sense to push the tunnel bore ahead to its
objective point before making any effort
toward building mills or reduction plant
for the treatment of the ores in sight
1t may be a smelter or only concentration
mills that will handle their product to
best advantage, and which can be decided
only after their Freeland group is cut and
thoroughly prospected.
The tunnel bore is now in some 200
feet, and has Just entered into the Trail
Creek district, which has become famous
as producer of rich ore in liberal guam
in about or less than $500 feet farther; but
there are many known veins almost as
promising, from surface showings, to be
cut before that point is reached. One
might say the tunnel is only entering into
territory where large and rich veins can
be looked for. There are, too, many
veins from which float came that has
not yet been discovered. The company
will own any and all veins cut by the tun-
mel as they have secured absolute title to
the surface.
If the Monarch company owned no veins
ahead, nor mineral lands, nor the veins
which have been discovered, even then
it would be a good and safe investment
and repay the stockholders many times
over in dividends from transportation and
drainage charges to other mines along its
course They have only lately entered
into an agreement with the Freeland
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-03-21

Consolidated Mines company on mutually
the permanent drainage and ventilation
of the properties of that company, and for
the transportation of its ores. Other
mines of note ore negotiating for terms,
which will be equally advantageous to
the Monarch if agreements are entered
into. The capacity of the McClelland
tunnel will be sufficient to handle any
amount of ore and water from the entire
Trail Creek district. And l would like to
prophecy that within five years from this
date there will be a greater volume and
value of ore coming out through the Nc
Clelland tunnel than is now being ship
ped or milled from the entire county of
Clear Creek. There is no reason why this
should not be so. The Trail Creek ore
bodies have known values; with advan-
tage gained in the handling of water and
thorough ventilation of mines, together
with the minimum of cost in mining, will
go toward accomplishing this result. In
stead of having to pay thousands yearly
for pumping and ventilation this will be
done automatically through the tunnel.
The proposition is certainly an enter
prise that will figure up into the millions
any way you choose to make your calcu-
lations. 1t is proposition that will live
and pay dividends for years; yes, even
down to the seventh generation.

group, by purchase or location. The ex-
tent of the property can be figured as
covering 5000 i'll width by over 5000 feet,
while several of their veins are covered
absolutely for a distance of mile or
more; thus protecting their vein rights
for 5000 feet in length of any they may
cut hey own the entire vein rights
though which the tunnel passes except
ing two or three veins that are old dis
coveries. 1t is one of the most continu-
GUS and complete ownership groups in
the state of rich and productive mineral
lands. In the Freeland group there are
six or eight producing veins consolidated
under the one title.
1t is fair to estimate that one-half of the
ore values opened up in the old workings
of the Freeland mine are still untouched
as there has been scarcely any Stopping
done in the lower levels of the mine,
which is now at a depth of 100 feet.
Below the 100 foot level to the 23oo foot
point, at which the vein will be cut in the
tunnel, nothing is now absolutely known
of the ore body existing or its values.
However, it is certain that the richest ore
mined came from below the 1000 foot
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-03-21

level, and that on the floor of the 100
foot level the ore body was equally as
good and of greater width than on the
level above. This vein will be cut 1900
feet deeper than the bottom of the old
shaft, and even if there is no improve
ment in either ore values or size of vein,
yet if the ore body is continuous to this
great depth it would justify claim of
over $50, 900 900 in values. This specula-
ton would also apply to several other ore
bodies known to exist. 1t is hard to
keep from going into conjectures on such
a proposition, which if allowed, would
run the valuation of the property up into
the hundreds of millions on the most con-
servative estimates.
Taking the present showing in the up
per workings together with what has been
opened in the tunnel it passes almost be-
yond our conception. Mining engineers,
after most careful examinations, state
there is over 800 900 now in sight in
the Freeland group. After making care
full estimates figure twice this quantity
of ore now exposed in the McClelland
tunnel without giving any value to the
last vein, which shows width of 100 feet
where cut in the tunnel. The ore from
this vein by lowest estimates will sample
to an average OF over 81 90 per ton. 1t is
cut at depth of 1000 feet, and the COM
pany owns 5000 feet in length along the
vein. Figuring eleven cubic feet to the
ton-it startles one S27 ,ooo, 900. This

land. Naturally this fact should cause
our people to desire to know more of the
McClelland tunnel which has been little
advertised and seldom mentioned in the
press. 1t needed little advertising to
float it as its location and holdings, with
a past production record of millions, to-
gether with the positive knowledge of
large ore reserves that can conservatively
be estimated up into the millions, was
sufficient guarantee to capitalists of the
practicability of the enterprise presented
to them.
Two years ago | wrote an article which
was published i'll the Colorado Springs
Mining Investor, on Future Scientific
Prospecting and Mining" which caused
some comment at the time, and am pleas
ed to point back to that article touay with
the information that the organization of
the Monarch company and the starting of
the McClelland tunnel was the incentive
that caused the prophecy or argument
used.
The Monarch NJ. M. T. 7. and P. COM
pany was organized some two years since
by George E. McClelland, backed by J..
R. McKinnie and R. B. Davie of Color
ado Springs, and Boston capitalists, with
a capitalization of $3,ooo,oo Mr.. Nc
Clelland was the originator of the PROPOSE
ton and has been at its head since its
first conception. He has been for twenty
three years closely connected with the
banking and mining interests of this
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-03-21

nm HEN one undertakes to write of
wv large proposition, he issometimes
at loss how to express it in such way
so as not to appear overdrawn, or dream
of some reporter given to imagination.
Again, the proposition may be so large in
its conception and possibilities that the
literal truth may appear gross exaggera-
ton. Such a proposition is that of the
Monarch Mining, Milling, Tunnel,
Transportation and Power company
When not figuring on possibilities, but
giving actualities, it will be hard for some
to realize that for once conditions were
such as to make one almost afraid to
publish them as they really are, for fear
of being accused of the very fault was
anxious to avoid. On this account can
assure our readers that however large
these figures may appear, they are strict
ly conservative and rather within than
outside the facts.
The cutting of the one-hundred-foot
vein of ore in the Monarch has astonished
everyone connected with it, and has
occassioned great interest among mining
men of life long experience, as evidenced
by letters received by Manager Me- lei
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-03-21

and the general impression trst received
is that of organization i'll every depart
ment At the portal of the McClelland
tunnel are substantial buildings, consist
ing of large engine house, blacksmith
and machine shop, lunch and dressing
rooms for the miners, large barn, wagon
shed and powder magazine. The machin-
cry consists of a duplicate plant of the
latest improved 24x24 Norwalk high alti
tude air compressors, large blower with
an independent engine and two $50 h. p.
high pressure boilers. In the machine
and blacksmith shop are such tools and
machinery needed.
The company purchased the famous
Freeland group of mines, situated in the
Trail Creek district, which has produc-
ton record of over $3.50, 900 in less than
nine years, to say nothing of the other
thirty-two years this mine has been pro-
familiar with this mine claim it has pro-
duced over SIC, 900, 900. The McClelland
tunnel was located on Clear Creek, Just
below Dumont and only four miles from
Idaho Springs, which is now being driven
to cut the Freeland group at a vertical
depth of from 1900 to $500 according to
the contour of the surface; and about 1900
feet below the deepest workings in the
old shaft on the psreeland vein. Since
that time the company has acquired a
large acreage continuous along the line of
their tunnel, or surrounding the Freeland
