THE KIMeERLY.wILFLEY MINES

The Mining Journal learns from President Russell. of the Kimberly Wilfley Mines company, that Mir. Scadden, the company's general man. ager, has recovered from his recent illness and is again in charge of the work at the company's mines at Ko- komo, Colorado.
 A competent construction engineer, who has had enough experience in that kind of work, has been placed in charge of installing the machinery and getting the mill ready for opera tion. The boilers have been put in place, and are being bricked in, and considerable of the machinery is al ready in position. MT. Scadden be- lieves that the mill will be ready to begin treating ore by the first of June at the latest, when the Kim berly-Wilfley mines will begin to give an account of themselves that will please the stockholders.
 This mill will treat 250 tons of ore daily. The old mill at the WiIfley has capacity of but fifty tons, yet the Wilfley is now netting its owners about $500 daily, as shown by the books. Part of this comes from ore that is being shipped directly to the shelter, being so rich that it doesn't require treatment and the results ob- tained from the ore that is treated in the old mill, (which is a ram shackle affair, and not to be com rared with the one now being crecteI in equipment or adaptation to the work, give good augury of what can be done by the new mill when it goes into operation.
 New Find on the WiIfIey.
 In the Wilfey workins a new vein of ore was cut few days ago that shows up wonderfully rich. This vein was encountered in one of the tunnels. Where cut it was but two feet wide, but it widened out to eight | within a short distance, and gives every indication of strength and ner- manence. Assays obtained of the ore establish that it is very rich, run- ming S1S.50 to the ton in gold, silver, lead and iron, in the following pro portions: Gold, s4.50; silver, $5.90; lead $4.50; iron, $4.65. This is very l promising find, and increases the eagerness of the management to ob- tain control of the Wilfley property, which will come to the Kimberly Wilfley Mines company under its con tract for purchase of the same when four more payments thereon are made.
 ! Proaress at the Mines
 On the whole, affairs have been
 moving at the mines much more
 smoothly and satisfactorily since the
 new management took charge. Inef
 ficient men have been let go and have
 been replaced by others who under
 stand the work they have to do
 Every dollar expended is now unng- | ing a full dollars worth of results | and the resources of the company are being honestly and intelligenuy l applied to development of the mine and getting the mill ready for busi ness. Mir. Scadden has been on the ground long enough to make an ex i haustive examination of both the Kimberly and Wilfley properties, and his opinion is that the two combined make a property that is 'the biggest and richest mining proposition in l Colorado" This is stating it strong | ly, but every mining man and expert who has visited and examined the properties during the past year has
 brought back reports as to the rich ness and extent of the ore bodies
 the low costs of mining and treat
 ment, and the perfect separation ot the minerals by the process now ir
 use at the wilfley mill, (and to be used in the new mill without any
 charge for royalty under the terms i of the contract with the Wilfley peo pie for the purchase of their prop erty), that bear out the statement oi Mir. Seadden.
 II Untouched Resources.
 It may be proper to mention here
 that the vein now being worked or both the Kimberly and Wilfley tract; is but one of three known to exist
 on these properties. In addition to
 the vein now being wrought there ii
 another contact vein underlying that
 which runs through both properties
 the second being at a depth of abou GOO feet below the first. This. ac
 cording to tests made. is of at least
