1t is reported that the management
OF the Hercules mine. Mercur, has about
three cars of ore on the dump that
will pay well to ship to the shelters.
The property is said to be looking bet
ter than at any time in it's history. Sam
Pollock, who is conducting the eX-
ploratory work, is making an excellent
showing.
1t is reported that another Leadville
basin shaft has struck rich ore. This
time it is the Midas, leased by the Midas
Mining company, of which S. d. Nlcli-
olson Is the manager. AT 4S5 feet the
shaft slumped into body of iron, and
beneath this another body of lead ore,
very similar to that in the Penrose
about four blocks away. The shaft is
being sunk through the mineral to the
lime, in order to cut station in the
solid formation. This makes the ninth
shaft in ore in the Leadville basin,
within the city limits. The other eight
are all shipping.
About $4,000 worth of work is said
to have been done on the four claims
OF the iron Crown group, near Gran
gerville, Idaho. The vein is a great
blanket. apparently underlying every
| acre of the claims. for they have found
the lead every place they have sunk for
it, and in many places it is just under
| the grassroots, carrying the richest of
free milling ore. The ore is absolutely
free milling, and no indications of base
ness have been discovered. There is
not pound of concentrates at the mill.
Another big strike is reported from
the Fulford, says the Rocky Mountain
News. This is ON the Kittie B., owned
by W. H. Ennen of Glenwood Springs
The vein is the extension of the Lucy
vein. A shaft has been sunk on the
property and from the bottom of this a
cross-cut drift has opened up 14-foot
body of gold quartz, much of which
shows free gold in liberal quantities.
Zach Bunker, who was directing the
work on the claim, brought some of the
ore to Glenwood. Bunker also carried
specimens from another claim, the To-
cation of which he did not divulge. as
says from which showed returns of 40
ounces silver and So per cent copper
County Commissioner Love has put a
force of men on his Fulford property.
the Mountain View group, and will
work the claims all winter.
A report from Deadwood, S. D., says
that $4,000 worth of ore was taken
from the Grant, gold mine, southwest
of that city, recently in two hours
time. Assays made on the richest ore
went from $55,23O to s66,72O per ton.
This is the richest ore that has been
taken from the mine. The vein is grow
ing wider and the deeper workings
show the ore just as rich as at the
surface. Mr.. Grantz will leave for
Denver soon with a carload of the rich
est ore for treatment in smelter. He
will leave the mine in charge Of his
wife. Mr. Grant, estimates that he
has taken out 100000 worth of ore thus
far and there Is at least that much
more in sight.
Newton and Lewis Cowan, Frank
Lathrop and Bert Ferguson have leased
the Nellie BLY, mine, in Madison coun-
ty, and expect to begin active work in
few days. They moved up to the
claim Thursday morning. They expect
to drive in tunnel to tap the vein,
over 100 feet below the present work
| ing, in order to drain the mine. There
| is some very good ore in the shaft.
