ROCKFORD BORE
TO Be EXTENDED
Ompany Yields 10 Urgent
Entreaties Of Adjoining
Mine Owners And Will
COntinue Tunnel

Negotiations are now pending which il
is believed will soon result in closing
contracts for the extension of the Rock
ford tunnel an additional 900 to ?, 900
feet. AS originally planned the Rock
ford tunnel was to be discontinued as a
cross cut tunnel upon reaching the big
Donaldson vein. The tunnel was ex-
ended about hundred feet to make
certain that the vein encountered was
actually the Donaldson, aud work on the
breast has been suspended.
Ahead of the present breast OF the
Rockford in the Spring gulch section
are located large number of properties
with good ore showings in their water
soaked surface workings. The owners
of these properties are astute enough to
see the great advantage they would gain
by an extension of the big Rock ford
tunnel to the veins owned by them. 1t
is announced as almost certain that with
in the next two weeks contracts will be
signed whereby the Rockford tunnel
will be extended for the drainage and
development of these properties south of
the Donaldson mine.
The mouth of the Rockford tunnel
being located on Clear Greek, where
ample water for milling purposes is
available, aud with unexcelled railroad
facilities for the shipment of ores and
concentrates, as well as the delivery OF
supplies, makes it one of the most desir-
able tunnel properties in the district and
particularly adapted for the benefit Of
the rich section Of Spring gulch which
will be reached by continuation OF the
tunnel, at a good workable depth and
affording both drainage and ventilation
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Banner Cor solidated Miues
company was held in Denver last Wed

officers who have so efficiently conduct
ed the affairs of the company for. the past
year were again placed at the helm.
The directors were empowered to pur-
chase five claims adjoining the Banner
Consolidated group, and were author
lied to entertain a proposition for ex-
tending the tunnel as a transportation
thoroughfare for mines ahead OF thepres.

1t Must Be Authestec.

The local correspondent for Denver
paper in a special article says: Another
company whose vein has been cut by the
Newhouse is to be started up. Gilpin
county people, owners of the General
Jackson are opening up fine streak of
lead and zinc ore in their surface work
ings near the Gem mine, and they now
propose going into the Newhouse at a
point o, 900 feet from the portal and
driving eastward to catch the same ore
body. It is estimated that 600 feet Of
drifting will reach the desired block"
The General Jackson claim is fifty feet
wide and bears U. S. patent No 2oS.
The claim lies between the Garden and
Sun and Moon shafts and the survey
crosses the Hope, Garden, Minoe and
Sun and Moon claims owned by the Sun
and Moon company. 1t is generally be-
Bieved that the functions formed by the
General jacobson vein caused the ore
shoots in the Sun and Moon mine.

day of this week. The young folks took
with them all kinds of lunches, and in
addition, a raid was made on the crop of
delic Gus wild strawberries. The noun
tains in that vicinity were denuded of
wild flowers, and the day was most en-
joyably spent.
Those who enjoyed the day in the

afternoon. Miss Montrose represented
a number of eastern friends, who are
interested in this district, and during
her stay acquired an insight as to the
condition of mining industry in this sec
ton that will enable her to make an
intelligent report. Judging from her
conversation she is greatly pleased with
a number of the properties she visited.
She took several excursions under

to her delight.

GET READY FOR
ORE PRODUCTION
LuCania Tunnel Manage
Bncnl to Build Ore Bins
And Operate Under The
Leasing system.

Several loads of lumber have been
delivered at the Lucania tunnel since
Thursday, consisting of 2xS red spruce
planks which will be used in the con-
struction of ore bins alongside OF the
wagon road leading up to the
portal of the tunnel. The bins will be
"a feet long, 10 feet deep and will hold
in excess of 100 tons of ore. The work
of erecting the ore bins will be started
next Monday morning, and they will be
completed within a few days. in time for
the reception of ore already opened up
in the laterals.
The requests for leases on the veins
cut i'll the Lucauia tunnel have become
so persistent that the tunnel manage
meut has finally decided to give leases
on at least three of the veins both ways
from the tunnel. For the present the
but after the power plant at the Stanley
mine is in condition to furnish power the
work can be done by machine drills.
The tunnel company has been obliged to
use its own compressor plant, and the
breaking of valve last Monday com-
pelled the company to take off one drill
until an extra valve could be received
from the factory.
The Lucrnia tunnel company has uot
purchased nor is not contemplating the
purchase of the Champion on Bellevue
mountain, as is reported by the
local correspondent for Denver
paper The same authority states that
driving on the Kinda vein has been
started, when as matter OF fact the
owner of the claim, Mr.. G. F. Crawford
OF Kansas City. has not fully determine ed
to the satisfaction of himself nor the tun.
mel company just what vein cut by the
tunnel is the Kinda vein. In order to
| fully determine The course of the Kinda
vein on the surface for its entire length,
some little work will be nee ssary to
assist in making the surveys, which
work is now under way, under the per

Only Shy Machine Men.

