CONTRACT LET ON COLO cRAG

A thorough inspection of all
the workings of the Gold Crae
Mining company has just been
made by Col. Stewart Fuller Of
this city and a contract for loo
feet Of additional drifting has
just been let. The drift, which
is now in over 500 feet, is on
the hanging wall side and the
contract which has just been let
will carry the workings to a
depth of about $50 feet. The
whole face of the tunnel is heav-
lily mineralized and from differ.
ent points along the drift sam
pies of the rock have been as
|sayed. Six of these assays show
an average return of SAG to the
ton in all metals, while picked
samples have run as high as $94.
Preparatory to the winters
work, extensive improvements
are being made to the claims.
A force of six men is engaged in
the construction of a new bunk
house. the building Of a black
smith shop and in improving the
wagon road to the mine. When
this work has been completed
it is the intention to materially
increase the force of men on de-
velopment and in view of this a
full line of supplies for the
winter has already been ordered.
The showing in the drift is
said to be improving right along
and the indications are that a
good ore body may be broken
into at any time. The property
consists of seven claims and one
fraction located on Illinois gulch
at the head of Cedar creek.
These claims are traversed by a
ledge showing a surface width
of about 30 feet which has been
exploited for several thousand
feet by open cuts and other sur
face work. Development has
shown the vein to be a true fis-
sure, the filling being a gold
bearing quartz, and the walls Of
quartzite.

Progress on the new tunnel of
the American Commander COM
pany continues slow owing to
the extreme hardness of the
ground. The tunnel is being
driven through the No. 5 tunnel
Of the Gold Hunter Mine and is
now in about 1870 feet. It is be-
lieved that the side lines of the
Gold Hunter ground will be
reached in about 100 feet and
from that point it is calculated
that 20 feet will be enough to
cut the ledge.
A contract for 300 feet was let
some time ago and as soon as
the ledge is encountered drift
ing will be commenced.

FORTY EAGLES
TAUGHT To FLY
LAST night
THE FIGHTING SWEDE GAINS AN
INSIGHT INTO THE BIRD
LIFE.

Last night at the Eagles pavilion
a class of about forty were initiated
into the mysteries of Eagledom and
today there are about forty full
fiedged Eagles who just kind of wish
they had wore two pair of trousers
when they rode the goat. OF course
Andy Anderson, the pressman of the
Bonanza, was in the bunch, and what
the degree team of the birds didn't
do to him was caution. He came
limping into the office shortly after 2
o'clock this morning and calmly in
formed the editor that he had "rid
the goat but after that all was
blank. The doctors had worked over
him for two hours before he was able
to swear in Swede, but when he did
start the neighborhood knew that
Andy had recovered temporarily.
If the press work of this paper this
morning is not quite up to the stand
ard, we beg that the readers will ex-
cuse us. 1t is expected and hoped
that the fighting Swede" will have
perfected complete recovery by to-
night.
