The Mason Consolidated.

S. S. Crooks of st. Paul, and D. F
Mason of Minneapolis, arrived in Idaho
Springs last Sunday to attend the annual
meeting of the Mason Consolidated Min.
ing and Milling company, and to look
after their extensive holdings in the
Freeland district. The meeting was held
last Monday evening at which time the
following officers were elected:
President-T. G. Walther, St. Paul.
Vice President-D. F. Mason, Mime

The above officers together with T. w.
Teasdale, J. Watson Smith, Oscar Hallam
F. P. Wright, c. c. Emerson and Fred
J. Bowman will constitute the board of

The most important feature of the meet
ing was the amendment of article of
the articles of incorporation, changing
the name ofthe company from the Mason
Consolidated Mining and Milling com-
pany to The Forty States Mining COM
pany. The new capital stock::was placed
at 81, 500, 900.
The company has recently acquired 80
new claims adjoining their property,
making total of 42 claims, or 2Io acres,
owned by them. A contract to prospect
portion of the property has just been
completed, and the ground looks exceed
ingly good. No time is going to be lost
in operating the property, and great
things are to be looked for.

in the Brazil mine, at the head of the
gulch in which lies the village of Free
land. The mineral is principally black
eight to fifteen inches in width. Choice
pieces, roasted in an assay furnace, are
literally coated with silver bubbles, de-
noting that very high assays are possible
but William Morgan and David Kennedy,
the owners of the property, are practical
miners and look at the commercial side
of ore bodies, so they have found by tests
that the streak as it comes out of the
mine will average $3.50 silver and 2H
ozs. gold per ton, approximately $23S a
ton at ruling quotations.
This is fine ore, over double the ave-
rage of the Georgetown mineral and
quadruple that of the Idaho Springs dis
trict, indicating that the Brazil strike is
of more than ordinary importance.
Mr.. Morgan, who with his nephew has
for a short time been prospecting the
main adit on the Brazil, while conceding
that the find is important and promises
to be permanent, has been very quiet
about it, preferring to thoroughly ex-
plot the ground and determine the size
and continuity of the ore body before
giving out much information. He states
that the streak occurs at point 200 feet
from the mouth OF the adit and in a VEN
that crosses the Brazil at an acute angle.
a diff sforfa1 ut II
streak, in very few feet opened into ore
This drift is being continued and soon
better estimate of the shoot can be made.
The Brazil group comprises I6 patented
and unpatented claims. Immediately
over the hill, to the west, lies Silver
creek, one of the richest silver sections
in the county, and on the east is Free
land with her innumerable veins of gold.
The group could not be better situated,
and the formation indicates large ore
bodies. Mr.. Morgan, who has prospected
in different parts of Colorado, states that
the headwaters of Trail run, where the
Brazil is located, are fac simile of Mar
shall basin one of the most productive
mineral regions in the state. This fact,
together with the large production of
neighboring territory, led to the acquisi-
ton of the group by the present owners.
Some years ago shaft was sunk upon
the Brazil vein and farther up the hill.
Good ore was encountered and machinery
placed for systematic development. At
depth of something over 100 feet, how
ever, pump was found necessary to con-
troll the flow of water, which soon over
taxed the engine, and the work was
abandoned at that point, the idea being
to start and run drift from point down
the hill and thereby drain the shaft The
drift was run some 400 feet.
All the work upon the group so far has
been of superficial nature, but three
shoots of ore have been encountered,
indicating that with deeper and more
extensive workings a steady production
is assured. All the ore thus far opened
is high grade.
