ANOTHER MINE
ADDED TO LIST
Of Bullion Producers in
This County.
The Splendid Property Owned By
the Tiger Gold Company in
the BradShaWS.

OQe OF LHe properties III Iulo NOuiIy
which has come into prominence dur
ing the psf year, and which has been
added to the bullion producing and
dividend paying list. is that Of the
Tiger Gold Company in the Bradshaw
Mountains. It is one which has not
only been added to the above lists,
but which from present indications
promises to maintain its place in the
front rank Of these lists.
OF the claims owned by the COM
pany are the Orc Belle, the Grey Ea-
gle. and a half interest in the Cleve-
land. The Gro Belle and the Grey
Eagle are each a historical mine Of
that district noted for its good mines.
The former has the reputation of pro
ducing the largest amount of high
grade free gold ore from near the
surface workings of any mine in the
territory. The Tiger has also a his
tory for the production of rich ore.
The Cleveland, while not as famous
as the other two properties, has pro
duced some rich ore and gives indi-
cations of keeping up its end Of the
reputation of the properties owned
by the company.
The claims are located about three
or four miles from the Crown King.
about a mile and a half or two miles
from the Tiger. a famous old producer,
about a mile from the Eclipse, one Of
the first locations in that section Of
the county. and nearer to the Rapid
Transit and the New Jersey. all of
them more or less noted for the pro-
duction Of rich ore.
The general manager OF the Tiger
Gold Company is George P. Harring-
ton. owner of one-third Of the stock
of the Crown King Company. and dur
ing the palmy and dividend paying
days of that famous mine. being asso-
ciated with n. c. Shekels in its man
agement and during the period of
their management, it paid for months
in succession a regular dividend
monthly OF $4,000. and on one or two
occasions even doubling that record.
What the above two men did with
the Crown King. Mr.. Harrington has
commenced doing with the Tiger Gold
Company's property. Since taking
charge q year ago. he has made some
important improvements in connec-
ton with the property as well as to
keep the development work in prog
ress. When the company took pos
session of the property there was a
ten stamp mill on it. but from long
disuse was badly out of repair. He
not only put this in shape but in
creased the capacity by adding ten
more stamps.
Like many another good mine, a
scarcity of water was one of the prob
lens which confronted him. and he
| has worked assiduOusly to overcome
this. and he has succeeded in doing
so temporarily with prospects of OBJ
tanning an abundant and permanent
water supply.
He has a pipe line to spring from
which a supply is obtained for do
nestle purposes. He also laid a pipe
( line to the old Tiger mine, which has
been furnishing water for the mill.
and the supply is still large enough
to keep it in operation for two or three
months longer, and probably a greater
| period.
A wagon road is being built from
the mine and mill to Crown King
which will be completed in four OF
five weeks. BY the use of this road
a very material saving vii be made in
getting the concentrates out and the
supplies in, and will enable them to
obtain coal or oil for ruel, by which
a marked reduction can be made in
the expense Of operating the mill
hoists and air compressors. In fact
every improvement made has beer
with a view Of increasing the earning
capacity of the mine and mill, bott
by increasing its product as well a:
by economy in its operation.
There is a large amount of develop
ment work in both the Orc Belle anC
the Grey Eagle mines. anG large bod
les of ore are opened up in both o
them, but during the brief time spen
