In reply to subscriber at Charlotte, N.
C.: The above company, operating in
Idaho Springs, Colo, is favorably regard
ed locally. The Miners Stock Develop
ing company, which is handled by this
hrm, owns a group of claims on
Mineral mountain. two miles up Soda
Creek from Idaho Springs. These claims
are being developed by the Nebraska
tunnel, on which work is being pushed.
The tunnel is designed to cut the Lex
ington vein at great depth, viz: / 400
feet vertically. A streak of ore was re-
Gently cut in the course of the tunnel,
from which assays of over fIoo were OBJ
tanned. 1t is not claimed that the COM
pany's property is as yet anything more
than prospect upon which they appear
to be doing honest work in the way of
development. Title to the property is
said to be perfect, and the company is
said to be clear of dept and to have
money in the treasury.-The Mining In-
ves.or.

IN pushing the deepest level east, and in
50 doing he Is passing through a mineral
body that shows steady and gratifying
improvement. The riches, float ana sur
face ore of the Charter Oak has been
found quite distance east of the main
shaft, and those conversant with that
property. with not only the developments
but the surface indications for hundreds
OF feet along the fat, have always held
that one of the largest and richest bodies
OF ore in the district would eventually be
opened there. So the chances are. if the
tunnel cuts the Charter oak vein, it will
result in the Inauguration of extensive
and profitable mining operations in that
property alone. However. the tunnel
people have some fine property as well.
and the total territory that can thus be
exploited means much for Ute creek.

Increase In Ore output.

"The receipts of ore this month for
treatment at our works exceeded those Of
last month by 26o tons-about 20 cars"
said Manager Wiley of the Chamberlain
Dillingham; sampler, Tuesday night.
This is an indisputable evidence that
something is doing in the Idaho Springs
district. Not only that; times are picking
up and business necessarily will feel the
stimulating effects from now on.
The deadening effects of the strike of
last February were very apparent until
the organization of the citizens league
enabled the Sun and Moon, Shaffter and
other boycotted mines to re-start and
resume ore shipments. The operations
since at mines and mills have gradually
improved, and the report of Mr.. Wiley
shows that the improvement is becoming
more pronounced each month.
That the improvement is permanent, a
natural growth in ore production
through the new properties opened and
the greater development that has marked
the past year or so, is assured, And
when the results begin to come in from
the Lucania, Central Monarch and many
other tunnels that are eating their way
into the numerous rich belts in the dis
trict, there is bound to be an increasing
output.
In this connection, we may state that

w. II. Maxton came down from the
Charter Oak mine last Monday and feels
more and more encouraged with opera
tions in his particular portion Of the dis
trict. The good progress that has been
recently made in the Burns Moore tunnel
is stimulus to every o.her enterprise in
the district, As it indicates that the man.
agement and the shareholders in that
enterprise are determined to penetrate
that rich section az rapidly as money,
6rst-class men and machinery can do it.
Mr.. Maxton. whose years of experience
as mining man and engineer constitute
him a high authority, states that the
excellent water power owned by the
Burns-Moore ard which has been driving
the machinery at the tunnel, can be
speedily and economically supplemented
by steam. The loss in time in driving
the tunnel ahead would probably not
exceed two weeks. That such step will
be taken by Manager Smaller is very
probable. as he is greatly encouraged by
recent events and showiugs at the tunnel
and naturally wishes to penetrate as soon
as possible the Ella Mckinney and other
good veins to which the company has
acquired title. At the rate that the con-
tractors have been going into the noun
tain. it will not take many months for the
Burns. Moore to reach the Ella chimney
group, which at present is the farthest
property up Ute owned by the company.
The depth attained will be about 1000
feet. and this will naturally enable the
owners to open up large blocks of their
own ground and have years of produc-
ton in prospect, even though the tunnel
driving should stop right there. How
ever, the original intention of the Burns
Moore promoters was to run clear to the
divide that lies between Ute and Silver
creeks, crossing on the way well-known
producers, such as the Charter Oak,
Humboldt, Ouida, Argonaut and Lamar
tine. Even il the company did not pur-
chase any of these properties, no doubt
the owners thereof would gladly work
their properties through the tunnel, pay
ing therefor reasonable royalty.
1t is this feature in particular that
arouses so much interest among the
different property owners in that region.
Outside the great benefit to the camp
through the exploitation of the big fis-
sures at depth, the shortening of the road
to market cuts no small figure, and must
lead to the success of the transportation
feature.
Relative to this, Mr.. Maxton is exhibit
ing lively interest and stands prepared
to do his part by the tunnel. His prop
erty, the Charter Oak, lies but a short
distance above the Ella Mckinney group,
requiring but few more feet of driving.
The line of the tunnel runs about 500 feet
east Of the working shaft of the Charter
Oak, and it is Mr.. Maxton's purpose to
run his deepest level east and then con-
meet with the tunnel. In line with this,
his principal work of late has consisted

is evidenced by the number Of teams
employed in Transporting the product to
the company's mill and the local sam
pier.
In a mining way, this gulch is active.
perfect stream of ore being daily sent
to the Idaho Springs mills by the older
producers. and the newer properties
working give promise Of many good re-
suits when past the development stage.
William +. Hewitt. for the past year
employed as trammer at the Gem, is
about to start on a trip to Ohio. The
attraction is a certain young lady in the
city of Cleveland. Following his arrival
there. wedding will take place and the
pair will proceed to Phoenix, Arizona,
their future residence.
The Galatea mine is n ow 200 feet deep
and sinking is continuous. This prop
erty some time since made quite a stir
by opening into pocket of gold nuggets.
1t is thought that when the development
determined upon is completed. the Gala
tea will be producer of a very fine grade
of ore
A visit to the Silver Age these days
gives one some idea of the magnitude and
riches of the con solidated properties now
owned by the Gem company, as the
Franklin and Silver Age leasers, many
of whom work through the Silver Age
adit, have every plat and available space
full of ore. Both these properties never
looked better and, under the energetic
management of Mr. Renshaw, the shaft
will continue to penetrate the riches be-
low.
The Freuch Flag, which for some time
has been simply keeping the water out,
will very likely soon be working full
blast, and Steve Harper, the foreman, is
daily expecting telegram to that effect.
President Purdon Of the company was
here last week on quiet tour of inspec-
ton, and in all probability the French
Flag will be worked with greater vigor
than at any time in its history. Now that
the Silver Age is actively working below
the gulch level, the water problem at the
Flag will have been to a great extent
eliminated and thus the ore bodies in the
lower workings can be pro6tably mined.

The big mill Of the Terrible company,
at the Plume, was to start up this week.
1t is complete in every particular and its
successful operation means the placing
of the Terrible and other mines of the
group among the best shippers of the
county. The Catrens are to be highly
commended for enlisting capital in this
enterprise and for the excellence of the
milling and mining plans.
The Rand mines are yielding now
about two-thirds the amount that they
did prior to the Boer-English war. The
yield in August was 77,ooo ounces. or
about 81 400, 900, or nearly SIS,
per annum. By another year, when all
the mines are being worked, the old fig-
ures will probably be reached, but it will
require q generation to get hack what the
war cost in money, to say nothing Of the
lives that went out in the struggle.
