1t seems that the Golden smelter stock
holders hesitate at going to anv further
expense at this time, and therefore they
will have to depend upon present condi-
tions OF the ore market and the supply
available i'll their own mine, the Saratoga
in Glpin county, which the Transcript
claims is inadequate. Speaking of the
Saratoga, we are reminded that 1t was
that property which was claimed to have
stopped the driving of the great New
house tunnel some time since, simply
because the Saratoga owners refused to
agree upon working terms with the tun-
mel people. Had the Saratoga manage
ment been as far-seeing and enterprising
as the Gem and Sun and Moon people,
the big tunnel would now be boring
through the strong assures of Quartz hill
and the Saratoga and other Gilpin county
mines would be pouring their golden
treasures out of the tunnels mouth. The
wisdom of the action taken by the Clear
Creek arrangements is already apparent.
The ore reserves opened in the Gem
alone have already overtaxed the Newton
mill, one of the largest in the camp, and
as we exclusively announced last week, a
complete concentrator is to be soon
erected at the Newhouse dump capacity
1000 tons per day, over three times the
capacity of the Golden smelter.
1t may be that the Golden smelter peo-
pie will be compelled to resort to the
Newhouse tunnel after all. aud that the
great bore will be continued to its object

Important Strike in Forty States.

Manager Dan F. Mason of the Forty
States group, situated about one mile from
Freeland in the Ohio gulch section, this
week is rejoicing over the encountering
of a vein of lead ore in the crosscut tun-
mel being run to intersect the lodes of
that property The ore is solid lead in
which occures some yellow copper, and
an assay made showed the values to total
SAILS in gold, silver and lead; the value
lie chiefly in gold and lead, there being
but 3 Ia ozs silver The tunnel is in $50
feet. The vein in which the ore was
struck has been drifted upon for rs feet
As the streak is from four to ten inches
wide, shipments should be starting very
soon.
The group owned by the Forty States
Mining Company comprises some 40
claims, each named after different state
of the union. The location is in the heart
of well-known producing section, and
the future of the company is bright, Mr.
Mason is receiving the congratulations of
our citizens over this find and he is feel
ing pretty jubilant over striking some
thing good at this early period of his
operations in the Freeland district. No
doubt there will be quickening of oper-
ations all along the line from now on.

ABOUT
MINING AND
MILLING ~ II

order to learn the capacity of the new so
ton Tetrault Mill, which the Nevada peo-
pie have just accepted from the builders
We are pleased to say that these gentle
men were very well satisfied with the re-
suits of their investigation, and have
contracted to raise sufficient money to
thoroughly develop the properties, and
to increase the mill capacity to 100 tons
a day. We are certain that these gentle.
man have made no mistake in identify
ing themselves with this company. Gil.
pin and Clear Greek counties are known
the world over as consistent producers,
and as the Nevada properties are in
one of the most famous gold belts of
the world there is no reason why the
company should not be a big money
maker. Mr.. Theodore Marx of Denver,
the President, is a successful operator.
He has been for years quietly adding to
his holdings at Nevadaville, until he has
finally secured 236 acres, which includes
the water rights sufficient to allow of I2s
to treatment. A very large amount of
development work has already been done
in the Nevada mines, and we look for
this company to be enrolled among the
big producers of Gilpin county at no very
future day. We understand that this
stock is to be sold in Chicago and New
York at the offices of Emerson & Co, and
have no doubt that the public will eagerly
embrace the opportunity to invest in this
meritorious enterprise.

For the past few weeks Mr.. Harry B.
Clutches of New York, and Mr.. Harry S.
Lewis of Chicago, members of the firm

amining the properties of the Nevada
Consolidated Gold Mining and Milling
Co. located at Nevadaville. These gentle
man have had a very wide experience in
such matters, and represent one of the
largest mining brokerage houses in the
country. They spent considerable time
examining the lower workings of the
mine, and in making exhaustive assays
of the ore. They also had mill test in

Cyaniding a Pronounced Success.

The statement made by Harry McNeill
that the cost per ton for treating Wal
than ore did not exceed 81 cents for the
cyanide and other chemicals used, and
that the saving was almost perfect, in
itself is sufficient evidence that in time.
the cyanide process in this county will
be as important factor as in the Cripple
owing to the great diversity of ores in
this section and county, many properties
will not be benefited by this particular
method of extracting values, still the nu-
merous tests recently made by Messrs.
McNeill & Tanner, both in laboratory
work and in the three tanks erected at
the Boneita mill, have couclusively dem-
onstrated to them that public works con-
Quoted on much larger scale are war
ranted and will be profitable venture.
As announced IN Siftings some weeks
since, these gentlemen have for some
time been purchasing tailings from diff
ferent properties IN this district, and the
returns have been commercially satisfac-
tory. Fo: obvious reasons, the cost to
them of treatment has not been made
public. They have simply admitted that
they can go into the open market aud
purchase ores at current prices and make
money. The miner is benefited by the
saving in the freight to Denver. This in
itself is big item to large producers.
Another and important benefit follow
ing the introduction of the process here
will be the effect upon mines whose ores
are too solid for concentration and too
low in grade to smelt.

