Tellurium in Treasure Vault

is now explained by the fact that the
vein matter is a tellurium.
"On Saturday a Cripple Creek miner
visited the place and told the men that
they had tellurium and if tested they
would find high values. 1t was first
roasted and the gold seemed to boil out
of the rock. There was three feet of ore
and streaks of rich te1lurium from two
to six inches ranged through it. A fur
ther investigation was made and it was
found that from the bottom of the shaft
up for forty-fve feet the same character
of tellurium was showing. A drift had
been started on both sides and this had
been driven for twenty-five feet, and it,
too, is showing the tellurium. The ore
was tested by one of the assayers today
and it returned 3I6 ounces gold to the
ton. John w. Ward, who owns a half
interest in the claim, has chunk of the
tellurium weighing 100 pounds and was
offered $500 for it as a specimen. The
rich ore is showing in all parts of the
lower workings and the leasers will make
much money out of their block of
ground"

west of the mine. This, it will be renem--
bered. is the point where cut into the
shaft, the ore streak at this point being
twelve inches thick, showing value in
gold, silver and copper of $40 a ton. 1t
has taken the men but few days to
knock out this car load, and they and
others are busy knocking out other car
loads soon to follow this one to the
smelter. Our relations to the smelter
are waxing important, Judging from the
present status, there being now in the
smelter yards carload of concentrates
from the Wilkie mill, carload of smelt-
ing ore from the Adit at Frances, car
load from the Dew Drop and one from
the Columbia, making a possible total of
smelling ore and concestrates now stand
ing on the tracks to the credit of the Rig
Five of 100 tons.
Meanwhile both at Frances and at
Idaho Springs they are pilling up the
mill ore in great quantities faster than
the local mills can handle it-from all of
which it certainly seems that the Big
Five is rapidly heading towards steady
dividend paying basis"
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-02

1t certainly looks as though this is to
prove to be the great year toward the
progress of this section of Clear Creek
county, while many are predicting that
next wear will find the district the heaviest
and best paying camp in the county.
Whether such results will be reached with
a rush or not, that end will surely be
reached sooner or later. Anyone who
visits this district with an unprejudice
mind will readily acknowledge that it is
destined to become an important one.
Good ore bodies are being opened up al
most daily with little or nothing said,
while mills are beiug built and new plants
of machinery put in unherald to the world
in red poster type. A gentleman who
recently visited the camp was amazed to
find such good showings in a camp where
so little had been said about it. He said,
after making a thorough investigation of
the district, that he firmly believed the
camp would one day reach production
equal that of Cripple Greek in that camps
most balmy days. This certainly is look
ing toward big things, yet those familiar
with the veins and ore bodies of the dis
trict can not question the prophecy.
Surely trip through the Lombard tun-
mel or even the Chesapeake would con-
vince one that there is an almost mex
haustible supply of ore on which to work
while trip to the famous Alice mine will
show one that there is literally whole
mountains of ore yet untouched almost
by the skilled hands of the miner. The
strike of the thousand dollar ore in the
Little Clara only confirms the opinions
of our miners that very high grade ore
exist in many of our veins in shoots and
deposits. There has been many d1scov-
cries of rich ores during the past year that
could be mentioned: as $4,000 ore in the
Orc Verde; S4S5 ore i'll the Faust; over
$500 ore in both the Chesapeake and
Puritan mines; $3.50 ore in the Sierra
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-02

A story well told of one of the recent
rich strikes of the district appears in the
Denver Tunes of Tuesday last. About
three weeks ago Siftings mentioned the
big find of tellurium in the Coming Ma
ton but for some reason there are those
who were inclined to doubt the presence
of the ore in this district. This proves
conclusively that considerable of the rich
stuff will be found. Following is the
clipping;
Zone of the richest strikes of the year
has been made in the Treasure Vault
mine by set of leasers: The property
is located short distance up Virginia
canon and the vein in an adjoining claim
was cut by the Newhouse tunnel long
time ago. but nothing was done on the
lode through that bore. Some surface
work has been carried on along the vein,
both in the Treasure Vault and claims
adjoining. Leasers began work iu the
shaft short time ago, continuing it so
feet below the adit level. The vein was
showing gold values, but nothing high,
and when it came to milling the product
the values could not be recovered. This

that tunnels were opportunity makers
did not drive tunnel that would expose
these veins of riches at great depth
They have been worked at third and
fourth levels but were never really open
ed up at depth that would warrant being
called real mining.
William L. Wilson, Denver man who
is familiar with mining in all the dis
tricts in the state and who has been at
the head of several successful promotions
is the first man to appreciate what can be
done in this regard and apply his theories
in real practice.
He has purchased the Last Chance
claim, which has the reputation of being
a big proposition and containing 1900
feet of one of the best veins on Chicago
Mountain. In order to open this vein
properly Mr.. Wilson has incorporated
the Chicago Mountain Mining and Tun-
mel company and will drive a tunnel from
the creek level, or nearly that point,
through beneath the rich producers and
open up the entire mountain.
The veins to be encountered are The
Solid Muldoon, Sunny South, Washing
ton, Bismark, Black Eagle, Republican,
Newton, General Thomas and as mat
ter of fact every one of the propositions
that have yielded so literally to develop
ment in the past.
The tunnel will enter Chicago Noun
tain almost directly opposite the famous
Argus tunnel, the home company prop
erty, and the tunnel site is in every sense
ideal. 1t will run the full 5000 feet and
cut right through under the apex of
Chicago Mountain in the vicinity of the
Sky Rocket and Torpedo lodes which
have furnished assays running into the
thousands.

that new company has been formed to
take over the Allen mill up Chicago
creek and keep it moving on ore from

Reports from Empire indicate that the

Coming.

The present year will witness some
very interesting developments in
locomotion, both on land and by
sea. In June next, Mr. T b Behr
hopes a portion OF bis Manchester
Liverpool mono-rail electric express
railway will be opened and that cars
will be running on it at the rate OF
one hundred aud ten miles an hour.
Mr. Behr is introducing a bill next
session for London Brighton mono
rail railway, which would take Lon
dopers down to the sea in half an
hour.
Many big railway companies are
electrifying por ions OF their lines
By the close OF 1903 trains will be
running by electricity. There are
also to be some novelties in ocean
travel. In May the first turbine
driven cross Channel steamer will
commence running between Dover
and Calais. la August another
turbine vessel will be placed on the
New heaven Diepps service. 10
April the most powerfully eugined
liner in the world will start run

call is much desired For the present the
Rev. Mr. Hume will act as rector of st.

CATHEDRAL MISSION
SECURES PROPERTY
Acquires Lot on Which Building
Stands and Will Now Make

BY fortunate combination of circum-
stances and the termination of friendly
negotiations, the Episcopal Church has
succeeded In acquiring the ground upon
which the Cathedral Mission of the Good
Samaritan is located. The lot stands on
Second street, near Folsom, and is a
splendid piece of property and rapidly in
creasing in value. Certain improvements
which have been in contemplation will
now be undertaken and pushed rapidly to
completion. By a fortunate combination,
the real property of the Mission has been
acquired and is now vested in the Bishop
of the diocese. With the exception of a
small liability, which the Mission can
easily sustain, no claim exists against it.
A permanent home for all time is now as
sured to the institution.
The assets of the institution are esti-
mated at s25 900, against which are liabili-
ties amounting to $4,000.
. 1t is now proposed to add another story
to the building and install therein a BOWL
ing alley billiard room and offices for the
guilds, besides extending the gymnasium.
New apparatus will be installed and a
competent instructor in physical training
secured. In all respects the Cathedral
