tie coming year and the Lower Nam
moth soon added to the list OF bread
earneN Of the Tlntic district, Work at
the
MAMMOTH MINE,
From the top Of the shaft at this Old
bonanza down TO the 1900 foot level has
Deen one continuous ore body. ITS won
deftul record IN known to the people
Of two continents aud scores of people
holding its stock have been made
wealthy Notwithstanding the fact
that shipments have been somewhat
curtaled this year on account Of legal
difficulties existing between this COM
pany and It's neighbor, the Grand Gem
trail, ore TO the amount Of /. 400 tons
has been sent out to say nothing Of the
thousands Of tons which have been
treated IN the c0mpany's mill az Rob
inson. The main working shaft has
penetrated mother earth 1000 feet and
the ore discovered above extends TO this
depth New strikes are continually be.
Ing made and In many Of the old worl,-
ing leasers are engaged In 'gODhoring'
out what ore remains This class Of
work IL going ~ In TIE abandoned pnr.
Mammoth Is very hazardous IN various
ways. However the Mammoth mining
company Ia I'm no way responsible for
accidents to leasers ana no matter how
dangerous the work men willing 10 take
the chances can be found IN mining
camps, As soon as the suit now pend
ing between this company ana the
Grand Central Is settled the mine win
no doubt extract ore In much larger
quantities.
BLACK JACK
Is going steadily on and the shaft Is
being put down IN the hopes of tapping
the ore bodies which have made the
mines Of Mammoth Hollow famous.
The machinery Is the best ana taken
as a whole the mine Is splendldly
equipped for work.
GRAND CENTRAL.
Work IN this mine during the past
year, and IN fact since the trouble with
the Mammoth company Legan. has been
confined mainly to the northern work.
Ing. Drifts have been extended In this
direction on the zoo. 500, 500 and LOO
levels These drifts are running into
the King william ground, which was
purchased recently from c, II. Blan-
chard The shipments Of ore from this
mine have not been as heavy this year
as last owing 70 the difficulty existing
between this company and the NAM
moth No dividends have been declared
since November 1900, and what money
has been netted on the ore shipped now
remains in the company's exchequer,
and II Is not likely that a distribution
VIII be made 20 the shareholders until
SITTER The present entangements have
been Strengthened out in the courts. As
soon as thls case. which Is costing both
companies O fortune, is adjusted the
Grand Central win take It's old position
among the foremost dividend payers
The long haul, by team, from the mine
10 the railroad tracks at Robinson
proves Il very expensive Item I'm the cost
OF transporting ore, but as the ores
taken from the Grand Central are OF
very high grade they could be mined
IN the face Of almost any difficulty.
There is a possibility OF the tracks or
the new East Tintlc railway being ex-
tended to this mine, and this would be
a greet benefit IN marketing the mines
immense output, Two new boilers Of
1873 horsepower each have just been put
in at the hosting works and these with
the two now In use brings the total
capacity Of the boilers up to 500 horse
power The Grand Central Mining COM
many has the largest and most substan-
tial hosting plant In the entire district,
and there are but few more costly
plants m the state. It Is constructed
entirely Of steel and Is absolutely fire
proof.
