At Tha Ornheuna.

Clever athletics dominates the bill at the orpheum this week. Fred Couture. heralded as the worlds famous unicy- clist in comedy and deeds of skill and daring. is the first number. He appears first in the rags of the conventional tramp, but his real skill is when he di- vests himself of the rags to the neat silk uniform. Riding down a twelve foot ladder blindfoIded upon unicycle is the most spectacular of his tricks, but his jump from one wheel to nn- other is his most perfect feat of bale ancing.
 The BaPneils. European Juggiers in comedy, combine dexterity with music, to the delight of the audience, who &C., corded them several rounds of applause.
 A novelty concludes the bill The Loos Brothers In their musical meat nnarket-malxing fun in a butcher shop. combine just the right amount of music and comedy that an audience appre- cfates, and their stunts at yesterdays performances will prove drawing card for the rest of the week.
 The moving pictures still prove Co be A drawing card. as they have done since the opening of the little theatre last winter.

Celebrated Hubert Mine.

The Hubert mine, one of the most
productive properties in the county
after a long period of inactivity re-
sumed operations in June of this
year. Having been idle for some
time. it was necessary to repair the
buildings and machinery in order to
resume work. The shaft also need
ed repairs down to the present water
level, which is 700 feet, which work
has all been completed and work re-
sumed in a number Of the levels
from the 700 up to and including
two levels at the 300. Ore is being
shipped from a number of the levels
at the present time. This is of a
fair grade and is found in consider
able quantities. Within fifteen
months of the present time, this pro-
perty should be tapped by the New
house tunnel. which will give 500
feet of virgin ground which there is
every reason to believe from the
past record of the mine will yield
immense quantities of ore and un-
doubtedly furnish employment for
from 75 to 1875 miners.
Newhouse tunnel which will inter-
sect the Hubert vein, is given the
past production Of the mine. The
Hubert lode was discovered in the
early SOS and was worked most Of
the time until 1900. The Hubert pre-
sents a parallel case to numerous
other mines on the line OF the New
house tunnel which are closed down
on account of the enormous expense
entailed in handling the water.

The Pewabie Consolidated
Gold Mines Company.

During the year 1908, the Pewab
ic Consolidated Gold Mines Company
has mined and shipped from its diff
ferent mines 1876 cords Of ore partly
to it's mill at Black Hawk, and partly
direct to the c. and d. sampling
go. which amounted to 5O7S.76 tons
in concentrates and smelling ores
The entire ore production since the
mines were purchased from the
Republic company, August 1904, is
$449 ,34S.69.
Considerable Improvements have
been made at the mines, under
ground by extending levels and
sinking shafts. A crosscut is driv-
en- south from the 300 level of the
Iron mine to open up the territory
lying to the south OF the two main
working shafts.

Operations Of tho Aztec Mines Co.

Among the outside corporations
carrying on most extensive opera.
tions in the county is the Aztec
Mines company, owning the o. X.
mine on German hill, which they are
working, together with the Granite,
Homer and Old Bullion claims, run
ming parallel and to the south of the
o. X. The latter lodes they hold
under lease and bond. All are being
worked through the O.. X. shaft,
which is down a depth of 735 feet.
During the year 1908 the mine has
shipped about 500 tons of ore to the
mills and smelter with satisfactory
results. Most of the work has been
done on the o. X. vein on the 5th
and 9Th levels east and west. A
crosscut has been run on the End
level south to the Homer-Granite vein
distance Of $50 feet and work is
now being done on these veins The
mine is equipped with air drills and
the water is handled by an electric
pump from the 9th level. All ore
and concentrates have been shipped
to the c. & d. Ore company at Black
Hawk and the milling has been done
by the Fifty and the Buell. plants.
The work at the mine is in charge
of Henry Gilman, who is rendering
most satisfactory services. II. Ir-
wing Jones is manager for the Aztec
people and says that during the COM
ing year the company intends to put
in new equipment and sink the shaft
another 200 feet. Crosscuts are to
be run at the lower levels to develop
the veins to the south.
Besides the properties mentioned
above the Aztec company is operat-
ing the Bench and Defiance in Rus
sci Gulch. They took possession of
these mines a year ago and have
made extensive top improvements dur
ing the year, consisting of a large
shafthouse and the installation of
more machinery. The shaft has been
sunk 100 feet, making a total depth
of go feet. Levels have been run
east and west and regular shipments
are being made from a stope east of
the shaft. Work is in charge of
John Mellow, Of Russell Gulch.

