found. A. w. Hillie of Denver is mana
ger of the property, with VIM. Willis as
superintendent. After little more de.
velopment work is done a larger force Of
miners will be put to work.
G. Aarons, manager OF the Clay County
mine, in Lake mining district, is putting
that mine on a good solid paying basis
The company have been doing good
deal OF development work lately. This
week the electric light company has
been placing an electric fan in the 500
foot level, formerly was in operation in
the 300. 1t was found that it would be
more advantageous to stope from the
500 foot level than to sink winze in the
latter, as they have lately been doing.
A streak Of ore about six feet wide in
the 800 foot level has been bringing good
returns from the smelters. Eleven tons
of this was sent to Argo last week. An
so ton shipment was made to the New
York mill this week, but the returns
have not been ascertained. After the
LdU lb lD6tdllcu III luc OcO-lOOL lcNCl IL
will be pushed ahead some 300 or 400
feet further. This will enable the man.
agement to work the large ore body from
beneath, which will be more economical.
A sale was made last week by Richie
Hughes, OF RUSSELL and E. F. Hewitt, Of
Denver. to DIR. Stockham, OF Delta, Colo,
OF the Lillian nine in Russell district.
The doctor has taken lease and bond
on the same. The mine is good one
and is being worked by the owners to
the fullest extent. 1t is about 4l5 feet
deep and at the bottom OF the shaft has
a streak OF ore from two to three
feet wide. This is mill dirt and runs
about two ounces gold to the cord, while
the tailings from this dirt bring s37 to the
ton. The New York mill has been ham
ding the ore. The present company is
sinking the shaft, but later on will drive
some levels. The Lillian mine has been
a good producer for some time past, and
with the contemplated development
work Of the new company will soon rank
among the leading mines of the county.
The East Nottaway is being worked on
the leasing system, with Tom Martin
looking after the property. Good ore is
coming from several OF the levels. Par.
ties are cross cutting in the $50 foot level
in order to open up new ground. Ed
wards & Co. made shipment OF smelt-
ing ore from their lease in the 555-foot
level west, Tuesday, expecting to receive
returns OF about 15 ounces gold to the
ton. Grabmaier & Co. have some pretty
good looking ore in the 48S.foot level
that usually runs about 3 ounces gold to
the ton. A big shipment Of mill ore was
made to the mill last week that ran very
good. The block OF ground worked by
Edwards & Co. is the continuation OF
the ground where w. Hopkins took out
so much ore that ran very high and net
ted him nice little fortune.
The Federal mine, OF which Richie
Hughes is manager. will ship in few
days 70. ton lot Of ore to the concentra-
tors at Idaho Springs. The last lot OF
crude ore from this mine was shipment
OF Is tons, which ran S35 to the ton. The
present shipment is expected to run
much higher than the last one, as the
ore looks much better. The mine is
down distance Of 375 feet, but the
above ore was taken from the 3O0.foot
level. The streak in the level varies in
width, sometimes running only three or
four feet, then widening out to ten feet.
1t seems to be getting stronger, how
over, as drifting is being pushed ahead.
