Work 10 Suspended.

The lateral west from the New
house tunnel to intersect the jefferson
Calhoun properties was driven so feet
in ten shifts during the month of No
vember. Work was suspended tenn
porarily, it is said, while some changes
are to be made in the contract require
ments. The total length of the lateral
at this time is trifle over $50 feet,
and its projected length is over 1900
feet. 1t is understood that when driv-
ing is resumed that all kinds of records
will be made in doing the work, as the
very best crews of drillmen and muck
ers will be employed, who will be paid
a premium of the monthly footage over
a certain distance When the breast
of the Newhouse tunnel was driven
under this bonus arrangement the best
records were made in tunnel driving,
as the men have an incentive to ac-
complish results and besides worked to-
gether harmoniously.

AcClelland ~ Hes Record

The greatest record in crosscut tun-
mel driving during any month in the
past year in the lower Clear Creek
gold district was the footage made in
the McClelland tunnel in % working
shifts in the month of November,
when the heading was advanced
distance of 1856 feet. The next best
record for month was made in JAN
uary OF this year when the Newhonse
tunnel was driven 1875 feet,
The record is an exceptional one con-
sidering that this progress was made
with one drilling shift and one muck
ing shift, and that the size of tn tun-
mel is above the average, necessitating
the breaking and removal of more rock
than in the smaller sized tunnels. The
footage made in the McCleland tun-
mel in November is more than the com
bined footage made in the Seemann
Central and Metropolitan tunnels.
The credit for the excellent footage
made in the McClelland tunnel is due
to Superintendent VIM. II. Irvine
who received much of his training and
experience in driving couple Of miles
of the Newhouse tunnel. Mr.. Irvine
is considered one of the best tunnel
mining men in this section of the state
as well as one of the most ex-
pert machine drillmen in the country.
The McClelland tunnel is now well
past the 5000 foot mark and in the
# ho f,,A he,
tersect the great Freeland vein. which
is the main object for which the tun-
mel was planned. The Freeand
Development and Transportation
company which is driving the tun-
mel, owns $3.50 linear feet by actual
measurement of the famous Freeland
vein, which has produced in excess of
81, 500, 600 above the deepest workings
at 200 feet. The tunnel will cut the
vein more than half mile below the
ton of its rivers of water-courses,
which prevented the early day op-
orators from working below depth of
1000 feet. Including the Freeland
mines the company owns l35 properties
in the Freeland district, 1O4 of which
are patented and includes the Toledo,
Turner, Falu, Anchor and other mines
with good production records from the
surface.
The tunnel is magnificent monu-
ment to the efforts of its protector,
Geo. +. McClelland, ex-mayor and ex-
banker of this city, who has success
fully over come almost insurmountable
obstacles in getting together this vast
mineral estate and in financing::th the i'm
mense tunnel enterprise for it's de
velopment.

Edgar LeaSers Lucky.

Clark & company, leasing on the Ed
gar vein west of the Wilcox tunnel
made a shipment of ore this week which
ran so ounce gold and % ounces in
silver per ton, having a net value at
the sampling works of $l5.19 per ton.
The streak varies in width and as some
gray copper is now showing in the ore
it is thought that the next shipment
which show higher values.
Norton & Bowes, who have a lease
in the same level near the Edgar Union
shaft, are sinking a Wine which is
now down about thirty feet and are
sacking some yellow copper ore run
ing as high as two ounces
in gold per ton. From present indi-
cations they have small fortune in
sight in their block of ground.

Married ThanksRivin6

Miss Blanche Michel and Mr.. Harry
Gaylor, of this city. were married in
Denver at 1890 O'Clock Thanksgiving
day, at the United Presbyterian church
by the Rev J. D. Rankin. The mar
riage of the young couple was sur
prise to their friends in this city, none
of whom were taken into their conf
dence. Even the parents of Miss
Michel were not informed the event un-
til afterwards. The newly married pair
are now located in Parmalee gulch near
Morrison, where the groom is engaged
in the lumber business.

within the next few weeks In Vir-

tical Gro vein running almost parallel
with the tunnel. and this is likely to
change the calculations somewhat as to
the cutug of lodes in that immediate
vicinity at the level of the tunnel. The

Torpedo Going Again.

Work was started by hand last week
in the Torpedo tunnel for the purpose
Of maintaining the tunnel rights and to
do the assessment work on the Sunshine
group of claims which are unpatented.
A small force is employed, but beginning
the first of the year the steam power
plant will be started up and important
development work will be inaugurated.
The heading of the tunnel is near the
vicinity of several functions notably
the Bismarck and Black Eagle and
number of less important veins, and bv
connecting up with the Black Eagle
the Torpedo tunnel should become the
main outlet for the immense ore BODY
in that property, and by saving the
cost of hosting the low and medium

hauling in two, make some of the ma

M0arin6 Connection.