Answers to Correspondents" column
for 4 newspaper. For the conven-

The Anchor Group.

The Hearne Gold & Copper COM
pany, operating the Anchor group OF
mines in lower Willis gulch, has ac-
complished a great deal OF develop
ment during the year 1908 and big
bodies of ore are blocked out ready
for shipment. The shaft has been
sunk 100 feet and levels have been
driven east and west at the 200, 800
and 400-foot points and the mine is
looking good. A fine electrically
driven air compressor has been in
stalled and ore bins built. A tele-
phone system has been put in with
connection throughout the workings.
The most important Improvement,
however, is the tram extension,
which has just been completed. This
spur runs from the Saratoga to
the Anchor, enabling shipments to be
made over the line direct from the
mine to the mills in Black Hawk.
Shipments since the tram track was
laid have been steady and the local
mills and sampler are furnished with
an average of five tram cars of ore
a day.

Fifty Gold Mines Corporation.

When carried out, the plans for
development and enlargement of ac-
! tivities of the Fifty Corporation, will
make that proposition one of the
largest dividend payers of the rich
producing gold mines of Colorado.
These plans will be placed in exc
cution during the coming year. The
Cook shaft is now down 14OO feet,
but on account of new discoveries
at lower depths, sinking will be pros
ecuted to depth of 100 feet or more
to open up new ground.
The Fisk vein, which was lost up
until about six weeks ago has again
opened up at q depth of 14O0 feet
and is very strong. 1t is five feet
in width and carries good milling
values, with smelling ore just COM
ing in.
The Dobtail vein has been opened
up at a depth Of 14OO feet and has
been in ore for more than 400 feet.
There is between seven and eight
feet of an ore body in the drift and
considerable stopping has been done
above the level. A winze has been
sunk so feet below the 1400 level and
shows the vein to be continuous.
The new discoveries recently made
in the Fifty properties make the out
look for a heavier production bright
or than it has been In years and the
mines are in good pay dirt at several
points. During the past several
months the production has averaged
$4,000 a month. The daily produc-
ton is 90 tons of ore, of which 80
is milling and the remainder smelt-
ing.
Arrangements are being made for
the installation of new electric
pumps, which will mean a big saw
ing in the handling of the water
Electric motors have been put in at
the 14OO foot levels, which pump the
water to. the 100 and from there it
goes to the Gregory incline and is
then handled by steam pumps.
Included in the development con-
templated during the coming year is
the driving of the Gregory crosscut
from the 14OO Cook level to tap the
Gregory vein at a depth of 325 feet
below it's present workings. The
Gregory vein for a length of 1900 feet
and 500 feet in depth produced six
and one-half million dollars. Moth
ing has been done on this vein for
a period of fifteen or twenty years.
II is estimated that it will be cut by
crosscut within distance of 400 feet.
Plans are being arranged for treating
the low grade ores of the property
and the low grade product of other
mines of the county will also be
handled by the company mill. Ad-
ditional equipment is to be added to
the plant, which will make this the
| best mill in the district.

Working on the Buell..

Since the first of September, work
of unwatering the Buell. mine has
been pushed and the mine was COM
pletely drained the fore part of this
month. At the commencement of
pumping the water was up to within
40 feet of the collar OF the shaft,
which is 500 feet deep. The levels
have been cleaned out and the old
timbers have been replaced with new
wherever necessary.
Very little work has been done in the
Buell. below the 500 foot-level, which
allows vast amount of virgin ground
to be worked. This will be opened
up with machine drills, and develop
The production of this property is
over a million and a half dollars.
This record can easily be doubled
as the mine is located in the richest
gold yielding territory in the county.
A heavy output can be handled as
the arrangement of the mill in con-
nection with the mine eliminates the
transportation of mill ore.
The Buell. mill has been one of
the busiest in the county during the
year. A night and day shift have
been worked steadily. The results
the plant has been giving have been
the means of crowding the building
with ore from one month to another.
