to Please.

The new Confidence mill at Elizabeth
town is doing good custom work, and
leasers are now opening up old claims
and making money.
The Senate-Bobtail group, belonging
to the Smithfield Mining and Milling
Company of Pittsburg is in the hands
of Manager e. T. Cossum, who has had
several years experience at Cripple
Creek with the Bankers Leasing Com
pany and other enterprises. He is put
ting up buildings for permanent work,
and has started a working shaft on the
Senate which will go to at least $50 feet
at once. At the same time development
is being continued on the Bobtain on a
4-foot vein, which carries good values.
A run of several tons is now at the
Confidence mill, awaiting treatment.
This ore has given returns on the plates
of an ounce to the ton. Messrs. A.. Il.
McIntire, w. p. McIntire, j. L.. Davis,
Dave Ammons and Frank Spur took
hold of this group less than a year ago,
and have done a good deal of hard work
to open it up-about 500 feet of develop
ment altogether.
The Black Copper is shipping twenty
five tons and the Memphis fifteen tons
to the Confidence mill.
The Tomboy, on the west slope of
Badly, is opened by a 5O-foot shaft on
the vein,. which pans coarse gold from
the top down. A tunnel is in 1856 feet.
William Peterborough Is developing
the President, in Sulphide camp, for
himself and Colonel Mathews, of Ration.
They have a tunnel in 23O feet.
The Abraham Lincoln extension is
opened by a tunnel $50 feet, with $50 feet
more to run to cut a 2-foot vein assay
ing from $22 to SAT. A shaft is sunk on
the vein IS feet. This property adjoins
the Bobtail, and has the same rich ore.
The Helen and the Jennings, two re-
cent location son Mosquito gulch, show
from 4 to 6 inches of Bounce ore.
Tom Pulliam has struck the vein on
his Rosita property, adjoining the AZ
tee. He has an 11-foot vein, between
quartzite and slate. The ore is the same
as in the Aztec workings, which have
produced over 81, 0O0, 900 in gold.
William Reel has struck a streak of
12-ounce ore in the Twenty-Five, on Ute
creek. This property lies on the east Of
the Montezuma, which has a record Of
$500, 900 in gold.

The Bedford lies on the ridge between
Bitter creek and Foreman's gulch. 1t
has a 4-foot vein, from which six mil
runs have been made, giving average
returns of $12.1 10. A. 9OO-foot tunnel will
open the ore body at a depth of 900 feet,
j. A. Wolcott has just finished a run
of seventy-five tons of ore from the
Golden Ajax with highly satisfactory
results. The Ajax has produced we'll in
the past, and bids fair to become again
a heavy producer under the manage
ment of Mr.. Wolcott, who is a practical
and experienced mining man.
The Confidence mill has made a rur
on a lot of ore from the Empire. The
plates show a nice margin, and the con.
centrates run $3.50 per ton. Men are al
ready at work to get out ore from this
property to ship continuously. There
are some good properties adjoining the
Empire.
The drift on the Sixty-eight is In 4
feet, and it is expected to cut the Lead
at any time. The Sixty-eight is one OF
the Confidence properties.
The Confidence mill has just finished
a test run on ore from the Denver, {
property belonging to Cleveland people
and the Welsh brothers.
