NOTES.

Byron s. Lake is extending levels in
his Barnes mine, but of late has not been
sending any ore away.
The Woodbury. Gold Mining company
opment work on the Herbert group OF
veins.
The Climax mine, west of the Mackay-
Burroughs, which has been id,e, will re-
ceivo farther exploitations by company
the first of the coming month.
The Mackay- Burroughs is still under
going development by the local pool
formed some two years ago. Al Christie
pher is in charge of the mine.
The Fourth OF July was also worked
and considerable dead work in develop
ment accomplished. 1t is now connect
ed with the Gilpin Tramway line.
During the past year the Pacahontas
has been worked, new shaft buildings
put up and the plant in use at the East
Topeka shaft installed. At present the
mine is idle.
The Scanda mine, owned by an east
ern party, is working under the manage
ment Of Michael Wisebeck. The shaft is
down 70) feet, and some fine looking ore
is bsng raised TO surface.
On the summit Of Quartz hill the Alps
Mine pool, composed OF local men, has
kept up regular shipments. The dcvel-
opment made the past year exceeds that
OF any previous year since the present
pool took charge OF the mine. The val
ues in the ore IL OF the same character
as when the pool was receiving the large
dividends. With new ground opened
up the Alps will prove as productive as
in former years.
The Rome Gold Mining company, on
the Clark. Gardiner, j. W. Bostwick,
manager and John w. Cannon, foreman,
have sunk 20 fcet OF main shaftagc,
which is now down TO depth OF $50
feet. In the 600 foot level good shoot
OF ore was encountered They urc now
extending the seventh level to catch the
same shoot Of ore. They are also extend
ing the 500 foot levels the lowest ones
in the mine. Crude ore in 30 ton lots IL
being shipped 10 tho Rocky Mountain
conccntrator in Black Hawk. Smelling
ore is also being shipped. During the
past year the mine was connected with
the side track to the California mine.

FREEDOM MINE.

This property, situated on Winnebago
hill, although at one time considered a
low grade proposition. since being taken
hold of by c. K. Knight, who put Ste.
phen Hosliin in charge as manager, has
been developed into good paying ore,
stamp mill and smelling. Since Janu-
AIRY |, 1863, l75 feet of shaftage has been
sunk, the shaft being 7C) feet deep, sink
ing being continued with three eight
hour shifts OF miners, who will continue
the shaft down to the depth of SC0 feet.
Levels have been driven at the depths
Of SEQ and so feet. In the latter an ore
body was opened up which yielded ~
ounces gold per cord, the concentrates
bringing Sl6 per ton, while the smelling
ore nets from $50 to Sl25 per ton. One
feature Of the ore bodies is that a large
proportion is clear mineral, smelling ore.
An output OF two cords OF milling orc is
shipped daily over the Gilpin Tramway
with which the mine is connected, the
ore averaging from two to four ounces
per cord. This year an 80 horse power
boiler has been installed, an l,lt) foot
steel wire rope put on the drum OF the
holster, and an addition to the building
OF lixG0 erected. This is used for boiler
purposes and blacksmith shop. The
force employed includes % miners.

Gal IsSA GROUP.

The Galena group of veins on Central
City hill is among other mines of this
county that changed ownership during
1863, having passed into the hands OF
John Grant, Of Detroit, Michigan, who
represents English capital. Frank Ken
gel is still retained as manager. The
mine is being worked and the usual
amount of mill and smelling ore is being
shipped. Ia driving the west level at II
depth Of 525 feet, smelling ore was re.
Gently cut into, the values footing up
over $500 per ton, principally gold. The
Galena gives promise of being a steady
producer during 1901.

creases Production.
GAIN OF OVER S5O0,OOO
A Brief Review of the Years
Work OF the Mines in
Golden Gilpin.

