the company will tram through the Bob
tail tunnel enterprise to their new so
stamp rapid drop mill in Black Hawk.
According to the survey made by COM
petent mining engineer there remains
about 300 feet yet to be driven. Work
is progressing as rapidly as it can be ac-
complished by means of power drills,
which are used, the compressed air for
the drills being furnished from air com
pressors on the mill site of the company
in Black Hawk.
Forbes Rickard, for Mr. Sullivan the
New York owner of the o. X. mine on
German mountain, has secured the main
shaft down to depth of 42O feet. He
has commenced shipping crude ore to
Idaho Springs for concentration, as
better results are obtained by this mode
of treatment than by treatment under
stamps.
Manager Eastman, of the O'Neill
mine, received at the rate of ounces of
gold per cord for the ore treated recently
at the Randolph stamp mill in Black
Hawk. The Ontario Gold Mining com.
pany, owning and operating the mine, To-
Gated on Gregory mountain, will install
Il larger sized hoisting plant, which is
the one thing needed if they continue
deeper development work.
If nothing intervenes the shaft build
ing and machinery on the California
mine, on Quartz mill, will be in readiness
for operation by the first of the coming
month, at which time the work of un-
watering the property will be COM
menced. The company now have $50
horse power engine capacity, the largest
plant in northern Colorado. When this
property is unwatered to its present
depth, 2,220 feet, and force of miners
put to work it will prove a godsend to
the business men and boarding houses of
Nevadaville.
While in Russell Gulch the first of the
week the mining reporter of The On
SERVER was shown several fine pieces
of ore taken from the ore bodies
recently opened up in the Garden mine,
Idaho district. In cross-cutting into the
hanging wall streak of mineral was cut
into giving assay values of 51cO per ton
The output of ore is now about 20 tons
per day, which will be increased as new
ground is opened up through the de-
velopment work now being made.
John Stasney, former Centralite
now leasing on the Moon mine, head of
ellison gulch. is shipping 4 fine quality
of smelling ore from that property.
Mr.. Ballantyne, of the Puzzle and
Peterson mines on Bobtaii hill, will
hereafter ship his second quality of ore
from those veins to Idaho Springs for
concentration, so he informs The Oh
SERVER.
y deed from II. p. Waterman, of Den
yer, to the Kansas Burroughs Consoli-
dated Mining company, conveying 80
feet on the Kansas mine to that com.
pany was placed on file for record with
the county clerk and recorder yester-
day.
The Burlington railroad has at last
had one of its fondest desires realized.
Commencing February % the time for
transcontinental travel by Salt Lake City
and Denver will be materially reduced.
On the same date the Southern Pacific
the Rio Grande lines and the Burlington
Route will establish through sleeping
car service between San Francisco and
Chicago In consequence the Buring-
toms service between Denver and Chi
cago will be radically changed. The
Chicago Special, which now leaves Den
yer in the afternoon, will become morn
ing train, reaching Omaha at midnight
and Chicago early the next afternoon.
Quality Is the Relish.
