The Spingdale lode, commonly known
as the Gold Rock mine, and located just
above the Jupiter Belmont mine, started
to hoist water again Tuesday morning
1t has been leased and bonded by parties
from Cripple Creek who are workir g the
same personally. This mine has not
been worked on very extensive scale
for period Of some seventeen years, al
though few leasers have from time to
time worked in the upper levels. After
the water has been cleared and the shaft
put in shape the pool will put on larger
force and work the mine on an extensive
scale. The mine is down to a depth of
about 700 feet at present. The pool op
Grating the mine is composed of Messrs.
w. E. McCampoell, V. Gustafson, F. N.

PINE CREEK
MINING NEWS
Rich Strike Of Gray Copper in The Bottom Of
the Ingram Shaft.
MANY PROPERTIES WILL SOON Be PRODUCING

w. A. Schorrs, Of Little Jenny Lind
gulch, who is in charge of the Josephine
property at that point, was visitor to
Apex last week and reports that the tun-
mel is now in distance Of between 1900
and 1400 feet. The company has cut
any number of veins of high class value,
and there is also large crevice showing
up in the breast OF the tunnel.
The Annie II. property in Elk Park
has completed sinking and drifts will be
started east and west, when some good
ore bodies will be encountered. This
property is working steadily and employs
about eight men at present. c. A. Nc
Neil is in charge and he reports that the
outlook for the Annie Fl. is promising
one. The company owns its own mill
which is situated just below the mine,
but has not been running steadily on ac-
count OF 30 much dead work being done
at the mine.
A big strike has been uncovered in the
Ingram mine in Pine and Wisconsin dis
tricts, which means much to the Pine
creek section, but that is only one of the
many. In sinking the shaft five. foot
crevice has been opened up, carrying
gray copper of an excellent quality, rum
ming as high as 81 per cen.. This prop
erty is owned by Frank Ingram, of Elk
creek. but recently he gave a lease and
bond to parties representing the New
York World, Of New York, who are here
at the present time considering the ad-
visibility of installing a plant of ma
chinery, Ira Pollard, of Denver, has
charge of the property for the easterner
and he is very enthusiastic over the new
strike. The Ingram's history of the
past can speak for itself, and with lit
tie more development work it will rank
among the best producers OF the county,
and Pine creek has many more just such
mines, but they will remain as they are
until capital, which is gradually coming
in, reaches them. Pine creek will yet
make name for itself to be proud of.
The Mackey mine remains shut down
until the mill, which is in course Of erec.
ton, starts up. This famous property
has large blocks OF ore ready for
breaking and hoisting, but nothing
will be done at the mine, only keep the
water out until the mill is completed.
The Rochester mine on Utah hill will
be unwatered this week and everything
will be in readiness to start up in earnest
The new machinery has been installed
but the shaft house has not yet neared
its completion. With the Rochester
Evergreen, Mackey, Ingram, Annie H
and several others, the camp is doing
wonderfully, and loud report will be
heard from there at no late date.

MUCH OTHER INTERESTING MINING NEWS

A large party OF the stockholders OF
the Jefferson Calhoun mining company
arrived over the Colorado & Southern
Monday morning on tour Of inspection
and examination OF the property, with a
view to increasing their Investments.
They examined the property in detail
and to man expressed themselves as
finding the proposition far better than
represented. All were greatly impressed
with the mining situation OF the county
and expressed themselves as pleased with
the treatment accorded them here, and
the city in general. 1t is certainly a
great big boost fol- the county to have
people from the outside well satisfied
with the mining and other conditions Of
the Little Kingdom OF Gilpin.
The management is retimbering and
enlarging the shaft on the West Calhoun
and putting in a 100 b. p. boiler and dy-
namo. On the Jefferson property the
company is going to build large new
shaft house and install therein two 100
h. p. boilers with the view Of putting in
a compressor and 75 h. p. hoist. 1t is
expected to have the improvements on
the Jefferson completed within six weeks.
In two weeks the shaft OF the West Cal
houn will be entirely cleared and the
company will be in shape to commence
sinking from the present bottom Of the
shaft, which is now 230 feet, and CON-
tinue on down to depth OF 1000 feet.
On the Jefferson Calhoun, when the i'm
provements above mentioned are com.
pleted, contract will be let to sink this
shaft to depth Of 1000 feet. At every
100 feet in depth levels will be driven
connecting the two shafts. These shafts
are about 800 feet apart. The company
have about 1900 feet OF territory in
length on the different veins which they
are operating. As soon as these shafts are
down 1000 feet the different levels will
be completed the full 800 feet and miners
put in the various Slopes breaking ore.
The company has raised sufficient
funds to put this property through de-.
velopment, 80 that it will pay at least
100000 month in dividends after de
velopment is complete and slopes and
levels in shape to yield sufficient to pay
the contemplated dividend.

stockholders Of the Jefferson, Calhoun
company who visited the property the
first OF the week are as follows: F.. C.

Mr.. Charles Gage, manager OF the
Rails County mine, situated on Quartz
hill, has been doing considerable devel-
opment work on his property lately. The
shaft has been fixed up and at present
the water is being hoisted preparatory to
sinking the shaft, which will be com

out. Some good looking ore is being

and in a few days the breaking and hoist
ing Of this ore will be commenced. For
the past few days miners have been
cleaning the sump and getting every.
thing in readiness to hoist this ore. The
ore is OF good grade, and from the sam
Piles taken very conservative estimate
was made by the management, which re-
suited in the above announcement. This
probably covers only small portion Of
the ore that really cab be said to be in
sight, rs there are various other levels
and slopes throughout the property,
many Of which contain large quantities
Of valuable ore. This mine is noted for
the many rich ore bodies that have
been making fortunes for leasers and
owners alike during the past few years.

property from being actively worked.

very good returns are received. This is

ON EARTH"
Broad assertion, you say.

Well, we can CONVINCE YOU
without a doubt. We have just re-
ceived a CARLOAD OF OLIVER
CHILLED PLOWS, and we claim that
they are the BEST ON EARTH. They
are sold all over Europe, Asia, Africa,
North and South America, and in fact
wherever land Is titled. Now, as to
their superiority over all other plows.
That is admitted by all. When you
hear this fellow, that fellow and the
other fellow say anything about the
plow he is trying to sell, he will in
variably say, "It is as good as the
Oliver" But no better, thus admit
ting that the oliver is the BEST. So,
when you buy a plow you will make
no mistake If you buy an OLIVER.
The oliver is guaranteed against
any flaws. Any part of an Oliver
that breaks as the result Of sandholes
or other defects, is replaced FREE
OF CHARGE.
