From Above amp Shaffer.

Chss. Straub was in the city Tuesday
on his way to Denver from the Williams
Forks. Mr.. Strsub states that the mill is
nearly completed and will be ready for
operation within short time. The mill
was built under considerable difficulty. it
being necessary to pack in every part of
the machinery on the backs of burros.
The machinery consists of rolls, grizzly,
Huntington mill, jigs and Whitley tables,
and has capacity of IS tons per day. 1t
is operated by water power of which there
is an abundance, and the company also
has their own saw mill. 1t is said there is
ore enough on the dump to keep the mill
rnnning for two years without breaking
another pound. The tunnel is in ON the
vein distance of $50 feet, and in the
breast is four feet in width. The solid
streak of smelling ore is from IS to 20
inches wide. while mineral is scattered
all through the balance of the vein mat
ter, which is Of a milling grade. The
company has 26o acres of ground, and an
abundance of the finest timber for mining
and building purposes. Mr.. Straub states
positively that the new Moffat railroad
will pass within seven miles of the Will
i:ams Forks mines, and that wagon
road will be built in the near future to
connect with the railroad. The state
ment has been made that the Moffat road
would not be closer than IS miles to the
Williams Forks, and Mr.. Straub says this
is miscalculation on the part of someone
as he knows every foot of that country
as well as the last survey where the rail-
way emerges from the divide On
account of the excitement in the new
Camp Shaffer, great many prospectors
are coming in to the Williams Forks and
other sections nearby.
