us that this act OF the railroad company

y MINING NOTES. y

tor. of March II. Il will be good news
to many people who have invested in the
proposition and shows that failure is not
always permanent with mining proposit-
ions. With this enterprise successfully
on its feet the district would have an
other of the "big ones" under way. The
inquiry and matter follows:
Can you give me any information about
the United States Tunnel, Mining, Mill
ing, Drainage & transportation Co., in
corporated under the laws of the state of
West Virginia and whose stock certi6
Gates are signed in New York, some be-
ing dated April, 1899. and the date of the
Incorporation, 1862 The president ap-
pears to be E. A. Quintard; the secretary,
Home A. Hart. The property is located
near Idaho Springs, Colorado.
Ans: This company was organized
about eight years ago for the purpose of
driving tunnel from Idaho Springs,
Colo, under the mines of Russell Gulch,
the terminal of the tunnel being practi-
cally the same as that of the Newhouse,
although the entrance thereof is over a
mile further up Clear creek. This COM
pany drove its tunnel in about 700 feet,
when, being unable to pay for the work
done, its property became forfeited and
eventually fell into th- hands of Phillip

Restaurant
Man Has a
Big Meal.
Mine Host Page Has Not Only Good
Grub Bot Good Gold as Well.

Proprietor Page of the Saddle Rock
restaurant has shown the world that a
man can get up good meal three times
a day and at the same time prospect for
the precious metal. He has 900 feet on
one of the big veins bucking up against
the endlines of the Columbia and between
the Beaver and the famous Matte. The
property is surrounded by some of the
richest producers in the district.
The Matte, just over the hill. is prob
ably the heaviest producer of ore in the
district today. On the North is the Stan
ley aud on the East the Beaver, Washing
ton and other properties that have pro-
duced good showings of the precious met
al.
Mr. Page succeeded in obtaining a
good show on the property and took ad-
vantage of the opportunity. AS result
he now has vein that will assay $I2. so
across nearly six feet. This does not

Eastern Parties Well Pleased.

Several Eastern parties have visited
the camp recently and wherever they
have been afforded an opportunity to
measure the resources and possibilities of
the district they have departed more than
pleased. AS matter of fact it is pretty
good condition of affairs existing here at
the present time. 1t is impossible in any
reasonable course to picture conditions
better than they are. The business men
are doing good business, the mines are
opening up in good shape and the hotel
is still the crying need. AS soon as this
begins to loom up on the horizon our cup
ofjoy will be filled to overfowing.

Splendid Group OF Claims and Progress of Kind


within the next 200 feet from present breast
of bore. About 800 feet further the Bellman
lode will be cut, from which over fifteen thous-
and dollars has been taken from its surface
workings. The policy of this com pany in
sures to them a most economical system of
operating and the result of their work now
being pushed at record breaking speed must
prove of inestimable benefit not only to the
company but to the entire district, as a large
amount of unknown well as known terri
tory in ellison gulch will be opened by this
cross-cut and many veins as yet undiscovered
will be undoubtedly added to the producing
list of the district.
The Gem Extension and Freighters
Friend lodes will be cut by this tunnel and
their output above the Newhouse tunnel level
will be worked through it.
Mr.. c. A. King is the manager of the COM
pany and is pushing the tunnel at the rate of
six feet per day. Theodore Grasser at the
machine throttle and A. Prince helper, makes
a team that breaks the record of the district
on cross-cut work. AS soon as the veins are
cut the Virginia canon road will be extended
up Butter Milk gulch and the Gibson gulcb
haul will be shortened by ~ miles and the
cost of delivering ore to the mill and the rail-
road will be reduced from ST 90 to so cents
per ton. This in itself will be saving to the
operators of that section of over S1OO per
day.

of in the East.
Manager Goldsmith, of the Seaton,
has returned from Philadelphia and will
remain in the city a couple of weeks be-
fore returning to his Office in Philadel-
phia. He reports that Clear Creek prop
ositions are well thought of in the East
and states that the district will come to
the front even more than it has in the
past before the present season is over.
while it seems good to get back" he
remarked, yet believe there is whole
lot of truth in the statement that fellow
feels as if he was among friends in Phil
adelphia. That is great city and the
people there like Idaho Springs as a
place for the investment of capital in
mining. Mr. Elwood and myself have
done we'll since we opened the office
there and will do all we can to bring the
district to the front and give people some
idea of its resources and possibilities"
We are glad to learn of these gentlemen
meeting with such great success.

Mixsell, mining man of Idaho Springs.
Considerable stock was sold in the East
about six or seven years ago. The prop
osition has been idle for the past five
years. Mr.. Mixsell says that this COM
pany has been recently reorganized, and
is on its feet again; that it has secured an
option from him upon all of its former
holdings, consisting of the tunnel above
mentioned, one patented claim and sever
al locations. The company will not own
this property, formerly held by it, until
II pays the purchase price thereof to Mr.
Mixsell, amounting to about Sis,
At the present writing it has not paid any
OF this purchase price. 1t is reported in
Idaho Springs. we understand, that the
company is selling stock in the East, and
when sum sufficient to purchase back
its property and drive the tunnel to a
point where 1t ought to reach paving
veins is obtained, it will then begin oper-
atlons. The location OF the tunnel is
good, and the section of the country to
be cut by 1t contains some very valuable
mining properties. The future of this
proposition is as bright as the average
tunnel proposition, with a good mining
section before it.
The entrance of the Big Five Com
pany's central tunnel cannot be over a
half mile from the mouth of the U. S.
Tunnel, and both are mining practically
for the same place, the Central tunnel be-
ing in operation and several hundred
feet in advance of the U. S.

D HE Memphis & Idaho Springs Gold
~ Mining and Milling Company have
been in operation in our district for
several years past but have been conducting
their business so quietly that but little atten-
ton has been given to them and no one out
side of their management have any knowledge
of the extensiveness of their operations This
quiet was maintained on account of their ap-
plication for patents being in suspense, now
these being settled they do not object to Civ
ing to the mining public the details of their
business.
Since beginning operations about three
years ago they have bought, located, and pat
ented twelve claims in Gibson gulch which
covers all the ground between the Gem Ex-
tension and Sun and Moon locations, a dis
tance of 500 feet north and south and about
5000 feet east and west They have bought
from the Hiatt Bros. two claims in Seaton
Mountain and also bought the right to extend
the Tropic tunnel from its present breast
through their Seaton Mountain claims and
also their Gibson gulch property. These
veins will de cut by the tunnel at depth of
about 700 feet which have been proven to be
the depth in which the best values have been
found.
Their Seaton Mountain claims has a shaft
about 100 feet deep from which over one
thousand dollars net has been taken with al
most no drifting; this vein will be encountered

average of the entire proposition.
He is working prudently and cautiously
and shipping some of the stuff along as
he takes it out. During the summer at
tending to the property and the Saddle
Rock will consume his time and for that
reason he has leased his summer hotel at
Troutdale and will enjoy little rest along
with the development of the mine.
Since the property has been opened up
with such splendid showing he has re-
ceived fiattering offers and believes he is
in position to make the most of a gen.
uine good bargain and good all round
proposition.
He has driven the tunnel seventy-five
feet so fariand expects to continue slowly,
saying such ore as will pay to ship-and
that means practically the entire output
from the breast of the tunnel.
1t is such evidences of success as this
that will bring the district to the front.
Mr.. Page has proceeded quietly, saying
nothing to ANYBODY until he had every
thing in good shape.
