Bristol Work.


Bristol District will very shortly de-
termine much OF the immediate
future OF that mineral section. The
gasoline hoist Of Twelve horse power,
which is being erected over the
Gypsy shaft will be in operation this
week. Though the Gypsy is in the
very heart Of the best mineral out
crop there, and though much work
on the National, MayAower, Cave
and other claims thereabouts has
been done in years past, this will be
the first application Of power or
steam hoist.
The Gypsy operations are for the
purpose Of exploiting body OF ore
which was encountered in the shaft
years ago but which, through litiga-
ton, and the subsequent death of
one of the claimants, was never de-
veloped to any great extent.
Unless all signs fail a mine of
great value will speedily be opened
up there, for in addition to copper.
the silver and lead values were in
the past sufficiently high to justify
work, and while now the price Of
silver is lower, yet general working
expenses are proportionately reduc-
ed, 80 that the mine possesses as
great prospective value now as it
ever did in the past.
Whether present operations re-
suit in permanent or extensive work
or not, the developments of that sec
ton will not be delayed beyond the
the building OF the railroad, for
claims which can now, with condi-
tons "a TO transportation etc. gen.
orally against them, almost pay ex-
penses. will become steady produ,
GERS and dividend payers as soon as
facilities for shipment and cheap
reduction are afforded.
There are a number OF claims al
ready in that section in just thi'
condition. They exist in both Bris
toll and the Jack Rabbit Districts
for the mineral zone there extend
TO both sides OF the range and j
several miles in extent.
