MIN III i
This week the Tanner & Mcneil eva
nide mill received 50 tons Of Waltham
ore for treatment.
Local surveyors are rushed with work
right now. showing gratifying activity
in mining circles.
Lewis Oliver is working the Nashville
mine, Russell district. under lease and
bond, and is developing the property.
Up in block four east in the Edgar the
ore uniformly runs two ounces Of gold to
the ton-f4o-and the leasers hope to do
better than that
l.. r. Fry, who is operating his WEIGH
group. on Leavenworth mountain. is
making regular shipments of concentra-
ting ores to the Idaho Springs mills.
Angus Mcleod was in the city last
Saturday. In speaking of his showing in
the Champion Dirt. he very cautiously
admitted that the indications were good
for an oldtime pocket.
Scott Criswold is doing some work
upon his property near the Idaho tunnel
and confidently expects an ore body that
will keep him and the Elder in comfort
for many years to come.
The Wisconsin mine, owned by John J.
White g. Co. and which last year was =
shipper of very rich ore, will soon be
outputting again. AS good ventilation has
been secured and mineral opened.
The Centennial mine, at Georgetown.
lately sold by David Kennedy to Boston
capitalists. is steadily producing. 1t is
now proposed to sink a new shaft near
the mill. to save the trouble and cost Of
tramming.
lanes Mullis has concluded to patent
his gold property, situated near the Specie
Payment and on the west slope OF Belle
vue mountain. 1t is too good PROPOSE
ton to lie idle, and no doubt something
will be doing before long.
John Morgan is doing some work upon
the Harrison group, Trail run, and If is
whispered in financial circles that he is
getting out a fine shipment Of gold ore.
The group has plenty of ore in sight and
is capable of large production.
The Last Chance mine, Silver creek, is
to have a larger pump installed. after
which sinking will be resumed. 1t is
reported that ore running as high as 7
ozs. gold per ton shows in the bottom of
the shaft.
William Mitchell. formerly of the firm
of Gleim, Sackett g. Mitchell, ore buyers
at this place. but who is now manager of
the Chamberlain Dillingham; sampler at
Breckenridge, has taken lease on the
Double Standard lode in that camp and
expects to harvest fortune.
It has been definitely decided to make
an upraise upon the Edgar vein as soon
as cut by the Central tunnel. This will
be of great benefit to the property, as it
will thoroughly ventilate the upper
workings and permit all ores to come out
of the tunnel. saving in time and ex-
pense.
We learn that R. C. vidler has in con-
temptation some mining operations upon
a Freeiand property, work to be CON-
menced very soon. While at present he
is confining his attention principally to
his extensive interests at Lawson and in
East Argentine, he still banks heavily
upon the great resources of the golden
district surrounding Freelaud and Lam
artine.
Tom Ellis, who at present is employed
at the Teller mine, made hasty visit to
this city last Monday. He stated that it
was rumored at Freeland that it was the
intention to resume operations upon the
Brighton mine in the near future. Mr..
Ellis also stated that John and William
O. Jones were finding a marked improve
