Nov ZeaIanders Dig For kauri Gum
In tho Ground
y Many New Zenlanders find 1t profit
able to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they dig. however, is not
gold or Captain Kidd's Ill gotten
wealth. though 1t has Il dull yellow
color 1t is kauri gum. resinous sub
stance which Is the product OF the
6auri pine tree. The gum can be Sc
cured from the trunks Of trees while
they are alive. for it protrudes in
Jumps, but 1t Is especially profitable
TO dig for 1t in the soil about the
6tumps remaining after the trees have
been cut down. Sometimes chunks
weighing as much rs 100 pounds are
kaken UP from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum is profitable.
eor the gum is used In the manufacture
of varnish. and apparently It is ono OF
those products OF nature whose place
cannot be filled by anything else which
has yet been discovered. 1t has been
found that 1t can be used in certain
enamel paints. and this has had tho
effect of bringing tho demand up to u
point above the supply.
The kauri pine Is magnificent tree
1T rises as straight rs n needle to a
height OF from 100 to go feet and
attains ut times diameter of fifteen
feet. 1t is noted for Its dark, dense
foliage and is much used for mnsts

CunneIl 10 Install Pump Soon.

The tiresome work of cleaning out the
shaft of the Gunnell mine in Eureka
district is being pushed as fast as pos
sible and it is expected that within the
next two weeks the water line, which
is down distance of 625 feet, will be
reached. They are now down about SIS
feet. The old Cornish pump is being
taken out of the shaft and a new one is
on the ground awaiting to replace the
old one. This consists of Knowles
sinker and station pump, and is guaran-
teed to throw out all the water that this
big property makes. 1t is safe to say
that within the next month water will
be coming out of the mine that will drain
the property in very short time. Then
the different levels will also be ready for
drifting and stoping, and the big pro-
ducer will keep the company mills run
ming at the full capacity.

Gold Collar WORKING SteadiIQ.

The compressor that was installed in
the Gold Collar mine in Prosser Gulch, is
now in good working order and is capable
of running eight Little Wonder drills.
Two drills are being employed in the
drifts and more will be put in as occa-
sion requires. The shaft is 700 feet deep
and all the different levels down to this
point will be worked. The two drills are
being used in the 400 and 500 foot levels,
and miners are at work in the other
levels cleaning the same out and putting
them in shape for continuous operation.
Good looking bodies have been opened
up in the 400 and 50O-foot levels and
shipments from here will soon COM
mence.

Castro Looking Good.

The shaft on the old Castro mine on
Winnebago hill has been cleaned out to
distance of about $50 feet. This is so
feet below the old Review tunnel,
which makes connection with the mine
at depth of 300 feet. There is 100 feet
more to the bottom of the shaft, but
the company will not do any work below
the above point, and use the remaining
for sump. Other work is being done
here and results are beginning to be re-
allied. They are drifting in the 200 and
150-foot levels and cleaning them out,
ready for stoping ground. The 15O-foot
level has just been started and is being
run into an old stope, but it will be con-
tinued as it gives large amount of stop
ing ground that has very good values in
the crevice matter. A little ore that is
mixed good deal with other rock on
account of it having been worked be-
fore and being little loose, is to be
shipped some time this week and it is
expected to give returns that will net
from $500 to $500 to the cord. Other
streaks in the mine have been assayed
and run in different grades as high as
nine ounces to the ton. For thirty years
this mine has not been worked, up to
within few months ago when the
present operators took charge of it,
and at that time it required four ounce
ore to make the property pay. Good ore
was taken out until the shaft house
burned down and as lumber and machin-
cry cost so much it was not rebuilt.
Alfred Anderson is the owner and opera
tor of the mine, doing the active work
of experimenting operations himself.

Strike In The Hot Time Tunnel.

The contractors in the lateral which is
being driven from the Newhouse tunnel
to the Old Town mine have been break
ing in fine body of ore for the past
twenty-five feet. The value of the ore
cannot be learned. 1t is, however, the
best ore that has been encountered in
the lateral. For distance the tunnel
has been off the vein and the ore occurs
at the point where the vein was re-
covered. The tunnel heading is about
1850 feet east of the Old Town shaft
and will follow the vein from now on
until the point is reached where connec-
tion of shaft and tunnel will be made.

Robert Emmett 10 Start Up.

