RICHFIELD, Dec. 3l.-Winter has ap-
parently. set in for good this season on
Gold Mountain. and has caused the sus-
pension OF all top ground prospecting ana
also considerable OF the other develop
ment work which has been In progress
during the past year
The Sewer mill has been closed down
during the holiday week 10 permit OF re-
pairs and to make some improvements
which have been deemed advisable. When
the grind is resumed after the beginning
OF the year the Sewer property is expect
ed TO establish new and influential
mark in the general development OF the
camp well as that property In partic-
ular. 1t is expected that it will be con-
tlnuous revenue-producer throughout the
year and restore TO It's intrepid promoters
much OF the capital which has been ad-
vanced to make IT the mine IT now Is.
Work is not suspended In the mine. The
condition there improves steadily and
gives the most encouraging feeling TO the
management.
After spending the season in completing
the development of the lodes on the Gold
Mountain Consolidated property, work has
been resumed In the main working tunnel
TO tap these big ore bodies at depth. This
tunnel has been driven In more than 1000
feet. When this is accomplished the prop
erty will have every facility for the build
| ing OF a mill.
The machinery for the compressor
| plant at the Franklin tunnel OF The Gold
| Development company has arrived and
I has been placed In position. Activities
have been resumed in the tunnel and the
present intention is TO keep the work 60
| Ing until Its destination is reached under
| the Edna crater. where n choice mineral
| zone Is expected This tunnel is now un-
| der cover over 1000 feet and the distance
| to go Is estimated at another 1000 feet.
Work Is continued in the j.. X N tunnel.
and in this is expected more immediate
| results.
Work has been continued throughout
the year at the Signal Peak and develop
| ments of an interesting nature arc ex-
| pected every day now.

\ put in supplies at the mine and Will deep

| at depth and al a point where they can
be miIled advantagcously.
| Fl ]. and Peter Gottfredson departed
| for their property this week with supplies

| throughout the winter.
| One of the most interesting reports
| which has come from any of the proper
lies right recently Is that from the old
| Bully Boy and Webster property, one OF
| the pioneer properties In the Marysvale
| section One carload of ore is all ready
I for shipment which assays li0 ounces of
| silver. 80 per cent lead and half an ounce
| OF gold
| Before operations We're suspended years
| ago long tunnel was in course of head
way which is over 1000 feet into the
| mountain. and which was intended TO
| reach the mineral belt at an immense
| depth; but the operators did not make
! the connection where they expected 10.
| and work on the entire property was sus-
| pended. IT is the intention of the leasers
| coming year and seek 10 reach the ore
y zone.
