posed that is from four to six inches
wide and assay tests show values
OF from 700 to 1000 ounces in silver
to the ton. Drifting Is being prose-
cuted, and as soon as the ground has
been opened a sufficient distance
stopping will be started. The Shively
Minis was one OF the early day heavy
producers of high-grade ore in this
district, being credited with a prcduc-
tion OF more than 100000. During
the early history OF operations on this
property no ore was extracted that
carried values of less than, 500 to
the ton. AS a result there is to be
found today large bodies OF low and
medium grade ore that can be
handled at a profit by concentration.
To this end the company is consider
iEg, the. advisability of constructing
a modern milling plant.
The Wild West mine, on Leaven-
worth mountain. lying not far distant
from the Colorado Central, has again
been entered among the list OF pro.
ducers. Collins G Co. who recently
took lease on the upper workings,
have been maintaining shipments for
the last two months. the value OF the
product varying from $50 to 400
ounces in silver to the ton AT the
time work was put under way sink
ing was started from the tunnel level,
and from the very start streak of
high-grade ore was followed. The
ore vein now measures from six to
twelve inches wide AT depth Of fifty
feet.
The New York tunnel, on Sherman
mountain. is to be driven ahead for
promising veins. This property re-
Gently passed over to syndicate of
capitalists, and In the near future an
energetic campaign Of development is
TO be inaugurated.
1t is reported that high grade ore
is now being mined from the Gam
BETA property, situated on Republi.
can mountain Since the strike of
two weeks ago was made with the
junction of the Gambetta and an
other lode being reached, the ore
streak has widened from six to ten
inches, with every indication that
even greater results are to follow
The ore is turning into a heavy lead
with the opening of the ground, the
last test showing values OF over GO
per, cent in that metal, with silver
ounces to the ton and from one to
one and one-half ounces In gold to the
ton
1t is understood that work will soon
be put under way In the remodeling
of the mill which Is located near the
portal Of the Wilcox tunnel, East
Argentine This mill now has a ca
pacity of 125 tons for every twenty
four hours. but the capacity is TO be
increased to $50 tons.
In the Peru district there Is great
deal of activity at the present time,
despite the fact that the snow lies
deep on the mountain sides. John
O'Dea manager Of the Geneva Exten-
sion company, got into camp this
week after an absence of couple Of
months. The Geneva Extension COM
pany owns the Star group of claims.
and Is at present engaged In driving
crosscut for the intersecting OF the
series of veins controlled.
Work is shortly to be resumed up
on the holdings of the Toledo Min
ing and Milling company. also situat-
ed in East Argentine, The crosscut
tunnel is to be driven ahead for the
intersection of the series Of veins
owned This bore is now in a little
over 900 feet. and previous to the sus-
pension OF work last fall vein was
intercepted that showed strong in
mineral values A streak Of heavy
lead ore is showing that Is from four
to eight inches wide, and after run
ming the drift for about fifty feet the
continuity of the shoot was demon
strated The Toledo Mining and
Milling company is being financed by
a pool of Denver attorneys.