Detroit, Michigan, parties are making
arrangements to take hold of the Rob-
ert Emmett mine in Chase Gulch and
will commence operations there within
the next two weeks, we are informed
on reliable authority. The shaft is now
500 feet deep and up to the 4O0-foot
level is full Of water. This water will
be lifted to the surface and after it is
all out and the shaft retimbered where
necessary, sinking will commenced
The different levels will also be cleaned
out and miners put to work drifting on
the same. Drifting will de prosecuted
for the opening up of more stoping
ground. This mine in the past has been
good shipper and there is every reason
to think that it will continue to prove a
good investment when little more de-
velopment work is done. Several for
tunes have been made out of this mine.

viii Repair The FIume.

A special meeting of the city council
was held Monday evening for the pur-
sose OF discussing the matter of making
needed repairs on the .fume. Marshal
Geo Launder made report to the body,
stating that he had gone through the
f1ume and made a thorough inspection
OF the same. He said he found it in a
very bad condition, with plank and tim
oers rotted and in need of thorough
rebuilding generally. He said it would
be impossible for the fume to hold wat
er should heavy rains come this spring
and great damage would be done should
1T break and flood the town. The worst
part the marshal said was in the busi-
ness section and where the Eureka hotel
stood. Here the top of the fume had
caved In at the time the hotel burned
and had never been attended to. He
suggested that all the councilmen, head
ed by the mayor, go through the fiume
and satisfy themselves as to its condi-
ton, even though it might be neces-
sary for each to have large bottle of
smelling salts. Alderman Peck also
made talk in which he urged council
to make repairs before damage should
be done by the spring freshets.
1t was decided to attend to the re-
pairing of the flume at once and it was
agreed upon that what was done should
be done right and eliminate all neces-
slty OF having to make repairs again
within short time. Aldermen Peck,
Mckay and the marshal were appointed
on committee to see the lumber deal
ers and get their lowest figures on the
material required. The committee was
given power to act in the matter.
Tuesday the committee saw all the
dealers and finally let a contract to
Thomas Belcher, of Dora Hill, and AL
bert Noarck, of Smith hill, for 25, 900
feet each at S24.O0 a thousand. The
price made by these gentlemen was the
lowest and the lumber is to be all red
wood spruce, the best procurable for
the use to which it will be put.
Marshal Launder yesterday started
men to work cleaning out the cave-in
where the hotel stood and as soon as
they have finished, work of putting in
the timbers and plank will be started.
The repairs will be pushed ahead rap
idly.

Big Values In The Eureka.

Lessees who are working in the 300.
foot level of the Eureka mine made a
great find few days ago and if the ore
continued to any distance it would not
only have made them independently
rich but would have placed them in "a
class with the Morgans, Rockefellers
and Rothchilds. This ore was rich al
most beyond belief, being worth up
wards of $1OO, 600 ton. The west 300
foot drift where this fabulously
rich ore was uncovered is in distance
of about 65 feet and the vein is about
four feet wide and good values are COM
ing from here steadily. Between the
vein and the hanging wall this small
pocket was found. 1t was almost pure
gold. There were only two or three in
ches, but the ore if assayed, would run
close to $1,000 to the ton, as the mug
gets could be picked ont by hand, and a
good quantity of wire gold appeared
A small cap box half full of gold was
taken out of the quartz from the pock-
ct. A shipment of milling dirt from
this level was sent to Black Hawk this
this week. Other lessees are working
in this same level sinking winze and
have good ore.
In the 220-foot level lessees are drift
ing and have a good showing. Ship
ments from here will commence next
week also. Stopping and raising is be-
ing prosecuted in the 40O-foot level.
Lessees have only been working the
500-foot level little over month and
are already getting good returns.
Their last shipment ran three ounces to
the ton, but the ore since has so in
creased in value that the next ship
ment is expected to bring eight ounces
if not better. This will soon be made.

Richards.Uren.

