The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1908-05-09

One of the local properties in which
local people are vitally interested which
is rapidly forging to the front is the
Denmark group of claims on Gold hill,
and while there has been no cessation
of work for over year past, renewed
activity is noted at this time.
This week the Gold Hill group of
mining claims, situate on Gold hill,
short distance to the southwest of
Idaho Springs and which has been de-
veloped to considerable extent, was
started up with good force of men.
The tunnel will be extended into the
mountain and work done upon some of
the veins already intersected. Last
week Alfred Reichard and S. r. Suter,
both of Denver, visited the district and
in company with J. J.. Hoban, who has
an intimate acquaintance with Gold hii
and the Gold Hill group, and made a
thorough inspection of conditions at the
property mentioned. Upon their ne
turn to this city they were interviewed
by representative of Siftings-News
and expressed their satisfaction with
the showings at the property and the
prospects for a successful outcome to
careful and scientific exploitation of
the different members Of the group.
The gentlemen named are now inter
ested in the Gold Hill group and
their visit here was at the request of
many stockholders, who are anxious to
see work resumed upon the property,
which through certain complications
has not been operated as vigorously as
wished.
The property originally was operated
under the direction of the Gold Leaf
Mining, Milling & Drainage company.
A tunnel was driven into the mountain
$50 feet, lntersecting some veins show
ing values, but no drifting thereon of
consequence was done. Then through
complications work. was practically sus
pended, and last December some of the
parties interested got together and re-
organized the company under the name
of the Gold Hill Mining & Investment
company. New officers were elected
and new blood and vim injected into the
corporation. A progressive policy was
decided on with unanimity and heart
mess which betokens we'll for the en-
terprise from this time on. The new
officers are as follows: Alfred Reichard,
of Denver, president; S. B. Suter, of
Denver, secretary-treasurer Alexander
.Stocker and Leopold Goldsmith, Of Chi
cago, directors.
As a result of the visit of the gentle
men, work was this week started upon
the Cuban vein, intersected by the tun-
mel near the breast. A level is now
driving east upon this vein. which has
a fine showing of ore assaying $64 to
the ton. This vein forms junction
with the Prussian some distance ahead
of the present breast and it is thought
that where the two veins come together
there will be found rich ore shoot, the
occurrence of which will place the COM
pany in position to maintain steady and
profitable shipments. Considerable de-
velopment work has been done upon
the Prussian and the showings from
the surface denote a strong and rich
fissure. Some shaft work is now being
doue upon this lode, with the idea of
connecting with the tunnel workings,
thereby securing needed ventilation.
BY continuing the tunnel into the
mountain, the Turk vein will soon be
reached. This is an extension Of the |
Amous Gold Leaf claim, which in the |
early days caused q great deal Of excit- '
