Yankee Mine Float.

large tunnel proposition that has
been budding for some time add now
to blossom in the early spring is that of
the 'Ninety-four Tunnel company. A
new tunnel level has been surveyed by
them cutting Yankee Hill at 45o feet be-
low their present tunnel level, and with
this end in view they have been buying
in nearly all of the property along their
proposed line. This new tunnel is said
to be projected from Alice to above the
Texas mine, on which they are said to
hold an option. The tunnel will cut at
great depths such well known veins as
Little Nugget, Ivenness, Last Chance,
Esseon, Old Stonewall and Texas.
Considerable ore body of good value is
exposed in the Last Chance mine owned
by Judge Joyce. which will probably be
worked extensively this summer by
leasers. AT the breast there is a solid
streak of ore some two feet in width of
sulphide, running we'll in gold, silver and
a paying per centage of copper.
Two shifts are steadily employed on
Mayfower tunnel, with a good footage
monthly. 1t is expected that the Puritan
vein will be cut by the first of August
next.
Kinney & Co. are preparing to do some
big working on their White Tale vein
during the year. A hoisting plant will
be purchased and other improvements
made. They have considerable ore in
sight and hope to have their mine shape
to meet the coming railroad with good
production. This is only one of many
mines that resumes work on the surity of
shipping facilities and market for their
product.

recently been built on this property that
has a capacity of several thousand tons
of mill dirt. These bins have been de-
signed looking toward convenience in
handling their product when the mill is
built, and the whole will be most COM
plete arrangement.
A great deal of the dump from this
mine will be milled, if not the greater
part of it. 1t has been thoroughly sam
pied and proven of values varying from
81 to SI2 per ton. From the develop
ment work now being done they are rails
ing from s to 20 tons of ore daily. No
waste rock is being broken in the shaft,
and the mine is now almost in shape to
guarantee an output of 100 per day for
several years without any farther very ex-
tensive development.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-21

E. A. Reynolds, leasing on the Cham
pion, has opened up nearly inches of
S-ounce ore with some 20 inches of mill
dirt worth over $40 per ton.
Work is to be started on the Bully tun-
mel in the spring. This proposition will
probably be in shape to make consider
able production shortly as it is reported
that capital is about to become interested
and machinery purchased. The tunnel
is one of the best located in camp and
enters at the foot of Highlonesome cliff,
and gains vertical depth of 1000 feet in
less than that distance. The tunnel
opened up pay ore in less than SO feet or
in one month from the time it was first
started.
1t is believed in camp that a strong
company is soon to take hold of the Alice
mine and work it on scientific principles.
If reports can be believed this would
mean large smelter for the camp with
several thousand men employed.

MINING NOTES.

In sinking the shaft at the Pioneer
mine, Dumont, it is reported that a solid
streak of ore running $500 in gold to the
ton has been encountered. The same
people are sinking the shaft on the Milton
mine and overhauling the machinery at
the Pioneer mill. A system of cyaniding
the shines is to be tested.
The largest plant of machinery in the
county is being placed at Lawson by the
Commodore company for the Red Ele-
Phant property, recently acquired by E.
A. Reynolds and d. H. Moffat, of Den
yer. 1t is their intention to drive long
cross-cut tunnel to drain the mountain of
its water, and afford cheap system of
mining the great silver-bearing lodes of
the district
The New Era company in drifting on
the Great Western vein at Freeland has
opened up wide body of ore and this
is being hauled to the company's mill,
which will be started soon. The company
is working air drills in the adit, and for
over 1000 feet has some ore with occa-
sional bodies of smelling. The shaft on
Great Eastern claim will also be sunk
and drifts extended into this and the
Western ground. The proposition is a
large and promising one.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-21
The Gold Anchor Mine.

