For Far Ready for Active Work.

This property is situated in Russell
district and is under the management
of Sherman Harris Of Russell Gulch.
For the past several weeks timbermen
and miners have been fixing up the
shaft and cleaning out the different lev
els. Men will be put to work drifting
and stoping in the latter Immediately.
The shaft is 300 feet deep and the wat
err has virtually all been hoisted out, it
being below the last levels which leaves
only the sump to be cleaned out. After
the shaft is cleaned out sinking will be
commenced and continued another 100
feet if not further. Other improve
ments have been and are being made.
A good substantial shaft house has been
put over the shaft and it is very COM
modious. Carpenters are at work
building big tank outside of the shaft
building for the water to be used in the
boilers. A tramway switch is also be-
ing put in so that coal and other ma
terial can be received at the mine and
the ore that is broken sent over the
same to the mills. This mine has been
good producer in the past and promises
to become dividend payer in the very
near future.

Bio Deal BeinQ Closed.

An item in the Denver News of Sun
day stated that L. Sternberger, the
mining man, is en- route home from
New York and Philadelphia, where he
went couple of weeks ago to arrange
for the closing of deal which has been
pending several weeks on the Pennsyl-
vania and Lotus groups. This deal was
practically closed month ago and was
announced exclusively in the Observer.
The purchasers are New York and
New Jersey capitalists. The considera-
tion will be between 1880, 900 and
81, 600, 900 and will rank with the lar
gest mining sale ever made in this Sec
tion. One of the groups, the Lotus, is
located in Russell district and the other,

Powers Shipping This Week.

Several cars of second-grade ore We're
shipped to the Argo smelter from the
Powers mine in Willis gulch this week
and the first-class will be shipped the
latter part of this and the fore part of
next week. While drifting in the new
level at the 265-foot point last week a
good body of ore was opened up that
promises to run as good if not better
than the first-class ore they have been
shipping from here right along. The
streak is from eight inches to two feet
wide and shows every indication of con-
tinuing as solid as it is at the present
time. The first-class ore usually runs
from SS5.O to $4,000 to the ton. Min
ers are working in the different parts of
the mine, but are confining their work
mostly to the $50 and 265-foot levels
where both drifting and stoping is be-
ing carried on.

viii Work Slide PROPERTY.

Jack Sheneman, of Bronson, Mich,
who had been in the county the past
week looking over mining interests,
left for home yesterday afternoon. He
is interested in the Slide mine in Rus
sell district, situated between the Old
Town and Saratoga. 1t is an extension
of the Lillian vein. The shaft on the
property is 100 feet deep and about 80
feet of drifting has been done. A con-
tr< to be let for sinking and to
cross-cut for two veins lying 65 feet
south of the shaft. These will be cut
for the purpose of learning which is the
mother vein. As soon as this is ascer-
tained good-sized shaft house and
heavy plant of machinery will be put
up. The present shaft is not inclosed
and the sinking will be done with
whim. Nothing has been done on the
Slide within the past three years and
while it is little more than a prospect
ore giving values of $1,000 ton and
over has been taken out. With the ex-
penditure of little money and system
attic development the Slide win unques-
tionably become one of the paying prop
ositions the great Russell district as it
adjacent to such noted producers as the
Old Town, Pewabic and Saratoga.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY in
M|N|NGlN G|LP|N COUNTY
Big DoInqs on The East pswabIe.

A company known as the Guardian
Mining company, has taken lease on
the East Pewabic mine in Russell dis
trict and big Improvements are being
made on the same for the development
of the property on large scale. The
old shaft, which is down a distance of
about 400 feet, is being retimbered and
one of the largest and best shafts in
the county is being made. The shaft
house is being remodeled and will oc-
cupy, when finished, twice the ground
the old one now occupies. This will be
of the largest design for room and con-
venience. Foundations have been laid
for boiler, holster, compressor and
other machinery. A 100 horse power
boiler is to furnish the steam for the
running of the big plant. A 12x12
hoist is one of the improvements and a
Norwalk air compressor that will gener-
ate 400 cubic feet of air will furnish
power for the drills. Grading for the
tramway is being done, which system
will serve as a rapid and economical
means for the transportation of ore and
the hauling of material to the mine.
After the shaft is retimbered to the
bottom and everything put in readiness
for working the mine, sinking will be
prosecuted and a distance of at least
200 feet lifted.
The building and machinery to be put
up on the East Pewabic will rival the
best in the county. Since 1884 this
property has been lying idle, but at
that time some of the highest values
the county was ever known to produce
came from the shaft. This accounts
for the width of the shaft which in some
places is thirty or forty feet wide. No
trouble will be had with the water as
this vein is the same as the Old Town
and Pewabic and these latter properties
drain all the water, which makes it vir-
tually dry mine. The company has
put C. T. Austin, of Denver, in charge
of the property as manager, and John
Gundy will act as foreman.

To Drive SARATOGA Lateral.

Manager John Owen, of the Saratoga
Development company, who has been
in New York City comforting with his
associates, wired yesterday that he
would arrive home next Monday even
ing, and that arrangements had been
completed to resume driving on the
breast of the Saratoga lateral in the
Newhouse tunnel, and that the raise
stope would be abandoned and a crew of
three eight-hour shifts would be put to
work on the raise. The latter will
start in the back of the stope which is
now about 80 feet high, and will be con-
tinued a distance of 2S0 feet for con-
nection with the tenth level. The pro-
posed operations will require the SER
vices of additional miners, and it is
doubtful if they can be secured at the
present. Machine men are in great de-
mand and there are quite a number OF
operators looking for that class of
skilled operators. Idaho Springs Sift-

Machinery for The 0, Be JoyIuI.

Denver Post says the Gunnell
HillNold Mining company which re-
Gently bought the o, Be Joyful from
Gec3W. Mabee, has purchased new
planrof machinery and will begin oper-
atjo1s at once. This mine is located on
GudAell hill, adjacent to the famous
Gunnell property and is the east extern
sion of the Prize. 1t has produced
about $4,000, and considerable work
has been done on the west end. 1t has
been stopped from the 2OO-foot level to
tae surface, but the mine has not been
worked for twenty years. The new
company will conduct developments on
a large scale. There is shaft 200 feet
deep on the end of the property, ad-
joining the Newfoundland, and from it
some remarkable samples have been
taken, indicating that the property in
question will be in line with it's neigh
bors when reopened and developed.
The, company will extend the Gilpin
county tram road to its shaft for ship
ping convenience.
There are large bodies of milling ore
exposed in the shaft and lower levels.
Theslatter will be extended and the
shaft put down to depth of 500 feet.
The general plan comprehends system
attic exploitation on lines calculated to
insure heavy production. 1t is the re-
vivsl of an old, long dormant mine,
which in its present showing is capable
of being elevated to a high plane of
usefulness, not only to its owners, but
to the district at large.

Old Town Handicapped bq Water.

Owing to the delay caused by the loss
in transit of S5O-pound casing, valve
pot for the big Worthington compound
plunger pump in the 1500-foot station of
the Old Town mine, the water has been
steadily raising for the past three
weeks, says the Idaho Springs Siftings.
The miners were first driven from the
1S00-foot and 1700-foot levels and on
Wednesday were compelled to cease
work in the 16OO-foot level. Tracers
and kilograms were sent out for the
missing casting, which was said to have
been shipped from the factory May I'd,
but to date it has not been located.
Should the water raise to the 1500-foot
level where the pump station is
located it will be necessary to install
steam pumps temporarily. The delay
is unfortunate as every shift lost post
pones connection with the lateral being
run from the Newhouse tunnel.
