COST OF srOpING ORE

A Colorado miner furnishes a tabu-
lated "method for calculating the cost
per ton for stoping ore" taking as basis
the thickness of the pay streak at the
point considered. He figures that,
where the pay streak is four inches
thick, the cost of stopping is sl7.33;
where six inches thick, s11.SO; eight
inches, 1857; ten inches, s6.93; twelve
inches, 1913; fourteen inches, S4.95. 1t
would seem difficult matter to prepare
a table which would fully show the ap-
proximate cost of stoping which would
have general application, for the reason
that the rocks enclosing the vein may
be hard or soft, or may have a slaty or
quicksand structure, and many other
conditions, always differing may obtain
which have an important bearing on the
subject. A vein which breaks freely
from the walls can be more cheapy
mined than one Of the same size which
is frozen" or cleayes TO the wall. A soft
granulated vein can be more cheapy
mined than one Of the same size that is
hard when the country rock in such case
is the same. In the former case in small
veins the miner removes the vein and
then shoots down the wall, while in the
latter the vein is usually stripped and
shot or gadded down, where the country
rock has been removed. In this matter,
as in almost all others connected with
mining, congratulations are not possible.
While it may apply almost universally in
one locality, it will not answer in an
other.

SHIPMENT OF RICH ORE.

Mr.. Henry P. Lowe, general manager
of the Topeka mine, Russell district, this
week shipped twenty-five tons of first
class ore foom that property which was
consigned to the Globe Smelling and Re-
filming company, at Denver, for treat
ment. Phenominally rich returns should
be received from the ore, as it was taken
from the rich pocket above the sOO-foot
west level, which has been opened up for
$50 feet in length and 215 feet in depth.
Every piece OF ore in the entire ship
ment showed quantities OF free gold.
The car doors containing the ore were
sealed and doubly locked. A guard ac-
companied the car to its destination.

Big Strike in the Old Stonewall-Other

Special Correspondence.
YANKEE, CoLo., April 3, 1885,
The old Stonewall mine to-day en-.
courtered a two,foot bo1y of ore, con-
posed of fine grained galena and copper
iron and white spar quartz. Tests made
this afternoon at the 81 sampler showed
values of sS3 per ton in gold and carry
ing six ounces of silver. This property
has been steady producer for the past
four years, but now bids fair to be
counted among the first-class shippers
of Clear Creek county. 1t was located
four years ago by Messrs. Titus and
Steele, but has since changed hands and
has found its way into the possession OF
Denver and eastern capitalists. Mr.. A.
II. Hughes, o. Denver, manager OF the
company, arrived in camp this evening
On being told Of the rich strike he said;
Il know it would only be a question OF
time" Work on the property is being
pushed with all haste.
Another good strike has been made on
the Enterprise mine, owned and operated
by Mr.. George Ebert. He struck good
twelve inch body of pyrites and copper
iron ore giving mill returns OF $50 per
ton in gold.
The Puritan mine, situated on the
north slope OF Chesapeake mountain,
owned and operated by Cow Bros, who
have shaft so feet deep aud are in
good ore. Down some 200 feet on the
mountain north they have commenced a
tunnel which is now in 1c0 feet. There
they have like body Of ore, only larger.
From the breast of the tunnel they sunk
. winze twenty-five feet deep, giving
them n depth OF eighty-ilve feet, where
they encountered n sixteen inch body OF
ore comprised of pyrites OF iron, copper
intermingled with white spar quartz.
This entire streak Of ore runs, Mt the
laho Springs samplers, thirteen ounces
of gold TO the ton, not rs mere assay,
but as commercial tests in five toa lots
In connection with this property they
have several more OF like character,
namely: The Vigilant, Americus and
Chamberlain.
The Salamander lode, situated on the
southern slope OF Gold hill and adjoining
the old Stonewall mine. This property
is owned by Melville Bros, who have a
shaft on the same 175 feet deep, and are
in good pay ore. The streak is eighteen
inches wide, netting them SIS per ton at
the smelters in Denver. Levels have
been run 30 and 100 feet, showing up a
like body of ore as is found in the bottom
OF the shaft.
But still, as the saying goes, there
isn't much OF anything in Yankee, al
though anyone doubling this statement
can take the daily stage for Yankee hill
and they will be shown, free Of charge
and tho report substantisted.
