THE FORTUNE.
Under the management Of Elmer Hi
@ -.5 feet of work has been done at
he Fortune mine during The past year
THE rrouerty has been developed By
four tunuaIs.ol which the FIRST or lowest
tunnels OF which the first or lowest
tunnel is the largest, The second tun'
mel iu point OF depth has been CON
uec,ed with the lowest by an upraise.
Drifting has been pushed In the third
tunnel towards a body OF nigh grace
copper ore exposed in the lower tunnel
Some good ore Is now being found but
the main chute IS thought to be co feet
away. Some good lead ore IS also being
stoped from the Keystone and Conten-
ton tunnels.
The company has shipped about 400
tons OF crude ore during the past year
In the same period 2.l4l tons OF concen-
trates have been marketed from the new
mill. recently completed at a cost Of a
little over $4,000. II has a daily capac-
itv of about 100 tons, although It's ca
pacity has been slightly hampered be-
cause the company has not an abund-
auce OF water. Some trouble has also
been experienced with the electric pow
or. but In spite OF these difficulties the
above tonnage was run through since
the LIST of July when the mill began
lbs initial run. The mill Is fitted with
a Gates crusher, two rolls. four three
compartment jigs graded, one Frue
vanner and two Whitley tables. Only
lead ores are being worked at present,
though a fairly successful run was
made IN october on some Of the copper
ores Of the mine.
The concentrates run from 1i5 10
info and contain 20 to so per cent lead
and g .O ~ ounces silver per ton. The
crude ore carries 90 20 SO per cent lead
with some gold and silver, The copper
ores of the mine have been drawn upon
slightly during the year and the values
run between 10 and 10 per cent with 20
20 30 ounces silver and 81 10 SLIGO IN
gold per ton I'm carload lots. About
thirty men are employed at the mine
and mill. The labors OF the past year
have been very satisfactory and that
The Fortune win make a fine record
for itself next year there can be no
doubt
THE BOSTON CONSOLIDATED.
Under the direction OF Robert J. Cole
man the Boston Consolidated has pur-
sued a very extensive system Of eX-
pertinent with ifs ores during the past
season. The results are pronounced
quite gratifying by the management
which Is in no hurry 20 attempt the eX-
traction OF the values from It's ores
until Il has decided upon the most
economical method
The company owns about fifty claims
or about $50 acres Of mineral land in
the "Old Reliable Camp As IS quite
well understood. this territory will pro-
duCe two entirely different classes OF
ore. About one-fourth OF the ground
contains a vast amount OF porphyry,
similar 20 the great De Lamar Wall
group, which viii be found 20 carry
pay values In copper when the right
method Of concentration Is decided up
on. Under the direction Of Mr.. J. NJ.
Callow, the company's engineer, num-
Der Of elaborate tests have been made
on this class Of ore during the past
year. a labora tory plant has been con-
structed and many months have been
devoted to the working out OF details
preparatory 20 designing a big mill TO
handle these ores.
The company also owns a large area
Of territory which is intersected by
limestone belts In which are found
large bodies OF smelling ore similar 10
