Boston Il Denver Consolidated M. & M.
Co. may be taken hold Of by Mr. Stock
bridge, formerly of the Fisk property
and who successfully operated the con-
solidated properties up to last spring.
Runor has it that Jim Carbis will of
ficate as foreman of the properties if
ur. Stockbridge takes charge.
The shaft on the Robert Fulton mine
d, the head OF Graham gulch is down
24O feet and the Russell Gulch Mining
and Development company is pushing
work in the east 160 drift, where the in
d,catons are favorable for taking out
ore in pay Quantities at an early date.
Idaho Springs and Denver parties are
interested in lease and bond.
The Peck shaft in Russell district is
being sunk 4x9 in the clear with the in
tentions of making it the main working
shaft of the Lotus group at the end of
the property. The shaft is down about
rs feet and the Sternberger Bros. intend
to sink it several hundred feet deeper
this coming year, and developmenents
will be made from this shaft after levels
have been run at intervals OF every 100
feet. The Lotus shaft is on the same
property and here drifting is being car
ried on at depth of $50 feet to open up
the ore body exposed in the upper level,
as well as making an upraise to the up
per level for air connections. The lower
workings have been difficult to work on
account OF the bad air and this upraise
will make the work more healthful. As
soon as the connections are made Sup
erintendent Fred Woods says that the
lower levels are to be opened up, as but
very little work but sinking has been
carried on in the lowest levels.
Three shifts are hard at work sinking
the shaft on the Russell mine near Rus
sell Gulch and the shaft has reached a
dopth OF 200 feet. The owners, who are
Eastern parties, are contemplating sink
ing the shaft down several hundred feet
deeper this winter, as they want to sat.
isfy themselves as to the property. They
have installed steam plant Of machin-
cry and erected shaftbuilding. but il
the property turns out as we'll as ex-
pected they will use the present plant
for developing the West Pewabic claim
to the east of the Russell and will put
up a much larger plant for the future
operation Of the Russell and will make
it the main or working shaft Of the
group. Cleaveland, Ohio, parties3 are
the owners and their interests are being
looked after by Almond Thompson Of
this city
| Operations have been resumed at the
King mine on King flats near Nevada by
the Nevada Consolidated Mines Co. and
with w. II. Richards in charge. The
upper level OF the King mine is being
clea ned out for further examination as
it is believed the showing there warrants
further operations. Drifting and stop
ing is being carried in the second level
OF the Lamberson and Warren mine OF
the group, and they are working ON a
very fair looking crevice. The ores from
the prope rty carry good per cent OF
| lead and their treatment has been quite
successful at the Rocky Mountain Con-
centrator as also at the local sampling
works. Theodore Marks of Denver who
is president of the above company was
] a visitor last Friday, and the company
are considering the advisibility of the
erection OF a concentrating plant during
the early part of rext year.
Nevadaville parties who are working
the Eclipse mine near to the Pyrenees
on Quartz hill have made shipments of
several lodes to the Randolph mill during
the past week. They are also taking out
some lead ores which are shipped to the
local samplipg works.
The Gilpin Tramway company is
building line to the Buckley mine on
Gunnell hill to connect that property
with the main line for shipping pur-
poses. The ores are very low grade, and
the lesser costs for hauling will help
materially in the successful operation oi
the property. The property bas been
recently started up by h. Williams OF
Denver with Eastern parties under a
lease and bond
Senator Henry Bolsinger is sink
ing the shaft of the True Democracy
} mine west Of Nevada and depth OF 20C
J feet has been reached. There is large
crevice in the shaft with a streak o
} smelling lead ore about six inches wide
Two shifts are working in the shaft and
the 120 foot drifts are being driver
! ahead aud are also looking better. Mil
and lead ores are being piled up fol
early shipments.
