among the claims there and some re.
markably rich ore has been uncovered
1t came too late to affect the county's
output for the year 1901. but will add
considerably to the sum total Of produc
ton for the next year.
At Magnolia some extensive and thor
ough work has been begun on the India
and Cumberland mines. Complete new
sets of compressors and boilers have

power boiler and eighty. horse power
hoist. besides erecting a fine new shalt

The district embracing Wall Street.
Salina. Sugar Loaf. Crisman and Gold
Hill has been possibly more active than
other camps during the fall. Chief
among its projects are the Nancy tunnel
to crosscut some Of the richest veins il
the county. The tunnel is already ir
about 1000 feet.
Paralleling this is the famous Wood
Mountain tunnel already in about I.6oe
feet. 1t is estimated to have developed
ore worth $1,000. 900. The Tambourin,
has installed complete new hoistinf
plant and has three compartment shalt
finished TO depth Of 300 feet. The
Cross is also just completing its new
plant.
The Railroad Boy has been completed,
out6tted this year and is now vel
equipped. The Forest also has beer
fitted With an entire new plant.
Wall Street mines have more than done
their share. and many OF the older mine.
there are paying handsomely. Soms
specimens from the Tambourine run
over twenty Eve ounces TO the ton. The
Lucky Star shipped one carload that re.
turned. 1904 ounces Of silver and IoS
ounces II gold.
The richest small find was in the ole
Melv;na. A sample OF Melvina ore pre-
sented to the bureau OF mines weighed
j1st Z pound and was valued at S7s-
,boa: Si5o COO to the ton. The Ingram,
s,illard, LaSt Chance and Richmond
niaes, Of ne same district. also sent in
ore that indicates Lac labulously 1icf
character Of some of Boulder county's
mines.

mouth OF the tunnel and will begin Soyk
the FIRST OF the year.
Some Of the richest strikes OF the year
we're made IN the mines that have here
tofore yielded but little profit. and many
leaser on an unheard Of property has
picked out a fortune where ii was least
expected. One OF the richest strikes OF
the year was made IN the Concord tunnel
near Salina and just west Of the wonder
.ul Melvina. At depth Of 800 Zee. =
pay streak Of free gold and ,ellurium
was found almost twenty inches wide. A
large portion Of this streak will run al.
most SO GOO a ton and makes this easily
the most valuable md Of the year.
Another exceptionally rich find vas
that Of the r, d Lion at Bloomerville in
the Ward district. In this property
while only fifty feet from the surface. a
sample lot OF the brown,sh dirt yielded
tI86 TO The ton. The width Of the s,real
has not been ascertained, nor is there
any sign Of foot or hanging wall. The
owners claim TO be locate in the crate
