Spur Has Proven ProfitabIq.

The Spur is tunnel and is situated in
Prosser gulch in Eureka mining district.
1t fell to the lot OF Maloney & Reilley to
prove the above assertion. For months
and months they drove the breast OF
the mountain with nothing to show for a
long time but the "please remit" envel'
ope at the end Of their months labor.
Luck finally came their way and at
last they uncovered little crevice that
grew and soon became good smelling ore
as the same was drifted on. This was
continued until the breast was in about
200 feet when the crevice suddenly
pitched downward. A winze was neces-
sary then which is now being sunk.
Here the mineral is from six to eight
inches wide with good milling ore run.
ming alongside. The smelling ore gives
returns OF 800 to the ton while the mil.
ling goes as high as $50 to the ton.

The Wood Mine.

This property has been steady ship
per for the greater part of the past year
and is still working, being under the
management of w. G. Dennison. Most
OF the work has been done by tributers
and good deal of fground has been open
ed up for future operations. A large
amount of development work has been
done in the 200 foot levels by drifting.
This is the present depth of the mine.
Other development work has been done
throughout the mine. Regular ship
ments of smelling ore have been taken
out. This ore averages about SS5 to the
ton. and besides this there are several
Steaks Of milling ore. The latter com
ing out OF the 200 foot level east varies
anywhere from three to four ounces gold
in the concentrates, while other values
are taken off the plates.
This mine received considerable men.
tion some time back on account of the
discovery of small bodies of uranium ore
uncovered in the same. This ore is eager
ly sought after by chemists, and is be
ing disposed of in Germany to the KrupT
Gun Works. Every once in while some
of this ore is taken out.

Grand Central Mine.

The Grand Central mine is situated on
Gunnell hill and is worked by the Grand
Central Mining Company, with w. Nc.
Masters in charge. This mine has made
a very good record during the past year,
and from all indications will continue to
do so for some time. Much development
work has been done during the past year.
The shaft has been sunk lift of 100
feet, drifting has been prosecuted 165
feet east and 175 feet west. An upraise
was made connecting the 400 and 300.
foot levels, and another between the 800
and 400 foot levels. This mine has been
working from eight to nine men steadily
the year around and shipments have
been made regularly, with one exception.
This was when the timbering just below
tie collar Of the shaft gave away and
work was thrown back a month while
the same was replaced. Dividends are
also paid regularly. The ore is OF good
character and runs in different grades,
some going about two ounces to the ton,
while the milling ore averages from GIG
to $50 to the ton.

Vanderbilt Group.

This group OF claims is situated on
Arizona hill in Pine district, and those
interested in the group are Frank In
gram, Charlie Dorsan, a prominent
jeweler of Denver, and DR.. n. b. Neal,
proprietor of the Gatin Institute of
Denver. The main shaft on this group
is 63 feet in depth, in the bottom Of
which there is an 1S.inch streak which
assays from $40 to $50 per ton. On the
hanging wall there is another streak 12
inches wide that carries values OF S25 to
the ton. This group is also worked by a
tunnel which has been driven in dis
tance Of 160 feet, at which point large
body Of ore four feet in width was en-
countered consisting mostly OF copper
iron. The company will drive this tun.
mel in distance Of at least $50 feet
further when the large and numerous
ore bodies will be opened up. Consider
able work has been planned for this
group Of claims for the ensuing year and
the outlook for the owners is proms

Eldorado Mine.

Eastern parties are operating the Ell.
dorado under the management of Hugh
Williams OF Russell Gulch. They start.
ed here last May, and after a good
amount of development work have final.
ly put the mine in shape that promises
to pay handsome dividends. A service.
able shaft house was built over the same
and machinery installed. The shaft was
down 200 feet and after the two lifts Of
100 feet each were completed the shaft is
now down distance of 400 feet. Levels
were begun here and are now in quite a
distance. 1t is thought that another lift
OF 200 feet will be begun soon which will
put the mine down distance of 600 feet,
This will be great advantage as the ore
seems to increase in values as the depth
OF the shaft is increased. Some OF the
smelling ore in the 4o0-foot levels runs
13O ounces in gold and $50 ounces in
silver. This is good ore and there is
fair sized crevice of it. The mill dirt
averages from ounces to 81, ounces
gold to the cord. This mine looks very
favorable and is under good manage
ment, so the company can be congratu.
lated on their future outlook.

