deVel0pement work on the ground.
They have built good substantial build
ings for the accommodation of the men
and have erected shop which is well
equipped with tools for doing all work
around the place, have l6 horse pow
er steam hoist at the main shaft, which
is now lS7 feet deep and sealed from
top to bottom with seperate com
partments for ladder way and ventila-
ton. Manager Martin informed us
he expects TO sink about IL taet far
thor and then begin to drift to the con-
tact where he expects to encounter the
main ledge. The company have a
large supply Of timber and other ma
terial on the ground and Mr.. Martin
says 1t is their intention to open the
ground thoroughly before making any
attempt to take out ore for shipment.
Passing from this property to the
east we come to the famous Cincinatti
mine spoken of above, which was locat
ed by Mr.. Allard and associates in May
1880 and which has been worked in
superficial way almost ever since, and
yielded immense quantities of high
grade silver lead ore, yet the first real
development work done here dates
back less than year, when the Gold
en- Cross and Eagle company put in
machinery and started in a practical
way to make a mine of it. From Mr.
j. A. Mccoy manager of this company
we learn that the first load of lumber
for erecting building on the property
landed at the mine on July lst. last
year and that the first pick was struck
in an old shaft where they began their
development work on the first of Sap
tember only 10 months ago. yet during
that time boarding and bunk houses
have been erected, a fine % horse
power gasoline hosting engine
aud an lngersoll Sargent air compress
sOr placed in the shaft house, thor
oughly equipped blacksmith shop built
and connected with the compressor
furnishing an air blast for the shop
work: the old shaft which was $50 feet
deep when they began work was retim-
bered and then the sinking was begun;
the shaft is now down to the 300 foot
level and a considerable amount of
drifting has been done at the $50 and
300 foot level, opening up the vein at
both places, Mr., Mccoy stated that 1t
was their intention to continue sinking
to the water level, which should be
near the 500 foot level and open up the
main ore body at the depth, before
trying to take out ore for shipment.
The company is composed of the
following Chicago and Terre Haute
capitalists snd business men who are
determined to thoroughly prospect
the property and know what they have
before trying to secure any profit
therefrom: Willard Kidder, President,
W. r. McKeen, J. A. Parker, William
Shryer, Geo. L. Rood, Terre Houte,
j. H. Chandler, Vice President, and
James Gall, Chicago, James A. Mccoy
Boston, General manager, and John
HOughland, New Albany, Indiana.
These are all men of wealth and their
connections with the enterprise is a
guarantee Of its stability. Manager
Mccoy resides at the mine and person
ally superintends all work thus secur-
ing the greatest economy and speed in
the accomplishment Of the work. In
the surface workings Of this property
down to adepth Of 80 feet over $50, 900
were taken out, and the same vein has
been opened by this company at the
l6O and 800 foot levels showing at the
latter depth vein4 feet In width with
q II inch pay streak so It Is safe to pre-
dict that when the lode is opened at
the 500 foot level It viii prove one of
the richest properties in the southwest.
Adjoining the Cincinatti on the east is
the Welderberger another historical
property which has fallen into the
hands Of Geo. Rood and associates, in
corporated under the name Of the In
diana Gold Mining company. This
company is now arranging to begin de.
velopment work on the property and it
will bea scene Of activity, like two
above mentioned, in the near future;
