The Iron Crown Mine.

W. II. Walp, superintendent of the
Iron Crown mine on Newsome creek, ar
rived out from the mine last night with
button of gold weighing f2,IIo, proceeds
of mill-run of no hours The run was
made under great disadvantages.
The Iron Crown mine is an immense
porphyry dyke 1900 feet wide, running
the full width of the two claims owned
by the company. Since Mr.. Walp took
charge last fall he has run 600 feet of
tunnel on the vein, being in ore all the
time and having absolutely no waste to
handle. From this long tunnel four
cross-cuts have been run east and west as
follows: first cross-cut So feet east and
so feet west; thirty feet south of these
another cross-cut was run 90 feet east
and 30 feet west all being in ore with no
signs of the enclosing walls in sight.
The untimely death of DR.. I.anterman
at Pueblo last winter has somewhat un-
settled matters, pending the adj
ministration of his estate, and con-
sequently Mr.. Walp has been correspond
ingly handicapped in operating the
property The administrator and
relatives of DIR. Lanterman are expected
here shortly to inspect the property, at
which time it is hoped to complete ar
rangements for the erection of stamp
mill equipment.
Another ledge, four feet wide, has
been found on the company's property,
and it is opened up to some extent by a
cross-cut running 40 feet northeast and
50 feet southwest. This, however, is a
side issue, as the Iron Crown alone can
keep the 6o-stamp battery running
| indefinitely
Mr.. Walp is very enthusiastic over the
outlook for the Iron Grown mine. He
has had I6 years experience in mining
in Colorado, Mexico and elsewhere. and
declares in the most positive terms that
in his judgment the Iron Crown has the
best showing for making great mining
property he has ever seen. He is largt
stakeholder in the corporation, and from
what we personally know of the cfaim
and the topography of the surrounding
country he has his plans well maturet
for economical handling and cheap re
duction of the vast quantity of ore nov
blocked out in the mine. His plans in
clude an ore bin of sufficient capacity I,
hold / 500 tons.
Adjoining the Iron Crown is tn

values very highly as having the maxim