MAY Push Ahead the Newhouse Tunnel

NAV Push Ahead the Newhouse Tunnel.
The Golden smelter, which has since it
started running upon the ores of Clear
Greek and Gilpiu county received gen
erous support, is again closed down. The
Golden Transcript, in its issue of the
18th inst. states that DIR. Carpenter
claims the shutdown is but temporary
and due to the lack of sufficient ore to
keep running continuously; that the bins
are being filled again and the company is
advertising for ores. The Transcript
thinks that the labor troubles in the
Idaho Springs district and other parts of
the state cause this lack of ore, as the
mines owned by the company cannot
supply ore enough to keep the works
running some 800 tons per day.
This is interesting reading to the oper a
tors in this county, who have watched
this smelter from its completion to the
present time, and who are acquainted
with some facts in its history that may
help account for the scarcity of ore.
One fact is, that about a year ago the
Golden smelter, which was heralded as
not only going to reduce smelling charges
on low grade ores but being entirely
independent of the smelter trust, was
suddenly ordered by the latter to cease
buying certain ores in this county. This
order demonstrated at once that DR.. Car
penter was far from being independent
as he had to depend entirely upon the
American Smelling and Refining Co. for
a market for his bullion. 1t seems that
as long as the Golden smelter confined
its treatment to ores too low grade for
the trust to handle, or ores that it did
not need for huxing, it was permitted to
run along without interference; but DR..
Carpenter became too ambitious. Find
ing that his process was pronounced
success, and that he could not only treat
county at profit, he began advertising
in the Idaho Springs and Georgetown
papers, with the result that he was food
ed with ore and had to increase his
capacity" lllo ihaAlJ lSd " AhS VI dol
taking action, and the result has had not
only disastrous effect upon the smelter
but has to certain extent lessened the
profits of certain we'll known mining
companies. The Red Oak Mining CON-
pany of Georgetown, for instance, was
heavy producer of lead ore of an average
value of about $40 per ton. The manage
nent found that the Carpenter process
not only resulted in nice saving of the
values, but the cost of treatment was
very satisfactory. The trust command,
of course, closed the Golden smelter to
the Red Oak people, and that command
still holds good. Manager Teagarden of
the Red Oak company claims that his
compulsory change of market has re-
suited in loss of several dollars per ton
upon the product since shipped. This
with other instances that possibly could
be cited in this one county serves to show
there may be other causes than strikes to
account for the Carpenter works being
so often closed down for repairs, and for
the recent consideration by the company
of the advisability of still further in
creasing the capacity and adding

L. E. Tobias, formerly manager of the
Idaho Springs News for Miss Bowen, is
operating the Golden Cloud mine, situate
in Gilpin county, just over the line
Arizona parties are identified with him
in the enterprise. The main shaft,
through which the work is being done,
is $40 feet deep. Since the company
took hold of the mine, this shaft has
been put in good shape and a wiuze
raised from the third to the second level.
In this raise good concentrating ore has
been opened aud regular shipments are
being made to the local mills. The ore
is very heavy, going about two and
half into one, the crude being worth at
present about $I4 per ton, This makes
good concentrates, considering that the
streak is in the cap rock that seems to
occur in all the veins in that section.
Mr.. Tobias states that he has but light
force at work at present, but the returns
from the ore extracted as compared with
the cost have been so satisfactory that it
has been decided to sink the shaft 200
feet deeper. The mine will thus be
opened below the cap rock spoken of and
it is believed the values will be higher.
The ore in the Golden Cloud is very slim
liar to that in the Old Town.

In recent report made by Manager
Henry 1. Seemaan of the Yankee Con-
solidated Mining, Milling and Tunnel;ng
company, the following interesting data
was furnished: The new Lombard mill
is running smoothly and with very salts
factory results. AT first the batteries
worked quite stiffly, causing frequent
shut downs, but now the stamps, crush
ing department, tables, etc, are working
smoothly. The cleanups are very salts
factory. Besides the free gold on the
plates, large amount of concentrates is
accommodating and shipments TO the
smelters will soon be necessary. The
Lombard mine is stated to be getting
better all the time, good and large ore
bodies being found everywhere. The
new vein in the Manhattan tunnel is be-
ing worked under contract and is I'M
proving with development. Some good
pay is reported. The company owns over
one hundred properties and 1t is the in
tention to pay more attention to opening
up the entire group than to confning
operations to ore production from any
one claim. The object, of course. is to
open up one of the largest producing
propositions in the state.
