| Further development of the Saratoga
on the level of the Newhouse tunnel has
proven the continuity of another of big
ore shoots of the old mine to that i'm
mense depth. February first the work
in the heading was resumed and on
Monday another body of ore was en-
countered which in size and value is the
greatest yet found in the deep workings.
So far as it has been penetrated the
pay streak is about seven feet wide. 1t
is heavily mineralized and carries large
percentage of the characteristic copper
of the mine in which the highest values
are always found. Shipments of every
thing broken in the drift are now being
made and while no returns have been
received from the concentrates there is
no doubt that the product is of higher
value than the average of the NINE
The point where the ore was found was
250 feet from the shaft and directly un-
der the big body of the tenth level. In
the tenth level it had length of 700
feet and at places was % feet wide.
This was the main ore shoot of the mine
upon which the shaft was sunk to 1000
feet depth. 1t was mined out to that
depth and the old stope is open from
surface to the 1000 foot level showing
that everything between walls was ship
ped. From the tunnel level to the old
tenth level there is block of ground
300 feet high which it will take years to
exhaust and the tunnel creates new
level from which operations to further
depths can be prosecuted under more
economical circumstances than was the
early mining from the surface.
The lateral will be pushed with all
possible speed to the line of the shaft,
with which connections will be made,
after which the level will be extended
indefinitely eastward. Idaho Springs

While cleaning out the shaft at the
Hunter Extension on Central City hill,
Jack Cox and his associates encounter
ed a specimen this week of very rare
specie, the formation of which only
nature herself can produce. The speci-
men is composed of copper, ,intermingled
with pieces of rock and in shape re-
sembles that of hornets nest, the in
side being hollow. Upon first inspection
one would think that it is the work of
art. 1t was taken out of the shaft at a
depth of It's feet. Some claim that
years ago an old mill die became lodged
in the shaft and with the constant drip
ping of water upon it, it melted and
formed the peculiar specimen. 1t is
certainly beautiful thing to look at
and is on exhibition at Vallero & Mat
thas place on Lawrence street. Mr..
Cox is highly elated over his find, and
says: "After taking out rubbish, cats,
dogs and donkeys, for the past two
months, it is treat to me to encounter
anything of this Sort" This mine has
not been worked for years and was used
by everyone as dumping place."
The Hunter Extension, under the able
management of Mr.. Cox, is at present
employing force of ten men and some
very good ore is being extracted. The
working force will be gradually added
to as new ground is opened up.

Manager Geo. X. Kimball, of the Old
Town mine has authorized the state
ment that it will require a months time
before the counter-balance tail rope
hoist can be installed in the 1500-foot
station of the Old Town shaft to lower
the ores to the level of the lateral for
transportation through the Hot Time
and Newhouse tunnels, says the Idaho
Springs Siftings. In the mean time
the Hot Time tunnel is being straighen-
ed at several points and trolley wire is
being strung so that the ore cars can be
handled by electric locomotives. With
the installation of the counter-balanced
holster and the extention of the trolley
system from the tunnel to the bottom
of the shaft, the Old Town property
will be in position co ship all of the ore
that can be handled from that point by
the Newhouse tunnel company. The
C.& S. railway will be a factor, for if
the railroad company cannot furnish
cars it will be impossible to get the
material away from the tunnel mouth.
1t will probably be necessary to have a
switch engine stationed permanently at
this point, and also be advisble to have
cars which can be automatically dump
ed, thus doing away with the old-fashion-
ed pick and shovel method of unloading
cars, which is both slow and expensive.
With these conveniences the big block
of virgin territory above the Hot Time
latral should yeild dividends in the not
far distant future.

Leasers in the Gold Collar who start
ed work recently, have opened up a
very good streak in the 20O-foot level
This is about eight inches wide. The
ore is of a smelling character and as
says six and half ounces to the ton.
Since the leasers commenced mostly
dead work has been done and have just
started opening up ore. The Gold Col
lar is in rich district, being situated
in Eureka.gulch, across from the Gunnell
and now that good ore is in sight can be
expected to make a noise like a big
producer this year.
