NEWS AND NOTES.

NE EWS AND NoIES.
E. B. Curtis of the Washington Day
NINE, Lake district, is having a lot of ore
treated at the jackson mill in Idaho
Springs.
The Eldora Miner says that the chlori-
nation mill at that place is treating So
tons OF ore day with capacity of 10
tons, and is getting greater values than
was anticipated.
The new incorporation law enacted by
the last legislature became effective last
Saturday, July l. The secretary of state
will hereafter notify companies as their
life of the corporations expires.
Superintendent w. Il. Nichols of the
Robert Emmett mine has resumed sink.
ing in the main shaft, and will use power
drills. Present depth of shaft 400 feet.
The levels will be extended and back
STOPPING.
Under favorable circumstances stan. ps
with slow drop may be dropped ITO per
minute. There is danger at this speed
OF canning. that is the tappet striking
the cam. Ninety-tive drops is the aver
age speed OF stan ps in California mills.
The ore deposits at Leadville were for
merly supposed to have been formed at
a depth OF 10000 feet and exposed by
erosion. More recent developments seem
to upset that theory. No mining men
favor the idea that the limits Of mineral
ization have yet been found.
Last week j. H. Reilley of the Penn
sylvania Gold Mining Company, com
pleted cutting out stations at the 75O-
foot level. This week the miners are en-
gagged in extending levels both east and
west from that point in the main shaft.
In sinking the last $50 feet the vein mat
ter has greatly improved.
Work has been resumed on the Ma
tional mine on Quartz Hill which is
leased to Henry P. Lowe and Mr.. Gil
mour of Denver. John Smock is in
charge OF the underground workings.
Included in the lease is the Hecla vein,
which is owned by Hon. Willard Teller
of Denver, and Mr.. McKibbin of Neva-
daville. ~
Last week and this week teams have
been busy hauling ore from the Central
City mine in this city to Black Hawk for
the Ross Gold Mining Company, where
it is loaded onto cars of the Colorado &
Southern, and taken to the mill and con-
centration works of the Silver Age min
ing company below Idaho Springs.
A deed conveying to +. H. Potts, OF
New York, from the Bates Consolidated
Gold Mining company, the west one-half
OF the discovery claim on the Bates lode,
and claims No. and 2 west, was placed
on file for record with County Clerk and
Recorder j. s. Updegraff this week.
The property was formerly owned by
the old Union Gold Mining company, Of
which the late George X. Sabin was the
superintendent.
A friend in from Perigo informs The
OBSERVER that the rapid drop 30 stamp
mill has been closed down temporarily
until after the 4th OF July, in order to
give the mill and mine employees an op-
portunity to enjoy the festivities OF that
day. He alsu says that dance hall is
being erected. That with the two ga.
looms now doing business there will give
Perigo an appearance as lively as it was
back in the sixties when three stamp
mills were kept running.
