The Crazy Girl Mine.

Tim Cousins, who is operating the
Crazy Girl mine, situated up Spring
Gulch, has opened up large body of al.
most solid lead ore.
The returns which have been received
are not known, but it is reported that
they are very good, and that shipments
are to be made regularly.
The ore was encountered in the breast
of the tunnel while drifting ahead along
the vein, and as distance is reached the
width increases, as we'll as do the values.
Mr.. Cousins has been operating on
this property for several months, and
during that time he has driven the tun
mel a considerable distance. All the
work is being done by hand drills.

Big Undertaking.

The following which was taken from
the Denver News will prove interesting
reading to the many people of Clear
Greek and Gilpin counties. 1t means
that the Seaton Electric company is en-
tering field of usefulness and will do
much toward furthering extensive min
ing in the two counties:
"The Seaton Electric company is pre-
pairing to branch out extensively. Both
Clear Greek and Gilpin counties are to
be supplied with electricity for lights and
power. w E. Renshaw, the manager,
today confirmed the reports that the COM
pany was interested in the Eureka Power
c ,mpany, which is to install big power
plant on South Boulder, about three
miles from Boulder. Lines are to be run
from that point to all of the surrounding
sections.
Mr.. Renshaw says that the Eureka
will also run wires to Denver and prob
ably furnish the Moffit line with cleo
tricity. The company will have a big
station on South Boulder and furnish
lights for Boulder, Central City and to
this city, connecting so that the two
plants here and the one there can be used
in case of emergency for all points. The
company will then have 10, ,ooo-horse
power, although the Seatou will only re-
quire 2,ooo-horse power, for Gilpin and
Clear Greek counties, the two plants of
that company at that place acting as
auxiliary and supplying Georgetown in
in competition with the. United Power
which now competes with the Seaton at
this place, also supplying both Gilpin
and Clear Greek county mines and piauts
Mr.. Renshaw says that the wires and
poles will be up by the first of June, ex-
cavating and preparing for the pipe line
at the power plant ia Boulder now being
under way. The Eureka will not COM
pete with the present company in Boul
der but it will sell it to the former lust as
is done by the United Power at George
town, which sells to the Cascade at this
place and the company in. Central CITY.
Mr.. Renshaw has applied for a fran
chise in Central City and Black Hawk.
having already secured one in George
town. He is now supplying mines and
mills at this place with power and when
the new duplicate lines are completed
from South Boulder will enter the mar
ket for all other mines and mills in both
counties.
The United Power is also extending its
lines and for more than year the two
companies have been furnishing lights in
Idaho Springs at discount of from so
to rs per cent, giving. cheap light for
both residence. and business houses.
The United Power is also supplying a
day circuit for mines and mills.

Golden Heela Showing.

Every day something new turns up in
the workings of the Golden Hecla, and
the indications are that this property will
develop into big producer.
A short time ago big body of ore was
opened up, and as development work
progresses it is found that the values in
crease.
Throughout the workings of the prop
erty there is hardly barren spot. In
the near future the management will be.
gin sinking the shaft for an additional
200 feet. Machine drills will be installed
and the mine thoroughly eqipped for ex-
tensive workings.
The Golden Hecla Mining and Milling
company is financed by Minneapolis cap
italists. They own eight patented claims
on Ute creek, the principal one of which
is the Silver Horn, which is being devel-
oped by tunnel which has been driven
for distance of 700 feet.

Specie Payment.

The Specie Payment, on Bellevue
mountain, is still taking out the precious
metal, and during the year just ended,
regular dividends were distributed to the
stockholders.
The company secured possession of
this property about year ago, and it is
said that the purchase price was in the
neighborhood of 5000, 900.
For the past two months the ship
ments have been rather light, but this
was on account of the improvements be-
ing made.
The mine has ore in all parts, and an
immense amount of Development work
is under way. The main shaft is being
sunk, two upraises are being made, and
five drifts are being run.
There is perhaps no mine in this dis
trict that receives as good an average on
returns from the ore as does the Specie
Payment. The milling stuff averages
about $50, while the smelling will keep
up close to $I26.

Lily Looks Well.

J. c. Sturdevant, manager of the Lily
mine up Virginia canon, has succeeded
In getting the property in good shape
and on Tuesday of this week awarded a
contract for driving a drift loo feet
Two miners from Russell Gulch secured
the contract and have already started
work. Mr.. Sturdevant has only been in
Idaho Springs few weeks, having been
sent from Cripple Greek to this place by
the stockholders of the Lily company
He is satisfied with the showing made in
the property, and it is quite probable
that the Lily will soon become pro-
ducer.
This mine was at one time good pay
er, but on account of poor management
it was closed down. The shaft has been
unwatered and new and heavy plant of
machinery is to be installed.

Additional Offices.

