RUSSELL DISTRICT.

The Ayres- -Leavenworth Mining com
pany, which is strictly home incorpora
ton, during the past year have sunk the
Ayres shaft an additional 100 feet and
extended levels each way from the bot.
tonifcf the shaft now 100 feet deep.
In Leavenworth gulch Denver parties
the first part OF the year did considera-
BILE work on the Calhoun mine, but at
present the property is idle.
North of the Calhoun Mr.. Poulot, a
French mineralogist. took out uranium
ore from the Wood lode, but VI late no
work has been done.
The West Calhoun was worked by a
local pool until three months ago, but
has been idle since the expiration of
their lease. John II. Kemp, of Eldora,
is the representative of the owners of the
property.
Pennsylvania parties, known as the
Pennsylvania Central Gold Mining COM
pany, have been working to quite an ex
tent the Deaware lode in sinking the
shaft and extending the lower levels.
The ore is of galenous character, the
bulk of which is concentration propo-
sition. Tests of the ore have been made
during the year al the concentration
works in Idaho Springs.
Another property that is being worked
is the Prompt Pay, which in the early
days was known as the jefferson, and
from which near the surface good stamp
mill ore was taken out.

BANTA-HILL COMPANY.

This great property is now assuming
such shape that it will resume its former
output, and very likely increase it. Since
the company came into possession OF the
property new ore finds have been made
which with the effective plant OF ma.
chinery being placed on the Hill mine
will make it possible to largely multiply
the product Of the ore, and furnish salts
factory dividends to the stockholders.

THE CONCRETE,

Connection with the Golden Treasure
has been made with the West Concrete
property this year by sinking and uprais-
ing, and shaft No. on the Concrete is
now being sunk, the two shafts being
800 feet apart. A short time ago a
splendid body of mill dirt was opened in
development work. The outlook of the
Concrete for 1900 is very fattering.
With future developments already map
ped out the Concrete will shortly resume
its former position as an ore producer.

SUIT TO FORECLosE.

Ex- Mayor w. j. Barker of Denver has
commenced suit in the Arapahoe county
district court to foreclose upon the east
ern portion of the Whiting mine on
Gunnell hill this city, against Sam w.
Miller. An Indebtedness of $1,000 under
a $4,000 mortgage is alleged. An In
junction is applied for to restrain Miller
from working the mine.

which had been passed by when the
property was worked under other man.
agement. This portion of the Justice
vein is being looked after by Thomas A.
Irvine, OF Idaho Springs.
The Williams-that portion owned by
Kemp G. Cooper and Mrs. Weitbrec,
formerly known as the Gilpin County
Gold Mining company's property, has
been leased to home pool in which ex-
City Clerk and Treasurer Herricls
Mcleod is interested. The property is
under the management of Mr.. Pulham.
A large amount of dead work has been
done in relieving the mine of accumu-
lated water, securing and timbering up
scaley ground. A shipment of ore was
made to the concentration works at
Idaho Springs, which gave good returns,
considering the character of the ore.
The pool are still pulling water in order
to get into the lower or 700 foot work
ings.
The Clay County, leased and bonded
to Denver parties, and under the man
agement of Mr.. BalIantyne, of Denver,
has again resumed work. Owing to
foul air fan had to be secured, with
which to properly ventilate the mine,
which Is doing what is required of it
drift east and get under chute of ore
that paid well under former working of
the vein. This is known as the old
Smith & Chatfee property.
Northeast of the Clay County home
pool have done considerable work on the
Susan Mary claim. A shaft house and
plant of machinery was placed on the
main shaft AS to the values in the ore
no data could be obtained. William
Scholl, of the Sauer- McShane Mercan-
tile company, is one of the owners of the
property.
The Luckie Duckie, east of the Carr,
received development work by Denver
parties during the year, but at present
is idle.
Both the Washington and the Wash
ington Extension mines have been
worked, but no data is at hand.
The West Nottaway Mining company,
composed OF Chicago parties, are getting
that property in fine shape. Some time
ago they struck water course which
drove the miners out Of the lower work
ings. a steam station pump was secured
which it is claimed will handle the water
and permit the company to attain greater
depth. j. l. Perkins represents the
the company, who is also manager of the
San Juan and Quartz Hill.
The Carr mine, operated by home
pool, for the year 1899, with eleven men
employed, had an output of !, $50 tons of
ore which yielded S3l ,250. During that
period 400 feet of levels were driven and
$50 feet of wines sunk. The mine is
we'll equipped with fine hoisting plant
which is enclosed in good sized and
conveniently arranged shaft house.

GILPIN'S MINES
Increase Their Production
of the Yellow Metal
TO ALMOST S4,OOO,00O
And Have a Brighter Outlook
for the Coming Year.
REVIEW OF THE MINES.
What They Have Been Doing and
Their Future Prospects.

Once again are we pleased to record
that the old and reliable Golden Gilpin
has again made big stride forward in
its production, Notwithstanding the fact
that at the first OF the year that we had
three months of fearful weather, when
but few of the mines were working any
considerable force Following this was
the smelter strike, and for the greater
part of the remaining time the larger
properties have been doing dead work
and making surface improvements pre-
paratory to increasing their production.
The Cook, Topeka and Gold Coin COM
panies are making extensive improve
ments and the Gunnell Just commenced
large shipments in November. The out
look for the present year is most encour-
aging and no doubt but that there will
be large increase.
The bank shipments in gold amounted
to about s5sO,OOO.
We figure the production of Gilpin
county for 1899 to be at least S3,S00,O0O,
distributed as follows;

BOIBTAII HILL,

The principal producer of this section
throughout 1899 has been the Cook
Gold Mining company, AS to the
amount of development work in sinking
the shaft, driving of levels and the tol al
tonnage no statement could be obtained.
Suffice it to state that work in the vari-
GUS levels is still prosecuted and the
usual force of men employed. The mana
ger, Mr.. Colvin has several improve
ments under way whereby great saving
will be made in the transportation of the
ore mined TO the new heavyweight rapid
drop stamp mill that is now in course of
erection in Black Hawk, where the
stamp mill ore from the mine will be
treated.
Mr.. l.. II. Stockbridge, general mana
ger OF the Fiske Gold Mining company
very courteously furnished the following
statement OF the development work ac.
complished on that property since the
advent OF the year about closed: The
main shaft, now down 1,060 feet, hae
been sunk 200 feet; the tenth and elev.
enth levels have been opened and ex.
tended 1,400 feet; the output, for the
most part in doing development work
was I0,5S0 tons OF mill dirt and 730 tons
OF smelling ore. A drift has also been
driven west $40 feet from the south
cross cut Of the Gregory incline shat,
workings, through which the Fisk weir
will be drained % feet deeper than the
present depth OF the shaft. The stamt
mill ore carries average values Of $40 pei
ton and the smelling ore from 5I5 to slOt
per ton. Average number OF men en-
ployed, 30.
The Americus, adjoining the Fisk ant
on the same vein, worked under tn,
management OF l.. 8. Newell, Jr., ha,
been sunk 100 feet and a very gooe
crevice opened carrying stamp mill ane
smelling ore has been passed through

At the Sleepy Hollow, another portion

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the heights OF fame.
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
! sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
1 sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight OF the goal.
For tho hearts that break .n silence
With a sorrow all untnown;
For those who need compassion
Yet walk their ways alone.
There ere songs enough for the lovers.
WHO have loves tender pain.
sing for the one whose passion
Is given oil in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
lave missed them on the way.
sing with heart o'erfowing
This minor strain today.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep In spnca

Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect

That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.
