Good Body Of Ore.

A foot OF solid ore was opened up in
the Newhouse tunnel this week on the
Gem Extension vein. This property is
being worked under lease by ]. N. Brad
ley, the well known mining man and the
assays gave returns of $50 to the ton. On
the side of this streak is large body of
mill ore and it is thought that it will give
good returus.
The strike was made while making all
upraise to connect with the shaft.
The Gem is owned and operated by w.
E. Reushaw, who short time ago effect
ed consolidation with the Freiehters'
Friend and other properties. A large
amount of mill dirt is being taken out of
the Gem vein and is being treated at the
Nowton mill
1t is expected that within short time
the management of the property will be-
gin work on the big mill of which an
nouncement was made in Siftings some
time ago The plans and specifications
for this work have been completed.
From now on, the Gem Extension and
Freighters' Friend will be worked for all
they are worth. Extensive DEVELOPMENT
work is being done and little attempt is
being made to treat the ores for the reas-
on that the milling facilities in the dis
trict are inadequate.

Bond Taken Up.

w. H. Person and associates of Denver
who some time ago secured bond and
lease on the Connamera property, which
was owned by ]. R. Simmons of this city
have taken up the bond. The deal was
consummated last week at which time
the purchase price was paid in cash.
When the gentlemen who made the
purchase took hold of the proposition
they did so with the intention of making
an exploration of the property. The
shaft was unwatered at considerable ex-
pense and then the prospective purchas-
ers got down to work. 1t was not neces-
say to do any great amount of work be-
cause they could see ore in big quantities
and paying qualities.

A New Company.
expense

The Millard Mining company has
been incorporated with capital stock of
$4,000. The incorporators are Thomas
NJ. Fisher of Colorado Springs, Robert
Callow and ]. J. May of this city.
The Millard company will operate the
New Year mine which is situated on
Seaton mountain. The final payment on
the property was made last week and the
deeds were executed and delivered.
The shaft is down o5 feet and the new
owners will at once begin extensive de-
velopment work. Drifts will be started
from the 100 foot level and will be run
east and west.
J.J. May is the manager of the com
pany.

Good Proposition.

The Gold Bug group of mines situated
on Covode mountain give promise of be-
coming good payers in a very short time.
w. P. Clough, the manager of the prop
erty is doing large amount of develop
ment work and has recently opened up
large ore bodies lying back of the sup
posed wall rock.
One of the veins which was uncovered
is two feet in width and runs SI8 in gold
to the ton. While the principal part of
the ore which has been opened is of a
high grade milling character, there is an
occasional streak of suielting ore coming
in. The ore body of the smelling has
only been uncovered to certain extent,
but it has been demonstrated that it is
rich enough to pay handsomely.
This property is located at Empire and
it is only question of short time until
it will be payer.

Mill Running Again.

The new mill of the Idaho Springs
Mining and Reduction company resumed
operations this week. The mill is run
ming full time and treating ores from the
Shafter mine. The Shafter is furnishing
some rich stuff, some of the ore running
as high as $500 to the ton. The plant
was closed down for some time for the
purpose of making repairs.

and that the outlook is bright. The
winze is which is being sunk to reach
the junction of the Black and Leroy
veins is now down forty feet and work is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The drift on the Black lode is being
pushed and it is expected that rich ore
chute will be opened in the course of a
couple of weeks.
Mr.. Kerr is operating the. Mammoth

Will Work the Dump.

