East Calhoun 10 UnWater.

The immence task Of hoisting the
water out OF the East Calhoun mine
was commenced last Thursday and it is
thought will take month or 80 before
the same is lifted to the bottom.The mine
is about 100 feet deep and the water is
up to the 300 foot level. There are long
levels near the bottom and there is neces-
sarily lot OF water here. The mine is
owned and operated by the jefferson.
Calhoun company, the same that is put.
ing the big shaft house over the Jeffer.
son mine, just west OF the Calhoun mines.
This will add another good mine to the
company's holdings.

Uranium from Wood Mine.

\ three cord lot OF ore was shipped to
the Rocky Mountain Concentrator from
theWood mine in Leavenworth gulch last
week and good returns are expected
This was taken out OF the 135 and 200
foot levels where stoping and drifting is
being prosecuted. Other work is stead
lily going along as usual and the mine is
looking very good. A pocket Of uran-
ium ore was hoisted during the last
week and shipment is being made up
for treatment. This ore runs very high,
going all the way from 10 cents to sl.00
per pound. Other ore OF this character
has been stripped during the past few
months and soon this will be hoisted to
go with the rest Of it.

s55O.0O ORE
IN SARATOGA
Big Vein Uncovered in Lateral Leading 10 The
Saratoga Mine..
WORK OF CONNECTION BEING STEADILY PUSHED

The Newhouse tunnel has again prov
en- that Gilpin county's veins are the
true fissure veins and extend to the un.
known depths below.
In the lateral that IS to connect the
Newhouse tunnel and the Saratoga mine
big strike was made Sunday in the
breast OF the lateral. They we're drift
ing on good crevice OF ore that gave
values of from seven to twelve ounces
to the ton. Sunday another body was
uncovered that showed immence values.
Different samples showed an average
assay OF 1920 ounces gold to the ton or
$4,000 per ton. There is six inches of
this ore and another streak running par
alell averages 9.20 OF. gold which
amounts to $4,000 to the ton.
These are the best values that have
thus far been encountered in the New
house tunnel. The vein is very strong
and from all indications it is contin-
uous. This is a very good outlook as it
will now pay for the working and also
leave a surplus.
Chances are that little stoping will
be done while the drifting is being pro-
secuted. In the meantime the unwater-
ing OF the Saratoga will be continued
until the water is all out and sinking
will be commenced. 1t is thought that
the mine will be comparatively dry when
the water is once out as the lateral is
receiving great outpouring from the
Saratoga vein now and when it is under
meath it will just simply take all the
water.

DRIFTING in Gold Retort.

AT the Gold Retort mine in Nevada
district sinking operations have been
suspended for a few days until the drifts
at the bottom have been started. The
shaft is now down distance of 200 feet,
the last lift being 80 feet. At least 30
feet more will be added to this depth as
soon as the levels are in far enough so as
the working OF them will not interfere
with the sinking operations. Much ore
is not being taken out during this de-
velopment work, although they are fol-
lowing the vein in sinking and necessar-
lily good ore is being shipped. A ship
ment OF this was made last week, but
the returns have Tot yet been ascer-
tained. A good plant OF machinery and
shaft house covers the mine and the
shaft can be sunk several hundred feet
more before any more improvements are
needed. John Lying is manager here.

Topeka Bouuht for S150. 600.

Dewey c. Bailey of Denver, U. S.
Marshal arrived here Monday and sold
the Topeka group of claims at public
auction.
The mine was held by the Richardson's
and Messrs Dimes and Lowe, eastern
parties held a judgment on the mine for
'S237 ,16. 8" AttorneyO. L. Dimes bid
S150;000 for the same and took it.
Mr.. Dimes says that they will hold the
mine for six months, giving the former
owners that long to redeem the same,
and if it is not bought back by that time
they will commence active operations on
the same.
Thus the long and bitter struggle over
the Topeka is ended and ere another
year closes this mine will help swell the
enormous precious yellow metal from
Gilpin county.

Quartz Mil Driftinq.