Inc reports IN the Denver News of a
shortage of miners, muckers, and other
labor IN and about the mines in this sec
ton Is not confirmed by iuqairy among
the mining men of this camp. There is
no shortage OF men at the present time,
nor has there been a shortage. Several
employers who will not pay the wage
scale have been unable to obtain men.
In one Particular instance a mine mana
ger complained last week of his inability
10 get men 10 work in a very vet shaft
The reason was patent He only wanted
to pay the same scale psid miners
working in dry stope. 1t is true chat
there are but few idle men in the dis
trict. Miners who are good men in their
line Can always mske days pay or better
leasin &, in dong which they are their
own bosses, aud it is not likely that they
are going to take employment in wet or
hard ground at the average wages paid
in the district. There is demand for
good machine men in every camp III
Colorado SO that this section is not any
worse off in that respect than are neigh
boring camps. Nevada has attracted
many of the best miners, and so have
many camns in Arizona and New MeXi-
CO. The wages in these distant cam ps
are more attractive to the average min er
than the small scale paid in Clear Greek
county, regardless Of the necessarily
greater cost of living in those distant
districts

Nathan Has Nice Ore.

A fine streak OF ore eight inches
wide was opened up Wednesday Of this
week in the 800 foot or bottom level
west from the Nathan shaft, The ore in
at junction about fifty feet from the
shaft and is compased of lead, copper
and zinc sulphides, which carry suffici-
cient values in gold and and silver to
yeild returns as smelling ore. The
entire crevice matter is mineralized for
about four feet between the walls. The
ore is being piled up for shipment when
a carload lot snail have accumulated on
the dump. Manager Thomas Barnard Is
satisfied that he has good pocket Of ore
at this point, and that he has just pene-
trsted the east edge of the shoot. The
shaft on the Nathan has, been sunk on
one wall of huge horse in the vein, and
Just ahead of the point where the present
fndl was made is where the vein comes
together. The Nathan claim produced
much rich ore in the early days, some of
the surface material running over ID
ounces in gold to the ton. The claim
was purchased by its present owner,
Clarence Stephens, in 1878, and is one OF
. group of nearly halt hundred owned
by him in Banner district.

A Hot Game Tomorrow

The Pikers' baseball team will not be
able to play the Georgetown aggregation
here on Sunday as scheduled, owing to
the fact that the Georgetown team,
through its manager, has cancelled the
date. Although all kinds of inducements
were offered the team to play Idaho
Springs on the date scheduled, they
absolutely refuse to give the Pikers a
chance to prove their superiority, This
is unsportsmanlike on the part of George
town. The Pikers have made arrange
ments to play against the Goldsmith's of
Denver, one of the strongest amateur
organizations in the state, and to NOR
rows game should be the best one of

get out to the game tomorrow and root
with both lungs. The Pikers will no
doubt appear in their new togs which are
said to be very natty.

Sabin Sassy to Lawyer.

Attorney E. M. Sabiu, of this city, was
witness for the state in Boise, Idaho,
on Monday of this week. Mr.. Sabin's
testimony was to refuie the evidence of
the defense, that Lyte Gregory, the de-
tective who was murdered in Denver
was not antagonistic to members of the
Western Federation. Witnesses for the
defense attempted to establish the fact
that the w. +. NJ. could not possibly
have had any grevience against Gregory.
Lyte Gregory was particularly active in
this camp after the Sun and Moon at
tempted wholesale murder, and it was
largely due to his activity that no fur
ther deeds of violence were attempted By
the band of agitators in this district at
the time. Gregory certainly earned the
bitter hostility of these men, aud several
people here could testify as to threats
made against Gregory

Drill Into Another Vein.

When cleaning up the broken rock at
the breast of the Central tunnel early
yesterday morning. after the round of
holes blasted at the close of the previous
shift, it was discovered that another vein
had been intersected by that tunnel at
point approximately, $40 feet in from
the portal. The lode appears to be about
80 inches wide. lies at angle of IS degree
and courses almost due northeast and
southwest. The vein: matter contains
iron scattered throughout the entire
width, and has a small streak several
inches wide of solid copper iron re.
sembling concentrates. Samples of ore
have been forwarded to Denver to be
assayed under the red tape methods of
the company. and in the course Of a
week or two the results may be made
public. The vein Is believed by Mana.
ger Willis to be the Nichols lode own ed
by the tunnel com pany.
