OVER $4,000
TO THE TON
Some High Grade Ore Being Shipped from
the East NoltaWay.
LESSEES MAKING MONEY ON THIS PROPERTY

A lot OF high grade ore was shipped
from the East Nottaway mine, in Rus.
sell district, last week, that gave some
very fattering returns. The Town Top
les Mines Co. is operating this mine,
which is wholly worked by easers, under
the management of Thomas Martin,
who looks after the interests of the com
pany.
Edwards & Co. have lease on block
of ground in the west 555-foot level of
this mine where this rich ore was taken
out. The returns of run of smelling
ore gave 1496 ounces in gold, 13 ounces
silver and I per cent. copper to the ton.
making the total to the ton little bet
than $500 net. There was a nine. ton lot
of this ore which brought in the neigh
borhood of S270O. Besides the above
smelling ore there is a good d-sized body
of milling ore which runs always from
2 to 3 ounces gold and the tailings bring
from $40 to $50 to the ton. The rich
streak of smelling ore varies in width,
sometimes being very wide for high class
ore and th"n narrowing down. The
above returns can be considered very
good when it is understood that there
were only two men working on their own
time for only three weeks getting out the
ore.
The vein in this level is tine one work
ed by VIM. Hopkins several years ago,
and which he threw up after taking out
quite nice stake. At the time Edwards
& Co. took hold the showing was any.
thing but good, but by driving ahead the
vein opened out again and the lessees,
after months OF dead work, were we'll re-
warded for their pluck and perseverance
The above is the best run they have had
SO far, but the present indications are
that this rich ore body will continue fol
some time. ~ $780,.

MINING BRIEFS

Several More Mines Started and The Mining
Industry Generally Improving.
OLD TOWN 10 Be DEEPEST MINE IN COUNTY

The Old Town mino in Russell Gulch
commenced to sink Tuesday. The com
papy will sink the mine further dis
tance of forty feet as a starter and will
then make big excavation or station to
place plant Of machinery at the bot
tom of the present main shaft and then
sink the shaft further distance of 500
feet making it the deepest mine N Gil
pin county. This new procedure is done
In order not to interfere with the many
leasers who are working in the various
upper levels of this rich property. The
Old Town has been a steady producer
for years and many leasers have made
small fortunes working in the mine.
With the further depth of 800 feet added
on to its present depth, and the various
levels extended east and west along the
vein, this mine will have immense bodies
of high grade ore in sight and will rank
among the best properties of the state.

The Gem mine, situated at the head
OF Leavenworth gulch, is producing fine
looking ore lately. The company, under
the management of John Mellow, is
sinking the shaft an additional distance
of 80 feet, which when completed will
make the mine 275 feet deep, it being 223
feet deep now. A nine-ton shipment of
smelling ore was made last Monday
which promises good returns. This ore
comes from the 200-foot level, where a
good body OF mineral has been opened
up with the shoot pitching toward the
shaft, and in all probability this shoot
will be tapped in sinking the shaft a
short distance. Some mill dirt was also
shipped. The last shipment to the mill
gave 2is ounces gold to the cord on the
plates, while the tailings netteo s37 to

Some good mineral is beginning to
show up in the Gold Rock mine in Rus
sell district This mine is being worked
by pool Of five leasers, all doing active
work on the mine themselves. At pres
ent they are cross-cutting for vein in
the 5OO.foot level. This vein was sunk
on in a winze from the 400-ioot level,
showing good values, but it was thought
that stopping would be better, and hence
the reason for the cross-cut, which will
enable them to get under this valuable
ore body. There is every reason to be.
lieve that this ore will pay handsomely.
The mine is down depth Of some 700 or
800 feet but is not being worked below a
depth OF 500 feet.
