Good Silver and Gold Values.

A certificate was received from the
assayer this week OF an assay of a
new find Just encountered in the
Senator mine. The ore came from
the 300Toot level west and showed
values Of 2.40 ounces gold and 22.60
ounces silver, making it worth in
these two metals $3.50. A run for
lead was not made, but the assayer
said that the ore contained values
In this metal equal to the silver.
There Is 10inch streak of this ore
in the 300 level. making the discovery
one Of unusual extent and i'm
portance.
A carload Of good looking iron was
shipped from the Senator today to
the new Modern smelter at Argo.
This ore was taken from various
parts OF the workings and Is the first
shipment made to the new plant. AS
this concern is giving much better
satisfaction than the old smelters,
the Senator people anticipate that
they also will reap the same bene.
fits experienced by other operators
doing business with the Modern.
All. work in the Senator is now
confined to the 800. where the re-
cent find was made. The showing In
the 400 level Is good but owing to
the damp weather Of the past week.
the air at this point Is bad and It
was deemed advisable to suspend
work here temporarily.

Improvement. on the O. x.

A contract was signed this week
with the Mountain Electric company
OF Denver for a IS h. p. motor and
a ten drill Rand compressor for the
o. X. mine. According to arrange
ment the machinery must be Install
ed and working within the next sixty
days. The new compressor is much
larger than the one now in use,
which will only run four drills, and
when installed will give the o. K.
people equipment for heavy mining
operations and extensive develop
ment
The management is getting ready
to pump the water from the workings
below the 500-foot level The pumps
got out Of repair some time ago and
the mine up to the 500 point filled
with water. Operations for the pre-
sent are confined to the 200 in the
o. X. and the 200 in the Homer
Granite, which connects with the O..
X. by crosscut. Ore is being taken
from both places and the returns are
most satisfactory. ]. R. Hastings, sec
retary and treasurer of the company
is acting as general overseer and
Henry Gilman is experimenting
operations. By linking their knowledge
Of mining together, these gentlemen
manage to make the o. K. pay well.
