UPPER SPRING GULcH.

Lewis Perkins, local manager of the
Perkins tunnel, was in the city Tuesday
and reports matters in good shape in his
section. He has for some years been
gathering up a group of gold claims right
in the heart of a rich section, and the
development will be done entirely by tun-
mel. The group is composed of rs claims
all patented, seven of which have been
cut by the tunnel the heading of which
is 1915 feet in from the portal. 1t is the
intention to continue the tunnel the full
5000 feet, and which distance will be nee
essary to open all the veins in the group,
Driving will be resumed at an early date.
The seven veins already cut show we'll
and in themselves assure the success OF
the enterprise. of these the old Black
vein, 500 feet in, is probably the most
promising, being 22 feet wide at that
point, and as it produced fine mineral in
the old Black shaft, some $50 feet to the
east, the company thinks that drifting at
the present depth will open bonanza.
Another vein, 45o feet in from the por-
tai, is not as large, but an ore streak four
inches wide and assaying S ozs. gold and
600 ozs. silver per ton indicates splendid
values to be obtained for the working.
No drifting has yet been done upon this
vein, as it has been the previous policy of
the operators to drive the tunnel first and
exploit afterwards.
The present work carried on by the
company is in driving east upon a vein
1000 feet in. A lease was recently let to
Gus Carlson, Frank Wetherbee, Lou.
Wickstrom and George Richardson upon
block of ground upon the same vein
west. They have drifted 10 feet In
both these workings the smelling streak
varies from four to six inches IN width,
worth $40 per ton, and there is a body
eight feet wide that is low grade, but
shows values ranging from 81 to SI2 per
ton. This is of milling nature.
The company has boarding house,
I6x7o feet, an assay office 16xz4, bunk
house I6x32, engine house 25<3o, a 5-drill
compressor, operating two Leyner drills,
an So-H. P, boiler and 25-H. P. engine.

quietly 'ut p r-istently doing a lot oil
work aud daily adding to the supply oi
the coin OF the realm, 81 to speak. The
company has an excellent mill, located
JUST below the mine, AMI this has for
some time been running day and night
upon the company concentrating ore.
We are informed by the manager, J. R.
Elgan, that the dirt concentrates about
eight into one and the saving is highly
satisfactory, fully so to 90 per cent. The
material is iron, lead and copper, and
the values range from $40 to sos per ton.
The smelling ore varies from two to IS
inches in width and nets 500 per ton, the
main value being in gold, the silver in
the ore ranging only 10 to IL ounces.
The daily output of the mine is from
IS to 40 tons. This is very good, consid.
ering that over half of the men are en-
ployed upon development work and that
the ore is shipped from only one of the
workings.
The New Era is big proposition, but
it is the intention of the company to add
TO the holdings as rapidly as possible.
the group now comprises some ID claims.
The main development has been done
upon the New Era claim, upon which
there is shaft $50 feet deep, and an
adit and shaft level. The adit level is
1000 feet in length and the shaft level,
which is 200 feet deeper than the adit,
has been extended into the mountain
600 feet, Both these are being continu-
ously worked. Cross-cutting is also be-
ing carried on from the two levels spok en-
of, for the Great Western, fine vein
running ,rallel with the New Era The
manager thinks that these two veins will
come together with depth, as indicated
by the difference in the dips. This will
be determined in the course of time, as it
is the intention to again resume sinking
the shaft in the near future.
A larger plant of machinery has been
determined upon, which means contin-
ued and more extensive work.
The cross-cuts spoken of are located
near the breast of the shaft level and at
a distance in the adit level of 500 feet.
They will intersect the Great Western at
depth of $50 and 500 feet respectively,
and as there is good ore in that vein, will
add to the output of the group very
materially.
The company owns 500 feet upon the
New Era, 1890 feet lying to the north OF
the gulch and 3oop feet to the south.
The vein is one of the mammoth assures
of the Freeland district and can be easily
traced across the country. Parties
familiar with that section claim the
famous Crown, of the Lamartiue group,
is on the same vein.
In addition to the work doing upon
the south side of the gulch, there will be
something done to the north after a
while. but the policy will be to do this
from the New Era shaft, as the manager
aims at depth in all parts of the mine.
We are informed by the manager of the
Freeland Extension mine that develop.
ment work is the order of the day upon
that property, the main work being done
in the 4th level.

NEWHOUSE TUNNEL.

We notice in the daily papers that
Samuel Newhouse denies emphatically
that he will devote any of the large sum
recently realized by him from English
bankers for stock in Carrying forward
his tunnel here. The money is to be
diverted entirely to his Utah enterprise.
We regret to learn this, as the develop
meuts already made in the different
workings from the tunnel show what
may be expected were the bore continued
to the objective point-Gunnell hill. in
Gilpin county. We do not understand
that Mr.. Newhouse ceased driving his
tunnel because of lack of faith in the re-
sources of the two counties. The reason
given at the time was that satisfactory
arrangements could not be entered into
with some of the Gilpin county mine
owners who would be particularly bene-
fted. 1t is to be hoped that all parties
will get together, and thus aid in the
consummation of one of the largest and
most practical mining undertakings in
this country, The Newhouse tunnel,
although its heading is in Gilpin county,
has not yet reached the veins of that
county. The apexes of all the veins in
tersected lie in Clear Creek. So the
tunnel, if pushed forward, would simply
be entering upon the latter half or the
Gilpin county section. The country al
ready made available by the distance
traversed, the great veins cut at depth,
have proven sufficiently promising to
assure the success of the venture. Much
then, could be safely banked upon were
the great gold producers of Russell
gulch, Quartz and Gunnell hills drained
at much greater depth than the present
workings
George K. Kimball of this place and
part owner of the Old Town mine, in
Gilpin, together with Mr. Martin, owner
of the territory between the heading of
the tunnel and the Old Town, went 10
Denver Tuesday and were in conference
with Mr.. Newhouse, presumably to enter
into some arrangement that will be of
HiutuaA PiOHl 10 all concerned. / ne
properties operated by the two gentle
men named lie to the west of the heading
of the tunnel and we understand that
considerable drifting has been done from
the tunnel in that direction. While the
visit of the two parties may have
nothing to do with Mr.. Newhouse's deci-
sion to not resume driving the tunnel,
still it is no secret that the Old Town
people and Mr.. Martin are very anxious
to further the undertaking. Inasmuch
as they control a large section to the
west of the tunnel heading, and the Sar-
atoga peoble's property lies on the east
side, it is not improbable that something
may be arrived at before long.
However that may be, the fact remains
that the Old Town people have greater
development in store, and this week a
contract was let to sink the 1ooo-ft shaft
500 feet deeper, which will make it on
level with the tunnel. So, should the
heading of the great bore not be extend
ed foot farther connection with the
Old Town will undoubtedly be m ade by
drifting, and eventually all the ore
broken come out of the mouth of the
Newhouse tunnel.
