Gem MINE ACTIVE
ENTIRE EQUIPMENT is NOW BEING
THOROUGHLY ovERHAUlED. q
MOST COMPLETE IN THE STATE
MODERN DEVICES INTRODUCED IN ALL
OF THE DEPARTMENTS.

An electric motor of ISo-horse power,
has been ordered for installation at the
collar of the Gem shaft. which will be
used to operate the new Rand cross
compound, 10 drill air compressor. The
latter is already delivered at the mine
and will be placed upon its foundation
during the coming week. All OF the air
columns i'll the underground workings OF
the Gem properties will be enlarged and
overhauled' during the next few weeks.
This work is made necessary on account
Of the extensive operations planned for
the coming year, and will make the
Gem mines equipment one of the finest
in the state. The company has steam,
and water power electric generating
plants, as well as the water and steam
compressor plant at the Silver Age
station, from which the compressed air
is piped over the mountain nearly two
miles to the workings While no
announcement is made, il is under
stood that the visit of ]. II. Galley,
of Pittsburg, Pa, one of the
principal owners, with party OF min ny
experts and friends during the past week
was for the purpose OF deciding upon
vigorous campaign of development work
and active mining operations of the ore
bodies already opened in the lower level
for the coming summer Work was
started today in driving the T4th. level
west from the Gem shaft and it is known
that the other levels will also be started
as soon as conditions will permit. There
is no limit to the tonnage that may be
handled through the Newhouse tunnel
from the Gem workings. and together
with the present mining operations and
the fact that the Newton annex mill with
its recently enlarged capacity will be
ready to begin the treatment of ore on the
| first of April, would indicate that the
Consolidated Gem Mines company will be
handing a heavy tonnagr of cre v,itssir
another week. A large number OF ieas-
ers in the upper levels are shipping
smelling ore in considerable quantities.
and IT may be said that very few of the
men leasing are making less than days
/ pay.

Cardigan Mine Looking Good.

The Cardigan mine, which is being

Brothers, is showing up well and is in
position to produce large tonnage. A
trial shipment from a large crevice
opened for good distance in the tunnel
was made last week and gave returns of a
little over f74 per ton net The mill ore
is allowed to accumulate on the dump
for the present as the operators are un-
able to have the ore hauled, partially on
account Of the poor condition of the
wagon road to the mine caused by the
recent rains and SHOWS.

Nearing the Sara,oga.

According TO the engineer figures.
which are confirmed by the conditions,
the breast of the Newhouse tunnel
will encounter the great Saratoga vein
within the next four or five shifts.
Since the first of the present week there
has been a constantly increasing flow of
water from the breast of the tunnel, and
Thursday large water course was cut
IN the bottom left hand side Of the tun-
mel while the roof was almost dry. The
rock has been OF soft character and all
slightly minerslized. II is believed that
another rouud or two of holes in hard
rock will proceed the cutting of the vein
None OF the water so far, is from the
Saratoga vein as the water may b,
easily identified from the fact that il is
strongly impregnated with acids, and il
will quickly eat into clothes, shoes and
even iron with which il comes in contact.
1t also has a noticeable effect on the hands
of the workmen.
When the vein is encountered is il be-
leived that operations will have to he
suspended for an indefinite period on
account of the flow of water which will
pour from the breast.
