Saratoga Mining Or.

In the Saratoga mine the work of
opening old slopes and stulling ground
for slopes in the tunnel lateral is going
forward. Preparations are also being
made for building tram track east
ward from the tunnel portal for the de-
livery of ore to the Wilkie mill. All eff
forts are now devoted to making ready
for taking out and handling ore. AS
soon as production can be started work
will be resumed in the heading of the
lateral which willlbe continued to the
eastern boundary of the company's
holdings. Manager Owen and Secretary
Rogers are at the mine daily engaged
in an examination of every part of the
old and new workings and are much
gratified at the condition they find. =

Mabel Tunnel Looks cosd.

Operations are being steadily carried
on at the Mabel tunnel in Russell dis
trict by the Vigilant M. & M. company.
This property has been working for
about four months. Drifting is being
prosecuted at present and some very
good ore has been encountered, which
is of smelling grade. Very little has
been done with this property for years,
which has total production of $3s, 900.
This amount was taken from the tunnel
level and the company feels confident of
repeating the instance. The ore runs
very high in gold and silver. The COM
pany expect to pick up the Mayfiower
vein in sinking the shaft on this prop
erty and in drifting east. Here they
are in good ore and in about twenty feet
expect to open up large and continu-
GUS ore shoot. In all this property COM
prises six patented claims and this COM
pany has mapped out vast amount of
development work and will increase
their working force. H.R. Sadler is sec
retary of the company and is looking
after the property personally, with
Steve Harper as foreman.

Former Resident AccIdsnug Shot,

Mrs. Annie T. Stevens, wife of Chas.
E. Stevens of Atlanta, Idaho, was ac-
cidently shot while sitting under shade
tree in the ball grounds of that city last
week. Her daughter and some of her
young friends were shooting at target
with small revolver, when the gun
went of by accident in a young man g
hands. The ball, which was not larger
than an ordinary shot, struck Mrs.
Stevens in the breast, cutting an artery
near the heart, from which she bled to
death in few moments. A doctor was
on the grounds and did all he could for
her but to avail. Mrs. Stevens was a
sister Of w. H. Dickerson of Nevada
vile. She and her husband for num-
ber of years resided in Nevadaville,
leaving for other points about ten years
ago. Both were well known in the
county. Mr.. Stevens was superinten-
dent of the Ute, Ivanhoe and the Hubert
mines in the Nevada mining district, be-
sides being connected with other prep
critics Of this section. He is now super
intendent of the Bagdad- Chase Mining
company of Atlanta, Idaho. His ac-
quaintances and friends in Gilpin coun-
ty will learn of the sad accident with
the deepest sorrow.

Sinking on lfoquols.

The Iroquois and Lorillard properties,
situated in Russell district, are being
operated by Illinois and Denver parties,
who have started to sink lift of 100
feet on the IroQuois and when complet-
ed will make this shaft total depth of
220 feet. Good ore has been shipped
from this property and is an extension
Of the Aduddell, rich producer Of the
Russell district. Drifts will be started
east from the gulch where large ore
bodies are known to exist and has CROP
ped out on surface from time to time.

-THE "F!ETY' MINES

The extensive improvements inau-
gurated in the consolidated mines of
this corporation are now well under way
and when completed will place this ia
nous property in the front rank of
profitable producers.
The principal veins owned by this
company converge at the point where
the main or Cook shaft is located and it
is proposed to work all of them through
this triple compartment, modern, cage
shaft. The work of sinking this shaft
is progressing rapidly and station at
the fourteenth level will be finished in a
few days. From this station crosscuts
will be run to cut the Bobtail and other
veins to the south and the Mammoth,
Pennsylvania, Golden Crossing, Greg
ory and other veins of lesser note to the
north. These crosscuts will give sew
eral hundred feet of rich, virgin ground
on the principal veins. The shaft will
then be sunk another lift, stations cut
and crosscuts run as above and the sink
ing continued indefinitely. When the
veins are thus opened out, employment
will be given to hundreds of miners.
Nothing will be done with the lower
grade ore bodies left in the upper work.
ings, of which there are millions of tons,
until the capacity of the workings has
been increased to from 500 to 1000 tons
of ore per "a hours and desulphurizing
plant has been installed, thus increasing
the profits on that grade of ore nearly
LOO per cent.
The first and most important improve
ment to the working plants is the SUBJ
stitution of electric power for driving
the pumps, crushers, etc. This installa-
ton will be completed as soon as the
machinery can be had from the manu-
facturers. Later on, the Cook hoist
and most of the other machinery will be
driven by electric motors. About 1000
h. p. will be required to operate the en-
tire property.
These mines have record Of produc-
tion equaled by very few of the great
mines of the world. The veins are true
assures and the character of the ore is
such as to practically guarantee the
profitable working of the veins for
life time.
We congratulate the stockholders of
the Fifty upon the exceedingly bright
outlook for this mammoth combination
of profitable producers. There appears
to be no risk whatever Of failure un-
der the present able management.

