Nye Makes Record Footaqe

Development work in three different
headings is being done in the Banner
properly of the North American Smeltsr
and Mines company. Superintendent
Nye is having the work done in the
breasts Of the Magalona and Donaldson
drifts and also in the Donaldson upraise
gentleman who was recently in tho
property states that he has never seen
better and more attractive mining work
done than is to be seen in these workings.
Everything is in the very best condi-
tion and kept in the best possible manner.
About fvs feet advance is made in
each of the workings a day and at the
end of the daily shifts samples of ore are
taken and assayed so that a complete
record of the condition of the ore is made
daily. In the breast of the Magalona
there is a two foot vein of ore that runs
from one to six ounces of gold in value
and the average value of the streak ia
about 5000 per ton. This does not take
into consideration the values Of silver and
copper In addition to this very favor
able present condition it must be re-
membered that the Magalona and Don
aldson breast are only Just entering the
rich territory that has in the past yielded
fabulous output. This mine is being
managed, developed and operated in q
thoroughly systematic manner. There
are no frills or hot air methods employ
ed. just good, sound substantial, thor
of mining that when the company gets
ready to ship they will have the property
opened up on large scale and their
shipments will count big. 1t it going to
be one of the principal bonanza mines of
the Idaho Springs district and the pride
Of the people.

Central Tunnel Progress.

The Central Tunnel OF the Big Five
company has passed the SEQ foot mark.
During the month OF January the breast
was advanced about 90 feet, making the
total length of the tunnel sO67 feet. 1t
has been thought that the extension Of
the Lake mine would be cut within this
distance, but the impression now is that
there was some error in the estimates OF
the distance of this mine from the portal
OF the tunnel and considerable driving
will have to be done to reach it. Dur
ing the month a small vein was cut but
it is only feeder. Superintendent j.
J. Willis has been giving the situation
considerable attention and has tramped
over the surface of the territory up
virginia canyon and the Pewabic noun
tain along the line of the tunnel and has
formed the impression that there has
been an error in the former estimates.
The lake is located on the east side of
Virginia canyon short distance beyond
the Two Brothers and is one Of the orig
inal 30 foot claims, it's number being
Mineral Survey No. ITO. The Windsor
Castle is an extension OF the Lake and
the Big Five will cut through the former
within 200 feet of the surface, S25OOO
have been taken out OF the Lake. The
ore is copper iron and medium grade.

An Ore Collection.

1t seems especially important that we
have before next summer, as representa-
tive as possible, collection of ores in
the public library. Some fifty specimens
OF local ores have been donated, but the
present collection is still some distance
behind other collections of similar char
acter and purpose at other places, as fol
example, at Georgetown and Central
City. In order to make good impress
sion, every mine and prospect in the
district should be represen, ed. There is
a tendency to wait for extra fine speci.
mems before giving anything to the col
lection, but this is great mistake. Any
specimen is now better than none at all
and at any time it is possible to replace
the specimen first given by better one
1t will be we'll if those who have already
given specimens of ore will look over the
specimens already on exhibit and see il
the labels are correct. In most cases
the specimens were not brought directly
to the writer, but given through others
1t is certainly to be desired that the
district gets as fine collection as possi-
ble as an advertisement of its resources

Strike in Chicago Belle

good body Of medium grade ore has
been opened up in the winze Of the
Chicago Belle claim. Superintendent
Jaynes brought down two samples on
Monday to have assayed. The first class
gave returns Of 1.O4 ounces in gold, "a
ounces in silver and $50 per cent in cop
per making a value per ton of s5O.4O.
The second class assayed 80 ounce in
gold, 1910 ounces in silver and some
copper. The value of the gold and
silver in the latter amounted to about
S20,35 per ton. The copper would prob
ably increase this sum to $500 per ton
The ore is fine quality OF quartz but
it is yet in the oxidized zone and the
values are not as large as they will be
when the winze has been sunk to suf-
ficient depth to get beyond civilization.
The streak is from six to eight inches
in width and is increasing with depth.
| There can scarcely be any question or
doubt about this growing into a very
profitable shipping property. The
Chicago Belle group of claims is located
on the high wagon road from Dumont

group is equipped with an excellent
