 feres with the final plans at this shaft. The flow of water at the old c. & P. continues with about the usu- to the flats on the other side of Black Gap.
 L. s. & p.
 At the Cole shaft on this property they are waiting for the installation of pipes. IT. is expected that the new air main connection will be made in the shaft today, and the steam pipe and water column by Tuesday of next week. The work of remodeling the two new compartments will be inaug- urated shortly after the completion Of the piping. l.. s. & P. encountered two new and encouraging stringers of ore during the week on the 300 and HOO respectively. The stringers have widened out steadily since they were first encountered and were discovered in new ground, although adjacent to ore bodies already known to exist. H HH
 PITTSBURG 6 DULUTH.
 At the Pittsburg & Duluth the work still consists of putting up the raise between the 1250 and 1850. The 1250 is being opened from the Congdol shaft, and the 1850 is opened from the L. s. & P. The raise is being put up to make the connection and the work is progressing at the rate of thirty to thirty-five feet per week, with one half of the distance already covered, s e s : | JUNCTION. 7 i Broken limestone continues in the l bottom of the Junction shaft, and no ore body has been encountered since the last stringer reported two weeks ago. A depth of 9S0 feet has been recorded in depth this week. Chas.

 z & T. '' Zinc, once despised, menace to mining operations, is now hailed with l delight by mining men, who, with the aid of improved machinery, save and market the product. Colorado is be- coming a noticeable producer of zinc Lit is sought now where previously l it was ayoided-and with the price of the metal on the rise, it Is little won. ] der that there is jubilation in many mining camps of the state. During the year just past, spelter was quoted at a trifle less than s100 per ton, while the present quotation reaches tho handsome figure of S126 per ton, and, with the zinc product of the state reaching for the S10,000,000 mark, it is little wonder that the prices are watched with such interest. Better methods in concentration add to the value of the product. A higher per centage of saving means likewise an increased production. Time was when the percentage of zinc in the ores had to run 50 or 70 per cent to pc mar ketable- now 40 and 45 per cent zinciferous ores find a ready market. The zinc proS--et of Leadville, Col. has placed numerous properties in that camp back into the dividend paying list and in other sections from the loss to the profit side if the ledger.
 Socorro, N. M., where silver-lead ores were formerly abundant, has now come to the front as profitable zinc producer.
