The Chicago Mountain Mining and
Tunnel Co. has just been organized, with
a capitalization of 500, 900 shares, par
value SI,oo per share. The officers are
Gustavus J. Tatge of Chicago, president;
Horace B. Baker, secretary; G. A. Coff
man, treasurer; George Burns, vice-pres-
ident aud general manager. Principal
offices at Idaho Springs. The new COM
pany has purchased the properties of the
Adelaide Mining and Tunnel Co. and also
James A. Garfield, three old patents
located by Governor Thomas B. Bryan
early in the seventies. The company
will actively push work into Chicago
Black Swan to cut the Fear-Naught,
Hayes, Adelaide and Garfield at good
depth. Chicago parties are financing the
enterprise and the means are already
provided for the purpose of reaching the
ore bodies known to exist in that noun
tain. The new company starts out under
favorable circumstances, and with expe-
rienced men at the head a auccessful
termination is certain. Mr.. Baker, the
promoter of the enterprise, is thoroughly
conversant with the resources of that
section. The property is convenient to
market and the expenses attending min.
ing, transportation and the milling oi
the product will be nominal.

The showing in the Kelly tunnel at
Georgetown improves as the different
veins are exploited. Some time since
Manager Kelly stopped the work of driv-
ing in the big bore aud proceeded to
test the veins already intersected to see
what he could depend upon for the sum
already expended. The New Boston, one
of the principal lead veins of Democrat
mountain, was raised upon, and the
latest reports are that a strong body of
ore is apparently coming in, the quartz
becoming more and more mineralized.
The extension of the Mineral Chief, now
being prospected, shows a streak of iron
and lead. Drifting will continue upon
this lode 1t is reasonable to presume
that in the near future driving will be
resumed in the tunnel and not cease until
the Silver Glance mine is reached.

Charley Miller reports that his Musco-
ute lease is improving steadily as raising
progresses, the solid mineral being from
four to six inches in width and of good
grade. He thinks he is entering the
ore shoot from whence Shepherd & Ire
land took out fortune years ago. Be-
sides stopping, the adit level is being
driven.
The Red Oak company is having a long
wait for the crosscut to reach the Astor
vein. This was started over a year ago
from the Scepter tunnel and if the sur
veyors were right in their estimate the
vein would have been reached and opened
before this. 1t is probable that there is
pinch where the tunnel struck the vein.
The Astor produced lots of good ore
overhead, and there is no doubt as to
there being fine pocket awaiting the
company. The Jones leas on the Sun
burst, one of the group. is looking finely
again. This vein was purchased by the
company for $1,000 and has produced
since some $4,000.

Manager Morton has on exhibition at
his office some very Incorporating ore
recently encountered in the lower level
east of the Tropic and the indications are
good for the old reliable to again be ship
ping with the best of them. This ore
occurs about 400 feet east of the old shaft
and at a depth of 600 feet. That is about
the right place to encounter the chimney
which produced so generously in the
eighties. Since Mr.. Morton has taken
charge a crosscut has been run 675 feet to
the vein, an Soft. winze sunk and level
is being driven east. In the heading of
this level is where the ore appears. In
addition to the Tropic mine developments
MIR. Morton has done a great work in
opening up the 10. Reynolds mine, on
Silver creek, which formerly was opera
ted through the main shaft to depth of
nearly 900 feet. A tunnel from Clear
creek was decided upon and driven in on
cross vein 5000 feet. Since striking
the 10. Reynolds vein, level has been
driving 10 get under the main shaft, now
100 feet distant. A raise at that point of
$50 feet will complete the connection of
the old workings with the outer world
and enable the management to greatly
increase the shipments from the prop
erty. Since the tunnel was started, the
average progress has been five feet per
day.

T.. D. Quigley has returned from a
business trip to Chicago and other points
While absent he perfected arrangements
for continued exploiting of the Rising
Sun and Hoosac groups, about one and
one half miles west of here, on Clear
creek, Connection will be made by
crosscut between the Rising Sun and
Hoosac veins and both thoroughly open
ed. A test lot of IS tons of Rising Sun
dirt has just been put through the f. D.
Quigley & Co. mill and the returns are
satisfactory. In addition to the mine
development in contemplation, Mr..
Quigley has been authorized to erect a
complete mill upon the Rising Sun mill
site, which covers some twenty acres of
territory at the mouth OF the Rising Sun
adit. There is fine water right in con-
nection. With all the ore of the two
groups coming out of the Rising Sun adit
and automatically conveyed into gravity
mill, the successful treatment of ore of a
very low grade is assured. But both
properties produce mineral that ranks
considerably higher than the average
stamp dirt. We are pleased to see these
oldtime properties coming to the front
and MIR. Quigleys efforts so nicely re-
warded.

