was incorporated Aug. Is last as the
Great Divide Mines company. and
which consist Of forty claims and frac-
tons, embracing in all over 500 acres.
This property has a magnificent show
ing Of lOW-grade ore, and for the past
five years the ground has been exploit
ed in systematic way The upper tun-
mel is in some 240 feet, and several
small inclines have been run down from
the surface TO determine the dip of
veins, etc.
At the lower or main working tunnel
I bunk houses. blacksmith and carpen-
ter shops. tunnel house, trotters and
ore bins. Three shifts or more viii be
employed throughout the winter in
both tunnels, and it is believed suffi-
cient ore viii be developed by spring to
warrant the erection Of a large con-

tunnel. This tunnel is now in over 500
feet and is expected to soon intersect

practical standpoint. At one time
it was nicely equipped with cabin and
blacksmith shop, but these are now in
