The most important transaction in

Mines Company. The money was paid

Of .25o,ooo. Since fine mine was ac-
quired by the Gem owners it has
been operated mostly under
the leasing system aud has produced
IN excess of 100000 or at a rate of over
$500 daily. The main shaft is 600 feet

up has not been touched, but the gross
output of the mine to date is some
where near the million dollar mark.
The Freiehter' Friend mine was one
of the earliest lode claim discoveries on
Seaton mountain. 1t was located in the
fall OF 1865 by Mr.. II. NJ Wells, now a
resident OF Crete, Neb.. who with a num-
Der of companions WAS engaged in freight
ing across the plains with OK teams.
The patent number Of the claim is 81, it
being the ninth patent issued for mining
claim in the lower Clear Creek section.
Under the mining laws in force at that
time the width OF the claim was only
50 feet.
! The Gem company will shortly resume
sinking the shaft and it Will ultimately
be connected with the Newhouse tunnel
and with. the Gem shaft by meaus of
cross cuts at intervals, affording excel
lent ventilation for the entire Gem prop
critics. AT the level of the Newhouse
Nnnel the Freighters Friend VEN can be
reached by crosscuttlng from the lateral.
At this point the vein will be opened / 400
feet below the bottom of the shaft on the
! pitch Of the vein. The shaft is equipped
with a 5o-horse power electric hoist, and
compressed air Is supplied from the
power plant at the collar of the shaft on

Waukegan Incorporated.

The Waukegan Mining, Leasing and
Development company, with capitallza-
ton of $4,000, vas Incorporated this
week, the papers being filed with the.
secretary Of state on Thursday. The
officers and directors are: President, W
A. H amilton, Terre Haute, Ind; vice
president and general manager, A. A
Ireland, Golden; Colo: secretary treas
urer, Frank G. Watrous, Denver.
The new company has bond and leas e
on The Waukegan group of claims in
Argentine district. The property has an
excellent record, having produced over
sI7, 500 with less than 45o feet of devel
opuient and but little stoping. The work
done consists of two adits on the Wauke :
gan vein, one in $50 feet, and one in 200
$50 feet to cut the vein at I7o feet below
the lower adit, and it is expected to reach
the lode within the next 80 to SO feet
of driving. In the workings the snelt-
ing streak is from two to ten inches in
width, of silver copper ore, carrying
values In excess of 5000 per ton. The
ore shoot is exposed for 90 feet along
the vein in both adits, and will be inter-
sected by the cross cut.
Heretofore it had been necessary to
pack the ore for miles on the backs Of
burros, slow and expensive method, but
the transportation problem is vastly i'm
proved, as the Argentine Central rail-
road makes the marketing of ores and
the delivery of supplies comparatively
easy.
