Cripple Creeks New Tunnel

The importance of the new drain
age tunnel which is being driven -

the fact that it will not alone drain
the mines to an additional depth Of
nearly one thousand feet, but will
prospect the entire section through
which the bore is driven, distance
of something over five miles from
the portal to tho teaminal in the

thought that the territory opened

that the ore values to be mined

estimated over one hundred million
dollars.
The tunnel has now gone forward

is proposed to use it for transpor-

SPRING BRINGS PROSPERITY

1t is gratifying to see with the
return Of Spring the resumption
of operations among the varied
mine industries IT this locality,
which means prosperity has come
again to those within this town and
its vacinity.
Supt. Nc AIlister Of the C.F.&I.
mine is preparing the coke ovens
for immediate use and the fires
will be lighted in fifty or more ov-
ems the last OF the week.
The railroad is being opened to
Irwin and Floresta, by which the
Anthracite, at Floresta and Forest
Queen at Irwin will he enabled to
resume production aud shipments.
These mines will furnish employ
ment for several hundred men who
make this town their main trading
point.
The big shafe started last week,
10y the Pueblo Fuel company and
~reby another anthracite vein
viii he opened and put INTO pro-
duction, is to lie pushed with all
diligence Until the vein is reached,
when a large steam plant is then
to Ike installed to furnish power to
the breaker aud hoist 1t is the
purpose Of the company tc have
the new niue equipped and in full
commission before the winter and
both mires will then employ some
thing like two hundred men. The
same people who are operating the
soft coal proposition just below
town, are considering the advisa-
bility Of extending the Crested
Butte company's switch to the foot
of their tramway, whereby they
will be able to do away with mule
haulsge to the tipple quarter oil
u mile below. 1t is thought by so
doing the conpauy will save in ex-
penses sufficient to cover this a.
mount in six months operating.
This company have another large
large vein OF good coal Which it
loss than Que hundred feet below
the one now being operated, and
Oich may be opened aud put into
:oapmlssiou ut their option.
The Crested Butte Coal Co, are
preparing to open up their hard
coal property for permanent oper-
ating during the year. 1t is thought
that q spur Will be constructed from
somewhere near slate cut Leading
to the mine which is about three
miles distant from this point. If
this plan De carried out at east one
hundred men will be needed by
this company, at the mine and
tramway. 1t is reported that this
company will resume operating It's
soft coal mine not later than the
first of next moath and about fifty
men will find employment in and
about the mine.

the coal WAS soft and worthless.
1t is our judgement that the old
mine will be found to have just as
large bodies and as good coal rs
was found in the old vein and that
another twenty years of produc-
ton will not see the vein exhaust
ed.
Relative to the activity in the
metal mines we have only to site to
the work now in progress and thnt
which is in contemplation. The
Augusta is considered one of the
lesding propositions and which has
perhaps the largest improvements
now in progress, has most extern
sive ore bodies blocked out Should
the enterprise 60 forward as inten-
oed not less than one hundred men
will find employment at the mine
mills and tramway Of this comp
any.
The Forest Queen property has
also n large amount Of work in
embryo which will require not less
than fifty men, should the new
works needed at the mine be con.
structed. We understand that the
last deve lopments were entirely
satisfactory to the management, Ms
the ore opened was equal to any
ever found in the mine and the
mine and the main ore body as ex.
tensive.
it is reported that the company
owning the Gothic mill and smelt.
er are expecting to start up again
when the weather conditions are
favorable. The Blame nina is to
go on with developments and ore
production, and in the meantime
the mill will be completed and the

der new ownership, will commence
operations next month with the
purpose of putting in mining

sumner. The present tunnel which
is in several hundred feet on the
vein is to DO extended into the
mountain until it cuts the New
York vein which runs at right sng.
les to the vein upon which the
Hard Cash tunnel is being driven.
At this junction Of the two veins.
a large body of ore may be expect.
ed aud the depth at this point will
not be less than 800 feet from the
surface which will give sufficient

In respect to the Smaller prop

matter is now in allegiance but in
the meantime arrangements are
being made for the sampling and

which will be given in our next
issue, as also the advertisement

warrented in the statement that the