The Blue Ribbon Mining and Milling
company has taken additional rooms in
the Hall building and now Manager
Bradley finds it necessary to employ an
assistant in the Office The Blue Rib
bon company is a comparatively young
one, but during the last few months has
been paying dividends Of from one to
two per cent per month.
Besides operating its own properties,
Manager Bradley works on the leasing
system, and at present has lease on the
sixth level west of the Gem.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-01-24

soon as the present lift is completed
drifting will be started
In the tunnel of this property. which
is now i" $50 feet, there is good show
ing of ore. but it was decided best by the
ma agement 10 not attempt shipping for
several months.
This company is also operating the
Brighton group of mines at Freeland.
The shaft is down 25o feet and from the
200 foot station pair of levels are being
run. Levels have also been started from
the 100 foot station, and will be driven
as fast is possible.
The company have about fifteen
claims in the group, but up to the pres
ent time no shipping has been done. 1t
is the intention of the management N
this case. as in the operations being car
ried on in the Dover group to block a
sufficient quantity Of ore to insure a
steady production.
1t was decided by the stockholders and
officers of the company some time ago
that the properti would warrant the
building of a concentrating plant as the
ore was free milling This mill will be
capable of treating IS tons daily and will
be thoroughly modern and equipped
with the latest improved machinery.
AS near as can be learned work will
start on the structure in the early spring
so to have it in working order before
the summer months pass by.
Both of the plants are equipped with
the latest improved machinery, and the
showing in both is exc lent.

Machinery Working on Teller.

The Teller group of mines at Freeland
which are being operated by the Teller
Mining and Milling company, recently
incorporated by New York and local cap
italists, are now ready for the carrying on
eff extensive development work.
The machinery which was ordered
some time ago has arrived and is nearly
in place. 1t consists of 4o-horse power
boiler and IS horse power holster. The
shaft is to be sunk an additional 200 feet
and levels will be driven a greater dis
tance.
The shaft is down at the present time
ass feet and has been in ore from grass
roots. Levels have been started east and
west.
This property has produced a consider
able sum in the last few months. 1t has
been operated by leasers and they have
been shipping to the smelters and mills
regularly.
John Owen, one of the best known
mining men in the Clear Creek district,
was the owner of the property, and is at
the present time heavy stockholder in
the new company.

Strike in Old Town.

A big strike has been made in the Old
Town mine, up Russell Gulch. A body
of smelling ore one foot in width has
been opened up which gives returns of
3.45 hundred ounces in gold to the ton.
Alongside of this smelling streak there
is four feet of mill ore which averages in
the neighborhood of SI2 to the ton.
Shipments are being made to the mills
and smelters and it is stated that there is
enough ore in sight to keep up a steady
production for several months.
The Old Town has been a producer for
several years and is considered one of the
best propositions in the district. 1t is
owned and managed by George K. Kim
ball, Jr.
A large force ofmen is being constantly
worked and good amount of ore is be-
ing taken out.

STRIKE
IN THE
ARGUS
Big Body of Mineralized Quartz in Breast
of the Tunnel.

What is to all appearances one of the
big strikes of the new year, was that
uade by the Argus Mines and Tunnel
company this week.
The Argus is home company and has
been operating less than a year. During
that time the tunnel has been driven for
more than 400 feet with excellent results
number of veins have been cut, all of
which carried fair values, but the big
body of ore which has just been encoun-
tered in the breast of the tunnel was un-
expected, and therefore those interested
in the enterprise are feeling jubilant.
]. J. Hoban, the manager of the prop
erty only returned last week from trip
pany. As soon as he arrived home he
began driving the tunnel ahead as rapidly
as possible with the result that on Mon
day of this week he cut into a ledge of
present time is eight feet in width. Just
how wide this porphyry dyke is, is not
known at the present time for the reason
that it has not been fully explored 1t is
thought that they are now near a vein
and that this dyke either overlays or un-
derlays the vein. However, it will only
be matter of few days now until the
necessary development will have been ac-
complished.
The quartz is similar in formation to
that of the famous Shafter which has pro-
duced large sum in the past, and which
continues to hold its own with the best
mines in the camp. Manager Hoban is
familiar with the workings of the Shafter
and knows the ore in all its stages. He
says that he is perfectly satisfied that the
ore in the Argus will carry good values
and is already making arrangements for
the treatment of the same.
There is perhaps no mine in the entire
district which has tunnel which makes
as fine showing as does the Argus. 1t
is equipped with heavy steel tracks and
in the clear is exceptionally large.
During the past year a number of trial
shipments have been made from the prop
erty from the various veins and the re-
turns have been entirely satisfactory.

Pittsburg Consolidated.

The Dover group of mines which are
being operated by the Pittsburg Consol-
idated Mining. Milling and Tunnel COM
pauy, have started extensive develop
ment work, and as a result large
amount of ore is being blocked out which
will be sent to the new mill which will
probably be erected in the near future.
This company was reorganized a little
less than year ago and since that time
a number of additional claims have been
added to the group. The showing being
made is good one, and as a result con-
siderable sum of money is to be expended
in putting the property in good order.
Cross-cuts have been started from the
bottom levels of the Dover, in the shaft.
The shaft is now down 276 feet and as

IONS of ore is blocked out.
Leasing in Clear Creek county differs
greatly from Cripple Creek. In the for
mer the leaser generally goes down on a
vein or has pay ore in sight when he ac-
cepts lie Sc. while in Cripple Creek, in
most places, he~has to prospect for the
vein hence good many failures are re-
C 'rded The leasing system at Yankee,
in fact in Clear Greek county, is getting
to be very popular with the miners

MACHINERY
IS NOW
IN PLACE.
Old Stag Company Has Opened Up a
Body of Ore Fifteen Feet Wide.


