Drifting in Pqrenese.

Most of the work in the Pyrenese
mine on Alps mountain is being prose-
cuted in the $50 and 74O-foot levels and
good ore is beginning to come from the
same. Levels at these points are being
driven both east and west, mainly for
development work. A nice streak of
ore has been uncovered in both the $50
and 740-foot levels east and the ore
carries very high values in lead. A
run of this will be tried soon and it is
expected to give good returns. The
lead bearing ore in this vicinity usually
carries good values in gold, and as the
lead is just lousy here the gold values
are expected to be good, making the
ore of an unusually high grade. The
west level is also looking good and ore
will be shipped from here soon. Com
paratiyely light work is being done on
the Pyrenese at present on account of
the limited supply of fuel on hand and
if coal is not brought into the county
within a short time the mine will have
to close down.

handicapped BIZ Lack Of Coal.

Sinking has been pushed at the Gem
mine on Alps mountain during the past
month and the shaft is now down dis
tance of about 2S5 feet. The depth is
being Increased daily. 1t has been nee
essary to go back to hand steel and dis
card the machine drills on account of
the mine not having coal enough on
hand to run the compressor. There is
no telling when more coal will be OBJ
tainabie, and only enough steam is be-
ing kept up to hoist what little rock is
being broken by the hand miners.
Operations in the other levels have
necessarily been suspended for the time
being. No ore is being shipped during
the sinking process, but as soon as the
lift is completed big block of virgin
ground will be opened up and big ship
ments will be made from the mine as
usual. 1t is thought that this sinking
of the mine will give the Gem people
some Of the richest ore they have found
in the property, as the deeper they have
gone before the better the ore seemed
to become.

Open New Level in The DelmoniCO.

Mostly lessees have been working in
the Delmonico mine and these are doing
very good. Kraemer & Co., of New
adaville, have a lease Oh block of
ground in the west 1200-foot level
where they have been drifting and
stopping the past several months. They
have nice vein of high-grade ore here
which is paying big. The cleaning out
of the east 1200-foot level of the Del
monico was commenced about month
ago and now the entire level is in shape
for continuous work. In former years
good ore was taken out of this level
and the operators made a good stake.
A raise is being made to connect up
with a back stope in the 1200-foot east
level so as to have hole through which
to throw the mill dirt from the stope
into the cars. There is a nice streak of
milling ore in this stope that ran as
high as $50. 90 to the cord when it was
last worked. The only trouble was the
miners had to pack the ore opt in sacks,
which made very tedious work. The
raise will do away with this.

New Compressor for Chlcaqo.Carr.

A new 10x12 Sullivan compressor for
the Chicago-Carr mine arrived in Black
Hawk Friday oflast week and is being
installed today. The small compressor
which has been in use will be taken out,
it being of too small capacity. Only
five drills have been in use but with the
new compressor the number will be in
creased to twelve. Gasoline power will
be used to operate the new machinery.
Good ore is being taken out of the
400 and 700-foot levels by lessees, but
all the levels are showing up well.

LARGE Pump on Old Town Breaks.

The breaking of five-foot gear
wheel used in the big electric plunger
pump on the 150-foot station of the
Old Town mine this week, necessitated
the temporary suspension of all work
for several days. Over 100 days pay
men and lessees are idle as a result of
the break. AS soon as the pump was
out of commission the water commen-
ced to raise rapidly in the shaft and all
effort was centered in trying to keep
it below the fifteenth level by using
compressed air to operate the steam
pump.
AS the compressor is run by electric
motors and it being necessary to use
the entire compressor capacity to oper-
ate the big pump, work in the various
parts of the mine with the machine
drills was suspended. Up to yesterday
the water in the shaft had raised so
feet. The parts necessary to repair
the broken plunger were expected to
arrive last night by express. After the
pump is repaired it will require two or
three days to lift the water which has
accumulated since the break.

Quartz Mill ESQ Feet Deep.

Sinking is being steadily prosecuted
with two shifts of miners at the Quartz
Mill n,ine in Leavenworth gulch these
days ana the shaft is now down a dist
ance of about 26O feet. These shifts
are being worked on the contract system
which seems to give the best satisfac-
ton. The ground for the past week
has been very soft and this fact came
near causing an accident. Before the
regular distance for the next set in the
timbering was reached several tons of
dirt caved in, making a mean hole.
This delayed them several days. At
the same time the ground began to get
soft nice streak of ore was uncovered
and there seems to be good values in
the same.

