STILL HOLDS OUT.

The recent strike of ore in the East
Whiting mine still holds out. The
manager is driving the 400 foot east level
in under this same chute of ore. Con
tractors are also driving the 32O.
west level with the same object in view.
The chute of ore is continuous for a
long distance. An upraise is being
made in the 200-foot west level to con
meet with shaft for the purpose of Sc
curing an air circuit, which will afford
ample ventilation for attaining greater
depth in the main shaft and deeper de
velopment of the property. The mana
ger is shipping ore to the Rocky Noun
tain stamp mill in Black Hawk, as also
to the Rcnshaw mill at Idaho Springs
for treatment, the output being about
so tons per day. At the former mill the
ore yields $50 per cord by plate amalga-
nation, the ore turning out at the rate
OF one ton of mill concentrates or tail.
ings to three tons OF crude ore treated
under stamps. These bring $40 per ton
at the sampling works who purchase
them for the Denver smelters. Taking
the gold received through plate amalga.
nation at the stamp mill and the amount
per ton received for the mill concen-
trates, the ore averages trifle over S25
per ton.
The smelling ore is being assorted by
the company and piled up, and will be
shipped direct to the the smelters in car
load quantities. The mine is improving
with every foot OF development work
When the levels now being continued to
reach the ore chute at greater depth are
completed, Mr.. McMasters. the manager.
will be enabled to largely increase the
output OF the mine.
