cATcH-REvIEW OF

CATCH-REvIEW OF
MONTEZUMA, Colo, Sept. t.
Mining Engineer J. r. Roots in re-
cent report on the Silver Princess
property calls attention to the fact
that this mine is situated practically
at the center of the great Sulphide
belt which finds its greatest expan-
sion at or near Montezuma. Mr..
Roots argues that the heaviest miner
aiization of the Belt would logically
be looked for at the point where its
expansion is the greatest. There is
said to be already some 100000 worth
of ore Blocked cut and in sight in the
Silver Princess simply awaiting the
necessary transportation and milling
facilities for placing it on the market;
and experts state that with these
facilities installed a production of 80
to so tons daily will be easily &C
complished.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Sept. Z.
Owing to the fact that the Portland
mine has at present more ore in sight
than it has had at any time in several
years, the average value of the ore
being considerably higher than the
average appearing for a number of
months, attention has been turned
anew to the large possibilities for
active operators and leasers in the
Bull Hill section of this camp. The
Delmonico. one of the former STRAIT
ton properties. has already discounted
these conditions, the shaft being down
about 1000 feet, the proven level of a
great number of rich strikes already
made in the near vicinity. Work at
the Delmonico is to be continued
actively with view to production on
large scale.
LINCOLNvILLE, Okla, Sept. r.
In view of the splendid ore showing
and the unusual possibilities for con-
tinued heavy production at the Hawk
eye lead and zinc property, the man
agement has decided upon an ag-
gressive policy looking toward the
thorough development of their claims.
Ten new drill holes are TO be put down
at once. large force being already
at work placing the property in con-
dition for permanent operation on a
large scale
CLOyERLY, Wyo., Sept Expert
engineers reports indicate that the
placer grounds now controlled by the
Gold Standard company are among
the richest so far discovered in this
section. AT a depth of twelve feet gold
values running as high as 81 per
cubic yard have been demonstrated
in the gravels, showing decided in
crease in comparison with surface as
SAYS. Hydraulic operations are being
pushed forward, and the aggregate of
the clean-ups likely to be turned in
during the season bids fair to make
splendid showing The fact that
the Gold Standard has been shown to
have the gold in commercial quanti-
ties adds special interest to the pres
ent operations of the management
looking toward the hydraulicking of
the graveIs on a large scale.
MANSFIELD. Ariz., Sept. John
A. Traylor of Denver, the well known
mining engineer, states that in his
opinion the Mansfield copper group,
with sufficient development work. can
be rated among the large coPDer mines
of the world. Mr. Traylor also states
that the new Mansfield smelter is now
ready for operation.
SEARCHLIGHT, New, Sept. T.
Notable progress is reported among
a number of the developing properties
of the district, the work at the Quartet
Extension attracting special attention.
owing to the energetic activity of the
company's management Their ef-
forts are being directed to locating the
extension of the big producing vein o.
4 the Quartet Expert reports would
seem to indicate that the calculations
of the engineers are more than likely
| to be rewarded
