Pirouette
At the Piroutte this week the work
of making a foundation for the hoist
has been completed, and the road for
transporting the machinery is all ready
for use as soon as the big hoist arrives.
MI. Springer, the superintendent, has
put his crew to work running a cross
cut from the bottom of the shaft in a
northerly direction, to cut the galena
ledge which lies about $50 feet to the
north. In ~cxcavating for the founda-
tion for the hoist a large ledge was dis
covered, very similar to the one on
which the incline shaft has been sunk,
and it is expected that the crosscut will
pass through this vein within a short
distance from the main shaft. The
new body shows some fine looking sugar
quartz, and apparently carries values.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE AUSTIN COUNTRY

The operating plans of the Austin
Manhattan Consolidated Mining COM
pany for the next few months are def
nitely outlined. The 6,000-foot tunnel,
which has now been cleaned out and re-
timbercd past the 2,000-foot point, will
be finished as rapidly as three shifts of
men can do it. When completed, it will
be fitted with air pipe for ventilation,
compressed air pipe for power for drill
ing machinery, besides being wired for
electric illumination. The heavy car
track in the tunnel is found to be in
first class condition and within a week,
mule power will be used to expedite the
work of the o~verhauling gang.
The Ward Brothers have opened up a
splendid property at Ulaine in the Sho-
shonc range and have not hunted up
outside capital to assist in the develop
ment. They are old Cripple Creek
miners and know a good property when
they see it, and the strong resemblance
of the formation and ore to Cripple
Creek district kept them at work and
they have had their reward.

COALITION MINE
REPORT RENDERED

The following supplemental report
has been made to the stockholders OF
the Rawhide Coalition Mines company
by Superintendent J. G.. Flynn. form
erly superintendent of the Mohawk of
Goldfeld:
.sIf the pay ore body OF HooIigan
hin that has been opened up by the
Truett and Miller shafts goes down
another hundred feet, the kawhide
Coalition Mines company has one Dig
mine. At the 1O-foot level in the
Tructt they have an ore shoot from :
TO le feet wide, and 90 feet long, that
averages from $40 to $125 per ton.
eff it goes down, there is no reason
in the world why anybody should sup
pose that the Grutt lease, on Grutt hill
on the Wild West claim of the Coall-
ton. should not also open up a mine al
depth. because they nave crosscut the
ledge on the 100-foot level that out
erops near the collar of the shaft. This
ledge at the 100-foot level is 5 to IL
feet wide and carries values ranging
from So to $40 per ton. If this goes
down to a reasonable depth it VIII
make a mine in itself. This would
make two mines.
"Tben. there is the Smith-Seloy
shaft at another point on Grutt hill, on
Coalition ground, where they have
crosscut a ledge 60 feet wide on the
5O-foot level, that assays across the
entire width, with some very high grade
near the hanging wall. This has the
earmark Of a great mine in itself, ana
will be one if the values hold out with
depth. This, if found at depth, means
a third mine.
"On Silver King hill, which is an
other Coalition holding, situated mid
way between Hooligan hill and Grutt
hill. the shaft of the Burns lease cut
through a pay ore body on the dip at
shallow depth, and so did the Rawhide
King hill lease adjoining the Burns on
the same ground. Both of these are
seeking depth and will crosseut to In
tercept this ore body. If the Truett
people find ore at depth, there is no
reason why the Burns and King hill
people should not encountered 1t at
depth. This would make four mines ON
the vast acreage of the Coalition.
"Add to this the Proskey shaft on
the Happy Day claim, which sidelines
the Kearns No. l lease on the Queen,
and is as likely a looking working as
any. and you have five prospective
mines.
uThe force of this presentation de-
ponds, of course, on the outlook for ore
at depth in the Truett and Miller work
inps which are gaining depth fastest.
My opinion, and that of the best en-
cheering talent in the country that mas
recently inspected the workings of the
Truett and Miller leases at the lOo-foot
level, is that the ore will go down.
There is not a dissenting voice.
"Now then, if you concede that the
high grade penetrates another hundred
feet on the Truett, and that there Is
better than an even chance that all the
other important leases on the Coalition,
that nave encountered ore near the sur
face are going to get it at depth, You
demonstrate a mine proposition that is
certainly equal to the Goldfeld Con
solidated.
"Ptrsonally, 7 believe that the Coali-
ton has more than an ven chance of
proving, within a reasonable time, to
be a more valuable acreage than that of
the Goldfield Consolidated.

The original lease on the
Queen has a Bottom shipment loaded
which will go to the smelter at Salt
Lake today. The ~lessees do not look
for as high values as the last ear, as
more of the medium grade ore was put
into the shipment, but the ore should
run close to $50 to the ton. The south
drift is in ore the full width of the
tunnel and ore is being sacked for an
other shipment which will be ready
soon. The lease never looked better
and every foot of depth shows a marked
Improvement.

Makes Another Cleanup
Homer Wilson, general manager OF
the Keane Wonder, accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson, came in from the property
Wednesday night with another cleanup.
The cleanup was somewhat smaller than
the one before, owing to the fact that
the company has had trouble with its
water popes on account of the heat.
The brick deposited in the First Ma
tional bank, weighing 1861 ounces troy,
valued at between $4,000 and $1,000.
was the result of only six mill days.
The gold is of an excellent quanty, and
it is estimated that it will return at
least $3.50 to the ounce.
Still Another Plant
The rock work has been practically
completed at the Campbell custom mill
and the timbers are now being framed
for the building.
The main machinery will be shipped
from Denver June 90. A carload of
fittings will be shipped from Los An
geles in a few days. The management
will be ready for the machinery by the
, time it arrives, and the plant will be
rushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible. Last week Mr.. Campbell said
that he figured he would be ready to
run in seven weeks. A good force is
being employed and no time will be
lost in completing the plant.

(Bullfrog Miner.)

tDultifoE <htuttst
The Homestake mill turned its ma
chinery for the first time today, and in
a short while the big plant will settle
down to continuous work Of course
there will probably be the usual ad-
iustments to be made, and the usual
delays incident to starting up a new
plant of this kind, but at the most only
a few days will elapse before it will be
down to business.
The mill has been ready TO run for
some time, but there was a delay in
completing the pipe and power lines.
The plant will be operated for 90 days
by the Colorado Iron Works, the con
tractors. before it will be received by
the mining company. Everyone con-
versant with the situation who has
visited the new mill agrees that it is
one of the finest and most complete in
the state. 1t has 25 stamps, tube mills,
cyanide and all the late improvements
entering into mill practice.
b. ID. Milan of Dallas, Texas, presi-
dent of the company and one of its
largest stockholders. accompanied by
A. s. Dingee of Fort Worth, a director,
arrived in camp the first of the week
to witness the starting of the new plant.
Both are highly pleased. President
Milan says:
1--WE are thoroughly satisfied with
the mill so far. and / don't know where
you would go to find a better or a more
complete one. If there is a single flaw
in IL. il does not show on the surface.
The material and workmanship strike
me as about the best which could pos
sibIy have been obtained. The matter
of treatment was gone into exhaus-
lively before it was decided what kind
of plant would be installed, and l do
not anticipate we will have to make
any changes in the machinery
About 1000 tons of ore has been
broken down in the mine. The bins
were filed, and there remained some
600 tons yet in the slopes. In fact the
force in the mine had to be temporarily
reduced until the mill catches up,
which will only require a few days.
When both mine and mill are going In
full blast the company viii employ In
tho vicinity of IS men.
When the Homestake starts turning
ont the bullion, its production will al
most equal that of the S~hoshone, and
win very materially increase the out
nut of the Bullfrog district.
