have been made. especially the placing
of a cage in the shaft, which was badly
needed for the safety of the miners.
and more especially the handling of
ore in larger quantities.
The Gibson Developing company
have for some time been developing
several mining claims they have on
the Orc Quay gulch, in the Yuda and
Little Fred mining claims. Quite ex-
pensive work has been done and at
present Mr.. III. w. McCulloh has a con
tract for sinking several hundred feet
in the above claims and they are show
ing good indications of large bodies of
ore In what little work has been done.
The Gibson Development company will
keep developing right along which will
be the opening OF some of the many
prospects of the camp. and which have
been for some years awaiting the
proper development work.
The Old Timer mine, one which
several years ago was one of the best
producers of free gold ore and has
been lying idle for several years. is
now being worked under a lease and
bond by Messrs. Trotter & Wilson, two
Cripple Creek miners, who lave the
experience of mining and properly
developing, to make a paying mine, II
the ore is anywhere in the mine. So
far the gentlemen seem to be well
pleased with the outlook of the mine,
and they intend to do everything in
their power to make a producing mini
out of the Old Timer IL work and prop
err work will do it.
The Delgado mine, one Of the best
producers in gold in the eighties. of
which Mr.. White is the sole owner,
has made quite a lot of improve
ments in the mine, and he intends
working the mine until pay ore is
found. Al Mr.. white keeps up his
work with the present showing, he
will undoubtedly find the large guam
titles of free gold ore take nout years
ago by Mr.. Yates, when some Of the
biggest nuggets were extracted from
the mine in those days. Quite a lot of
ore was sent to the Chicago Worlds
Fair and the first premium for the
best display of gold ore was awarded
to the Delgado mine. Mr.. White. while
he has been doing considerable work
in the mine. has now. with his expert
ence, hopes that before long he will
be taking ore out of the mine which
will bring him a steady income for sew
eral years to come. Mr.. White has
made several big deals in the camp
and he has always spent II opening up
other claims. and he can never find
anything SO rich in the camp but what
his friends will be pleased to see him
enjoy the fruits of his output among
the old boys of the camp, where he has
seen good old times, and also some
hard ones.
The San Miguel, while it has only
I been opened up in the last few years,
begins to give announcement to the
new owner. who is an eRergeIlc young
man. wltA the means and experience
to make it n paying property. The
present developments under MIR. Lopez
has SHOWN that the ore bodies are
quite extensive, and he is now ready
to give his Gre a laIr trial II he can

Lopez has been trying hard to get the
use of one of the monumental mills
which only adorn the town, to he in
the way of property. the n have
refused to entertain any propositions.
Could one Of these good for nothing
monuments be leased, Mr.. Lopez would
prolably run several tons of his ore,
thus giving the young man a better
chance to know the real value con-
tanned in his ore. Mr.. Lopez will now
build a Mexican arrasta, where he Will
treat some of the ore. and If the ore is

mine. where Mr.. Lopez has al interest
i'm quite a large water well, which will
supply all his milling purposes.
The San Lazarus mines under Mr..
Conger, the discoverer of them twelve
years ago. has now a large force of
men developing inc mines which once,
Under has administration, he took quite
large bars of gold from. While Mr..
Ionger has only oeen in camp about
ninety days. he has in his Office more
free gold ore than any other manager
that had an thing to do with the mine
since he left u ten years ago. The a
Lazarus VII be another OF the mines
that will help to swell the gold output
of the New Placers district for the
new year. Mr.. Conger's knowledge OF
tke mire will make II the same old
| producer of year ago. and the San
Lazarus company will once again have
enough ore TO keep their mill running
ard at the same time bring some OF
their output back TO them. All the

Lazarus have kept the work to hold

situated in the l.azarus gulch and the
