Sill Silver Horn.

A substantial payment for sixty day
option to purchase was made this week
by Chicago capitalists to l.. Mclean
owner of the Silver Horn group of
claims, on Ute creek. An expert exam
nation is being made of the property aud
the engineers report is being prepare d
for the prospective purchasers.
The group consists OF seven patented
claims, with practically only surface de.
velopment, but sufficient work has been
done to show the continuity of the veins
and. the frequent occurrence of high
grade ore shoots. Mr. Mclean has owned
the property for many years, and to-
gether with his sons has operated it
intermitfently. Many years ago leasers
extracted a pocket of rich ore, shipping
it to Georgetown on the backs Of burros.
where it was sold the product of an
other property and the leasers evaded the
payment of royalty to the owner of the
mine The value of the ore stolen in
this manner can only be conjectured. 1t
was a common practice in the early days,
practiced extensively in the Cripple
Creek district.
Within the next five hundred feet the
Burns NJ oore tunnel will have inters. cted
the first of the veins in the Silver Horn
group at depth of over 500 feet below
the surface workings. This will give
depth of approximately I 200 feet on the
pitch of the veins and permit of their
operation under the most favorable con
ditions at that point. In common with
all other mines of the Ute creek section.
water has been one of the great draw
backs in retarding development by the
shaft method
An adit level on the Silver Horn vein
has been driven nearly 1000 feet, and it
is said that there is not a barren spot for
its entire length, that the rich ore streak
is continuous but varies i'll width from
knife blade seam to six inches wide,

Work has been suspended on the
breast of the Silver Gem tunnel for a

the vein recently encountered. On ac-

the Sporting Times group, has taken a
lease and option on the Comet group OF
eight patented claims near Georgetown,
covering the eastern extension OF the
famous Colorado Central mines. Mr..
Colburn proposes to erect cable tram.
way to handle the mine product, but
more particularly the dump. in which
here are thousands of tons OF med
iunI grade ore which can be proh,ably
marketed by the aid of wire rope tram
way. The Comet mine was worked IN
early DAYS, when ore running less than
500 per ton was thrown over the dump
AT that time it was necessary to remove
great quantities Of the lower grade ma.
terial IN order to gain access to the high
grade silver ore, which was sorted and
shipped to the mills on the backs OF
burros. A recent careful sampl'ng OF
the dump gave an average value of - 90
per ton. On accoun, of the preclp-
tous mountain, the buiGing of a wagon
road to the mines is impracticable. MIR.
Colburn will work the property eAten-
sively during the coming summer.
The Benzie Investment company, OF
Denver, operating the Mint mlne at Erl'
pire, had shipment of three carloads OF
ore treated at the Waltham mil last
week, which gave most satisfactory re-
turns. While the exact figures OF the
run are not obtainable, the results III the
wav of gold bullion aud concentrates are
sufficient to show that the method OF
treatment at the Waltham mill Is paruc
ularly adapted to the character OF ore
produced by the Mint property.
There were n tons of the crude ore
(Which was not sampled, however
which returned Is ozs. OF gold OF .ooc
fineness, by amalganation, and carload

which were sluiced into the cyanide
tanks assayep 81 80 yer ton, showing
splendid saving. As an experiment, the
tailings are being subjected to the eva
uide solution and will no doubt sh w al
almost complete saving OF values. Fur
ther tests Of the ore will be made, and II
they are equally satisfactory, regular
shipments will be made to the Walthan
mill, or similar plant will be erected
near the Mint mine.
