Mininq Epitome.

The contract has been let for a
thoroughly modern shaft house 52x30
to be built for the German mine on
Quartz hill. Uranium in paying guam
titles is being taken from the 13O.
200 and 250-foot levels. 1t is the in
tention of the promoters to push the
work on this property and the force
under ground will be greatly increas-
ed in the near future.
Tuesday morning a heavy shipment
OF smelling ore was made from the
Forks mine now being operated by
Harry Armfield & Co. Fifty tons of
concentrates were also taken to the
mills for treatment during the past
week
John Chapple, of the Hubert mine.
has opened up a pocket of ore that
is bringing him good returns. This
mine. famous as one of the greatest
producers of early days again shows
signs of becoming a regular and con-
sistent contributor to the wealth of
the county.

LE0NT|NE STRIKE
Body Of Ore Opened Up at a
Shallow Depth that Will
Average $40O to Ton.

A 3oo-pound chunk of high grade
ore placed on exhibition in the Bald
Mountain post office and assaying
over $500 to the ton gave to the
Inhabitants of NevadavIie the first
intimation of strike Unprecedented
in the recent history of the camp.
The ore was taken from the shaft
of the Leontine mine on Quartz hill
and was found less than 100 feet
from surface, where a crevice three
and a half feet wide was uncov-
ereG Monday. Sinking has been in
progress on this property for two
weeks. nice pocket of ore was
discovered less than so feet from
grass roots but no thought was en-
tertained of encountering a large ore
body at depth of less than 800
feet. Therefore the discovery of pay
rock with so little development came
as a welcome and distinct surprise
to the promoters and has more than
fulfilled the fondest dreams of those
interested in the property. The news
was at once wired to the headquar-
ters of the company in Philadelphia
and orders were returned to push the
work of development and drifting to
the utmost limit. Three shifts, COM
prisins "a of the most experienced
miners in the camp are now busy
breaking and hosting the ore and the
strike appears greater as the work
progresses. Supt. James Williams
believes that there is sufficient pay
in sight to cover all the initial
expense Of labor, machinery, etc, and
then leave a handsome profit to the
company. A few weeks ago the Le-
ontine was little more than a poor
prospect. The shaft was down only
2o feet and the property had been
abandoned as a worthless and hope-
less proposition. In November, Mr..
A. knutsen, a mining engineer Of
ability, attracted by the reports Of
profitable uranium discoveries in the
Belcher and Kirk mines made a caro-
fui examination of the property in
the hope of finding another vein Of
that peculiar ore. While no signs
OF Uranium appeared, yet indications
OF lead and iron values seemed to
warrant a liberal expenditure in thor.
oushly opening up the property. He
at once sent a favorable report
his employers who were quick to act
IN accordance with his advice. The
result has fully justified his predic-
ton and today, independent of tn.
benefits to be derived from the New
house extension, NevadaviIIe has
mine that bids fair to become ths
greatest producer in the county.

Mineral Discoveries Near Golden,

Within the past few months
series of disclosures has attracted the
attention of people of this vicinity
to the fact that beneath the crust
of the surrounding hills there are rich
mineral deposits, and it seems likely
that this section will be the scene
of great mining boom in the near
future. Several good strikes have
lately been made in Mclaughlin
gulch, Golden Gate Canon. Guy hill
and Coal creek and other parts nea.
Golden.
gold copper proposition has been
opened by James Gray in Golden Gate
canon which bids fair to develope
into highly valuable mine. 1t Is
located five miles northwest of this
city. For the past year Mr.. Gray has
had a small force at work, and al
though ore making fair assays was
found in large deposits, Mr.. Gray was
not satisfied, feeling certain that be.-
ter results would be obtained That
his predictions were well based was
proved when, two weeks ago, he
opened UP q body of ore assaying
TSlo3 in gold. Mr.. Gray is backed by
eastern capitalists. and it is plan
ned to erect mill or the property
soon. as the ore is free milling.
Work is still going en- at good
rate on the properties owned by Me-
Gi)vray brothers on Robinson hill.
These men have been at 1t a long
time and are now drifting on the
vein intending to continue work all
winter. Men who have examined the
mine say that the ore bodies recently
uncovered. though small at pres.nt,
are holding on in way that is sure.
4 ly indicative of something better to
ccome. The McGilvrays last fall ship
ped several tons of ore to Central
City for treatment. netting them over
eighteen dollars per ton. They ere
preparing to send another shipment
this week. and are confident o. much
better returns.

RUSSELL MINES
Bonanza Section of the County
Operating With Renewed
Vigor- Outlook Splendid.

The work of unwatering the Lotus,
one of the Sternberger properties, is
now well under way and active work
in the levels will begin in a few
days. F. G. Wood has charge of the
property.
r. |. Hughes has steam up on the
Federal and extensive preparation is
being made for the thorough devel-
opment of the mine.
David Wood and John Stevens, les
sees of the Mississippi mine in Rus
sell district, have taken out several
tons of ore that promises to put
this mine in the pay zone in the
near future.
Mellow & Co., whose recent large
shipments of smelling ore from the
East Leavenworth have attracted
much attention, report that the re-
turns from a shipment made last
week were greatly in excess of that
received from any ore thus far TAX
en- from that profitable property.
Jones and company are opening up
new ground on the Becky Sharpe
lode. The main shaft is now down
100 feet and good indications of
large ore body at a greater depth
lend much encouragement to those
interested in the property.
The Belmont, in the upper Russell
district which has been idle for some
months, is about to resume opera
tions. John C. Williams who man
aged the property for a number OF
years will again have charge. The
mine is owned by an English COM
pany.
Russell Gulch adds note TO the
general song of cheer in the well
come news that the Pewabic will
commence sinking operations about
the 1st of February. This will give
employment to a larger force of men
and greatly add to the pay roll of
the camp.
Among the most promising of the
smaller properties in the Russell dis
trict, mention is made of the J. R.
mine, owned and operated by the
Richards brothers. This property is
exceptionally favored in its location,
it being practically under the To-
peka and only a few rods from the
Hillhouse lode. The main shaft is
down 155 feet and the indications
are most favorable for substantial
returns when the property is further
developed. The owners are now driv-
ing drift west where they have a
well defined vein about 16 inches in
width. The writer was shown
through the mine Wednesday and
samples taken from the vein show
lead and copper values which prom
Use to run into a goodly sum of mon
ey with further exploration.
TIE sun and Noon mine this week
commenced shipping everything
through the Newhouse tunnel. This
is the first time the entire product
der ground since the connection with
the tunnel was made. Part of the ore
was sent to Idaho Springs via the
wagon road until the opening made
by the connection could be timbered.
Fifty cars are furnished the Sun and
Moon people daily by the tunnel COM
pany and while more or less waste
is sent out, conservative estimate
places the amount of pay stuff trans
ported through the tunnel at 100
tons day. The ore is paying ex-
penses and returning fair profit.
