The Elk Mountain pilot., 1902-01-07


concerning the discovery of Won
derfully rich and large bodies of
silver and gold ore right at the
grass roots in the Forest Queen
lode was one of the leading feat
ures that led to the boom and the
large influx of people into the "Gun-
nison country" during the years
1S79-S0. Ore was being mined
and shipped in large quantities
from surface openings on the vein
that gave returns at the smelter in
carload lots of from 200 to 500 ozs.
in silver and good values IN gold
per ton, and some shipments ran
as high as from 1,200 to 300 ozs.
in silver per ton. All the ore had
to be hauled by wagon and jack
train to Alamosa, the nearest rail
road station at that time, but not
withstanding the great expense of
mining, transportation and smelling
incident to conditions then prevail
ing the mine paid profit and was
sold to a Denver syndicate at a
good price. Our space is too lin
tied to give a good history of the
mine. 1t was discovered by VIM.
A. Fisher July 5th., 1879, and the
ownership after passing through
numerous hands is now held by f.
W. Fuller. The mine was worked
more or less steadily up to the fl
nancial panic of 1898 when it was
closed down along with most of the
mines in the state. Soon after this
event the death of some of the
largest stockholders in the Forest
Queen Mining Co., "a corporation
then owning the mine) and close
attention to their other business
interests demanded from other
leading stockholders caused neglect
of this enterprise and resulted in
long continued idleness of the
mine and the gradual acquisition
of the title to the entire property
by F. w. Fuller, which was finally
accomplished few months ago.
For these causes very little has
been known or said about this
property in mining circles for sew
eral years past. Very recently
Mr.. Fuller gave lease and bond
on the property to John K.
Hallowell of Chicago, a gentleman
of many years experience in mining
matters.
Mr.. Hallowell is engaged this
winter in doing necessary develop
ment work preliminary to the ex-
tensive operation of this valuable
property in the future. The mine
has already been opened to some
extent by tunnels, shafts, ETC., sew
eral thousand linear feet in length
and although no great depth has yet
been reached, the deepest workings
not being over 300 feet below the
surface, it has produced over a
million dollars worth of ore and in
fact has been the largest producing
metal mine in the north end of
Gunnison county. The rich ore
found at the suface continues down
to the deepest workings and with
active, vigorous management the
mine will without doubt soon re-
sumo its former place in the
ranks of the steady producing
mines of the state. The property
is well equipped with a large sub
stantial shaft house, steam hoist,
pumps, ore crushing and sampling
machinery and all necessary facili-
ties for successful mining. The
plan adopted for opening the mine
is regular and systematic, levels be-
ing driven along the vein from the
main shaft every 60 fit. in depth from
the surface and long drainage
tunnel frees the deepest workings
from water, and affords perfect,
natural ventilation through all the
various workings Of the mine.

The location of this property is
ideal, being les, than one mile dis

with good wagon road ON an easy
grade leading from the mine to the
railroad and at an altitude of about
10000 feet. Timber and water for
mining and milling purposes are
abundant and also cheap fuel coal.
Taking everything into considera-
ton this is most promising par
