NEWS AND NOTES.

The O'Neil mine on Gregory noun

ing ore to the Golden smelters. The
manager says he received good values.
The Russell Development company
has received new hoisting plant.
The gasoline holster formerly in use at
the Horseshoe mine has been moved to
the Bryan mine. A larger plant will be
placed on the Horseshoe mine and the
shaft carried to great depth.
Among the recently incorporated COM
panies is that Of the Hampton. The in
corporators are II. s. Morgan, G. I. Chit
tenden, Harley j. Ingersoll, N. c.
Hughes and George s. Parsons. The
company will operate the Hampton
mine in Russell gulch, which is we'll de.
veloped and gives splen lid showing in
all it's workings. From our personal
knowledge Of the property, we know it
to be splendid one.
Nick Shuer OF the Byrnes mine. on
Quartz hill, is sinking shaft which is
600 feet deep, and will continue on
down to depth of 700 feet. The out
put Of the mine is shipped to Golden,
where good prices are obtained.
Elias Stefan Of the Delmonico mine,
on Quartz hill, reports that tho main
shaft is being sunk at the rate OF three
feet FER day. 1t will be continued down
to depth Of 1900 feet before levels are
extended.
Bruce NJ. Myers 4 Co. have attpjned a
depth of 260 feet in the main shaft of
the Continental mine on Quartz hill. and
have two feet OF pay. They are pros
pecting in the 200-foot level by extend
the same in a westerly direction. Re-
Gently they made shipment of % tons
of ore to the Miners Sampling works in
Black Hawk, and another shipment OF
% tons to the Carpenter smelter at
Golden.
Lessees on the English Kansas mine,
on Quartz hill. recently sent to the
smelters ton Of ore from that property,
for which they received 13 ounces gold
per ton. Pretty good ore, this.
A letter received Sunday from Browns
gulch, Summit county, says that there
are sixty-ive miners employed on the
Cashier property, the ore being OF fair
value. The writer, who has been work.
ing in that locality for the past three
years, will spend this winter there. He
has high opinion OF the Cashier vein.
The advent Of the railroad last week
into the old town OF Angels. California,
exemplifles the new era in California
mining, and the advance from the days
OF 40, when that locality was made
famous in song and story, says the San
Francisco Press. The vicinity Of Angels
is still turning out gold in 1902, ms in
1840, the only difference being that deep
mining supercedes surface mining, and
the building OF railroad to that town
fittingly emphasizes its continuous ricl.-
ness and Importance.
Superintendent w. H. Parentau OF
the Gould Burroughs property is gradu-
ally getting that mine in shape for a reg
ular and steady output OF smelter and
stamp mill ore. The hoisting plant is up
and running, and the new shaft building
about completed.
Tho Straub main shaft, north OF the
Gunnell mine, at East Nevadaville, is to
receive another lift Of 100 feet, which
will give it depth Of 200 feet. In driv-
ing the 1O0.foot level Of that property
there has been marked improvement
In the ore taken out.
The announcemen is made that the
Wynn process is fake. This fact is not
30 surprising as that 30 many people Of
average good sense should have been in
duced to invest money In 1t before a
thorough test had been mnde.
