EMPIRE-GoLDFIELD.


lessee W. D. 'Brien and the company
has been amicably settled and the
company is now in charge of the prop
erty and have started ore production.
On the Silver Tip the lessee opened
ore for a distance of 100 feet on
well-defned ledge and at one place
sank shaft 30 feet and in doing this
work about two tons of high grade
ore was taken out and sacked. Judg-
ing by the assays it will run at the
rate of $500 ton. In the bottom of |
the hole there is showing feet of |
white talcy ore. As depth was gained
the pay portion of the vein has grad
ually widened out. 1t is the intention |
of the company to put on gasoline
hoist and place the Empire in the list !
of steady shippers of the camp. p. j.
Lynch will have charge of the mine. !
THE KEYSTONE.
The writer had the pleasure of look
ing over the Keystone property this
week, which is on the same mountain |
as the famous Dixie and which un-
doubtedly has the same vein system. |
The surface indications are excellent,
massive groupings of fine looking |
quartz being common. A force of men
ave kept steadily at work and the re-
suite are encouraging. Two shafts, 40 |
AMI 30 feet deep respectively, have
hon fpn hac r1rn
a distance of 1875 feet in the mountain.
This latter is expected to cut the ledge
in about 30 days and it is hoped that
go<nl values will be encountered. 1t is
said that several fattering offers have
been received for the Keystone claims
but the principal stockholders refuse
to sell.
BLIZZARD MINING COMPANY.
This company, owning $50 acres of !
ground some s miles east and little !
south of town, are working four men |
trenching and prospecting their big
acreage Through the territory run
several dykes of fine looking quartz
and it is no trouble to pick up pieces
of It that pan well, but no permanent !
ore shoot has yet been uncovered. |
Richard Willis, of Colorado Springs, !
and associates own the controlling in
tercst in the stock of the corporation
and are making 4 determined effort |
to develop shipper on the ground.
Mr.. Willis is well and favorably known |
in the Colorado mining camps. II. w.
Knickerbocker of Golifeld is also a !
heavy stockholder in the company.
aoLDFIELD COMBINATION.
The company is steadily working a
small force of men on their property a |
short distance east of town. Seven |
dykes have been opened up within the
boundary lines of the Combination lode |
and quartz that pans well has been
found on four of them, and scores of |
assays made on the surface groupings
went from So to as high as $40. The |
deepest shaft on the lode is down so |
feet and from the bottom crosscut |
is being driven to cut the known !
dykes. In sinking occasional seams and |
punches of ore that assayed as high as
1888 were encountered. 1t is the inten- !
tion to continue the shaft down to the
water level. The company is out Of |
debt and none of the treasury stock |
has been sold.
DEW DROP.
Work has been resumed on this |
promising prospect by John McKane.
A No. Cameron sinking pump has |;
been put in and the work of draining |
the shaft was commenced on Wednes-
day. The Dew Drop is located " mile |
east of the Black Butte. At depth |
of lS5 feet a big flow of water was en-
countered several months ago, just |
when it is said fine body OF high |
grade ore had been entered,
LUCKY STRIKE.
Henry Anchester, of Milwaukee, one |
of the principal owners of the Lucky |
Strike, was in camp this week and left |
today for his home. He is very much |
pleased with the development on the |
property since his last visit. The shaft,
which is being sunk to develop what |
Is believed to be the extension OF the |
rich ledge on the Empire, is now down
so feet and fine assays are being got
ten. The property is under the super
lnfonaencv Of r r. Todd and the |
