TINTIc MINING NEWS.
New Machinery Has Been Installed at
Opex Mine.

Supt. John Roundy of the Colorado
mine in which the ore was encounter
ed last week has started sink
ing the main shaft, his intention
being TO get down beneath this body
of ore, says theEureka Reporter. 1t
was In q drift from the ESQ foot level
that the ore was opened up and n
day or two later small cave was
broken into. Supt Roundy says that
In the bottom Of this cave or opening
he did enough work to show that be-
meath the Gaping iron bleached ore
there was n body of galena from
which he got ASSAYS of ~ and 80 per
cent lead. AS soon as the main shaft
is put down to the 800 iovel another
drift will be started to tap this ore
and while this work Is going on Supt.
Roundy Will also commence sinking a
winxe in the ore. Those who have
visited the Colorado this week are of
the opinion that 1t VIII become one
of the greatest producers In Tintic.
AT the Opex mine all of the new
machinery Is now upon the ground
and some OF the parts are now in po-
sition The gailows-frame arrived the
FIRST of the week and has been taken
to the mine. The carpenters are at
work upon some of the buildings and
Supt. Swindler says that he expects to
have the engine, boilers, compressor
etc, in working order Within three
weeks. In the meantime sinking is still
going on In the shaft but 1t is impos-
sible TO make any kind of decent time
with the steam machines taht are in
use,
The Opex or Annandale property
includes the claims recently purchased
by F. Augustus Heinze and associates
who will spend an immense amount
OF money In the next year or two. The
machinery which is now being in
stalled is the best that money can
buy and the hoisting plant will be suf-
ficient to sink the shaft to a great
depth. Mr.. Swindler says that as soon
as the new hoist is in operation the
sinking will start in earnest not TO
stop until the three compartment shaft
has penetrated to depth of not less
than 1900 feet

and have not since been broken.
That there are stored IN similar

In his letter he gives considerable de-

ing that stockholders can rest assured
that all doubt as to the ultimate sue
cess Of the Gold Butte company has

He says It will be matter only of a

up to the extent that will justify the
erection OF mill. The company has
secured mill site on the banks of tho

BIG CHILEAN PROPERTY.

Interests closely Identified with the
American Smelling & Refining company
have taken hold d large copper prop
erty In Chile and what has been known
heretofore as the Braden Copper COM
pany's nine Experts claim the prop
erts to be one of the best on the South
American continent and 1t comprises in
all about $1,000 abres located at an al
titude of about 400 feet.
The deposit has been known and
worked for hundreds of years. but the
Braden mine has been In process Of
development onlf about three years.
The mine differs from te usual cop
per properties In most camps. as the
copper is not contained in veins, but in
one great mass. tie extent of which has
never yet been fully determined. All
that has been developed so far has av-
eraged over per rent copper, but this
is interspread in places by shafts and
pockets of extraordinary rich ore. Here
tofore the native miners have only TAX
EN- out and marketed ore running 20
per cent In copper or richer, and their
workings for the last hundred years or
more has been of an irregular and I'M
workmanlike character, or what mining
engineers call Gopher" work. The
main shaft OF the Braden mine Is about
800 feet deep and over $500 feet of un-
derground work has been accomplished
since the mine was opened. 1t Is claimed
that there is blocked out In sight over
100000 tons of so-called fractured
dirorite, all containing not less than
per cent copper.
The company is now building 81 rail-
road from Rancagua, point ON the
government railroad, eastward into the
mountain to the mine. distance OF
about 40 miles which is expected to be
completed about May !. The company
possesses large natural water power
and Its mine with an electrical plant OF
1000 horse power, which can be In
creased Indefinitely. When the new
railroad is completed 1t is estimated
that ore can be shipped from the mines
to New York at 81 a ton.
The company expects to produce
copper at the mine at 8 cents
a pound, when its new smelter Is COM
pleted. A new Shelter is to be erect
ed during the present year.
The Braden mine is controlled by
four interests. including Barton Sewell
the Guggenheims, the estate of the late
President Nash of the American Smelt-
Ing & Refining Co., and Mr. Baden. the
general manager of the mine. 1t is
therefore distinctly affiliated with the
American Smelling & Refining Co.. and