The Hot Time lateral in the New
house tunnel was driven $50 feet by
Contractor Knowles during the month
Of November, making its total length
west from the Newhouse tunnel line
on December l. 4,244.s feet, and l2O
feet yet to drive to reach = point
where connection will be made with
the Old Town shaft. The latter was
sunk 1877 feet during the month of
November. making its depth on Dec
ember !, 2.l63 feet. and leaving but
20 feet to sink to reach the level of the
lateral from the Newhouse.
The shAft was beingsunk at the rate
of = l-2 feet every "a hours, and the
lateral being driven at the rate Of 8
feet every day and night period.
: lursday's crew of shaftmen finished
squaring up the bottom of the shaft
and with no unforeseen delays the con-
nection between the two points should
break through next Thursday night,
December IL.
Manager Geo. X. Kimball proposes
to celebrate the event by serv.
ing a Dutch lunch in the underground
cavern to the workmen and few boon
mining companions. The "Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight" is to be
made as near like the popular song as
possible, and Manager kimball may Sc
cure the Idaho Springs brass band to
assist him in properly greeting the
meeting Of the two headings quarter
of mile beneath the surface of bleak
and breezy Russell gulch.
After the connection has been es-
tablished it is proposed to continue the
lateral westward for a hundred feet
or 80 and large station will be blast
ed out for capacious ore bins. and a
self dumping arrangement will be in
installed at the bottom of the skipway
30 that ore may be dumped
automatically in the proper bin, ac-
cording to its classification. 1t is the
intention to ship every pound of ore be-
low the l, 5O0-foot level out through the
Newhouse tunnel for the present, but
1t IL only question OF completing the
facilities until all the mine product
will be brought out in the same man.
~. The ore taken out in the
Upper levels by lsasers will probably
be hoisted to the surface and shipped
to the sampler and concentrators at
Black Hawk by way of the Gilpin
tramway as heretofore, until the need
ed changes in the equipment are made.
The Old Town main shaft is equipped
with a /, 500 foot hoist on the surface,
and separate hosting plant at the
1900 foot station. The two hosting
being cheaper to operate than one large
heavy skip running the entire 2,2OO
feet. A counter balanced double hoist
will ultimately be used in the shaft, as
the latter has been made large enoug gh
for two skipways and manway.

Specie Machinery Here.

The machinery for the Specie Pay
ment Gold Mining company to be in
stalled at the portal of the Two Bro
theirs tunnel and operated by electric
power, arrived in this city the first
of the week and is now being placed
in pysition on the foundations. 1t is ex
pected that the connections will be
completed and the electric power
turned on by the middle of next week,
after which time an additional work
ing force will be employed and the
output of the mine increased to the
available mill capacity. There is a
shortage of teams at this time and it
will he necessary for whoever secures
the ore hauling contract to OBJ
tain several additional outfits. 1t is
only a question of time when the build
ing Of an aerial wire rope tramway will
be INSTRUCTED by the company to a
mill near this city which has been under
consideration for long time Thous-
ands Of tons of the Specie Payment ore
from the lower mine workings have
been treated by amalgamation and it
was not until few months ago that
the company made extensive tests with
staight concentrates and found that
a large saving was made by that method.
The system of milling in the Newton
mills in this city is par ticularly
adaptable to the Specie Payment ores,
and the contemplated new mill will
probably be patterned after that plant.
Last week g issue of the Mining Re
porter was the last under that t te, and
the announcement is made that the
Mining Reporter and Ores and Metals
have been consolidated and hereafter
will be published under the title Of
Mining Science. Geo. j. Bancroft will

a Fortune in Sight.

The Quartz Mill mine in Russell
gulch. being operated by a pool Of
local business and mining men
under the direction of Chas. H. Fuller,
is making a remarkable showing of ore
as the result Of recent development
work, so much SO in fact, that the prop
osition has attracted the attention of
capitalists who recently sent an ex-
pert here to report on the property,
and to enter into negotiations for its
purchase. The expert expressed himself
as greatly pleased with the condition
and possibilities Of the property.
The shaft on the Quartz Mill has
Inn sunk to depth of $50 feet and
only short levels have been driven
below the first pair, above which a
large portion Of the vein has been
stopped to the surface. TIL. vein is
fiat and dips to the north, very much
like the Old Town vein. 1t unquestion-
ably takes in number of adjacent
lodes with depth, which cause the
formation of ore shoots at these
functions. In order to do away with
any possible litigation the lessees
have located claim on either side of
the Quartz Mill claim, where there
happened to be some open ground.
The Quartz Mill claim was 80 named
from the fact that in the early days
the claim furnished many hundreds Of
cords of good dirt to the pioneer
stamp mills. Some of the oxidized
surface quartz carried free gold in
large quantities and more recently in
the sulphide zone ore has been found
running into the thousands of dollars
per ton. Several members of the
pool have gold buttons made from
small quantity of the ore, which was
reduced in crucible in an assayers
furnace.
