for some time past in developing this
property. Some good ore is being taken
out.
1t is rumored that the Mascot mine at
American City will be started up again
the first of the month. A winters sup
ply of coal is being hauled to the mine
by Walter Petro.
Unterassner & Co., who have the
contract for sinking the Annie H. shaft
lift of 100 feet, expect to complete
the job in about a week. This property
is in the Elk park district and nothing
definite has been determined upon as to
its future operations, but it is hoped
that the Annie H. company will decide
to work the property as it is one of the
best in the district.
| The pumps at the Evergreen in Pine
district have been pulled and the mine
allowed to fill with water, as it was con-
sidered useless expense to keep the
pumps going. Grading has been M
menced for the new concentrator, hich
the Evergreen people expect to have
completed by the first of February. At
that time the pumps will again be in
stalled and the mine operated on large
scale.
Within the past week yellow copper
ore of good quality has been struck in
one of the new drifts in the Gilpin-El
dorado mine. This property has been
showing up so well of late that the most
sanguine expectations of the operators
have been exceeded. Heavy shipments
from the Eldorado will soon be COM
menced.
Denver parties who recently resumed
operations on the Rails County mine,
have commenced to ship. This ore was
broken in the workings when the Den
yer people took possession and there is
a large quantity of the stuff. The ore
is being sent to the Buell. mill and is
| giving good returns. Manager Hart of
the Rails County, who until recently
operated mines in the Cripple Creek dis
trict, says Gilpin has no peer in Colo
RADIO for big results on fair investment.
J. R. Hastings and wife of Buffalo,
N. Y, are in the city for short time.
Mr.. Hastings is heavily interested in
the o. X. mine. The object of his pres
ent visit to the city is not only to look
over the o. X. property, but to arrange
for the commencement of operations
on several other mines in the county
that himself and associates are interest
ed in.- Mr.. Hastings says as soon as
the financial stringency is overcome
there will be unlimited capital directed
this way for the opening and develop
ment of Gilpin's mines.
The McFarlane shops have been busy
this week enlarging and remodeling the
holster on the Sleepy Hollow mine. This
improvement to the machinery of the
Sleepy Hollow will enable more extern
sive working and developing of the
property. The large body of good ore
struck some time ago in the crosscut, is
looking better than ever and regular
shipments from this ore supply is being
made. Supt. Wilkinson feels that as
soon as the enlarged holster is in readi.
ness for operation he will be able tc
raise enough ore to relieve the present
stagnation in the money markets.
The Saratoga is producing ore of a
good grade from its Newhouse tunnel
level. Tests made on a streak recently
encountered ran over three ounces gold
per ton, and the vein matter alongside
this streak carries milling values. Man.
ager Owen says he thinks the two-foot
crevice will run sls or $40 per ton.
hundred tons were broken last week
and the output will be increased from
now on. The ore will be treated at the
Wilkie mill, which will start up agar
the last of this week. Mr.. Owen hope.
to keep the mill supplied with ore from
now on. Operations in the Saratogs
are at present confined to the Newhoust
tunnel level and the 10th level east. =
