Mining Notes from Linden.

which over four and one half mil
lion pounds were jack. It is a
conservative estimate to put the
output for 1905 at doutle that of
1905. Linden has another and
even greater distinction that &C
counts for it's great production of
ore, and places it in the front rank
as world producer; it has the
longest lead and zinc range in the
world, which is also the most pro-
ductive from one end to the other.
Starting at APPOINT of mile north
west Of the tvillage we have the
great hobart Klckapoo mine head
ing theI range, then follows the
Mason, the Anaconda, the Trio, the
Glanvllle, the Stephens, the Ross
and Warne's. East Of the hobart
Kickapoo lis the Carrow or Last
Chance NINE, completing a con-
tinuous Grange four miles IN length.
The range has been opened up one
half mile on each end the past
year; I!from the hobart Kickapoo to
the Carrow on the north and east
and from the Granville to the Ross
and Warneion the east and north.
The hobart and Kickapoo lease
comprises 100 acres of land and
has been the scene of paying mi
mes for a;'great many years. 1t IS
traversed py mineral range 100
rods in klength and Of unknown
width, q running east and west.
More than $4,000 worth of ma
chinery has .just been installed,
the buildings are nearly new and
the mine is in active operation.
The property affords every ad-
vantage for a concentrating plant,
a stream of running water near at
hand, and the NJ P. & n. track
passes within SO feet of the COM
pany's property. The mines and
property are now being stocked
at 10000 shares Of the par value
of $1O0 each, fully paid and non
assessab BILE; 10000 shares to be
treasury or development stock, to
equip the mine with pump, air
drills, 5O-ton mill and other nee
essary machinery. This is mine,
not prospect; is has been worked
by hand and paid well, with ma
chinery it will pay big. Full in
formation will be .cheerfully fur
nished by communicating with
Alvin NJ. Anderson, Dodgeville,
Wis.
The Mason is running full blast
with the mill turning out five to
ten tons of ore per day. Engineer
Clark keeps things looking as bright
as new quarter, and Cap'n Gribble
informed the MAIL man that the
incline was noweconnected with the
old works. You can,now enter the
incline shaft at the mill and pass
underground to John Treloar's, a
mile distant. W. A. Jones is not
experimenting this property per-
sonally, as has been reported.
Work on the Trio mill is pro-
crossing rapidly. = JOS. Scott is in
charge of the work for the Galena
Iron Works Co. and is putting up
a substantial plant. Nelson Hill
larry, superintendent for the Trio
company, is putting in some hard
ticks, and there will be nothing
! lacking to makeIth1s model plant.
! It is a 50-ton mill and will have all
it can do to handle all the ore this
productive mine has in store for it.
They recently struck new sheet Of
solid ore, several inches in thick
ness, and have strong glass rock
opening. The mill will be ready
for trial run in about thirty days.
Upon invitation of Mr.. George
Pollard, superintendent of the Clan
vile mine, we visited this property
Saturday morning and this accom-
modating gentleman showed us
through the underground works.
1t is marvellous sight; no wonder
the parties who. visited this mine
soon bought up the stock. The
breast is 80 feet wide, along the top
of which is vein of pure ore Is to
Is inches in thickness; the breast is
six feet high sand underneath the
big sheet are no less than six sheets
varying in thickness from one to
four inches, making a very nigh
grade milling ore. In sinking a
pump short; time ago they dis
covered a four-inch sheet of Jack
below the glass rock. This a en-
tirely new and Will add new laurels
to this already famous property.
Work was commenced under the
new management on the 10th of
March since which time the old
works have been thoroughly clean