Fred Uren and Miss Nellie Richards
Tuesday received a license from the
, county clerk to become man and wife
and the wedding took place Wednesday
!, at high noon at the home of the bride s
mother, Mrs. NJ. Richards, of Russell
Gulch.
Rev. Mr.. Amundson was the officiat-
ing clergyman and joined the two low
ing hearts together. A small num-
Der was present-only the near
friends and relatives of the contracting
parties. After the ceremony a wedding
dinner was served and the happy couple
left on the afternoon train on a honey
moon trip around the state. Upon their
departure from Russell they were char
avaried in hilarious fashion by the
school children, who showered the car
riage in which they were riding with
rice, old shoes and tin pans. After
their tour of the state the couple will
make their home in Denver, where the
groom has secured position with one
of the railroads as fireman.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Uren are
well known all over the county. The
bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs.
NJ. Richards and has resided in Russell
Gulch the major portion of her life,
where she can count her friends and
acquaintances by the score. The groom
is son of Mrs. VIM. Mellow and was
born and raised in Russell Gulch. For
a number of years past he had been
driving team for his step-father, but
of late has been teaming for himself.
His many friends think highly of him
and feel that he will make a splendid
husband for the lady of his choice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Uren have the best
wishes of everyone in Gilpin county fol
a long, happy and prosperous welded

Pagan Working on Larger Scale.

At the Pagan mine in Prosser gulch
the company has put men to work in the
two lower levels, east and west. These
are 140 feet deep. Formerly they had
been working only in the east 1OO-foot
level. The latter is still being worked
and good ore is coming out of the same.
One battery is being kept busy from
here and the ore averages two ounces to
the cord. The lower levels are produc-
ing some good looking ore and it is en-
pected that good values will come from
here.

Spur ShippinQ.

A four-cord lot of milling ore is being
shipped to the mills in Black Hawk from
the Spur mine in Prosser gulch this week
and good returns are expected from the
same. This comes from stope in the
drift of the winze that they have been
working for some time. Nearly at the
breast of the tunnel they are driving a
cross-cut to intersect the Eureka vein
where it is thought good values in the
ore will be found. The property is be-
ing worked by Maloney and Kelley.

been placed over the shaft and miners
have been put to work taking out trial
run. The shaft, which is about 80 feet
deep has been unwatered and at the
bottom of the shaft two-foot vein has
been uncovered. In order to take out
the trial shipment drifting will
have to be commenced. Ernest Pull

Report Of Manager Of The Pswablc.

]. c. Fleschhutz, president, treasurer
and general manager of the Pewabic
Consolidated Gold Mines company, has
issued his quarterly report to the stock
holders and owing to the interest taken
by the residents of the county in the
development and output of these prop
critics, ranked among the largest in this
section of the state, the report is pub
lished
Central City, Colo, April 18th, 1907.
During the past three months and since
the last report has been issued, the
extensively outlined developments have
been pursued in the many klevels of
our mines. The Pewabic shaft has
reached depth of 7OO-feet and hadit not
been for an increased flow of water, the
sinking operations would have been con-
tinued, but owing to the influx of the
surface waters caused by the spring
thaws, sinking operationts had to be
stopped for the present, to be resumed
at as early date as possible. Drifts
have been driven from this point east
and west, and the evidences of a strong
and fine body of ore along the bottom of
these drifts are plainly shown. Assays
taken from this ore returned results
from $4,000 to S120. 90 per ton, and am
fully satisfied that we are just on the
eve of opening up the best portion,
carrying a higher grade ore, in our
mines.
The aggregate amount of develop
ment of levels driven amounts to $50
feet, sinking of shaft 80 feet, upraises
made from levels to levels 460 feet,
which has opened up that much more
virgin territory.
The Board of Directors concluded up
on my suggestions to lease certain por-
tions above the 400-foot level of the Iron
mine to lessees, who have permission to
continue the lease until May 1st, after
which date it is anticipated that sinking
operations in both shafts, the Iron and
Pewabic, will be resumed provided cir
cumstances will permit of same. To
date of this report, the lessees have ex-
tracted and shipped ore amounting to
S5619. 81, out of which the company re-
ceived on royalties $lS73.17.
A trial shipment of three cars of ore
sent to the Boston and Colorado Smelt-
ing Co.. has averaged S42.09 per ton,
and gave net returns of S164626. This
ore has been mined for test run from
newly developed block, and is exposed
for $50 feet in length by 200 feet in
heighth, measuring in many places A feet
in width between walls. Another large
block of ore has been partly developed
which gave assay returns LOG or. gold,
600 OF. silver, and 6 per cent. copper,
or 1886 per ton; and still another ore
shoot is being opened up, measuring G
feet in width, and carrying ore valued
about $1,000 per ton. These blocks of
ore above mentioned have been opened
up in the Iron and Richardson mines
during the last quarter, and ore in addi-
tion to the ores opened up and reported
in the last quarterly report.
