The Ingram Mine.

At the Ingram mine, which is situated
on the east slope of Arizona hill, sinking
has been in progress for some time past,
until the shaft has now reached depth
OF 240 feet In the bottom OF the shaft
there is IL inch streak of copper.iron
showing up which ruus $40 to the ton.
There Is also streak of mill dirt two
and half feet wide, which averages
from IS to so to the ton. The company
operating this property are highly elated
over the showing thus far made, and
they intend to sink the shaft to the 500
foot point.
This property has been closed down
for the past three or four weeks owing
to the terrible accident which happened
at the mine at that time, when Ira Pol
lard. manager of the property, and Archie
Harper, drilled into missed hole, which
has manned Pollard for life, he losing
the left hand and one eye with slight
chances of saving the other. Therefore

been built and plant OF machinery is
on the ground ready for installation. A
whim was being used for hoisting pur-
poses, but that process becoming too
slow plant of machinery was ordered.
Regular shipments were being made
and the shaft has paid all expenses in
sinking. The Ingram is one OF the old
stand-bys OF the Pine Creek district and
was discovered and is owned by Frank
Ingram, a resident of this district. who
has at different times refused tiattering
offers for this property. Just what will
be done with the Ingram we are unable
to state at present, until the return of
Mr.. Pollard, who represents the eastern

Dies in 6oIdfieId, Nevada.

The sad and painful news Of the death
of Martin Noouan, which occurred in
Goldfeld, New, yesterday was received
in this city this morning. For the past
week very discouraging reports have
been received from Godfeld relative to
his condition, he suffering from bad
attack OF pneumonia. His wife reached
hun the fore part OF the week and wired
friends here that there was no hope for
his recovery. The remains will be sent
to this city this evening.
Deceased left here a couple months
ago for the new Goldfeld camp,
being attracted by the stories of plenty
of work and flattering wages. He
had been born and raised in Gilpin
county and had lived here continuously
almost until leaving for Nevada. He
had no end of friends and was Il great
favorite among all. He was a gentle
man of splendid habits and pleasing
personality.
Besides wife, a mother, two brothers
and three sisters survive him. These
are residents af Central City and have
the keenest sympathy of the community
in this sad event. Arrangements for
the funeral have not been made as yet.

tiring efforts of Mr.. Fleschhutz. let it
be said that the successful operation and

due to his able management. And the

The GunneII Means Business.

The Gunnell Mines Il Mining con-.
pany has taken charge Of the Guunell
mine and other property worked in con-
nection with this mine. To the residents
familiar with this county it will be re.
membered that the shaft house formerly
on the Gunnell was burned down, which
stopped work here and tributary to the
this mine. In the fall OF this year the
present company took hold OF the prop
erty and have about got everything in
shape for active work again. Part OF the
old stone shaft house was rebuilt and
the rest added. and now the mine has a
very fine building and much larger than
the last one. There were three so b. p
boilers installed and large plant Of ma
chinery. An air compressor was placed
and they are now waiting for big
pump, as this mine has lots OF water and
can keep good pump going. The shaft
is 1850 feet deep and for the past few
months has been under the care OF tim.
bermen, who are retimbering the same.
This has been necessarily slow work as
the timbers below were eaten out by the
fire and much debris have caved in In
different parts OF the shaft. They are
now down about 300 feet. After the
mine is put in,shape and all the water is
out, active mining will commence. Levels
will be driven, old ones will be work.
ed where values are known to exist and
work throughout the mine will be very
brisk. The opening Of this mine not
only means that the Gunnell will be
worked, but all those mines that are
near by, rs the draining Of the Gunnell
drains oil Of those. Besides the Eagle
and Mead mills are owned by the same
company and will be put into commission
to handle the immense ore that is Ger.
tain to come from here.

DeriqO PROPERTY Doinq Well.

