xternberRer Surveying.

L. Sternberger has engaged Engin-
eers Rank & Fowler, of Central City
to make a complete survey of the New.
house tunnel and the Saratoga lateral
and raise, connecting UP on the surface
with claims owned by Mr.. Sternberger
and his wealthy Philadelphia brother.
Sternberger owns the adjoining prop
erty to the Saratoga on the south ard
claims that the Saratoga lateral
is really his vein for some distance
east of the tunnel. The Saratoga lode
where it crosses the line of the tunnel
is vertically under the south side line
of the Cataract vein owned by Stern
berger and is 600 feet past the apex
of the CASTOR claim directly over the
tunnel line. The survey which is now
being made, when plated up will de-
termine the correctness of his conten-
tons, and if the vein is Sternbergers
in the Saratoga lateral, he will proba-
bly, be permitted to work his property
at depth.

the county clerk and recorder, by
which James H. Shepherd transferred

Calhoun Property Active.

The Calhoun shaft of the Calhoun
Tunnel and Mining company in LeaN en-
worth gulch, Ks being unwatered and
timbering is being carried down
after the water. The shaft is 9S7 feet
deep, and as soon as the bottom is
reached, large station will be cut for
the machinery. A double spool hast
and rlunger pump, both to be
operated by electricity will be il
stalled. A transformer building * 8
feet has been built of stone, and the
power transmission line has been
completed. 1t will be necessary to
sink the shaft $50 feet to reach the
depth at which the lateral now being
driven west from the Newhouse tun-
mel will interseet the point. The later
al had been driven west from the
Newhouse tunnel will intersect the
point. The lateral has been driven
8Jl feet on November I, and VIII b.
driven $500 feet further to make the
connection. Mining is being done in
the upper levels of the property, and a
fair tonnage is being produced, but It
is not marker to what will be COM
ing from the property after it has been
connected up with the New house

Old Town Novina Ahead.

Last week the Old Town shaft was
sunk distance of 80 feet in six drilling
shifts. This is record speed for shaft
sinking, considering that the force Of
men consisted of two machine men and
helpers and a bailer on the drilling
shift, six muckers and two timbermen
on the mucking shifts, and three en-
gineers on 8-hour shifts at the hoist at
the l, 500-foot station, or l6 men alto
gether. The drilling crew finishes its
IND of holes and shoots during an
S-hour shift, and the muckers are then
busy for the next 16 hours of the "a.
The Old Town shaft is being sunk 8
10 feet in the clear, or what is known
known as three-compartment shaft.
A short drift was started at the
2,O00-foot level, but station will not
be put in until after connection has
been made with the Hot Time lateral
from the Newhouse tunnel. At the
present rate of sinking the Old Town
shaft it will have reached the level of
the lateral before the heading will have
the lateral had 800 feet to- go to reach
the place, and it is certain that the
connection will be made during the
holidays.
The collar OF the Old Town
shaft and the portal of the Newhouse
tunnel, when the connection is made,
will be just So feet less than four
miles apart, through the underground
thoroughfare. On the surface the dis
tance over the generally Travelled
route is three and third miles, while
on an air line between the two points
it is only, two and two-thirds miles.
The greater part of the hundred or
more tons of ore extracted daily from the
mine at the present time is hauled to
Black Hawk over the Gilpin tramway
line, and from there to Forks creek
arA.o Idaho Springs, covering dis
tance of approximately % miles. The
advantages of transporting ore through
dition to this, every pound of ore re
the tunnel is apparent, but in ad-
maining in the vast workings of the
Old Town will be overhead, and will
not need to be lifted to the surface for
shipment, and the pumps costing
thousands of dollars win be of no use
whatever, and may be relegated to the
scrap heap, in so far as their use will be
necessary in the Old Town or adjoining
properties.
