Stiil Mining silver

A streak of ore from two to three feet
wide which returns from Dds to 275
ouncrs in silver per ton in carload lots
is not a bad block of ground even with
the pres, mt price of silver. This is the
size Of the streak and the quality of ore
in the Slopes of the Bryant lease on
Belle Ic- Hudson mine. 900 feet in from
the portal of the tunnel. A. d. Bry-
ant associates are seriously threatened
with wealth as the back of the stope is
looking better with each round of holes.
On the hanging wall there is a small
grad which is being sacked for ship
ment As soon as sufficiently large lot
has formulated.

1t is estimated that the cost of driv-
ing the tunnel. and installing perma-
nent equipment, is equivalent to $50
per foot, or represents total invest
ment of less than $3.50, 900. In which
case the revenue from the haulage of
200 tons a day at 81 ton, would
yield over $40, 600 year gross, and al
lowing for the operating expenses and
maintenance, this income would GER
tainly pay more than 10 per cent. on
the investment. AS an illustration, a
couple of weeks ago one trainload Of Al
cars was pulled out of the tunnel with
a single locomotive. Each of the
cars contained more than two tons.
The one trainload shows the posibili-
ties and 200 tons day, with facilities
Iat hand, could easily be multiplied five
times, and make the revenue earning
capacity of the Newhouse no less than
50 per cent. per annum on the money

Sale on Old bic

The Tip Top claim, located on the
summit of Pewabic mountain just
south Of the county line. and adjoining
the Crown Point and Virginia and the
the Mi%sell groups of claims was sold
this week to Bloomington, ILL.,, parties
who will begin work on the property
next week The claim is still in the
prospect stage, but has an excellent
showing for the small amount of de
velopment work done. The shaft is

A New Roller Rink

Edward Schoellkopf has secured
lease on the old stone bath house
building at the mouth of Soda creek,
and on or about March l. will open the
building as a roller skating rink. A
new hardwood maple floor will be laid
and supply of steel ball bearing
roller skates will be provided. The
floor space is 60xS5 feet, making it
one of the largest Enclosures in the city
for skating. The roller skating craze
will probably stay with US for long
time, as it is fascinating and invigor-
ating sport which entertains the old as
well as the young. The new rink, be-
cause of its convenient location will
attract more visitors than would an out
the way place, and the coming winter
is sure to see everybody with skates on.

Met Death in Accident

George A. Robinson. of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, was killed last Friday in
an automobile accident at Falls City,
Neb., news of the event having reached
his former associate, James N. Bradley
in this city Wednesday. Mr.. Robinson
for many years had held the posi-
tion of general manager of the Westing-
house Threshing Machine and Imple-
ment company. at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, resigning his position on Janu-
airy l, and intending to come to this
city to take charge of the business of
the Blue Ribbon Mining, Milling and
Investment company, of which he was
the president. Mr.. Robinson is sur
vived by wife and four grown child
,en. son and three daughters, who are
we'll provided for.

invested. This estimate is not in the
least excessive
The Newhouse tunnel is four-ffths
completed. There remains yet a little
less than 4, 900 feet to take the heading
to its projected terminal under the
Eureka shaft. Its profit earning ca
pacity as stated above will remain the
same whether the tunnel is ever ex-
tended another foot or not. The tun-
mel company is independent. The three
connections with the surface, at the
Gem. Old Town and Saratoga mines,
make it unnecessary to longer main
tain artificial ventilation, and the small
amount of power required to operate
the electric trolley railway, the employ
ment Of motormen, dump switchmen,
track and car repairers. is practically
all of the expense attached to the
handling of traffic.
The present power plant and black
smith shops are maintained for the ben
eft of the mines operating in the tun
mel who purchase power from the tun-
mel company, and who patronize the
blacksmith ami repair department.
The enormous profits which will ul-
timately accrue to the owners of the
Newhouse t,rnnel from haulage alone
will make tie matter of free drainage
to few insignificant mines small in
comparison, and the tunnel company
can well afford to be philarthropic in
that regard.
There was approximately on January
l, 1908, over 5000 feet of laterals
driven on the various veins .ntersected
by the Newhouse tunnel, making alto
gether more than six miles and a quar-
/ ter of underground workings as the re.
suit of the driving of the tunnel. The
( tunnel company derived revenue from
/ hauling every car of ore and waste
taken out in extending these laterals.
The tonnage which will be coming out
at the portal of the tunnel within the
next six months will be limited only by
! the rolling stock which will be supplied
by the tunnel company for the accom-
modatioH of its patrons, and the faciL-
ties at the tunnel mouth for taking
care of the coal output

