GOOD WATER POWER.
Green and Clear Lakes Near Georgetown
Owned by New Company.

Some energetic and sagacious officers
of the United Light & Power company
have purchased all the stock of the old
Green and Clear lakes company which
for almost quarter of century has
owned a 23o acre tract of patented land
comprising Green and Clear lakes. The
company made some improvements on the
property many years ago for resort pur-
poses but has neglected the ground dur
ing the past ten years. The company
has Just been revived with Fred E. Him
rod, of New York, as president and Fred
P Dewey, of the Bank of Clear Greek
county as manager. The company under
its new management will add many i'm
provements to the resort features of the
lakes, but the principal object of the new
management will be utilize the immense
volume of water in the lakes an auxiliary
supply for the United Light and Power
company water power plant. The lakes
are only one mile and a half from George
town, and are capable of affording a
water power equivalent to Iooo-horse
power for 100 days.
The Green and Clear lakes company
will be an auxiliary to the United Light
and Power company through contracts
already executed. Either of the lakes
will serve for storage purposes and next
summer dams will be constructed at both
lakes to store the water for the winter
supply. A tunnel will be started at once
from Clear lake to render the water there
available for winter use by the United L.
6, P. company which already has ample
water for all power purposes during the
summer. By erecting dams at the lakes
the water supply there will be doubled
and the United L. & P company will be
able to run at full capacity throughout
the year without the aid of steam The
acquisition of this new water supply by
the United L. & P. company is a most
assuring event for many districts in
lower Clear Greek and Gilpin counties

PROGRESS
OF THE
MATTE
Ore From the General Thomas and New
ton Taken From Matte Shaft.

The work of getting the General
Thomas and Newton mines in shape has
about been completed. The General
Thomas has been completely drained and
water is now down below the fourth level
III the Newton.
With the consolidation of these two
mines with the Matte the people of this
district can look forward to much work
being accomplished and good returns
from all three properties in the future.
As soon as the plans have been conf
pleted the entire consolidated property,
which was formerly worked through
three shafts, will be worked from the
Matte proper. Thus a great saving will
be made in the handling of the ores.
A large amount of ore is being taken
out during the course of the development
work. The ore is being treated at the
Bonieta mill, in addition to keeping the
Matte mill running to its fullest capac-
ity. 1t is stated that the management of
the property is endeavoring to make ar
rangements whereby the services of an
other mill will be secured in the near
future. Just what the name of this mill
is is not known, but it is said to be of
large capacity, and in case the deal is
made it will devote itself exclusively to
handling the ores from these properties.
The development work shows that
there are immense bodies of mill dirt
which can be easily handled. In addition
to this there is large quantity of smelt-
ing ore which was found in the crevices.
This is on account of the manner in
which the former management conduct
ed operations. The ore was gutted out
and portion fell into the crevices.

R. S. Grier, who is operating near
Empire on Covode mountain, is making
the old Mint mine shipper once again.
Mr.. Grier is operating by bond and lease
and during the last few weeks has sent
carload shipments to the Golden smelter,
all of which netted him good returns.
The ore which is being treated is broken
from three foot streak, foot of which
is of the smelling variety. The mill ore
is taken to the Atlantic mill for treatment

Old Stag Company.

A cross-cut tunnel is being driven by
the Old Stag company from the Oneida
mill to reach a body of ore which was
opened in the upper working of this
property.
1t is the intention of the management
to install an air compressor and machine
drills just as soon as the breast is in far
enough to warrant such move.
1t is reported that the old mill on the
property is to be overhauled and put in
first-class shape. New improvements in
the line of machinery are to be made in
order that the best possible saving may
be made.
The Old Stag is'a property that needs
no introduction to those familiar with the
good propositions of this district. 1t has
in former years produced heavily and in
all probability will again.

The New Era.

Manager Elgan reports a strike this
week in the New Era tunnel at Freeland,
which gives assay returns of $I26.5o per
ton.
Mr.. Elgan is surely entitled to much
credit for the manner in which he is con-
Quoting operations. He is at the present
time employing force of twelve men,
so it can be seen that work is not tagging.
Electric drills have been installed and
the bore is being pushed as rapidly as is
possible. About fifteen inches of good
looking ore was opened up in the Great

FREELAND Is ALIVE.
The Morgan Mine Proves That 1t Will
Be Big Payer.


