pany, of which Mr.. Quigley is manager,
has been especially fortunate in acquiring
this property, which has not only great
possibilities in advance OF the present
heading, but the 600 feet already driven
! disclose an almost continuous ore shoot
of more than average richness for this
section. Eight of the stockholders, from
/ Philadelphia. inspected their holdings
here this week and were enthusiastic in
their endorsement of the proposition in
Its entirety
In addition to the work upon the
Hoosac. Mr.. Quigley is also prepared to
operate the Old Kaiutuck. also under his
charge but cwned by a different COM
pany. This property, however. is ahead
and npon the same vein as the tunnel,
aud in the course of time will be cut by
il at depth. At present the Kaintuck
operations will be confined to the vir-
giuia canon workings.
The starting up of the Hoosac and
Kaintuck propositions will materially
add to the activity and prosperity of the
district, we'll as serve to open up
country of known richness, lbounding in
miues that have production of hum
dred millions or more to their credit, the
bulk of which was gold. The majority
of these mines has been specifically
worked. and il will be the mission of the
Hoosac to unlock these treasure vaults
at depth that will guarantee the econ
omical extraction of ore for years to
come.
Mr.. Quigley. to whom the credit is due
for having successfully financed this
proposition. is one of our Oldest and
most conservative mine operators. He
has thorough knowledge of the mines
of Gilpin and Clear Greek counties, his
operations therein covering a period Of
s. years. He is energetic. experienced
and of unquestionad integrity. and every
dollar committed to his care will be con-
secrated to the operation and develop
ment of the properties under his charge.
This. taken in connection with the
merit Of the two propositions named, is
guarantee of a successful issue.

Big Five.

Owing to the vast amount OF details
requiring adjustment, and the more OF
less radical chan es in the plan Of
operation Of the Big Five federation, the
resumption OF work on the Central tun-
mel will be postponed until the latter
part OF this month. II has been posit-
lively decided by the directors to resume
work at the earliest possible moment,
and before the first Of October the iaee
Of the big bore will be forging aheed as
fast as any of its dcmensions was ever
driven. The main hope of the Big Five
lies in the completion of the Central
tunnel and the sooner it is driven ahead.
the more pleased will be the thousands
Of stockholders in that corporation. The
company has ample assurance tina, all
the funds required for the driving Of the
tunnel Can be secured; one of the main
complaints at the annual meeting being
the diversion OF funds of the federation
to other purposes than driving the tuunei

Of tunnel driving. will in all probability
be adopted by the Big Five. The main
advantage Of this is, that when a good
crew of men or rock miners is once Sc
cured they will remain together and
work in harmony. using every effort to
gain footage. regardless of working hours

success. as attest. d by the progress being
made
This extra incentive to the men and
the work accomplished, is less than the
salary OF a superintendent. and is far pre-
ferable to superintendent that is not a
practical miner or one that does not know
what days work underground is, as is
too often the case. The ordinary con.
tractor driving a tunnel at so much per
foot cannot secure the same amour, of
work out of the men, whom he hires al
days pay, and there is constant change
in the muckers. powder and machine
men. and il is not beneficial to have con-
slant changes in . crew of men.

Hoosae Tunnel.

+. ID. Quigley came up from Denver
the FIRST OF the week and for several days
was busily engaged in getting everything
in shape for starting operations upon the
Hoosac tunnel, where large, new plant
of machinery was recently installed. con
sisting of an air compressor, power drills,
etc. fully equal TO the work of pushing
the purposed underground railway from
Clear creek in this county through the
network Of gold producers of Bellevue,
Pewabic and other weilknowu noun
tains. the objective point being Bobtail
hill. in Ciipin county, as we'll as carrying
on the supplementary but important
work of ore extraction and transporta-
ton, driving laterals. etc. Such an en-
,erprise has for years been Mr.. Quigley's
purpose. and in the Hoosac he considers
that he has one OF the best tunnel propo-
sitions in the west, from a revenue and
other stan6points.
The portal Of the Hoosac tunnel is
located upon Clear creek. a few hundred
feet this side of the Donaldson mill. The
location and course Of the tunnel is ideal,
admitting Of reaching big-paying mines
10 q very short distance, as well as bring
ing the product 10 the surface and the
Colombo & Southern railroad track at
nominal cost.
The Hoosac tunnel, which has been
started upon the Rising Sun vein. is now
500 feet in length and will soon form
junction with the vein after which it is
named. The Hooss-, one of the
early patented claims OF the county, is
an enormous true-hssure, with1a record
for ore production that is second to none
in the two counties. The vein Is opened
for miles, from the Donaldson mine, on
the west. to the Froutenac and other Gil
pin county producera 1t forms natural
connection between the two counties.
Mr.. Quigiey states that he has su6s-
cient funds in the treasury to extend the
bore one mile after the Hoosac vein il
reached. and that before the month Is
out work will start and the heading be
advanced at least four to Eve feet per day
A half.mile or 20 Of driving upon the
Hoosae vein will carry the heading to .
point opposite the Specie Payment.