Trans.ssaunsat,l Survey to mI,lurl

w. C. Hildebrand, chief engineer of
the Denver and Transcontinental rail-
road company, is now surveying line
from Hot Sulphur Springs to Minturn, a
distance Of thirty-five miles. This link
would connect the Moffat road with the
Rio Grande and there is much specula-
tion in railroad circles as to what this
move means. The Globe has heretofore
mentioned the fact that Hindebrand
and his engineers, after completing the
survey of the extension of the old Lake
wood road to the portal of the great Vid-
Ter tunnel, had commenced at the other
end of the tunnel and started for Sui
phur Springs or some other point in a
direct line for a junction with lthe Rio
Grande. This will complete the survey
that started from Denver. Rees C. Vid-
Ter is president and w. w. Borst secre-
tary and treasurer of the Transcontinen-
tai Railroad company. The Rio Grande
is doubtless behind this great project,
and it surely means as we believe, the
extension Of the Lakewood, now the
Denver and Inter-Mountain, on from
Golden up the canon through the Vid-
Ter tunnel, on to Sulphur Springs and
Minturn. This line will be powerful
competitor of the Moffat road. Its des-
tination when completed is San Diego,
California, and it will be one Of the
greatest and most direct transportation
lines between the coast and Denver and
the east.-Golden Globe.

MAINE AND HAMLET

Few properties in the county are MAX
ing better showing under the limited
development that has been done than
the Maine and Hamlet mines on German
mountain. These mines were acquired
by lease and bond the fore part of the
year by the Colorado & Southern Min
ing company and only since last Febru-
ary have continuous operations been
carried on. In all the levels where drift
ing is being prosecuted the ore bodies
are showing up well. In the 400 the
level is being driven east and this week
a 12-inch streak Of smelling ore was en-
countered which assays /. 40 ounces gold,
7.6O silver and 1.6O per cent copper,
which gives it commercial value of
close to $40 per ton. The driving of the
west 400-foot level is now under way
and this is beginning to show up good.
In the 200-foot level where drifting has
been pushed for several months streak
of concentrating ore has been opened up
for four feet in width and regular ship
ments of this give returns of $40 ton.
A large Sullivan compressor has been
ordered for the Maine and Hamlet and
as soon as this arrives, which will be the
fore part of next month, sinking of the
shaft will be commenced. The shaft is
now down 425 feet and it is the inten-
tion of the operators to sink 200 addi-
tional feet. In the bottom of the shaft
a six-inch streak of copper iron is ex-
posed, the values of which will more
than pay the sinking operations when
the ore is extracted.
The Hamlet is owned by Steve Brer-
eton of Denver, who also holds one
third interest in the Maine. These
mines have past production record of
over 500, 900, and from statements
made by mill men who have treated the
ore taken out of the levels now opened,
the dirt always ran well. Under the
management now in charge of the prop
critics indications are that these old pro-
ducers will again add their quota to the
heavy output of Gilpin county's fore
most producers. The mines are in the
very midst of properties that have al
ways been counted among the richest of
the district. They endline on the cele-
brated o. K, mine that is daily ad-
ding largely to the wealth production Of
this section. ---.----s- li---f
Yesterday several stockholders of the
C. & S. Mining company from Denver,
together with some prospective invest
ors from the east, arrived in the city
and made visit to the properties. They
were well satisfied with the showing
made and the work that;is being done.

DIES IN KANSAS

C. B. Alexander, well-known miner
of this City, died in Ottowa, Kas.,
Monday and the remains were shipped
here this morning. He was prom
inent member of the local order of
Eagles and left here three weeks ago
for Norfolk, Va, to attend the meeting
of the grand lodge as a delegate from
Central City aerie. His wife accom-
panied him as far as Ottowa and re-
manned there with his parents.
Shortly before his departure he had
left his bed after sick spell which left
him in very enfeebled condition, but
thought that he could make the trip. As
soon as he reached Norfolk he suffered
complete collapse and had to be taken
to his room. He lay in bed week and
then his brother who was with him,
upon the advice of the physician, owing
to the extreme low altitude of Norfolk,
it being below sea level, he was taken
to Ottowa as soon as he could be moved.
He reached Ottowa on Wednesday last
and died Monday. The doctor pronounc-
ed typhoid fever as the cause of death.
The remains were to have arrived last
evening and members of the Eagles and
w. F. of M. were at the depot in Black
Hawk to receive the body. Connections
were missed at La Junta and the re-
mains did not arrive until this morning
C. B. Alexander was 81 years of age.
He was born in Ohio and came to this
city from Cripple Creek three years
ago. Since his arrival here he has
worked in various mines in the county
and at the time of his death was leasing
on the Barnes. He was man well
thought of in the community, upright
and straightforward in all his dealings.
Those for whom he worked always
spoke well of him as a miner and his eff
cheney in his work made it possible for
him to always have steady employment.
His death will be a decided loss to the
lodges and organizations with which he
was affiliated as he was ever an earnest
worker.
Besides wife and little daughter six
years of age, in this city, mother,
father, three sisters and three brothers
survive him. The heartfelt sympathy
Of this community is extended the be-
reaved relatives in their loss of good
and faithful member Of their family
circle.
The funeral will be held Sunday af-
ternoon from the late residence of the
deceased at o'clock and will be in
charge of the Eagles and w. F. of M.