Better ore still continues to be found in
this mine as greater depth is gained. The
ore body or shoot has now been sunk on
for over I5o feet since first struck in the
shaft, and the vein is now all of feet
all of which Is pay ore. There is from
to feet of the smelling streak that
will sample $50 to 500 per ton and over
4 feet that is believed will average up 10
SIS and $40. A concentrating mill to
handle 100 tons of ore per day is now
being planned and will be built during
the summer. The ore will concentrate
about four -into-one. giving it high mar
ket value. A station will be cut at the
$50 foot point, when sinking will be re-
sumed and levels run both east and west
on the ore body, preparatory to putting
the mine in shape for heavy production.
A contract for $50 feet will soon be let
on the tunnel level, which will open at
considerable depth an ore shoot recently
found on the surface, and some 28o feet
west from the shaft, When this ore
body is reached a Wine will be sunk on
the shoot and connected with the shaft
by lower levels, thus insuring good air
throughout the mine besides opening up
large blocks of ore for stoping.
Strong and extensive ore bins have

Heavy Machinery for Orc Verde.

Probably the most promising work be-
ing done in camp is hat of the Orc Verde
company. A large plant of machinery
will be placed on this property in the
spring, consisting of an eight-drill COM
pressor, exhaust fan and electric lights,
sufficient to drive their tunnel for an ad-
ditional distance of two miles. This tun-
mel bore will gain great vertical depth
through part of the camp yet but little
prospected. Some of the richest "foat"
found in the district has been discovered
along the line of this tunnel survey,
which also extends through a territory
traversed by large porphyry dykes and
mineral veins. This belt of large veins
will be cut at depths varying from 900
to 800 feet, and which now lay in an
inaccessible section. The proposition
is greatest in promising an inexhaustable
ore field.

ALICE, Colo. February II.

What one might call a big strike has
tunnel on the King Solomon vein, now
being worked under a sub-lease by John
Vergon; and which promises to become
one of the richest producers of the camp.
Mr.. Vergon took lease on a block of
ground about a month ago and started
sinking on an 8 inch streak of ore of
about $40 value. In less than eighteen
shifts or at depth of only ID feet he
seems to have opened a large body of
high grade ore together with consider
able mill dirt, A sample test of the vein
here shows some IS inches of ore that
will average better than ounces per ton
while pick samples can be gotten that
will run up into the thousands. OF the
mill dirt there is over 3 feet that samples
better than S25 per ton. and is a good
concentrating proposition. At this point
is shown nearly 5 feet of ore that will
concentrate fve-into-one-makin a pro-
duct of very high grade and one desirable
to the smelters.
shifts that he has mined and placed on
the dump over $500 worth of ore, aud
which will net him something over $500
after all royalties and costs are paid. He
will continne sinking on this ore body
until two or three levels can be gained
when stopping will be started and carried
on with large force.
The Sierra Nevada tunnel is almost in
the center of the district, and though
the King Solomon vein was cut at only
50 feet in vertical depth, considerable
ore has been mined and marketed which
has shown that the ore bodies and values
continue to grass roots The cross-cut
has been driven ahead of the King Solo
mon vein some 400 feet and the owners
are expecting to cut their New York vein
at almost any shot at depth of over 900
feet vertical But the tunnel will be con-
tinued for distance of at least 900 feet,
at which point their Washington vein
will be cut at depth of nearly 500 feet.
The New York and Washington veins,
belonging to this company, are shown on
the district, aud the surface ores here
found have proven to be of milling value.
In the early days of the camp many tons
of the ore of these two veins was picked !
up from the surface and hauled into
Black Hawk with paying returns. The
tunnel bore when driven ahead will cut
some of the best mines of the camp
at great depths-as much as 1900 feet of
vertical depth being obtainable, being
one of the deepest surveyed in the dis
trict.
The management of this splendid prop |
erty is figuring Oh mill to use either the |
cyanide process or concentration. Tests !
on the ore are now being made in Denver
with this object in view. There is GER
tainly sufficient ore bodies in sight to
warrant the building of Ioo-ton mill on
this property.

MONARCH
MAKES
STRIKE
A Large Vein Of Mineral Has Been Cot at
Great Depth That is Likely to Prove
Worth Many Millions.