Freeland is rapidly coming to the front
as one of the richest mining districts in
the county, and it will be only matter
of short time until this section will be
recognized as such.
The Morgan mine which is situated in
this section made an important strike
this week when big streak of smelling
ore was opened up which gave returns of
$3.50 the ton in gold, silver and copper
This property has paid for its develop
ment, besides returning a surplus for the
owners, from the time work was started.
Reports concerning the proposition are
to the effect that it has yielded a return
of $50 for every foot of ground worked.
The strike made this week was at the
depth of $50 feet in the shaft. Free
milling dirt has been encountered in this
shaft at all times and the ore has been
easy to handle.
The Morgan is owned by the Inter
national Mining company, which is the
possessor of eighteen patented claims.
The Monarch tunnel which is being
driven will cut all of the properties. 1t
is the opinion of G. T. Hickett, the sup
erintendent, that continuous veins will
be found running through the entire
group, as belt of porpyry was encouter-
ed at the so foot depth in the shaft.
Another proposition which gives prom
Use of again being a big producer is the
Falu. 1t is reported on good authority
that this property will resume operations
in a short time, and that big force OF
men will be employed.
Other properties which have been idle
of late are to be started up ard it begins
to look as though the camp was once
again going to put on that air of prosper
ity which was in evidence years ago.
New plants of machinery have been
ordered for the Harrisburg and Brighton
mines, and as soon as installed work OF
development will be pushed.
1t is known fact that all Freeland has
needed for years was the capital to be
used in prosecuting development work.
This capital has at last found the proper
place and in a little while mining prop
erty will be at premium in the district.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-04

four to ten cars of smelling ore is sent to
the smelter each month. The tunnel is
now in I,4oo feet and one of the largest
slopes in the entire Clear Creek district
is found in this tunnel. 1t is thirty feet
in width and the ore runs are good
This enterprise is paying for its develop
ment as the work progresses.

torneys while in the city relative to the
sale of some valuable property in the

ALPINE
MAKING
PROGRESS
This Property Is Being Developed in
Proper Manner.

ASRNA
The one mine in the entire camp which
appears to be always doing business is
The Alpine, which is owned by the Con-
solidated Alpine Gold and Silver Mining
company.
During the last year, it is safe to say,
that as many improvements have been
made around this property as any in the
district. AT the same time work has been
pushed in careful and conservative
manner, which goes to show that the
company is represented by most able
gentlemen.
AT the present time Manager Crow is
pushing work west on the third level,
and one electric drill is in operation
every day. During the last week good
strike has been made and the mill and
smelling streak combined will measure
about eighteen inches. The ore from
this locality, which is comprised mostly
of mill dirt, will average from SIS to $40
to the ton. Assays made this week prove
this beyond any doubt.
From the east side of the third level
cross-cut is being driven for the purpose
of cutting the main vein. At the way
work is progressing it is fully expected
that the vein will be cut before the first
shift quits work on Monday night Then
it will be known to Just what extent this
vein is.
The shaft on the property is now down
800 feet, but Manager Crow announces
that he will, in the course of few days,
begin sinking on another additional 100
feet.
The Alpine is in one of the most highly
mneralized districts in the country.
Many of the old time mining men, and
mining men who have been here for only
limited period, make the statement
that they are satisfied that the Alpine is
an extension of the famous Lexington,
which has produced a great amount of
the precious metal. Manager Crow, how
/ ever, is satisfied that he is working a
parallel vein and it only remains for the
work to be accomplished which has been
planned before the real truth will be
| learned
| If there were A few more companies
like the Alpine in the district it would
be good thing. The men financing the
i enterprise are all conservative business
men and they are working in a careful
and conservative manner. They want to
be sure they are on the proper track be-
fore making any statements, and that is
just the reason that the Alpine is held in
such high favor in all parts of the east.
Philip Collins; pioneer mining man
of this district and uian who has lived
in Georgetown for some time, has been
engaged by Manager Crow to do the as
saying in his Office in the future Mr.
Collins is a graduate of the School of
Mines and in addition to this has had
eighteen years practical experience He
is well known to the people of the Idaho
Springs district as a reliable person, and
it is safe to say that the work in this de-
partment of the office will be greatly in
creased in the near future.
1t is safe prediction that something
good will turn up in the Alpine in a very
short time if this manner of pushing de-
velopment work is continued.
