Gold Medal Makes Strike.

The retimbering Of the Gold Medal
shaft was completed last week TO point
below the secord level, and the fore part
Of this week work was started extending
the second level west, with the result
that Thursday IN the breast of the DRIFT
$50 feet west of the shaft a streak of ore
two feet wide was opened up. A sample
sack Of the material was tested yesterday
showing o.32 ounces silver, or value OF
$I5.24 per ton. On the foot wall is a
streak of solid mineral several inches in
width which gave retvrns OF 2 20 ounces
gold and 1873 ounces silver, or value of
$14b. 10 per ton. The entire crevce can
be shipped direct to the smelters owing
to the low smelling and freight rates, and
will yield good profit over the cost Of
mining and hauling.
The Gold Medal mine was recently
taken over under lease and bond by the
Gold Medal Gold Mining, leasing and
Developme mt company, a company com
posed of Pittsburg, Pa capitalists. The
property has been lying idle for a num-
Der of years and the workings were
caved in from top to bottom. The TIM
beripg will be continued and when the
bottom of the shaft is reached it will be
sunk an additional lift OF 200 feet, which
it is expected will bring the bottom of
the shaft into a junction with a nearby
vein and into an immense ore shoot. The
work in the mine is being done under
the direction of Sam Brethour, one of
the most successful mining men in the
district, and ia bound to result in regular
shipments from that property, and al
ready ore is being piled upon the plats
from the strike just made.

Ward Mine Immense.

Sinking and drifting in the bottom of
the Ward shaft for the past few days has
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction
of the management, the continuation at
this depth of the immense ore shoot
which was opened in the upper levels,
Two rounds Of holes have been fired
which broke down ore exclusively, and
the drillings from the drill holes today
show that the bits are still in mineral
of the same charact The ore body ac-
cordiug to previous tests carries in the
neighborhood of $40 per ton in gold and
silver and about twenty per cent lead
making a desirable product for shipment
direct to the smelters. When the pro.
posed railway switch is extended to the
ore bins a heavy tonnage can be shipped
with no extra cost for handling or haul
ing the output The opening OF the ore
shoot at this additional depth
showing it to be larger than in the work
ings above, has proved the contentious
OF the management, which is composed
of practical miners. as well the state
ments of number Of mining experts of
recog nized ability that one the largest
ore bodies in this section Of the state will
be opened by the present proposed de-
velopment. The geological formation
at the junction of the RacSensack with
the Ward vein is now more fully under
stood and has decided the matter Of sink
ing the shaft to depth of at least 500
feet. The shaft is now 200 feet deep,
The collar of the Ward shaft is locat.
ed on Chicago creek at almost the lowest
point on the vein IN the county, so that
when sunk to a depth OF 500 feet the
Ward shaft will be the deepest in the
district. As the veins at this point can
not be reached by the tunnel method
water will be pumped from the mine as
long as it is IN operation.
The old prospectors have theory that
the best place to SINK on vein is at its
lowest point, the reason given is that the
sulphide is more quickly reached. Many
illustrations of the correctness of this
theory are to be found in Gilpin county,
where the conditions are practically the
same as in this county.
Henry Shedd Beardsley, associate edi-
tor of I.eslies Weekly, arrived here this
morning and will spend day or two in

Quigley, of the Hoosac tunnel enter

ley will have something to say about the
district in future issue of this publi-
