onably be expected a matter of fact
where they will be almost certain.
The Brighton and Dover properties
under the management of w. l.. Shaffer,
resumed work this week and will soon be
pushing along at the same speed they did
before the labor strike interfered. These
properties are practically owned by
Pennsylvania parties-the Brighton
being an old timer in the Freeland sec.
tion and the Dover is just beyond the

1t is reported that the Newhouse tun-
mel is soon to resume operations in driv-
ing the big bore to the Saratoga, and per-
I haps beyond this point. Sam Newhouse
has recently disposed of his company
holdings, or rather merged them so that
the Newhouse management is now rep
resented by a trust or syndicate. The
report of resumption has been prevalent
for some time and this item is published
simply as report. There is no way OF
confirming or denying it.
=. Manager Bradley, of the Blue Ribbon
company, is moving along in good shape
with his lease on the Gem, and making
some money out of it. The Blue Ribbon
excursion, which was to have been here
this week, will not arrive until the 10Th
of this month on account of the floods in
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa ard Missouri.
Word frcm Council Bluffs is to the effect
that one of the best excursions ever sent
out from that point would have been
ready had it been possible to have trans
ported them here, This shows that the
excursion idea promoted by Mr.. Bradley
is manifestly a good one, but the post
ponement may have the effect of dimin-
ishing the size of the crowds materially.
Good news comes to the district in the
shape of the announcement from Man
ager Simms, of the Sun and Moon mine,
that active operations will be resumed
next Monday and that the property will
be shipping again before the close of
next week. This has for the past two
years, been the heaviest shipper in the
Idaho Springs district. Its tonnage has
been a material factor and its payroll

the Sun and Moon, the Shafter and the
Big Five properties the district will be
breaking all former records.

Here is an item from the Mining Re-
porter, which gives some idea of the
value of the old dumps of the county.
S. T. Grant & Co., has taken the lease or
made the purchase of the dumps men-
toned: This firm has secured the
twelve upper dumps amounting to I5o,-
600 tons, of the Mendoza properties at
Silver Plume and is shipping the zinc
concentrates to the Colorado Zinc COM
panY. The zinc in the ore runs about
10 per cent and is concentrated to 40
per cent product. Since January I about
1000 tons have been shipped, from
which the operators have netted about
81 per ton (this includes the gold and
silver values as we'll as those of zinc.)
In the treatment of the ore two concen-
trations are made at the Idaho Springs
mills. The operators are greatly handi-
capped at present in the handling of
their ore, it being necessary to pack on
jacks from the mine to the railroad, a
distance of about 4 of mile. A I-2oo-
foot aerial tram will be built to trans
port the ore to the railroad. A. w.
Resh is in charge of the work"

The Gold King property at Yankee
continues to furnish retorts for the as
sayers and bullion buyers here. Speci-
mems from the property showing native
silver were exhibited this week in the
city. This proposition has mill of its
own and is becoming one of the most
prolific producers in that section. The
Home Sweet Home district has opened
considerable rich territory in years passed
and it begins to look now as if she would
come to the front with an even greater
development and production record.

The Star Light, owned by the Crosson
Bros, and right alongside of the Little
Richard, is producing some good values
The last run of the mill dirt brought
returns showing 81 in gold and IS ounc-
es of silver, which is fine showing con-
sidering the fact that the boys have near
ly two feet of mill ore that looks good
and according to these returns is even
better than it looks. They expect to
open up rich streak of smelling stuff,
similar to the character in the old Lex
ington, as soon as the tunnel has been
driven few feet more. The junction is
not far distant from the breast at the
present time.
