Sun and Moon Shape.

A lease was filed for record with the
county clerk aud recorder last Tuesday
under which the Sun and Moon Mining
and Milling company grants lease on
the Sun, Moon and % other claims at
the head Of ellison gulch and in Gilpin
county, to Colin Fraser until April !,
1911, with royalty at 25 and Is per
cent. The lease will probably be trans
ferred to the Sol Luna Mining com
pany, which was recently incorporated
and which will shortly begin work en-
the property, both on the surface and
in the Newhouse tunnel.
The Sun, Moon, Minott, William
Penn and Ia other lode claims in the
group were mortgaged to the Farmers
Loan and Trust company to cover an
issue of $75, 900 in bonds bearing six
per cent. interest and to run for five
years. The mortgage was placed On
record November 9, 1905. The funds

W ke expended in driving lateral
eastward from the Newhouse tunnel
for about half a mile. This work was
done with the ultimate intention of
connecting the end of the lateral with
a vertical shaft which was to be sunk
on the Moose vein, upon which repre-
sentatives of the company had bond
and lease. The plan was good one,
but was never carried out, but it is
ikely that at some future time the long
lateral will be put to some use.
The Sol Luna company proposes to
put through the upraise from the New
house tunnel and will sink the main
Fhaft, now l, 100 feet deep, an addition
e 200 feet to hasten the work of max
ing the connection with the Newhouse
tunnel. The main ore shoot of the
mine pitches to the eastward but was