Lucky Leaser on Bruce

Work was started Wednesday at the
Bruce mine on the south slope of
Alps mountain by George f. Wrock-
loft who has secured the property by
lease and bond under favorable terms.
The preliminary work of retimbering
the main shaft will take some
time, and for tire present whim
will be erected at the collar of the
shaft to be used Until increased hoist
ing facilities are required. A gasoline
holster will then be used as the location
of the property is such that hauling
coal to the nire for the generation
of steam is hesvy operating expense.
The shaft is between 450 and 800 feet
deep and has been unused fnr more than
decade. The plg1t of ma
chinery has leng since disappeared,
having been removed in installments.
it is said by predatory parties. The
Bruce mine has produ, tion record in
the neishborhcoi of $685.
Some of the mine product has been OF
an exceptionally high grade both in
gold in silver with the ls1ter predomi-
mating Many tons of the material were
treated at the Eixsell mill years age
by amalgamatien and concentration anc
yielded uniformly good results. The
long haul from the mine TO the mill OF
the crude ore, necessarily made big
hole in the profits, but the amalgam-
concentrates and smelling ore all com
bined gave handsome returns for a
time.
George Z rmkloff, who has taken
over the Bruce property, rs the famous
leaser in the Cripple Greek district whe
made several fortunes in Il at camp for
himself and associates. His advent in
this district is significant, as Mr.
Wrocklof can secure unlirn ted backing
for any mining venture he may care to
enter into and that tle has selected rich
Old Alps mountain as the scene Of his
operations. is an adciti onal assurance
that he viii make good with the Bruce
Ths Bruce is the west extension of
the slack and is supposed 20 be on
the same vein as the Silver Rug. The
Black vein has been intersectet by the
Mammoth tunnel, and the heading of
the Perkins tunnel when extended a
a short distance will cut the Bruce vein
within a hundred feet of the east end
lines Of the Bruce claim.
Fred w. Clause and family departed
Thursday afternoon for Colorado
Springs, where they will make their

Their household goods were shipped to

probably engage in coal mining for
time. Mr.. and Mrs. Claus have lived
for many years in Freeland and this
city where they have host of friends
who regret the necessity for their de-
parture from the district.

Pine Shade LeaSerS

The members of the local pool who
have a lease on the Pine Shade vein in
the Newhouse tunnel. where they have
driven a lateral for over 400 feet are
contemplating the resumption of work
in the near future. The lease is one of
the most desirable in the camp as no
royalty is required for 200 feet above
the tunnel A good streak of milling
ore was opened in extending the later
al and smelling streak of Lad and
and zinc ore was encountered bat the
pool did not get to mining ore because
of a slight misunderstanding As to the
the method of operation. Work was
stopped some time ago and since then
some of the ground which Was not
timbered has caved in. The present
members of the pool are: Geo. l..
Hanson, Geo. Oxley, J. W. Boyd, Geo
S. Smith, Adolph Nelson, H. A. Elliott

VIII be continued ahead for hundred

ping ore to the mills. There will prob
ably be some delay in having their ore
treated, as adj of the mills in operation

capacity. With the assurance of a
large and continuous tonnage the leas-
ers can secure the treatment of their
product to better advantage than when
marketing small quantities of material.
The Columbia claim is generally be-
lieved to be on the same vein as the
Ocean Wave, the Ward, Dubuque,
May Queen and Mastadon, which big
assure courses through the district in
southeasterly and northwesterly di-