Samuel Brethour and Thomas B. Crow
have taken a lease upon one of the CORY
City dumps and will have the same run
through one of the 10 al mills. The
CORY City, like the Maine and Mendoza
on the same mountain, produces an ore
that is generally low grade, abounding in
zinc and iron. Occasionally high grade
pockets, from which thousands of dollars
are quickly realized, occur in connection
with the zinc. While we are not able at
the present time to announce the inten-
tions of the leasers as to the Cory City,
still we shall not be surprised if Mr..
Crow, who is an expert assayer and chem
ist and student of processes, had some
thing in addition to straight colcentra-
ton in view.

The Starlight, owned by the Crossons,
will soon be started up again. The ore
in the breast of the adit runs $24 gold
per ton, the streak being two feet in
width. This is decided improvement in
values. 1t will take so feet more of
driving to reach the junction of this vein
and the Parson Rice, where the boys
confidently expect rich pocket. They
are in fine locality for ore.

Duncan Drummond dropped down
from Dumont last Monday and was really
surprised at the activity everywhere ap-
parent, He reports that he is still tun-
ne1irg for that elusive porphyry dixie
alongside of which is the lead lode that
is the real objective point of the tunnel.
After that is reached, the real work of
mining will begin. The Ohio Gulch
people have a fine group, a good mill,
and Duncan is conversant with both.

The directors of the Golden Hecla met
at the company Office in Minneapolis on
Tuesday, and as there is now plenty of
money in the treasury it is probable that
active work will begin upon the Silver
Horn by August Ist. The shaft will be
sunk, levels extended and crosscut run
to open the parallel veins in the group.
The Silver Horn carries very high-grade
gold and silver ore and systematic devel-
opment of the ore shoot in the shaft will
in itself assure large returns.

We are informed by President Peer of
the J. I. c, company that abundant capi-
tai has been raised to carry on the devel-
opmeut in view. The Jessie shaft, on
Mabel c. ground, will be sunk 200 feet,
and the Mauitou and Portland No. I win
each be sunk 100 feet deeper. A rs
stamp mill, bunk house, Office etc, will
be erected. A Pennsylvania syndicate
has taken all the stock there is for sale.
Mr.. Peer will superintend the work at
the mine. He has for years been en-
gagged in mining and machinist work in
this camp and is a valuable man. Dr.
Allen D. Fraser of this city is secretary

Messrs. A. F. Mcconnell and Joseph
A. Smith have completed the prepara-
ton Of the roll Of the Confederate
soldiers Of York township, including
those who went to the war from this
territory and those who have settled
here since the war. Although a large
amount of work has been done on this
roll, and 1t is the largest yet publish
ed, there is no claim that it Is abso-
lutely correct, and there should be nc
impatience with such errors as may
be discovered. The work so far as
Messrs. Mcconnell and Smith are con-
cerned, has been entirely gratuitious
and consireding the fact that most OF
it has been from memory alone, 1t is
remarkable. Here is the roll as 1t has

money market a little, it Will not 60 far
and its benefits Will soon be dssipatcd.
Wall street, as usual, construed it a
bull point, but the effect in the stock mar
ket has been relatively small. Other
measures are being considered by Secre-
tary Shaw which will go still further to
relieve the money situat ton, but the exact
details of which are not vet clear He
was induced 10 change his policy toward

that the Colombian government is likely

Secretary Shaw has already waived the
Yule in certain Instances whereby the
banks were to substitute government
bonds Tor miscellaneous securities by Az
gust on all deposits of public funds. 1t
IS said here that he may 20 step fur
ther and make few new deposits against
municipal bonds. That something of the
kind is in The air Is thought certain be-
cause certain local banks have been Dor

prove attractive and he will evidently

These measures would tend to increase

Of serious doubt in the minds o. bankers.
They are expecting that Secretary Shaw

The matter,