Body of Ore Fifteen Feet Wide.
The machinery which was put in place
for the Old Stag Mining and Milling
company, was tried out on Monday of
this week, and everything was found to
work in a most satisfactory manner.
A cross-cut is being driven on the
Oneida vein. and now that steam drills
have been installed it is expected that
the bore will be pushed rapidly.
The fact has just leaked out that a
body of ore fifteen feet in width has
been opened III the shaft, and that the
returns are all that could be expected.
While there is such large body of ore,
it is mostly of the milling variety, while
he smelling is several inches in width
1t is stated that the operators of this
property have had ore for some time,
but they have been keeping the matter
quirr.
This will be good news to the mine op-
orators at Freeland, where the property
is located. as much dead work has been
done in the camp for some time How
ever a number of mines are steady pro-
iucers aud it is expected that several
important strikes will be reported in a
short time.

A Good Scheme.

The Yankee Consolidated Mining
Milling and Tunneling company, of Den
yer, has decided to lease out some of its
properties which it does not propose to
work itself at the present time. 1t has
had quite number of applicants during
the summer, but the company has not
cared very much to let leases. The con-
ditions, however, are changed now, as
the company has all it wants to do on

Lawson Notes.

Lawson is assuming an air of activity
not exhibited before in fifteen years. The
new power building for the Elephant
mountain tunnel is nearing completion,
while the preliminary work at the mouth
of the tunnel is being done by hand
work.
This tunnel will thoroughly drain Red
Elephant group of claims, which are to
be operated on an extensive scale by A.
E. Reynolds, the we'll known silver min
ing man.

Cyanide Treatment Successful.

1t now begins to look as if the ores of
Clear Creek county we're adaptable to
the cyanide treatment. Recent tests
made proved this beyond any doubt, as
nearly three car loads of sulphide ores
from the Waltham mine, gave satisfac-
tory returns.
Tests were made by H. T. Mcneil, the
cyanide expert, who has devoted many
years to the study of this treatment. The
ore was run through the stamps, after
which the tailings were deposited in the
the cyanide vats. Samplings showed
that the pulp contained 20 ounce gold
and $40 ounces silver. Although the
entire values were not saved it was due
principally to the fact that the tanks
leak and the pipes froze up ard bursted.
A brick from these tests weighing 43H
ounces was saved, the greater part of
which was silver. Assay returns on the
bullion are very gratifying, as the per-
centage of extraction is unusually good.
Upon the result of these tests depend
ed largely whether large and complete
plant would be- erected. So satisfactory
were the results that it is almost as
sured that plant will be constructed in
this district at an early date.

ARGUMENTS BEGUN.
Som. Evidence Destroyed by Witness
In Rebuttal.

Rutland. Oct. 20-After taking the time
OF the United States circuit court five
successive days the evidence in the Will
son-Clement SANDER case was declared
all III this afternoon and the arguments
were begun. The defendant put in a mass
OF evidence this morning and this after
noon. The plaintiff called a lot of witnesses
in rebuttal The defendants witnesses to-
DAY all assailed the plaintiffs chara ter
but part of this class of testimony was
Knocked down by rebuttai The case will
probably go to the jury the last part of to-
morrow afternoon.
When court opened this morning Fred
Huber of White River Junction, who was
to have driven the carriage in which Will
son was going to ride on the night of the
accident was put on the witness stand
continuing his testimony of yesterday He
testified III detail as to every move made
by Goshen, Wilson and St, John at the
time of the shooting and Immediately af-
ter. The object of this was evidently to
confuse Goshen and discredit some of his
former testimony in the jury's eyes
George II. Fuller of Hartford was the
next witness. He testified as to Wilson's
bad reputation at White River Junction
and vicinity. Questioned as to Clement s
speech at the Junction, which witness
heard, he said that the shooting was re-
ferred to as tragedy and he told of Mr..
Clements reference to the plaintiff and
the indictment just as had been done by
other witnesses.
Attorney johnson on cross-examination
made the witness admit that Mr.. Clement
said substantially Prohibition is RESPONSE
BILE for the indictment of a murderer for
manslaughter instead of for murder in
the first degree" This was practically as
alleged by the plaintiff in their declara-
ton.
Alfred e. Watson of Hartford, who was
secretary Of the republican State COM
mittee at the time Mr.. Clement spoke on
the east side OF the State, testified at
some length as to what Mr. Clement said.
His estimony conceded exactly with that
of other witnesses, He denied that the
quotation referred to above In Mr., Fuller s
testimony was used by Mr.. Clement at
White River Junction.
Angus McCauley of Wilder was the mex [
witness and his testimony was along the
