Robinson, Sept. 6.-L. L. Num-, pres
ident of the Telluride Transmission
company, is here in company with
Lafayette Holbrook, manager of the
/ Grand Central mine, and this morning
/ is making a close examination of the
premises, with a view of approximate
! ing the cost and feasibility of supplying
4 the mine with electric power. The Tel
luride Transmission company has just
completed the circuit from Provo to
Mercur. Mercur to Eureka and Eureka
to Provo, and is prepared to furnish
power and lighting capacity to any of
the big mining propositions in the dis
trict. Manager Holbrook regards the
consummation of contract as certain.
Eben Smith of Colorado, associated
in many projects with David H. Moi
fat, is here in company with Henry e.
Cary, examining the Carisa, one of Mr..
Smiths latest acquisitions. Superin-
tendent Underwood met the gentlemen
and had them conveyed to the Carisa,
where they made an exhaustive exam
ination and decided. upon the course
and method of wol ( after the compile
ton Of the contract now being done
by Messrs. Bonney & Davis, which will
carry them to the $50 level. From that
point they have decided to drift both
ways on the vein, particularly north,
which will take them under the old
workings of the tunnel site connecting
with the Northern Spy, where great
bodies of rich shipping ore were en-
countered years ago. Greater hosting
power will supplant the present gaso-
line equipment and the fall campaign
at the Carisa will be one of unusual
activity.
NJ. L. Oglesby. superintendent of the
Emerald, reports the Burleighs to be
working with great satisfaction. At
present they are being used on the 500
level, where the quartz showing seems
to look decidedly like making ore, and
the Roadway accomplished is most
gratifying.
George S. Hayes, contractor, who is
performing the work on the Lulah
Consolidated Mining company's prop
erty, reports that prosecuting has been
commenced from the 200 level Drifting
will be done in a northeasterly direc-
ton with view of encountering the
Joe Bowers vein. The Lulah's holdings,
comprising four claims, are located be-
tween the Blue Bird and the Midnight
Bowers, and join both the Showers Con-
solidated and the Joe Bowers on the
west. Many practical mining men who
assume to be familiar with the geolog-
ical conditions surrounding the Lulah.
maintain that the Bowers vein swings
to the east and traverses the Lulah
ground.
A. L. Toll, general manager for
Messrs. Loose, Hatfield and Ritter of the
Ell Rey and Silver Park groups of
mines, is busily engaged in completing a
very pretty company cottage in Silver
City. The house will be modern in all
appointments, with bath, toilet and
mirrored mantels with thing. 1t will
contain seven rooms, three of which
will be set apart for the comfort. and
convenience of visiting officers of the
company, and the remainder will be
used by Mr. and Mrs. Toll. In its half
completed state it gives promise of be- |
ing one of the most attractive and con- !
arranged houses in all Tin |
tic.

underground working plans, as origin
ally designed by Mr.. Lawrence, have
been abandoned, and more advantag-
eous ones employed. The chief aim win |
be to connect all the old workings. so
that the ore will be handled as few
times as possible from the time it is
cut until it is in transit Mr.. Law