The Derigo Mining and Milling Com
pany are operating this property which
is composed OF five claims and is situat
ed in Wide Awake. There are three
tunnels, which. when the weather per
mits, are in active operation. These are
usually worked for ore in the spring and
summer for ore and development
prosecuted IN the winter when the roads
are impossible for the hauling OF ore
The first or Barum tunnel is 7l9 fee t
long, the second $50 feet while the
breast of the third or upper one is in q
distance Of about 600 feet. During the
last period of production ,223 tons were
taken out averaging sl2 to the ton and
netting after treatment charges sS35 to
the ton. This is only for about six
months and makes over Sl4, 900 for q half
years work. This ore comes mostly
from their Barium tunnel where the
streak is 2l feet wide in a stope between
the first two laterals. The mill where
the ore is sent is in Wide Awake, only a
short distance from the tunnels, and is
owned and operated by their company
1t is only Of 20 stamp capacity but the
production OF the ore demands an in.
crease, so it will be enlarged next spring
The tailings make about 2i. tons to the
cord. A tram is also to be placed be
tween the tunnels and mill which will
do away with the hauling OF the ore by
wagon. Dividends have been declared
regularly. The company's Interests here
are under the able management OF Johl
Lind.

A COSTLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
]. c. FIeschhItz Receives Magnificent GIFT
From Employees.

The most handsome Christmas gift
presented to anyone in this city without
doubt was that received by j. c..
tleschhutz, manager of the Pexabic
mines. The present consisted of ii solid
silver tea and coffee service and solid
silver water set, and was gift from the
employees of the Pewabic company,
working in the mines aud mill
The tea and coffee service consists of
a tray and several other pieces coffee
and tea pot, besides the creamer, sugar
bowl and spoon holder. These are very
plain, but elegant, and on the side is
engraved the letter "F" The tray is
artistically decorated with a border of
raised grapes in punches and stands
about two inches high with tastily de-
signed supports in the form of grape
leaves. In the center of the tray is the
following inscriptions: presented by
the employees of the Pewabic Consoli-
dated Gold Mines company to j. c.
Fleschhutz, president and general
manager, Xmas 1906"
The water set is magnificent piece of
work. 1t consists of pitcher, goblet
and tray. All three pieces are of solid
silver and are very heavy. On the pit.
cher and goblet are raised water lilies
and on the front is the monogram of
the recipient of the gift.
Every one of the seventy employees of
the Pewabic company contributed to
the purse for the buying OF the gift,
which cost several hundred dollars. 1t
came as complete surprise to Mr..
Fleschhutz, who was so moved by the
spirit in which the gift was rendered
he could hardly express his gratitude.
1t unmistakably expresses the high es-
TEEN IN which Mr.. Fleschhutz is held by
the employees of the company.
A more efficient force of men is not
to be found in the county than those in
the employ of the Pewabic company.
They are loyal and fair.minded and give
good services in return for the top
wages they receive. 1t is hardly nec-
essary to say the friendly feeling and
regard entertained by the men
toward Mr.. Fleschhutz is most heartily
reciprocated.

process. Calling to his assistance one OF
the ablest cyaniding engineers OF the
state, systematic line of work of ex
perimenting was entered upon. II would
take too long to describe the work as it
proceeded during months of arduous
and tedious work, as from step to step
results of satisfactory extraction of the
gold values from the ore were verified
from small quantities to one half and
ton lots. The ore is not what is called
an ideal cyaniding ore, but heavy iron
sulphide with quartz ard spar. For This
reason it was necessary to prepare the
ore at a nominal cost, and now not only
assays on headings and tailings show a
good extraction, but the gold is extract
ed from the ore in half and ton lots-is
handed over lost management.
In a we'll built mill the machinery is
now being installed. During the last
month tanks also have been arriving
over the Mofat road, which was no small
undertaking to bring them in from Toll
land over snow covered road over TO-
COO feet high. Everything, however,
came in in good shape and it will not be
long before it will be in runripg order.
We look forward to this innovation as
one of great benefit to the mining indus.
