NOTES.

east OF the Boston, is being worked by
a development company, with fattering
results.
The o. X, south of the Hamlet, some
months ago shipped quite an amount of
crude ore to the concentration works. 1t
was worked under the management Of
Forbes Ricliard.
The Huddestone mine on Winnebago
hill, owned by Richard Drew, sr., of this
city, has been worked by st. Louis par
ties to some extent during the year, and
shipments of ore made to the custom
mills in Black Hawk.
The Ridgewood Mining company own
iEg the Rialto, adjoining Turner hall in
this city, is idle, the water being kept
down. 1t is thought that tho company
will resume work. The same is the case
with the Rialto Extension on the west
which is owned by Cheyenne, Wyoming,
parties. Both properties are equipped
with hosting machinery.
Carbis & Co, on the U. p. r., during
the first seven months of the year shin
ped stamp mill ore to the Black Hawk
custom stamp mills. At prerent the
mine is idle. The hoisting plant will be
removed to the Modoc mine on Quartz
hill, where the same parties are now op-
Grating. The latter is the property of
W. c. Stevens of Black Hawk.
John Hooper, who represents the Gold
Collar Mining company, has sunk the
main shaft go feet this year, it being
100 feet deep. Other development work
has been executed during the year in
continuing and opening up the levels.
Ex-Secretary Of War Alger of Michigan
is interested in this company the prop
erty being situated on Prosser mountain
in this city, northeast OF the Concrete
mine. The ore is Of n very fair grade,
both stamp mill and smelling.
Otto Scheffier, a few months ago, was
instrumental in organizing pool, of
which he is member, to work the On
tonagon mine on German mountain, !,
owned by Mrs. ALI Hooking of this city
The pool had to clean out the bottom OF
the shaft and the levels after unwater-
ing tho workings, which required con-
siderable time. They are now taking
out ore which is treated under stamps
and by concentration, in order TO deter
mine which is the best treatment for the
ore, to receive the values contained in it.
On Bates hill, Mr.. Krocnkc, metallur.
gist of Denver, for the Metal company,
secured the Gettysburg and Topeka, the
same vein, but separate locations for
term of years. He has cleaned out the
adit and shaft on the latter and will con
tinue the drift on the Topeka up to and
under the Gettysburg east OF the Tope-
ka. The machinery on the Gettysburg
has been put in proper repair, and the
is now in condition to be sys.
worked. j. II. Hafer is as
sisting the manager in development.
The Peru mine, situated at the foot OF
Gunncll hill and north OF the Buckley
mine, was taken hold Of several months
ago by John Rabb, who has been deve-
oping it by sinking the main shaft and
driving Of levels. A small sized shaft
house encloses steam holster. black
smith shop, and leaving sufficient space
for cobbing the smelling iron taken
from the mine workings. The iron,
smelling, is OF n very fair grade, but no
high grade stamp mill ore has yet
been cut into. A small force Of miners
is employed.

The Concrete Gold Mining company
has sunk the No. =, or west shaft 1l5
feet, giving it a depth OF l,500 feet. The
hosting plant which is in the l,l25 foot
level, is run by air from the compressor.
During 1863, developments have been
made in drifting, cross cutting and max.
ing upraises. 4 NorwallS air compress.
or, lGxlG, and three Leyncr drills have
been installed. Twenty-Five men consti.

put being three Tramway cars Of mill
dirt - tons which is taken 20 tho
Penn or Iron City stamp mill in Black
Hawk. The ore gives fair returns. AS
new ground il opened up, the workin;
force will be Increase during the pres.
cnt year. Senator Sam V. Newell is the
Of the property, with George
G.. Bennetts AS underground superinten-
dent Tho property gives promise of
taking its former rank as II pro iucer of
gold bearing ore.