The greatest year in the history
of Colorado was the one which just
closed the nineteenth century.
The production of gold was greater
last year than the entire gold pro-
duction of the United States for
any one year prior to 1893. 1t
was more than double the preduc-
ton of California. The Cripple
Creek district takes the lead in the
list of counties with production
of S22, 800, 900, which is larger
production than Klondike and
Alaska combined. Lake county
comes second with production of
Sl3,42S,o or an increase of
$3,6oo,ooo over 1899. Gilpin
county is third in the list with a
substantial increase, and SO Oh
down the line each county shows
an increase over the previous
year. The production of the state
for the year in gold was S35, 163,-
457, and of precious metals S6l,-
100000, and a grand total of
$134,S77, ,4S2 of raw products.
This is an incrdase Of over 25 per
cent. over the gold production of
1898.
Gilpin county has had a very
prosperous year during the last
twelve months, considering every
thing. Several of the principal
mines have not been worked
steadily, or have been closed down
part Of the time. Tho Topeka and
California, owing to litigation,
have not been producing; the
Cook was almost closed down for
several months owing to improve
ments being made and other
causes, while others have been
doing considerable development
work. Many transfers of property
have been made during the year,
and the properties have been
worked with the idea of getting
into good shape for future large
shipments.
Among some of the transfers
was the Carr property to Hol-
land company, the 2:4o group to
Colonel Babcock, almost the on
tire middle portion of Quartz hill
to the Patch Mining company, and
many others.
The outlook for this year is the
brightest and healthiest that has
appeared for many years, There
are more mines working in Gilpin
county than for many years past,
and within few months, after
present developments are COM
pleted, the county's output will
necessarily be increased to very
large extent.
There are still many good prop
ositions to be had here for careful
investors, and especially more so
now after the new pyritic smelter
at Golden, which will treat SS:ores
at profit, is IN running order,
which will be about April |.
We have below compiled an
estimate of the production Of the
county, which shows an increase
over last year, although the ship
ments by rail of smelling ore is
not quite ss large as the previous
year. But to Offset this there was
shipped to Idaho Springs large

The CALIFORNIA, HIDDEN TREASURE AND
INDIANA VEINS.

INDIANA ElNS.
The above locations, constituting the
California vein, as well as other proper
ties worked by the Gold Coin Mines Co.,
has passed into the hands of Richard
Sykes, Henry A. Hoffman and others,
through an agreement and option made
some months ago. These gentlemen
have organized the Patch Mining com
pany and secured the services of Mr. p.
McCann, as manager, who retained John
Prouse as foreman underground, as he
has thorough knowledge of that prop
erty. About the first of December last,
the California main shaft was repaired,
steam raised and the work of unwater-
ing the shaft workings below the 1000
foot level commenced. The shaft is in
two compartments, two large iron buck
cts being used for hoisting water. The
Tramway company recently put in a
switch line to the rear of the shaft build
| ing to the coal rooms near the boiler
room, where coal is delivered at the mine
in car load lots, considerably lessening
the cost of fuel. The shaft is 2,22O feet
in depth. The last mine ore taken from
the shaft yielded five ounces per cord
under stamps the concentrates bringing
SIG per ton and the smelling ore, an av-
eragc of 500 per ton. There ie compar-
atively little open ground below the 1,7CO
foot level. AT present the water is be-

day. Stroehle ~ Son have completed
one new iron bucket of $50 gallons capac-
ity and this week will have another one
completed. Every resident of Nevada
vile, and for that matter, every citizen
Of Gilpin county wishes the new com
pany unbounded success in getting the
mine in shape for its former output of
ore. The Hidden Treasure main shaft
is now down over 400 feet, and will be
sunk to greater depth. There is quite
difference between the collar of the
latter shaft and that OF the California,
which is said to be 200 feet, which gives
the Hidden Treasure shaft depth Of
1000 feet. Tributers are taking out ore
west of the shaft where there is consid-
erable gronnd unworked. With addi-
tional depth in the latter shaft, water in
the California workings will not be sc
annoying. The California has ample
hoisting capacity, as the plant consists
OF two engines of combined capacity oI
250 horse power, with plenty OF boiler
capacity. In the group OF mines there
are % other patented properties, outside
the California vein. When the mine is
unwatered it will be the means OF af-
fortiing employment to fully 400 miners.
This will add to the population of the
Town of Mines, besides adding greatly
to the business Of the town, as well as
Central City and Black Hawk.

amount of ore, which shipment
we have estimated at $4,000 tons.
This makes total of 1869 tons
of smelling and concentrating ore.
We figure that an average of S45
per ton is a fair estimate, which
gives a production of S3,316,oo4
for smelling ore, to which add the
bank shipments OF 100000 gold
and we have a total production Of
$3,S16,oo4.

