CONNECTION MADE WITH TIL
BUGHER LODE

John Grant, of the Alpha Gold and

connection with the Bugher lode through
the 500.foot east level Of the Galena
mine The Bugher shaft is near the
summit of Central City hill and is the
same vein as the Galena, both of which
form two of the group owned by that
mining company. Ore of good grade,
stamp mill and smelling, has been
opened up.

AN ANTITRUST SHELTER.

Tuesdays Evening Times claims, on
reliable information it has received, that
a movement is on foot by Gilpin and
Clear Creek county mining men who re-
Gently held meeting behind closed
doors, at which it was decided that the
most feasible solution of many problems
that have arisen in connection with the
marketing OF ore, is the erection OF an
independent smelter at some point near
Denver.
1t is said that number Of the lead.
ing mines of the two counties interested
are to take an interest in the project,
and that the company will make an
effort to devise plan for the more
economical transportation of the ores to
the smelter. Nothing but low grade
ores are to be treated, and it is said that,
with sufficiently low rates of freight, not
less than LOCO tons per day can be fur
nished. The plant will cost s350,OOO.
The details Of the scheme are now being
prepared and will be completed in few
days, when further information will be
given.

ANOTHER BIG BORE.


The United St't tunnel projected
to run from Clear Creek county to tap
the mines Of Gilpin county at depth is
likely to be vigorously pushed in short
time, says Sundays Denver Times.
Phillip Mixsell, who is the original pro-
jector Of the tunnel, was in Denver
Saturday, and stated that there is a
reasonable guarantee that enough money
will be secured from Partisan capitalists
to push the tunnel through. The Times
claims that it is the shortest tunnel to
reach the great Quartz hill gold belt,
which is it's objective point. The com
pany commenced work several years ago
and have driven the enterprise about
1000 feet. The breaking out OF the
Spanish war in 1898 compelled the COM
pany to cease work, as negotiations then
pending for the enlistment Of capital fell
through.
A short time ago MIR. Mixsel pur-
chased the Camp Grove mine on Quartz
hill, Nevada district, for the company
He has the shaft $50 feet in deptq, un.
watered, and is now extending level at
that depth. He will soon commence
sinking. He anticipates having the
shaft down to the tunnel level by the
time tho later is driven to the Camp
Grove vein.

the rate of 300 feet per minute, will con
vey ore from the mine to the mill, their
capacity between fifty and sixty tons
every twenty-four hours, at cost OF
from five to six cents per ton. The work
will be done in the construction of the
tramway by local men, says Manager
Hoskin, under the supervision of repre-
sentative of A. Lashen & Sons Rope COM
pany, OF st. Louis, Mo. The tramway
will easily keep the company's- mill en-
ployed as it is 50-stamp slow drop mill
with capacity of 80 tons every "a hours.
CONNECTIONS ABOUT MADE.
Manager Daniel MacMasters, of the
Grand Central Gold Mining company's
East Whiting mine, expects to make
connections with the shaft west of the
main shaft on the property by Saturday
next by means of an upraise from the
upper west level for air. Last Tuesday
an upraise was made from the
250-foot east level with the 200-foot east
level, where there is a shaft from sur
face, thus giving splendid air circuit.
He will soon have splendid circulation
of air throughout the entire property.
The developments to the west are show
ing up splendidly, as well as in other
portions of the property, denoting that it
will not be long before similar large
gold retort taken out Of the West Whit
ing at the time the late John Kimber
was working the westerly portion of the
Whiting vein. The ore is there.

STAMP MILL ORE FROM NEW MEXICO
There was received last Saturday at
the Hidden Treasure mill in Black
Hawk three Colorado & Southern rail
road cars loaded with stamp mill ore
from a gold mine in New Mexico for
treatment at that mill. There were six
cords of the ore, or about so tons. A
portion of the mill has been treating it
