Transfer Made.

The Freighter's Friend has been turned
over to W. E. Renshaw, who consoli-
dated it with the Gem Extension. The
full particulars of this consolidation ap-
peared in Siftings in previous issue.
The formal tranfer was made the early
part of this week. Ed Wittish, of Pitts
burg, representing the John Owen COM
pany arrived in the city last Saturday
and at once turned the property over to
Mr.. Renshaw.
A new organization is soon to be
effected, after which the property will be
developed on large scale.
1t is the intention of the new manager
to electrify the entire property, power to
be furnished by the Seaton Mountain
Electric company.
As soon as the Freighter's Friend re-
sumes operationsit is probable that from
forty to fifty men will be employed.
This deal means much for the district.
The John Owen company stockholders
had been quarre1ing among themselves
for some time, and all differences have
now been adjusted.

Work Will Be Resumed.

Another promising property up Chic

large scale. A local pool consisting of S.

Jules Huilett, Frank Pollard and others.
have decided to resume work on the II.
S. tunnel which is located about quarter
OF mile this side of the Star tunnel.
This property has not been worked for
number of years. The bore is now in
the mountain 700 feet, and it is thought
that short distance is only necessary to
be driven before the Solid Muldoon lode
is reached. This has produced some rich
ore in former years.

see the ore sorters at work and see
be placed under lock and key every
night. Then you enter the tunnel You
go in not to exceed fifteen or twenty
feet before you can see plainly where
the tunnel has encountered the rich
vein and then for 600 feet you walk
under Il hanging wall of gold and sill

rich vein protruding in the roof of the
tunnel for the latter has followed the
vein the entire distance. Occasionally
ii swells out until it reaches width
of over two feet and then it will mar
row down again to from eighteen to
twenty inches.
1t is immensely rich in values. AS

that the entire vein will average pret-

it and this latter vein is giant quartz
proposition that ought to produce big
values. The veins can be traced in
every direction across the mountain
and it appears that they are all center
ing for the immense porphyry dixie that
cuts across the hill. When this is
reached some wonderful values can be
expected as all these rich veins in con-
tact with porphyry should make an
elegant proposition.
At the present time the shafts and
work done ON the tunnel means bust
ness. 1t is in a position to ship al
once and there is little room for doubt
that it will become one of the district S
richest propositions
Manager Boyd is to be congratulate
ed upon his good work and in his
work he has been aided materially by

company and by Mr.. Mason, who is
worker whose ability is never ques-

the long cherished wish is about to be
realized. Lawson will become place of
which they have little dreamed.
This properly will, if the deal is made,
be opened up by a system of tunnels,
which will attain great depth. The work
of development has principally been by
shafts. and not one is over 800 feet deep.
The only tunnel is the one that cuts the

STANLEY
LOSING
NO TINE
This Great Property is Working Forty Men
in Pushing Development.


The Stanley Consolidated property,
which was brought to the attention of the
public some time ago when Siftings made
the announcement that a consolidation
had taken place, is doing great amount
of development work.
Forty men are employed at the present
time and all work is in the line of deve1-
opment The third and fifth levels are
being utilized as the base of operations
and enough ore is being obtained from
the exploratory work to pay all the ex-
penses of the mine. This in itself, is
enough to please the owners of property.
1t is seldom that development work pays
for itself
Most of the output is of a smelling
grade, as only about seven tons of mill
dirt are collected in every twenty-four
hours.
Before inaugurating the deep mining
it is the intention of the management to
to erect 2oo-ton mill When this struc-
ture is completed and in operation, the
Stanley consolidated will give employ
ment to as great number of men as any
mine in the entire state.
Sufficient treasury stock is being placed
at the present time to guarantee the
funds for the new mill. This is ample
assurance that work will be started on
the new mill very shortly.
There are FIVE sets of lessees working on
the property, and from these operations
the company is receiving good royalties.
The Stanley mine is one of the oldest
properties in Clear Greek county. 1t has
produced millions of dollars in gold and
silver, and the amount of ore in sight
is enough to produce a large sum. The
underground workings extend for dis
tauce of twenty-five miles, and the devel-
opment work has hardly started.
A number of Colorado Springs people
are now interested in the property.

LESSEES
MAKING
MONEY
NJ. W. Tanner and Associates Taking Out
Rich Ore In Wa1tham.

NJ. w. Tanner and his associates, who
have lease on the Waltham are making
hay while the sun shines. 1t is said by
people who are in position to know, that
the four gentlemen will clean up at least
$r5o,ooo each out of the proposition
From the very start the lessees have
been taking out high grade ore, which
they they have been shipping The more
work the men do the richer the ore be-
comes, the result being that about twenty
tons of ore is daily hauled to the Roller
mill.
Mr.. Tanner has just built cyanide
mill in the Roller institution and as soon
as it is put i'll operation the ore from the
Waltham is to receive treatment by this
method. If it proves successful, as no
as no doubt it will, the capacity will be
increased to fifty or one hundred tons per
day.
The Waltham mine promises to be-
come one of the biggest producers in
Clear Greek county. Mr.. Tanner and his
associates are all practical mining men.
and the property is being worked for all
it is worth.
Fot long time Mr. Tanner was the
manager of the Bertha Mining and Mill
ing company and during that time did
much towards making that mine the pro-
ducer it is today. He is firm believer
in the cyanide process, and is attempting
to prove to the mining men in this sec
ton that more values can be saved by
this process than in other way.

Fraction to Start Up.

Assistant Manager Redding of the
Fraction mine stated one day this week
that this property will start up soon
When work does start on this old mine
everything will be in good shape. The
delay has been on account of sickness in

Everything begins to dawn brightly
again for the company, now that every
thing has been satisfactoraily arranged.

Tramway Completed.

The Gilpin tramway was completed
a few days ago, much to the satisfaction
of all interested. 1t now has connection
with the Waltham mine, thus making
it possible for that property to transport
its ores quickly and with little cost.