THE SARATOGA MINE.

On the divide between Wills a. Russell
gulches has been continuously worked
the entire year under the management
of Ernest LeNeve Foster Steady de-
velopment has been the course adopted
without regard TO output which was con-
sequently not very large, though the pro-
duct has been greater than several years
past About fifteen hundred feet of
levels have been driven during the year
opening up about 1000 fathoms of ground
for stopping, whilst less than 80 fathoms
were stopped out.
This property has had to contend with
more than its usual quantity of water,
the amount doubling about four months
after the spring storms, but at no time
was the work impeded from this cause
the well arranged and conducted pump
ing plant handled it with ease.
On the surface some improvements
have been made principally the purify
ing of the water for boiler use. The ex-
haust steam is used for the purpose of
heating all of the buildings, the new
office and the ore leading station by the
Warren system, by which means more
than one half of the water used is con-
densed and returned to the boilers at a
temperature of 200 degrees Fair. The
effect of this is a great reduction in cost
of repairs to boilers as in the cost of fuel
the boilers are free from scale, and econ
omy in every direction 10 obtained.
The shaft house, office, other buildings
and dumps are all lighted by electricity,
developed from a Lundall dynamo.
This mine will probably largely in
crease its output when the smelter now
in course of construction at Golden is
completed and ready to take its ores.

PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL coMp.N,

The Pennsylvania Central Mining
company are getting their property west
OF the Topeka in splendid shape again,
Last spring they were drowned out.
Since then after getting the water out they
have been retimbering the shaft, and
VIII soon be in condition for steady
production of ore, which after concen-
tration contains gold, silver, copper and
lead values.

NOTES.

The Banta Hill Mines company during
1900 have done good deal of develop
ment work in sinking the shaft, driving
crosscuts, levels etc. at the Hill mine.
The principal part of their ore has been
piled up Tor concentration at some future
time. The mine is looking promising
and is in good ore. They also have
force OF men working their Gold lode
situated on the opposite mountain,
where developments are still prosecuted,
the showing being very flattering.
The Chase mine east OF the Saratoga
is being worked by driving the 300 foot
levels. The property is owned in St.
Louis, Mo. There are large bodies of
low grade ore in the mine, which here
tofore has paid fair profit, over mining
transportation and treatment.
The Kokomo mine is worked by what
is termed the kokomo Pioneer Mining
and Milling company. The vein is the
same as the Searle, Aududdel, East and
West Frontenac and other patented
mines in Clear Creek county, there
beiLg something like fifteen government
patents on the vein, extending over on
to Belleview mountain. The company
at one time was hauling ore to Dumont
above Idaho Springs for treatment. The
shaft is COO feet deep. The ore is taken
out from the 200 and 300 foot levels,
Below the latter the mine is under
water, which will be taken out and ore
breakers put To work.
Parties last week came up from Den
yer and looked over the Louisiana mine
west OF the Missouri 1t was discovered
10 the spring of 1860, by DR.. Henry T.
Reed, und afterwards patented by Jacob
Mack, now n resident Of Denver, and
the late John Schoenueckcr. The ore is
characteristic OF that taken from the Mis-.
souri,. 1t was last worked by A. j. Nc.
Corkel. The parties acre will develop IL
providing proper LEASE can be obi aimed.
The Carrie Belle vein on Missouri
Flats, owned by DeCoar N Co., was
leased few weeks ago by Minnesota
parties, who have erected n shaft build,
ing and installed "A plant OF machinery.
At present they are unwatering the
shaft and workings, and will be actively
engaged in development work the COM
ing week,
South OF Saratoga mountain, the 2I0
and London mines have passed into the
hands OF an Illinois banker, who has put
Colonel A. c. Babcock in charge there
AS manager, who has force o, miners
engaged in development work, The
property pnid the former owners hand
5omely, when working il with small
force of miners. 1t IL probable that Col.
oncl Babcock after maj uring plans for
further development will employ larg-
er force Of mines.