What may prove to be worth many
millions in ore values, and certainly the
most important discovery made during
the year has been made at the Monarch
tunnel.
This big bore has just cut into three
feet Of ore from the hanging wall with
no indications of reaching the foot wall
of the vein, while the entire breast of the
bore is in ore. 1t will necessarily be some
time yet before the full extent of the
vein can be learned or the real value of
the discovery even estimated, though as
far as opened up the ore shows to be of
paying milling values. The vein was cut
at vertical depth of nearly 1000 feet and
about $500 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel, so 1t can even now be estimated
that there is a large tonnage in sight
enough to make a large production as
sured for years 1t is believed that
much higher grade of ore will be found
on the foot wall when it is reached. The
indications are that the vein will prove
to be very large one. The character of
the ore is a sulphide carrying values in
\ gold, silver, copper and iron, similar to
the ores of the Freeland district, and will
concentrate easily with little or no loss.
Manager McClelland has piece of the
ore weighing over 200 pounds on exhibit
tion at his office which shows some grey
copper indication, and which is a beauti-
full specimen of peacock copper and iron,
and will also convince any old miner that
strike" has been made. Manager Nc
Clelland, while very conservative in his
estimates, is fully alive to the importance
of his discovery, and feels assured that
the Monarch has a great future-even
a grester one than he will boast of.
The strike was rather an unexpected
one and is what miners term "blind
lead, !" as the vein was not first discovered
on the surface. In fact the vein is locat-
ed in part of the district that prospectors
and mining men have passed over as
being way off" of the mineral belt.
and the find will bring into prominence
large field in which to work.
| The Monarch tunnel was located some
three years ago by Mr.. McClelland to
drain the Freeland mines to the level of
Clear Greek. He was successful in in
teresting Colorado Springs and eastern
capitalists in his enterprise, and the
enterprise soon grew into the Monarch
company, and the purchase of large tracts
of mineral lands, including some of the
famous mine groups of Freeland. The
tunnel will cut these at great depth and
unwater many old mines that have
produced millions in the past and which
still retain large bodies of ore. The COM
| pany owns an almost solid block of land
through which the tunnel passes, thus
insuring them of what they find without
possibility of litigation. The tunnel will
be some four miles in length when COM
pleted, and will reach nearly 1000 feet in
vertical depth.

Good Shoot in Gum Tree Mine.

Over and Morgan, lessees of the fam
GUS Gum Tree mine of this district, have
drifted into shoot of smelling ore for a
distance of $50 feet with no signs of
pinch. The streak is two feet wide and
will average $40 net to the ton. They
commenced placing timbers last week
and as soon as this is completed stoping
will begin. They have taken out enough
ore to pay all running expenses. The
mine is owned by New York parties.

If the farmers will turn their atten- tion to the growth of macaroni wheat, the wheat output of the United States will be increased 5O.OOO,O 900 bushels within few years" declared Prof. Carleton, the recognized macaroni ex- pert of the United States, who spent several years in Europe studying the various hard wheats. Tn my travels through Europe I found a dozen vari- cities of red winter wheat and maca- roni wheat that will be of especial benefit to the great plains.
 The macaroni wheats will be of value to the spring wheat growers from North Dakota to Texas inclusive. They can also be grown in such regions as Arizona and Idaho and the dryest parts of Washington and Oregon.
 Although they need some moisture to bring them up and then a rain later on. afterward the dryer it is the bet ter it seems to be for them. They do we'll in regions where the rainfall is from ten to fifteen inches. Experiments in the west have shown that where ordinary wheat grew three and four bushels to the acre macaroni produced fifteen bushels.
 The introduction of macaroni wheats means an impetus to practically new industry in this country. As these wheats are especially adapted to the manufacture of macaroni they will be grown on a large scale and thus supply the demand which is now filled by importation.
 When the macaroni factories of the United States know they can draw on our own country for the wheat they will manufacture a greater amount and pay better price for the wheat. as special product always brings better prices than a general product. Maca- roni wheats will bring profits in two ways, then-in higher prices and a much larger yield"
 The macaroni wheat differs consid- erably in appearance from the ordinary variety. The stalk grows stronger. more rank and more closely. The grain itself is larger, with only slight dent. very hard and yellowish-w white in color. It requires the same culture as ordi- nary wheat. except that the seeding should be about 20 per cent heavier.
