which steamed up about a month age
is still hoisting water. After the prop
erty has been unwatered the 100 and
POO levels will be cleaned. The main
shaft is down 200 feet and when the
mine is in ape four OF the six levels
off from the shaft will be worked. The
property will be in readiness for active
operations within the next two weeks
Isaac Hall, owner of the Hall mine, will
operate the property. When working
the mine once before the gentleman
took out some very good ore, some OF it
running as high as $4,000 to the ton.
Returns were received Monday from
a shipment OF ore made from the Run
ming lode of over $1,000 to the ton. 1t
was smelling ore from streak encoun-
tered by miners while crosscutting in
the thirteenth level. The streak is
twelve inches in width. Thirty two
men are working days pay on the Run
ming Lode and large shipments are be
ing made regularly. Besides the com.
pany men there are about twenty men
leasing.
The shipments Of concentrates, smelt
ing ores, tailings, etc, from the Black
Hawk depot from the 9Th to the 11th
OF this month amounted to fifty -one cars
for the week. Tho shipments this
month compared to the corresponding
month of last year show a decrease
This is attributed to the fact that last
year the Independent smelter at Golden
had resumed operations after a long per-
iod OF idleaess and had made the treat
ment rate much lower than it had been
during its inactivity, enabling operators
Of mines to realize a good profit from
low grade ores. The trust smelters,
which were fighting the Golden concern
a year ago, also reduced their charges
and consequently large amount OF ore
was being shipped. The ore being sent
to the smelters this month is Of much
higher grade than that shipped last
year.