CONNECTION
NOT MADE
Only Short Distance Necessary to Drive
Raise Before NeWhouse Tunnel and
Saratoga Mine are Connected.
OTHER MINING NEWS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST

Up to the hour of going to press con-
nection between the Newhouse tunnel
and the Saratoga mine had not been
made. Heavy flows of water have
been encountered and a good sized
stream is flowing at point in the raise
about 60 feet from the top, but the top
of the raise is perfectly dry. 1t was
expected that the connection would be
effected Tuesday of this week. Miners
working in the raise are proceeding
cautiously and are keeping lorg hole
ahead of them so they will know when
they are close to the water in the Sara
toga. The men will have ample time
to reach points of safety before the
water can rush down upon them. AL
together there are more than 100 men
working in various parts of the tunnel
and these will be notified to flee should
too large an opening be made Every
thing loose is being kept out of the
tunnel so the water will have free
course.

Drifting in Caledonia.

Several weeks ago drifting was COM
menced in the bottom level of the Gale
donia mine, situated on top of Alps
mountain, and good headway is being
made. These levels are down the shaft
a distance of 100 feet and the breasts of
each have been driven about 25 feet.
A nice crevice of ore is beginning to
show up and it is thought before going
very far good vein of smelling or
milling ore will be encountered. Indi-
cations show that with greater depth
better ore will be opened and it is very
probable that after the levels are in a
little further more sinking will be done.
1t will not be long before this mine will
be on the regular list of steady ship
pers.

CITIZENS ACT
AS BRAKEMEN
Go Down TO Golden and Bring up Ten Cars
Of Merchandise and Eleven Cars Of Coal
10 Black Hawk and Central.
MINES WILL NOW CONTINUE OPERATIONS

Fearing that the county would ex-
perience coal faminine and not will
ing to take chances on an indefinite tie
up of the freight traffic on the Color
ado & Southern railway due to the
strike, the local Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday afternoon got consent of the
railway officials to bring the coal con-
signed to this section, which had been
standing in Golden two weeks or more,
into the county. The agreement was
that enough men should go from here
to Golden to act as brakemen on the
trains carrying the coal and other
freight.
Yesterday morning P. R. Alsdorf,
Herman Lundberg, Sheriff Thomas
Cody. j. l. Jones, j. c. Fleschhutz,
John Gundy, J. E. Dowden, Alfred
Skeels, Gus Marquis, Cliff. Gilbert, of
this city, and Dave Thompson and
Thomas Dunstone, of Black Hawk, left
for Golden on the regular passenger
train to do what switching was needed
and to act as brakemen. There were
FIVE engines ready at Golden to haul
the freight. In the yards there We're
10 cars of merchandise and IL cars of
coal consigned to this county. There
were also four cars of coal for Idaho
Springs, enough to last that section
several months as there is comparative
ly very little mining being done there
and hardly any fuel is needed, but this
was not bothered.
Two sections were made up, one with
two engines and the other with three.
One section left Golden at ten O'Clock
and the other at eleven. Better than
the usual schedule time was made and
the trains reached Black Hawk before
two o'clock. Switching was done at
Black Hawk and nine cars for Central
were made up and brought here. The
empty cars, which had been standing in
the local yards and in Black Hawk were
filled with concentrates and were taken
back to Denver when the engines re-
turned.
Among the men who went from Cen
tral and Black to Golden were three or
four old railroaders and no difficulty
was experienced in handling the trains.
At Golden ten or twelve strikers had as
sembled at the depot, but these were
very courteous to those who had gone
down for freight. They appreciated the
position the mine operators of the
county were in in not being able to get
coal and seemed willing to assist all
they could in pointing out the cars for
Central and Black Hawk.
With the II cars of coal that were
brought in yesterday, the shortage has
been relieved considerably. Had it not
been for the Chamber of Commerce
taking the step it did in bringing the
freight in from Golden more mines
would have had to close down and prin-
cipally among these was the Incline of
the Fifty Gold Mines company. Many
properties on Bobtail, Bates and Swede
hills and Gregory mountain are unwat-
cred through the Incline shaft and if
the pumps in this would have had to
cease through lack of coal it would en-
tail large expense to again drain these
properties. The supply of coal brought
in yesterday will keep the Incline and
a few other mines going about two
weeks and it is thought by that time
the strike will be ended and coal will be
received in the usual quantity.
