Activity at Highland Park.

Highland Park and the country west
OF the Lamartne district will be the cen-
terof great activity the coming summer
says the Idaho Springs correspondent
of the Daily Mining Record All the
mineral land of that section has been
consolidated under a few strong COM
panies md development plans Of con-
siderable scope have been made and
will be gotten under way The terri
tory is particularly adapted to tun-
mel mining, il most fortunate circum-
stance, as there is such quantities of
water in the mountains at that point
that other methods have heretofore
been impracticable. The Tolland
company, the Highland, and the Swift
tunnels are projected into the best
of the section and have already been
driven considerable distances. With
their further progress there cannot
fail TO be some splendid finds of min
eral for there is observable in the en-
tire outcrop the most remarkable indt-
cations of mineral to be seen any
where in the mountains. Such de-
velcpment as has in the past been ac-
complis.led by shaft workings has fur
ther indicated extraordinary mineral
iZation. All such work has been SUI
perticial and until the tunnels pene-
trate the greater depths the true ore
zone cannot be known.
This section is that lying between
the I.amartine and the Comet ana
Magnet mines 1t is a huge dyke OF
eruptive origin and characterized
throughout its length by the same for
nation found in the aforementioned
mines. which have been among the
richest To one who is acquainted
with this territ1ry there is no element
of doubt in the anticipation that other
equal ore bodies exist in undeveloped
intervals between the great producers,

Will Open Newell Tunnel.

Negotiations looking to a resump-
ton of work in the Newell tunnel
penetrating Grouse mountain, in the
Cripple Creek district, have been en-
tered into between the eastern bond
holders of the Buffalo & Cripple Creek
Gold Mining Company and local mining
men. The mining company, in addi
tion to ownership of the Winner lode
mining claim, patented property on
the southern slope of Beacon hill, holds
a twenty-year lease on three blocks OF
ten acres each on the Grouse Mountain
school section penetrated by the bore.
The tunnel already driven for dis
tance approximating 1,250 feet, has cut
numerous mineralized dykes and veins
carrying low values, and it is believed
possible under the existing low treat
ment rates to at least assist in the
expense of operating the bore by the
mining of this owgrade ore. At a
point / 900 feet in the tunnel one of
these dykes is from thirty to fifty feet
wide and values have been obtained
therein of an average value of little
under one-half ounce of gold to the
ton An expert examination of the diff
ferent leads will be made as soon as
working permit is obtained from the
East, permission having already been
secured to enter and sample the tun-
mel workings.

improvements at the Stanley.

A lew days ago Superintendent
Wolf of the Stanley mine was visited
by President Brownlee and Treasurer
Cunningham OF the Stanley Mines
Compan.y. who made a careful inspec-
ton of the company's property, says
the Idaho correspondent of the Daily
Mining Record.
Mr.. Wolf was instructed to take i'm
mediate steps to thoroughly repair and
partly remodel the Salisbury mill.
which will be placed in commission AT
the earliest possible moment. He was
also instructed to install drainage
boxes throughout the entire length of
the road adit, in order to prevent wa
ter from flowing into the workings
below the collar of the main shaft.
These workings are to be completely
unwatered, repaired and extended,
with view of operating the property
to its former capacity.
II is said that it is the intention OF
the Stanley Mines Company to make II
series of tests in the Salisbury mill
when it has been repaired, after which
a new mill, designed to treat between
80 and 100 tons a day in the most eco
nomical manner, will be erected. With
such an addition the plant at the Stan
ley mine will be one of the most com
plrte in the district.
The largest addition of mining prop
erty made by the Stanley Mines Com
pany within the last two years. now
aggregating eighty-nine patented
claims, promises to become an enter
prise of huge proportions, and the
management appears to be in skilled
hands.
The installation of the large air com
pressing plant, which IS to be To-
Gated on the site of the present Hy-
land mill. recently purchased, is Still
under consideration, and will undoubt-
edly be carried out. This will mean
effective and cheap power to many of
the adjacent and surrounding mines,
and prove very beneficial to the dis
rrict.
The Stanley company owns the en-
ire water power from its present
headgates near Fall river at the west
end-line of the city of Idaho Springs,

yelGping 1,000-horse power

NEWS FROM The MINES AND MILLS
A Matter of Comparison.

The Camp Bird company, of Ouray,
is employing IA total of about $50 men,
and is earning at the rate of better
than $l.000,000 year net In other
words. the labor of each man nets the
company on the average $1,000 year.
The product of the Camp Bird is gold;
consequently, that fact does not need
to convince patrons as 10 the merit
of its output. We doubt if there is
any industrial enterprise in the world
employing like number of men and
making 81 100000 year profit out of
the operations. We are willing to ad-
nit that the Camp Bird is an eXcep-
tion to the general rule. 1t is very rare
that mines make good to the same eX-
tent, and it is seldom that, where they
do make good. they employ such a
small force of operatives. But the
Camp Bird is one of the illustrations
that proves conclusively that there is
always a chance to get into big thing
and TO reap profit far above the aver
age. There Is also another phase that
should be taken into consideration by
investors, and that is that the mines
that make the most money are not al
ways the mines that have the greatest
ole ieSelNeS OF tne DeSL ore averages
Business management is the basic
necessity of success in mining lines.
Finding ore IS very necessary, but max
ing the greatest amount of profit on
the ores Is just as essential. The same
principles that underie success in rail
roading, in manufacturing or in mer-
chandising, must also govern mining
! operations. The particular lure about
| mining is that it may pay profit far
in excess of the average; 100000
worth of work may prove a failure or
bonanza. Geology and metallurgy
and the other branches of mining sci
ence are ever striving to reduce failure
to the minimum and advance success
to the maximum. Where rich ore re-
serves are broken into, the property
will pay greatly added percentage
without necessarily calling for any
/ more expenditures or investment But
| this gambling feature should become
entirely subservient to keen busines
, management The administrative af
fairs of a mining corporation usually
! tell the story of the success OF the
| proposition-Dail Mining Record.