Mead Mill.

This mill is owned by the Gunnell
Mining company and will be worked in
connection with that mine just as soon
as they begin shipping. although they
have been working it throughout the
year on custom ore and ore from other
properties belonging to the Gunnell COM
pany. The mill has lib stamps and can
tuin out an enormous quantity Of con.
centrates. al OF these stamps are not
working, but after verything is in shape
it will probably be working both shifts
to the full capacity of the mill.

The Perrin in Russell GuICh.

Jones g. Jones of Russell Gulch are
operating this mine md during the past
two months have been doing pretty
good. For nearly year they had
been working, doing development work
IN sinking the shaft and could hardly
see anything but the outlay Of money
and labor. Their faith was strong as
they had been following what seemed to
be good lead and finally perseverance
and good practical mining won out. The
shaft was sunk to the 250 foot and lev
Ell started west. Here fortune began
again to smile and good crevice was
uncovered that increasted in value. A
good shipment was finally made to the
smelter which brought values OF sl2O to
the ton in precious metals. A shipment
also of milling ore was sent to the mills
and has since been bringing from four to
five ounces gold to the ton. Shipments
are being made regularly and the streak
seems to be holding out splendidly.

Caledonia Property.

This mine was opened up several
months ago by the Gold Seal Mining
company under the management of John
Davey Of Nevadaville. 1t has not been
worked long enough for much shipping,
but is opening up wide crsvice in their
sinking operations. When begun the
shaft was about 10 feet deep and con-
tract was let for sinking which now gives
ita depth of 100 feet. Another lift of
100 feet is contemplated which will put
the shaft down depth Of 200 feet when
completed. A new shaft house has been
built and holster placed in the same, but
as depth is increased this will be enlarg.
ed. This company owns a group of six
claims bordering on each other that gives
the company twenty acres of valuable
mining ground. 1t will not be very long
before this mine is classed among the
shippers.

The Lillian.

This mine is operated under the man.
agement OF J. r. Wood and is beginning
to show up very good. 1t is situated in
Russell mining district, just little ways
east of the Old Town and Pewabic mines.
Ever since the present company has had
hold of the property development work
has been prosecuted, preparatory to
working the mine on much larger scale.
The mine was 440 feet deep before the
present lift of another 70 feet was COM
menced, the latter being almost finished,
which when completed will make the
shaft 515 feet deep. Much other work
is not being done at present, except that
a number of leasers are working in the
400 foot levels and are doing very good.
After the lift is finished, however, levels
will be commenced and the work of GO
ing after the ore commepced. The ore
thus far taken out has given hattering
returns and promises to continue to do
SO. They are following good streak OF
ore in the sinking operations, and when
drifting is started expect to ship much
of this ore.

Rails County Mine.

Ihe Rails County mine is owned and
operated by Charles Gage of Central
City. The mine is 700 feet deep and
considerable development work has been
done during the past year. The different
levels above the 800 have been worked.
but within the past month the 5OO-foo
level has been cleaned out and a cross.
cut started. A winze was sunk in the
3OO-foot level and some very good returns
were received from the ore taken out at
that point. The vein here is good and
strong, the milling ore being about two
feet wide and solid crevice of four
inches OF smelling ore. This milling ore
runs from 50 to S12 to the ton, while the
concentrates bring about S12 to the ton,
Ihe smelling ore will average in the
neighborhood Of 800 to the ton, The
crosscut mentioned above is ex.
pected to intersect the vein carrying
those values in the winze of the SOC. foot
level and possibly more, for the rule
seems to be that the deeper you 90 the
better the ore A good sized force Of
men has been employed, and when the
vein is intersected there will be more
men added. The Rails County is locat.
ed on Quartz hill in Nevadaville district,
and is situated near the famous Cali.
fornia niue.