The drifts in the Quartz Mill mine in
Leavenworth gulch are being steadily
pushed ahead. The west level is in dis
tance Of 80 feet now and the east one is
in about 60 feet. These laterals are
down 200 feet, the bottom Of the shaft,
and are showing up very good. Some
nice looking ore is being shipped steadily
and as operations are continued show
that they contain better values. Some
very high values have been found in the
upper or 100 foot levels, but as yet the
crevice is not large enough to warrant
the shipping from here.

Pleasant VALLEY Mines Leased.
nday's Denver Post said:

The Pleasant Valley mines and mill
situated in Gilpin county. will within
the next ten days be started up under
lease taken by Eastern men. Thie prop
erty has been idls since last July. The
lease is to run four years. In the syn
dictate are some OF the persons who are
interested in the ownership who realize
that they will reap large profits from this
lease, The new operators are amply
provided with funds for extensive ex-
ploitation Of the mines and are more than
willing to apply all that may be needed.
They are interested in Utah and
Nevada mining propositions and say that
il a property like the Pleasant Valley
were on the market there score of men
would apply for leases on it. They are
all experienced miners and it is a COM
pliment to the state to have them come
and take over this property Immediately
after examining it and getting the terms.
1t will quickly add number Of pro-
ductive mines (there being seventy claims
in the group, six OF which are in pay orei
to the Gilpin county shipping list. The
mill will be put IN commission at once
and the production of concentrates com
menced. The syndicate will install
new pump at the Hill shaft, which is 430
feet deep, and use the water for milling
purposes. This mine has produced over
100000. The average value Of the ore is
s41 per ton and there is is any amount of
it.

cosur de AIene 10 Make Bio Mine.

The Occur de Alene mine on Academy
hill, operated by the School Hill Mining
Co. OF Chicago, promises to make a big
mine some OF these days, for as the mine
Is further worked the property shows up
with better results. The 25O, $50 and
400 foot levels are being worked and
some good ore is being shipped from
these points, The mine is 600 feet deep
but only the above levels are being
worked. Below the SEQ the shaft is full
OF water but this is soon to be holsted
which will give working depth to the
bottom. just as soon as the Gunnell
mine commences pumping water this
will be done as then the mine will not
make water as fast, for the water will
drain towards the latter mine The
west 400 drift is now in distance of
24o feet and they are still drifting. The
ore here runs as high as s94 to the ton.
Ore has been steadily shipped from the
$50 foot level. 1t is now about inches
wide and will run up to sl35 to the ton,
but the indications are that it will mat
eIiaily increase in the near future as
drifting is continued. This is near the
old shaft and begins to run on that vein,
which is west of the Coeur de Alene
property. A shipment of ore was made
to Black Hawk last week but the returns
have not yet been received. Contemp.
lations are that in the near future new
and large plant Of machinery will be
placed which will enable the company to
work the mine to depth OF 1000 feet.
When this is done and the water all out
sinking to this point will be commenced.
A compressor will be also installed and
probably machine drills. The company's
interests here are under management OF
john NJ. Mackey OF Black Hawk which
insures good mining and good results
for the company. J. F. Mcbride, the
treasurer of the company was here last
Friday and seemed to be much pleased
with the outlook of the property.

Old ArkanSaW.

The above well known play will be
with US at the opera house, Saturday
and for the benefit of those who have
never had the pleasure of witnessing
production Of this great comedy, written
with the view Of pleasing all classes of
people, We will give brief description.
Old Arkansaw is termed melo-dram-
attic comedy. There is an interesting
plot, replete with thrilling situations
that make you hold your breath in the
excitement o! the scenes. There are scenic
and mechanical effects that you wonder
how such realistic effects can be produced
on stage. There are specialties galore
OF the most interesting kind, original
songs, quartettes, duets, dances, both
grotesque and fancy and greatest OF all,
the funniest, side.splitting comedy scenes
ever conceived. In fact the comedy ele-
ment is the strong feature, and more
than half the evenings entertainment is
a continuous roar Of laughter. The char
acters are peculiar Of the extreme, being
taken mostly from life, the author having
spent several months in the state OF
Arkansas among the dack-woods natives,
collecting the peculiarities, dialects and
ways of those odd people. He then took
the famous Blue.Cut hold up as base
and and wove an interesting story around
it introducing those strong characters,
who are we'll known to be the most conf.
cal people on earth.
