WINNIPEGOSiS LETTER.

The Philipsburg mail., 1899-07-14

The mines about Crystal, GunniSOn
county. are at last commencing to open
up. after the longest period of enforced
idleness in their history. The snow is
nearly all gone, and prospectors are out
on the hills.
In the Forest Hill group Of mines, at
Pitkin, Gllnnison county. there has been
opened big body Of low grade ore and
the owners have purchased the machln-
cry for a concentrating mill, to be
erected this season.
A consignment amounting to ten tons
has within the past few days been
marketed from the Last Dollar mine,
at Cripple Creek. which will, it is esti-
mated. give returns of 100 ounces to
the ton. or a gross value Of $4,000 for
the entire shipment.
The Tom Boy Gold Mines Company
operating near Telluride. san Miguel
county. has declared a dividend of $50,
600. payable June 10th. This sum
represents the months Of April and
May this year. and restores tile old
1896 distribution of $4,000 per month
or n per cent yearly upon the capital
stock of $2,0OO,00O.
The North American Gold Dredging
Company. operating placer ground on
Swan river Summit county. has receiv-
ed eighteen carloads of machinery for
the construction of more dredges. Two
new dredges are to be erected and SeV-
eral additional hydraulic elevators in
stalled. The two dredgeS used last
year are already at work and the COM
pany will make big record this sea-
son.
Mining activity at Alma is gradu-
ally increasing, despite the backward
ness of the season. The snow in the
mountains has been melting very slow
ly and the water head has not vet he
come strong enough to enable the ri'"-
ers to run with full force. but the I'D
vancing season is expected to soon
remedy this. and then the hydraulics
will make the gravel fly in earnest.
The failure of the snow to go off rap
idly has also seriously retarded lode
mining. many Of the higher mines be-
ing yet unable to ship ore that has been
accommodating in their bins and on the
dumps throughout the winter.
Notices have been posted at the shaft
houses on the Penn mine. Leadville.
for the benefit of the miners there. Civ

1t will be seen by this list that many
small producers are not referred to.
there being no figures available. The
Iron-Silver lease is taking out iron.
probably over fifty tons day. The
Ballard and Penn are shippers. The
Waldorf is mining in Il small tonnage.
The GunniSOn at Sugar Loaf is pro-
ducer. and the Miliado is taking out
considerable ore. This list. therefore,
rather understates the actual output.
but it is based on IA siX-day production.
while the 5000 tons per day is for the
full week of seven days.
Taking the statement commonly ac-
cepted rs correct. that the average val
ne of Lcadville district ores is SIG per
ton. it will be seen that the camp is
adding &.t2.GOO to the wealth of the
world every day. If this rate contin-
ues for the year it means Il %lO,0OO,00O
output for 1S99. allowing for all the set
backs of the past few months.

LEADVILLE FORGING
TO THE FRONT.

Leadville's daily output has reached
the unprecedented figure of 1000 tons
per day. says the Herald Democrat.
This is the marvellous record as
shown by figures obtained from smell
ters and railroads. and verified by the
statements of mine managers as to
their daily production.
About three weeks ago the Herald
Democrat estimated the output at L.
2s') tons, but this was at a time when
the gold-belt producers had not gotten
| into line. owing to the bad conditions
| of the road. Some of the Silver-leau
| producers have also been steadily iE-
creasing their tonnage.
1t should be stated that the 1000
| tons is for seven days in the week.
hence the monthly production can be
| placed at GOOOO tons. AS Il matter of
| fact during six days of the week be-
tween 1000 and 2.30O tons of ore OF all
classes are being moved from the
mines. hut allowing for Sundays. when
but little ore is moved. the output is as
stated above 1t is divided about equal

the railroads. although there have been
many days during the past month
when the railroads have hauled as high
as loo tons to the valley.
The Herad-DemOcrat further says:

A STRIKE AT WARD,
Manager Daniels Makes Peculiar Propo-

Manager Daniels Makes a Peculiar Propo-
sition to His Men.
The first strike due to the new
eight-hour law is reported from Ward.
The manager Of the Big Five mines
has posted an order giving notice that
beginning June /. 1889. the following
scale of wages would prevail: Tram
merS. muckers and machine helpers.
30 cents an hour: hand drill miners, 30
cents an hour: machine drill miners,
40 cents an hour. Eight hours to con-
stitute Il days work.
The former scale of wages. ON n ten
hour day basis. was $3.50 So and
$500 respectively for the classes as
enumerated above. While it will be
noticed that the wage scale now Of
fered grants a raise of ; cents per hour
over that paid under the hour
SYSTEM yet Il reduction is suffered by
the men in their daily wages of 10. 20
and 30 cents respectively per shift.
Notice was further given by the COM
pany that the above scale would be in
force for the month Of June only. and
that if the men did as much work in
the short-hour day as they had form
erly done in ten hours time, the old
schedule of wages would be paid for
the short hour shift. but in case there
was no more work accomplished per
hour under the new schedule than I'M
der the old one the rate paid would
revert to the old scale viz, -. 80 and
81 cents per hour.
On Thursday morning the miners as
sembled as usual and on being in
formed by Foreman Duncan that the
notice was the ultimatum of the COM
pany. all the men (eXcepting two)
whom it effected-forty in number
refused the terms offered and quit
their jobs.

OUTPUT OF THE INDEPENDENCE

Owners Unable to Keep 1t Down to $15O,-
900 per Month.
The first months work on the Inde-
pendence mine of Cripple Creek dis
trict. under the management of the
Venture corporation of London, has
resulted in the production of a profit
of $4,000.
The total output for May amounted
to $3.50 tons. yielding a gross value of
S247 600. an average of Il little less
than $S3 per ton. The total cost of
production. including $1,000 spent in
the construction of ore bins, ETC., was
$4,000.
This result is somewhat of a surprise
even to the managers of the property.
When work was commenced inSt1uc-
tOns were given to keep the production
down. if possible, so that profit of
not more than S150.000 per month
should be secured. as it was thought
best to make no heavier production
than could be steadily maintained. but
the production. in spite of the utmost
care on the part of the manager, has
outstripped his intentions. Several
shipments of May ore are yet to be
settled for. so that it is thought the
total profit will not be far from 5000
NW.
The operation of the mine during tn"
month has developed some interestin"
features. When Mr.. Richard made his
first examination of the property. in
one portion of the upper workings
which had not then been thoroughly
opened. he estimated fifty feet of AZ
ore body. On May 18th. after the prop
erty had been taken by the Venture
corporation. he found that this ground
had been opened and fully 100 feet %
