A FINAL SAMPL|NC
GEM MINES BEING SAMPLED Bv Ex-
PERT n. p. LOWE.
4 FINAL AND COMPLETE 1EsIIH6
BEFORE BUILDING BIG MILL At NEW
HOUSE TUNNEL PORTAL.

Under the direction OF Henry P. Lowe,
the well known Denver mining engineer
and number o! assistants, work was
started this week IN thoroughly sam
pling every heading, stope and level in
the big Gem mine, from the Newhouse
tunnel level to the surface. The work
is being done for the purpose Of making
final tests on the complex ores which
have been opened up, and as = check on
previous tests which have shown the
adap,abili,y of the material to treatment
by combination OF concentration and
cyanide.
The OBJECT of the com plete sampling
of the niue is to determine the contents
Of the vein matter and the per centage Of
sang of the values that can he made, and
upon the result Of the present test de.
lends the building of 500 or I.ooo-tou
mill at the portal OF the Newhouse tuu-
mel to treat the product. As the prelim
mary tests g,eately exceeded the expec-
tations of the management, and were
carefully made. it is not likely that the
final results will be other thas satisfac-
tory.

Central Tunnel Starts.

Contractor Alfred friedman began
work on the breast Of the Central tun mel
Monday morning, after having cleaned
cut and squared up the tunnel and hav
ing put in pipe for power and ventilation.
The s,ockholder meetings OF the Big
Five companies were held in Denver this
week, at which time the size the tunnel
is to be driven was 10 ne determined.
The majority of the stockholders may
express them selves on the matter OF
whether II shall he double track or SIN
gle track size. The Newhouse tunnel is
being driven single track size With
turn out At every 1000 feet, and although
over miles Of that big bore was driven
double track size and there is now COM
ing on, a heavy tonnage Of ore and waste
only one track is in place and in use and
two tracks may not be needed for some
time vet 1t said that the Big Five
has fund of over 100000 subscribed
to be used exclusively IN driving the
tunnel, and that the work Will be con
tinued from now on with out intermisslon.
The resumption of work on the head
ing and the employment of between 20
and 90 men, will not be the only bene fit
to Idaho Springs. as the policy OF the
company will be to prospect every lode
encountered in driving the tunnel.
These prospecting laterals will be driven
100 feet east and 100 feet west from the
tunnel on every vein intersected whether
1t belongs to the company or not This
., stem of exploitation will result in dis
closing more than one body OF pay ore
in the veins, as has been the experience
in the Newhouse, where there is not a
lateral but what has opened up ore, which
under the right conditions could be
mined at profit.
Anumber Of owners of mining prop
erty ahead of the breast of the tunnel are
only waiting for the tunnel to intersect
their veins, and at least two of the veins
already cut by the tunnel will be worked
within the next few months.

CIVIL WAR SHELL FOUND.
Unearthed From River Bed Near Gly-
mont Wharf

The heavy gale last night caused the low
est tide that has been seen In many years
in the vicinity OF Glymont wharf, In
Charles county, Nd, and uncovered river
bottom that has not been bare for baif
century. Quite number of persons equip
ped with long-iegged rubber boots searched
through the mud for anything they could
find. and one of the searchers unearthed
not far from the wharf an old shell such
imbedded In the mud, but with about half
CT 1t showing. The shell was about two
feet long and was very heavy, and before
II could be taken ashore the tide came
back and covered the relic under several
feet of ice-coid water, and effectually put
an end to any further attempts to recover
the relic
The shell is believed to be one that was
fired from federal war vessel during the
war, and has been ever since lying where
1t was discovered. Efforts are to be made
to get the shell ashore.
