foot levels. In the 300 level there 10 also
fine body OF lead ore about ten inches
wide, which runs 800 per ton. In the
west level there is also good body Of
ore, and also in the 400 and 500 west lev
els. These levels at present are full OF
broken ore and water, and are not being
worked as the company after starting to
build the mill decided not to ship any
more ore, but to break it and then treat
it in their own mill. In the 400 east lev
el is good booy OF concentrating ore
about three feet wide. The mine is 525
feet deep, and everywhere one looks is
ore, and in working the levels several
other good veins have been cut, which
give promise of showing up we'll. At
present the pump is at the 200 level but
will be lowered to the 800, at which point
station will be made and all the water
caught there and pumped to surface.
There is a good plant'of machinery on
top enclosed in a substaL tial shaft house.
An 80 horse power boiler furnishes the
steam for the so h. p. engine and for the
pump. An so light dynamo is be-
ing placed which viii furnish light to
the mine and mill. Besides the ore an
derground there are hundreds OF tons Of
ore on top awaiting the starting Of tho
mill.
The Tucker mine was purchased few
years ago by the Lyons Kyle GIN. com
pany, the stockholders being eastern cap
italists, and William Wood, a practical
mining man, put in charge. Since that
time under his able supervision and care
full and systematic work, the mine has
been developed until it stands to-day as
making one of the best showings that
can be found in the county.
The company has also added to its
claims since that time, among which are
the Gundy lode, in the bottom Of which
is feet OF ore. The only thing remain
ing is the success of the mill, and OF this
there is little apprehension. The COM
pany is to be commended on having the
services OF MIR. Wood, who first found
the ore and then butt the mill, and not
like others who put every thing in the
surface improvements and then not find
the ore.

WORK NEARING coMpLxr1oN.


James Tierney and Louis Zuegi, who
have been at American City in tho Pine
Creek district. for the past two weeks,
returned:home Sunday. They have been
laying the foundation for an engine and
bricking in the boiler aud doing consid.
erable other masonary work In and
about the new process which the Bos-
ton Occidental company is putting in at
that place. Mr.. Tierney says that the
company now has an experimental plant
in operation which does its work to the
entire satisfaction Of the operators, and
that there is no reason why theslarger
plant will not prove successful. The
process is about the same as tho Wynn
process, which created such a furor Q
few months ago, in mining circles, and
this plant is being put in by The Wynn
process people. The ores to be treated
will be taken from the mines Of the
company at that place. They have put
in 100 horse power engine and q 80
horse power boiler. They have also re-
ceived two carloads Of tanks which will
be placed as soon as teams can got them
there. An aesay funace is to be erected
and everything arranged 10 first class
shape for the successful treatment Of
the ores. The property is being looked
after by Capt. Stedman and his son
Marshal. The plant is being erected by
Hendrie & Bolthoff Of Denver.

ORE SHIPMENTS.

The shipments of ore and concentrates
for the first week in February amounted
to 6S cars or 1869 tons. These are the
shipments from Black Hawk to- the
smelters in Denver and Golden, and the
concentrators at Idaho Springs. In our
last weeks we made an error in the num-
Der OF cars shipped, in that instead OF 80
there were 81, making total for the
month OF 1857 cars as compared to 3l7 for
the year previous.

GOOD ORE.

Bruce NJ. Meyers, manager of the
Fostoria Gold Mining company, who are
working the properties on the Hall
ranch, reports that last week very good
body OF ore was uncovered in the Sum-
init suaft at depth Of l27 feet. The ore
body is 8 feet wide and runs s23 per ton.
1t was uncovered while sinking the shaft.
Since finding the ore they have been
flooded with water and were compelled
to quit work in the shaft. A pump is to
be placed in the Summit and also one in
the Bryan shaft, which will make it easy
to hahdle all the water.
Gilpin observer., 1903-02-12

Closed and it is the intention OF Manager
Williams to rebuild the tramway from
the mineto Clear creek as quick as the
weather will permit. The Donaldson
mill which was bought by the Specie
company, will be overhauled to receive
this mineral, when it is claimed the ores
can be transported and treated for sixty
cents ton.
Don't forget the dedication ball of the
Elks week from next Monday evening.
Dominick Zancanella and Charles M.
Pishon, who are working their Fraction
lode in Russell district, this week have
been shipping ore to the stamp mills
and it is giving good results.
Free gold is to be seen in the ore re-
Gently struck in the $50 foot level Of the
East Notsway mine in Lake district,
which assays Is ounces gold to the ton.
Isaac Hall is keeping teams busy haul
ing stamp mill ore to the Black Hawk
stamp mills from his Hall mine in Rus
sell.
The work Of sinking is going steadily
forward at the Straub mine on Gunnell
hill and good body OF pay ore is being
taken out. All the dirt from the shaft is
being saved and shipped. The ore pans
we'll and shows quite little of coarse
gold, besides a good string of fine gold.
The hoisting plant recently put on is do
ing good work.
Ignass Gundy is sinking shaft on his
Tucker Extension mine in Quartz valley
district, using whip for hoisting.
A few weeks ago while prospecting
around, Henry Bolthoff Of Denver un-
covered some nice looking quartz near
the Pressler ranch on North Clear creek.
he located the claim, naming it the Yel-
low Jacket, and put some men at work
sinking. They have found good looking
quartz all the way down and at depth
OF l8 feet have fine crevice OF ore which
assays as high as s2s per ton. Barrick
Bros. have contract for further sinking
and have put up small shaft house. II
Is to be hoped that Mr.. Bolthoff will find
that the values increase with depth and
the indications are that it will.

Aunt Dorothy's Letter

Dear Children: I am going to tell YOU
something about a school which I attended
when was child, that you may compare
it with the schools Of today and decide
which you like better. -
The school in question was kept by lady
whom we called Miss Lizzie. She was
probably about forty-flve or fifty years OF
age and was lame, being obliged to walk
with crutches. The school room was the
back parlor Of her residence; in the middle
was a large square table around which the
older scholars sat. while the younger ones
sat on benches without backs Miss Lizzie
had a desk and there was another, with
very long legs. in one corner, used by the
biggest boy in school. who was also the
worst boy and a terror to the younger chill
dren. Back Of the house was long mar
row yard, having down the middle a brick
walk with a grape arbor arching over it
and a long bench under the arbor At one
side of the yard were some bushes, which
one Of the larger girls told me bore mon
keys, and most anxiously did I watch for
them to grow, only to be disappointed. for
no monkeys ever appeared.
It was Miss LiZZie's custom, when the
younger children grew restless, to let two
or three at a time go out into this yard to
play for few minutes. When they came
in others went out until all had their turn.
AS an opening exercise we recited every
morning the ten commandments, and after
each commandment sang verse which re-
ferred to 1t In some way. do not remem-
Der any of these verses, though learned the
comma ndments SO well that have not for
gotten them. We recited our lessons in
classes, standing up before the teacher
with hands clasped behind our backs, but
we had curious way Of repeating the null
duplication table, accompanied by simple
gymnastic exercises, which made the words
come out In a very jerky manner.
We had no blackboards. nor any Of the
school furnishings now considered so nee
essary. There were no pleasant short
cuts to knowledge either, such as nature
lessons and the like.
When the children had colds or headaches
Miss Lizzie gave them sugar pills, and
when they were naughty she struck them.