The following which was taken from
the Daily Mining Record published at
Colorado Springs, explains quite fully
what the Stanley consolidated company
intends to do:
III. A. Reidel returned yesterday from
Idaho Springs, where he had been attend
ing a meeting of the board of directors of
the Stanley Consolidated company, which
recently took over the Stanley mine and
other Idaho Springs properties. Mr..
Reidel said:
1.-The directors decided to run an up
raise from the Stanley tunnel to the sur
face to get under the old Hukill dump
containing 10000 tons of ore that will yield
SS ton on an average. The upraise is
started from a point l 400 feet in from
the portal and will have to go up but 90
feet before coming out on the surface. A
chute will be then put in and the ore run
down to the tunnel and trammed to the
mill where it will be treated. The COM
pany is running enc shift day at the
mill but will Immediately put on two as
soon as the dump is reached, thus per-
mitting the running of the mill night and
day. This will be within the next ten
days or two weeks and when the dump
treated at the mill until the entire dump
is removed. The capacity of the mill is
ten tons, which running two shifts day
will take care of twenty tons every
twenty-four hours.
1.-The board of directors also decided
to keep thirty men at work in the mine,
this being the present force. Operations
are now being carried on in the third and
fifth levels, at depth of 400 and 500
feet respectively. An upraise is being
run to the third level to cut the ore chute
between this and the second level, and
from present indications will be opened
in few feet. In the 400 foot workings
they are driving on the vein and taking
out considerable mill and smelling dirt
and upon last Saturday, a shipment of
the latter was sent to Denver that re-
turned $45 ton. Considerable mill dirt
is being made in running this drift
but it is allowed to stand in the vein
until such time as the old mill gets
through treating the old Hukill dump or
the new mill is completed.
"'The leasers on the Salisbury mine
shipped out twenty tons of smelling ore
last week, some of which ran $Ieo ton
and over, the ore being taken from their
workings at 800 feet"

Strike at Yankee.

F. l. Slater, who is operating the Gold
Anchor at Yankee, made a good strike
this week. A fourteen inch streak of
sulphides was opened up. 1t is not yet
known just what the ore will run in gold
to the ton, but mining men who saw the
ore say that it will give good returns. The
Gold Anchor is one of the oldest proper
ties in the district and gives promise of
becoming good payer at an early date.

Leasers at Work in Hyattsville Tunnel

A number of leasers are at work in the
operated by Judge George G. Whiting.
Since the tunnel which was started by
the Gold Cord company encountered a
rich nody of ore, leasers have been very
anxious to get the chance of working on
a royalty. The Hyattsville shows up ex-
ceedingly well and some fine looking ore
is being taken out. Besides the leasers
who are at work, the manager is working
men in driving the new tunnel which is
to cut the Little Jennie.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-18
Good Record.

The record for driving a tunnel was
broken in September by the Consolidated
Franklin company. During the month
or in twenty-six shifts, the bore was ex-
tended for a distance of I44 feet. The
drill crew consisted of T R. Grasser and
A. w. Hendricks.

Operations to Be Resumed.

The Anon tunnel, which is located on
the right fork of Hukill gulch, below the
Shafter mine. is to start up soon. The
property is owned by J. o. A. Carper of
Denver, who has associated with him a
number of capitalists. William Mans
field will act as manager.

with Attendance Yesterday.
At the Cathedral Fair last night
things were a little duller than had
been anticipated, due in great meas
ure TO the bad weather, which kept

to put in an appearance, though IT
notified the managers of the Fair that
Ii would be unable to attend and sent
a donation instead
Despite these drawbacks, however, a
fair, business was done. Among the
awards were, from Mrs. j. j. McDon-
ough's table, toy automobile, secured
by Master Eugene Connors; a center
piece to Mr. ]. j. McDonough. a case
of whisky to Capt. John Fitzgerald,
and a cake to Master John Sullivan.

COOK SHOP WRECKED.
Demolished in "a General Fight in
which Several Were Cut.

During genral fight at No. 314 Tay-
Tor street, west, last night cook shop
was demolished. and it is thought by
the police that several negroes were
more or less injured. The place itself
looked as if a cyclone had struck it
when Detective Murphy arrived on the
scene.
The detective was unable to ascertain
how the fight started, and could only
find one person who had been engaged
in it, The prisoner is Jordan Garrett
and he is charged with having been
engaged in fight. The negro's con-
diticn will be proof enough of the as
sertion. Garrett is suffering from a
painful wound in the back which II Is
believed was inflicted by the cook. who
made his escape. According to infor-
nation secured by Detective Murphy
there were a half dozen or more en-
gagged in the fight. Garrett will be
given a hearing by Recorder Myrick
in Police Court this morning.

Poultry and eggs are coming to the
