Developments on -Four Mile Show Great
Ore Bodies In New Places.
Wall Street, Aug. 20. 1901.
The water power plant of the Wood
Mountain Mining and Milling company
is about completed, and it is expected in
4, few days to have the necessary
changes made whereby the mill and COM
oressors can be operated by this cheap
method, thus making great saving in
he cost OF fuel every month to the com.
pany. congratulate the manager. Mr.
Teagarden, on his wise policy Of install.
ing this plant. The upraise from the
main tunnel to franklin, No. 1, is being
pushed with all possible speed. 1t is
hoped to have it connected some time
during the coming month. This upraise
is being made for the sole purpose Of
We ,:Ilatiop. When it is completed the
working force will be increased and min
ing on ,he.e properties will be prosecut.
ed on much larger scale In the future.
The Concord people are doing good
work in running their tunnel. This will
intersect the vein at depth Of some.
thing like 400 feet. and cut directly un.
der the BONANZA pocket Of early days
from which many thousands Of dollars
we're extracted. All the old timers have
great faith in the Concord.
With the utmost zeal the Nancy tunnel
is beir & driven ahead to cut the numer.
Gus veins on Pumpkin hill and owned by
the Nancy Gold Mining company. They
have in use the IngeNoll-Sargeant air
drills with l2xI7 Norwalk compressor
aad sixty horse power boiler to furnish
the power. The contra actors are making
about three feet six inches each round
Of holes drilled. which is good progress

which the tunnel passes. Its with more

If the Nancy tunnel is noted. the COM
pany having previous TO running the
unnel spent considerable time in prov
ng the value of several Of their veins
,ear the surface, and that in most every |
Instance was productive Of good results.
On the Tioga shaft is sunk to depth
If eighty feet. showing a we'll defined
rein carrying grai- OF $50 ore.
The Grand View with shaft 70 feet
las fine body OF ore exposed to the
ull depth. carrying values varying from
'I2 to SIS per ton. No. least among
heir proven properties is the GilIard
With shat, 225 feet deep. drifts at 100
ZEE, and I75 feet deep in all the eopenings.
The vein is large with perfect walls. and
am reliably informed that this develop
nent paid for itself and left neat
margin in the hands of the company.
The condition Of the development on
hese properties leaves no doubt as to
heir production in the future. The tun-
lel will intersect these veins at about
100 feet. 1t is expected by the first of
December that the Gillard vein will be
ocated, when the energies Of the com
oany will be directed exclusively to de
,elop this vein. The low grade ore
from these properties will be
treated a, the new mill, the smelling |
,rade at Denver, as in the past. Ar.
are now under way to de. |
velope some of the veins already in.
.erested and it is expected to increase
he force for this purpose at once. The
Of the Nancy tunnel will
open up oae of the richest districts in
Northern Colorado.
Improvements are progressing quite
rapidly on the Tambourine. The new
plant is about completed and
the ,hre. compartment shaft finished to
a depth Of 800 feet. These improve.
ments will add greatly 10 the economical
working OF the mine, and increase
materially its output.
The Ramona company are engaged
in sinking the shaft on the Little Giant
at adepth of 70 feet. The vein is strong
and wide carrying values running from
SIS to So per ton. 1t is the intention Of
Mr. Brown. the manager, who is also one
of the largest stockholders. to continue
sinking until depth Of 800 feet is
reached, when drifts will be run east and
west on the vein. Mr. Brown is to be
Congratulated on his requirement of this
valuable preperty.
1t is understood that George Blaisdell
will start up the Gold lode in few days.
This means good shipments for large
amount of ore is already blocked out IN
this property that carries good values in
both gold and silver.
They never stop at the Lucky Star.
Sinking. drifting. stoping and shipping
it comes in regular order, and as depth
is gained, increased values are found.
