The Elk Mountain pilot., 1903-02-24

In lasts weeks PILOT appeared
an article in regard to the Augusta
property, taken from the Evening
Telegraph. The following, dealing
with the Black Queen company is
continuation of the same:
Another Gunnison proposition
that has done well is the Black
Queen Gold mining company oper-
ating in the immediate vicinity of
the Augusta company. This Is a
promotion of the Standard COM
pany. 1t owns almost all the prop
erty on Cascade mountain adjoin-
ing Augusta mountain, embracing
nearly 200 acres. The Excelsior
vein which originates in the Mas
cot lying in Poverty gulch passes
southwesterly up the mountain
side througth the Yankee Blade,
the Excelsior, the Croibhailien
and is lost in the draw between
Cascade and Richmond mountains.
1t has proven to be continuous all
this distance, by a series of shafts
sunk every 80 feet and by open
cnts The vein parallels the Au-
gusta and shows as strong and as
valuable as the former The
Black Queen company is running
tunnel to cut the ore shoot open
ed by "Yank" Baxter which will be
done at l 100 feet. The tunnel is
in $50 feet and double that dis
tance will put it under the Excel
sior ore shoot. 1t is believed by
the operators that the Black Queen
will have as large producer in this
property as the Augusta will prove
to be. AT the present time, at a
point 300 feet in from the portal of
the tunnel, a body of galena %
inches wide giving high grade
values has been cut, this being a
cross vein, outcropping on the
northeast slope of Cascade noun
tain. The crop shows some 1000
feet in length crossing the Cincin-
natl group on each side of the
Yankee Blade, so that there will be
over 800 feet of this vein in the
Black Queen ground. The work in
this tunnel is being carried on
with drills, the power being fur
nished through connections with
the Augusta main air line. The
showing for this property is indeed
great and the operations of this
concern together with that of the
Augusta may be counted upon as
among the most important of the
year in Gunnison county. The
Standard Mining Investment Co.
consists of eight men, officers of
Augusta and Black Queen COM
panies, they are: Tilden r.
French, Cincinnati, o., president;
c.. l.. Arzeno, Denver, Colo, vice
president and general manager;
l.. H. johnson, Denver, Colo, as
sistant manager; j. A. Small, Pu-
eblo, Colo, secretary and treasurer;
A. c. Weiss, Cincinnati, o.; G. j.
Larson, Charleston, S. c.; Fred
Koehler, Jr,, Cincinnati, o., and

Irwin.

There is strong probability
that the deal SO long pending
whereby the Forest Queen, Ruby
King and Gem properties, also the
mill, power plant and water works
were to 90 into one consolidation
will soon be consummated. Better
opportunities for the operations of
a strong syndicate are rarely af-
forded than found here in this pro-
position. The great Forest Queen
fissure vein and its extensions have
at their comparatively shallow
workings already furnished over a
million dollars in gold and silver
values. The vein is opened for
several thousand feet in length and
shows the same high grade ore in
all the workings. Doubtless.
larger bodies of richer ore exist at
greater depths and will remain un-
til some strong corporations shall
organize and go down after the
precious metals. The properties
are admirably located, being less
than two miles distant from the D..
e. r. G. r. r. and a switch could
be extended to the mill and mine
dump at normal cost. Two water
lines are already laid for milling
and power purposes from the res
ervoir up above the town of Irwin.
Several thousand tons of ore has
been milled with excellent results.
The property is already equipped
with two excellent hoisting plants
good for thousand foot depth and
ore production could be started on a
large scale as soon as the mill could
be repaired and put in shape to
handle. the output. The concen-
trates obtained from treatment of
the milling ore, are worth several
hundred dollars per ton while there
is little or no values remaining in
the tailings. To the company or
ganizing and operating this prop
osition ON a proper and systematic
basis there can be no other than
successful results.
An effort will made to resume
operations on the Ruby Chief
properties during the coming sea-
son. 1t is understood that the
parties holding the lease and bond
have not lost faith in the property
and may yet take up the bond be-
fore the same expires in which
case they will doubtless resume
operations and go forward with
their original plan of develop
ment and build a large concen-
tration plant for the handling of
the many thousand tons of milling
ore lying ON the dumps and ex-
posed in the surface and other
workings of the properties.
1t is only a question of time
when old Ruby camp will come to
the front, her mines are scarcely
prospected at the surface as yet
and development is only needed
to prove their value and perman-
ency.

A novel Jail is located near Cliff
ton in Graham county. Arizona.
The town is in valley, at one side
of which is hill composed almost
entirely of quartz rock. The Jail
was made by blasting out compart-
ments in this hillside. There are
four cells, each large enough to ac-
commodate several prisoners, holes
were made in the hillside to admit
air and light. These, as well as
the door, which was merely large
enough to admit one man, were Sc
cured by steel bars about an inch
in diameter, driven into the holes
in the rock and cemented. The
stone which was blown out was
used for the construction of wing
for the accommodation of the sher-
iff and his officers. In order to en-
ter the Jail one must go through
this vestibule. and as it is divided
into two parts. In order to escape,
prisoner would be compelled to
pass through three barred gstes
The cells are not finished nor fur
nished inside the rough rocks be-
ing left as the blasting left them,
but they are dry and comfortable.
AT the thinnest place, the walls
are six feet thick, SO the Jail is fire
tkxoof as well as secure.

BAMBOO AND MATING TABLE.

Bman rugs ~Ia1d over nne1y polished wood exhibit the acme of coolness; but with uneven boards beyond the help of paint or varnish an entire covering is almost compulsory. The wool filling so well known has a cheaper rival now in a cotton filling. Terra cotta is pretty color to adopt where a brick chimney is in evidence, and sage green is dependable for its assimilative nature, looking, perhaps, its best with yellow woodwork.
 Furniture of a heavy, ornate type should be replaced by lighter styles during the warm weather. Even few pieces of the latter kind will assist in giving a pleasant relief in the sultry days. A rattan lounge is useful both upstairs and downstairs, and its light weight enables 1t to be easily shifted from one part of the house to an other. A mattress of hair or cotton felt and plenty of pillows of feather, down and hair should be made.
 Willow chairs are made in many fancy styles, some with baskets at the side for sewing work or magazines others with head rests and bookshelves attached. The first cut shows a stand ard shape in this material.
 A table that can be easily moved is s l necessity in the summer, as 1t is ofteI wanted out of doors. The second cut shows a bamboo and mating table, { combination especially adapted to the 1 country home.
