DEVELOPMENT IN
GOLD RUN DISTRICT

ten miles south from Golconda, will
be one OF the bonanza districts OF
the state, is beginning to be realized
by active and progressive mining
men.
The district covers an extensive
area and good values r found
everywhere; even the country rock
in places pans excellently and the
extent of valuable placer ground in
dicates immense deposits of free gold
somewhere in the hills above.
Some of these great lodges are al
ready being exposed by prospectors,
with much success and it is believed
now that the mother lode of the dis
trict has been found.
Parallel with and just below this
mother lode is an immense $50
called dry bone ledge that outcrops
and cuts the general formation for a
distance of probably two miles, and
all along the length of this great
dyke good paintings in free gold may
be had at grass roots, and veins of
ore in place as much as seven feet
wide have been found and are being
opened up by the locators.
About the most aggressive people
at present operating in the district is
the Glasgow Western company, who
employ about sixty men and are now
down to a depth of 800 feet with
their shaft and are daily hauling
about fifty tons of good ore from
the Adelaide mine in Gold Run dis
trict to their own mill and smelter
ten miles distant at Golconda.
The next in order of amount of
work being done is probably the
property taken over by Z. ]. Daugh-
ters of Salt Lake last spring and
known as the West Dip, which on
Saturday last made a shipment of
two cars of ore to Salt Lake City.
This company has made arrange
ments for the machinery necessary to
sink their main shaft to a depth of
500 feet, which will be done with as
much dispatch as possible.
There has arrived at Golconda a
small stamp mill to be erected on
the Gold Coin property, owned by A.
w. Hille and associates of Denver,
xuhO a. ic undarcfOad Mill laaxro nop-
yer along in July for Gold Run dis
trict to be present at the installation
of the new mill. Work is progress
ing nicely at this property and ore is
being taken from a 3-foot vein that
is of excellent quality and free mill
ing character. Some samples of the
ore run as high as $1,000, but it is
understood that the general average
is about $50 to $50 per ton.
The Last Chance property, owned
by S~iesenop & Roderick, has now on
the dump, sacked = for shipment,
about six tons of lead-silver ore av-
eraging $3.50 per ton, Of which there
is in the shaft at a depth of fifty feet
about three feet of ore.
1t is understood that the Labadie
properties will resume extensive OPP
erations some time in July, and it
is expected that the shipments from
this property will increase the out
put of the district very materially as
the bodies of ore are large and of
good grade.
The Hand Out group of FIVE claims
owned by Clark & Taylor, and the
Great Eastern group of two claims,
owned by A. Siesenop, and the Twin
Metals group of two claims, owned
by George Ruehl, have been taken
over by the Georgimac Mine com
pany of Denver, whose intention II
is to begin extensive development al
once. G.. H. Filing of Filing & Ed.

extremely high values in tree gold
some of which would compare favor
ably with the bonanzas of GoldflelC
and other rich districts. Only a few
days ago a ledge of quartz seven fee
wide was uncovered in an open en-
that pans the entire width an aver
age of some $50 or $40 a ton, and /
