tons
of smelling ore.
The improvements added consist of a
new shaft house and plant of machinery
shaft on the same unwatered to a depth
of 100 feet. Ore is now being broken on
this property.
The shaft h ouse and machinery on the
English Kansas, which forms the east.
erly holding OF the company on that
vein has been overhauled and repaired,
the accumulated water in the old
workings is being taken out, the levels
are being put in order and ore being
broken. A 100-horse power boiler has
been added to the boiler capacity at the
PhGnix-Burroughs, and large coal store
houses added to the Phoenix. Burroughs
and Pease Kansas.
The property consists OF 1896 feet on
the Burroughs, Kansas and Monroe
veins on Quartz hill. Throughout the
period under review the average mum
Der OF men employed has been 140. The
officers OF the company are Richard
Sykes, president; II. A. Hoffman, vice
president and treasurer; Granville
Moore, secretary; p. Mccain, mine
manager.
With the additional property acquired
by the company on the Kansas vein,
which will be connected by levelage in u
short time, the company will still stand
first as the largest ore producer In Gil.
pin county. Whatever can be brought
to bear TO reduce the cost OF mining,
transporting and treating OF the ore is
strictly adhered to on the part OF the
mine manager. The company knew the
existing conditions which they had to
face in protltably mining low grade ore,
and following along the line OF economy,
they have demonstrated that n very low
grade ore can be mined and made
profitable by exercising the same care as
is brought to bear by the successful
man in every other branch OF business.

TOPEKA MINE COMPANY.

| Such is the name of the new company
that short time ago purchased the To
peka group of mines in Russell district,
from the Topeka Syndicate. They have
received Webster, Lane & Camp hoist
er, double engines OF 125 horse power ca
pacity. two air compressors OF eight drill
capacity, four 100 horse power boilers,
and Il 100 light electric dynamo with
which to light the building. The new
building is patterned after the Stanley
mine building in Clear Creek county, as
will also the hoisting plant. The build
ing is to be conveniently arranged for as
sorting the ore after reaching the sur.
face, a seperate room on the top floor to
be used for that purpose, and thence
conveyed by chutes to tramway cars
alongside the easterly portion of the
building. The shaft is being cleared for
a larger skip, the track for which will be
three feet wide and safety clutches will
be placed so as to avoid accident by the
breaking of the cable or otherwise. The
ore will be loaded direct from ore chutes.
The skip to be used will be much large
that the one heretofore in use. Before
sinking is resumed an electric hoist will
,, be placed in the shaft thereby avoiding
delays.
During the management of Mr.. Lowe
and up to the sale of the mine there had
been about 100 feet of development work
accomplished in 1899, by extending lev
els, making upraises and cross cutting
into the hanging wall and proving up
the continuity of the rich strike of ore
made by Mr.. Lowe. In the lower or 11th
level workings there is exposed crevice
of feet of pay matter.
The new manager Mr.. Il. E. L. Town,
send will be assisted by Sherman 7. Har.
ris, who was with Mr.. Lowe, and who has
had charge of the development work
right along.

QUARTZ HILL.

The California mine on Quartz hill,
which has been developed to the great.
est depth OF any mine in Gilpin county,
that OF 2,220 sect, met with disaster
some months ago, through which the
shaft building was destroyed by fire
and the Fraser & Chalmer hoistinp
apparatus rendered unfit for use. Mr..
A. l.. Collins, wha represents the Gold
Com Mines company, owning the Hid.
den Treasure and Indiana properties,
which forms the westerly portion OF the
vein, set men at work in clearing away
the debris and grading OIL for new,
larger and more convenient shaft house.
He secured large plant, double engines,
formerly in use at the White Ash coal
mine near Golden, loaded il onto cars at
the Colorado & Southern railroad,
shipped it to Black Hawk, and upon it's
arrival it was at once taken to the Cali.
fornia n ain shaft, where il is now being
put in place, as well as new shaft
house is in couroe OF erection. Prior 10
this the miners at the Hidden Treasure
shaft had sunk 200 feet, total depth OF
] 400 feet. In driving west the same ore
chute from which the company had
previously taken out such large sum
OF money was cut into. proving that the
ore was continuous and that with depth
not as had previously been predicted, IN,
vein would pinch out, upsetting the
vague rumors that deep mining would

under the management of William H
Nichols, although not on an extended
scale. From 10 to 20 stamps employed
and, although but two men working OF
pay, sufficient ore has been taken out ts

The value in the tjre is chiefly gold. will
silver, copper and lead values. Power
drills are used, the mine being with q
Lyner air compressor.
On the opposite side of the gulch the
the First Centennial, Star of the West
and Virginia have underwent develop.
ment work. The two first named are
operated by Mr. Stephens, of Denver.
South of this point the Vain. worked
at one time by the Masonic Gold Mining
company, after beng closed down, re-
sumed work by new company called
the Vain Cross. The new parties have
the mine unwatered ard have driven a
cross-cut and are getting the property in
shape for producing ore.
In the upper portion of the gulch the
old Tucker claim, one of the earlier
patents, was worked for some length of
time by h. Il. Curtis, as also Il group of
claims owned by Fred Frey. These
veins carry galenous ore, the lead values
being above the average percentage OF
that metal.
Considerable prospecting has been
done on the belt of veins on Nero hill
same belt as those last mentioned, but
no strikes have been made worthy OF
note.
Henry Becker, of the Union and Bo.
nanza Tunnel company, has kept de.
veiopment work going forward on the
Bonnell McCorkle and Kentucky veins,
all of which have been intersected by
the last named tunnel enterprise. Mr..
Mr.. Becker informs The OBSERVER that
the force of miners throughout the year,
was according to the nature of ground
ia which developments were made, but
the results obtained after treatment OF
the ore had proven highly satisfactory.
