NEWS AND NOTES.

eAAA
A large amount Of the dead work has
been completed at the Buell. shaft Of the
Gregory Buell. Consolidated Gold Mining
company pr operty in Gregory district,
and the stockholders are well pleased
with the developments as already in
augurated under the present manage
ment. Some good looking ores are be-
ing taken out on the Gregory portion OF
the property, and when the drift and
crosscut from the Buell. shaft is in to the
Gregory workings shipments will be at
once started up and continued with reg
ularity, and the property may be ex-
pected to soon occupy its former stand
ing as one OF. the biggest producers in
Gilpin county. During its early history
the new consolidated properties were op-
Grated in as many as fourteen shafts and
quite profitably, so that under existing
conditions OF being operated under one
working shaft and under one manage
ment and with modern mining methods
the outlook is more than promising to
the stockholders Of the company.
Matt Kramer and others OF Nevada.
who are leasing the Stewart mine on
Quartz hill from Senator Henry NJ. Tel
ler and other owners, have struck free
gold ore in sinking new shaft to the
west Of the main one, and almost directly
back OF the Delaware Chief property.
They have reached a depth Of 60 feet,
and have smelling streak Of up to six
inches wide, and shipment OF Ia tons
TO the Black Hawk sampling works
brought them a check for $500, the ore
running 55 per cent in lead and six
ounces gold to the ton. Their lease and
bond calls for 5000 and they expect if
the mine keeps on as well as it has done
to take up the bond. They have had sew
.eral offers to sell out their lease interest,
but have decided to stay with it them
selves.

tors will have ample time to complete it
before January first as per their agree
ment. The mill is TO be equipped with
ten stamps, but room will be left to add
ten more at any time they may be de-
Jmanded. The new plant is to be first
class lead coneentrator. and Mr.. McFar-

keep on sinking for quite a distance.
