NINE IMPROVEMENTS.

The Belgium parties who purchased
the Carr mine, in Lake district, have,
through their manager, Stephen Hoskin,
purchased a new S0-horse power double
engine friction holster, which will be
placed on the main shaft. The hoistng
sheave will be raised, as also the roof Of
the shaft house. The latter will be en-.
larged. The shaft is to be retimbered
from top to bottom and sunk 500 feet
deeper, its present depth being $50 fect.
From the manner in which the pur-
chasers are starting in it is evident that
they mean business.

NEWS AND NOTES.

A discovery OF mineral on each twenty
acres OF placer location serves to ex-
empt the whole location from school in.
demnity selection.
California stamps are made as heavy
as | 400 pounds. At the Baden mine
near Oroville, California, forty stamps
each weighing 1000 pounds, dropped
100 times minute, each crushing Az
tons Of quartz ore every "a hours.
A survey has been made and grade es.
tablished for a siding back from the
main track OF the Gilpin Tramway com
pany to the Old Town mine in Graham
gulch, Russell district. Hereafter the
output Of that property will be shipped
to the concentration works over that
roadbed.
Golden Globe: Coors and Koch have
let tho contract for another 100 feet OF
tunnel work in their Mount Lookout
tunnel property. They already have 2l5
feet OF tunnel. A new vein has been
found which is perhaps 20 inches wide,
and it carries good values in copper and
some gold. We hope that the enter
prising owners OF this property will
eventually strike it rich. A good find
close to this town would be rare good
thing for us.
The total dividends paid by American
mining companies in August amounted
to s3,066, ,lS4, and for the seven months
ending August 81, 1900, to s27 1880.

A POINTER.

General Frank Hall, mining editor OF
the Denver Evening Post, in an article
published in last Mondays issue of that
journal on Concentrating Mills of Idaho
Springs" says that about two-thirds OF
their present supply of ore comes from
Gilpin county, partly by wagon over the
hills and down Virginia canon, but the
majority by rail via Forks Creek. He
visited the mill OF Mr.. Roberts, who said
to the general in reply to the question
Of ore supply: "There is no difficulty in
that direction. l always have more than
can handle. Where does it come
from? Well, largely from the mines
whose dumps you see up there on the
mountain sides, but good deal comes
from Gilpin county" All Of which con-
firms the opinion OF The OBSERVER that
il a plant were erected at some point on
North Clear creek the shipment of crude
ore to Idaho Springs for concentration
would not be near as large as at present
Such works to prove successful should
be up to date and provided with the
latest improved methods for concentra-
ton. There is plenty Of capital laying
idle that could be enlisted to invest in
such plant il the proper parties would
take hold of the matter.

SALE OF THE GALENA GROUP.

length of time the property has been
paying under the management of Mr..
Frank kengei, who will be retained by
Mr.. Grant as manager. The new owner
will open up the veins on more ex
tended scale than ever before, thereby
increasing the daily output of ore. The
mine is provided with hoisting plant
that is capable of working and handling
the output to a depth of l 400 feet.

SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY OF TUNG
STEM ORE.


Last Thursdays Boulder Representa-
tive states that Sam Conger, discoverer
of the old Caribou mine, has discovered
tungsten ore at Sherwood gulch, near
Nederland, Boulder county. Conger
claims that the discovery was made by
him and his partner, Mr. Wannamaker,
number of years ago. 1t was thought
at that time to be magnetic iron. Since
then Conger became convinced of his
error, and after meandering around
among other mining camps in California
and elsewhere he returned and COM
menced development work upon his for
mer find. Tests made OF the ore gave
respectively 1915 and 1885 per ton. The
ore is in bodies from six to fifteen inches
in width. Other locations have been
made, fifteen in all. A Mr.. Pettebone
has one on the north side of Nederland
that will run 5000 per ton, while George
Light and others have made some good
locations on the south side. The Repre-
sentative adds that it learns that plati-
mum has also been found recently at
Nederland. All of which is good news
il true.

GILpIN RENEws ITS YOUTH.

Saturdays Denver Depublican says
that in Gilpin county improvements have
been made of the most decided charac-
ter. This steady producer for more
than 40 years has never been SO active as
at present. Scarcely week passes
during which one or more of the older
mines, idle for years, is not put into
commission. The roar OF the stamps
has never ceased since the first mill was
erected, and at least two new mills OF
large capacity have been added during
the year. All OF the deeper mines still
in production have increased their out
put, and there is a general disposition to
sink on the inexhaustible fissures OF
this reliable district. Several large
combinations have been formed which
insures larger production at lessened
cost, and the future OF the county was
never better.
