PEWAsIc PROPERTIES
WORKED BY LEssEES

We are informed from reliable
sources that the lessees on the Pc
wabic mines are doing very nicely
, In their several leases. Jos. Ress has
shipped in the month Of July one car
Of ore averaging $4,000 per ton. re-
ceiving check from the North Am.
erican Smelling company. of Golden,
for $2222.00. Another car shipped last
week netted $1750.00, and still
another car. not yet heard from, will
be equally as good as the last car
shipped. Wagner Is developing an ore
shoot $50 feet in length, showing a
large crevice of good milling ore be-
ing made ready for large production
shortly.
The Richardson mine, leased by
Westcott, is shipping a carload Of
smelling ore, which is estimated will
average above ounces gold per ton
Mr.. Westcott will also be in line for
shipment of a considerable quantity
Of milling ore.
John Gundy with associates have
taken lease on the Pewabic west
shaft and are repairing the shaft for
active operations. From indications
the party has a very profitable lease
in that block of ground. Samples TAX
en- from that block of ground show
better than ounces gold per cord.
The East Pewabic, under lease to
the Gilpin-Hurricane Gold Mining Co.,
has been sunk 100 feet and will be-
gin the production of a good grade of
ore very shortly There are two veins
in the shaft each from four to eight
feet in width. 1t Is fair to presume
that the production from there will
be very large and profitable to them.
The Gilpin-Hurricane company may
congratulate itself, having been for
tunate enough in securing this lease.
The Pewabic Consolidated Gold
mines at present regarded as some
of the best in the district, but have
had two high-class mining engineers
examine the mines for the purpose
of outlining a plan Of resumption of
operations on a large scale. Both en-
gineers report 100000 tons of ore in
sight. averaging $3.50 per ton, which
will be a good profit bearing product
after the contemplated remodelling Of
the acompsny's mill-the New York
mill into modern and up-to-date
plant. This mill is operating on the
ores shipped by the lessees.

MILL CONTRACT LET

Last night contract was signed by
the Frontenac Consolidated Mines
company with McFarlane G Sons for
the erection Of the big concentrator
which has been the talk of the coun-
ty for some time. This is to be a
modern concentrator in every sense
of the term. 1t will have a daily cap
acity Of 300 tons of ore. For the
present, however, the plant will be
equipped to handle but 200 tons
daily. AS soon as additional ore
bodies are opened up in the proper.
ties of the Frontenac company to
necessitate increased equipment the
capacity will be raised to the full
300 tons.
The mill is to be erected on the
site where the old Penn mill stood,
below Black Hawk. Work is to be
commenced by the contractor at once
as the contract stipulates that the
plant shall be completed by the first
of December of this year. McFarlane
& Sons will Immediately engage men
to procure the rock for the founda-
tion at their quarry. The structure
will be of corrugated iron.
The concentrator will adjoin the
Penn mill OF the east and will cover
the intervening ground between the
Penn and IRON City plants. The ground
between these two mills will be the
crushing department and where the
Penn mill stands will be the table
department.
All the material, tables, etc., for
the new concentrator have been
selected at various times, or as it
was agreed just what equipment was
to be installed. For the past year ex-
periments have been conducted at
the Iron City mill with different
classes of machinery,to determine up-
on the tables and other machinery
best adapted for the concentration of
the ore, which will be handled by the
new plant. Not only were tests made
at the Iron City mill. but hundreds Of
tons of ore were sent to various con-
centrators in the state for test runs.
So the Frontenac people were able
by this system to make a selection
of equipment they knew positively
would do their work. The plant will
be electric driven throughout.
In order for the firm which has re,
ceived the contract to have the con.
centrator completed by the first Of
December, it will be necessary to en-
ploy upwards of so men.

Secretary A. w. Warwick, of the
Colorado Chapter of the American
Mining Congress, paid the city visit
Thursday evening of last week and
notwithstanding that his train was
late in arriving, twelve or more OF the
most prominent mine operators OF

hear discussion from him on the
aims of the Congress and on all work
In general which this organization haf

length the purpose of this Congress
to promote the interests of the min

local Chapter, the membership of this
to be limited to men actively engag-
ed in the operation Of mines. Mr..
Warwick said among the principal
tasks before the American Mining
Congress was the annihiliation of the
promoters of wildcat" schemes a
practice which has worked untold in
jury to the mining industry.
1t is the purpose of the American
Mining Congress to form local Chap
ters in all the camps of the country.
Mr.. Warwick has visited number of
the camps in Colorado and has taken
this matter up with mine operators.
He finds the sentiment strongly in
favor Of affiliation with the national
congress.
At the meeting Thursday evening
were present just those who are ac-
lively engaged in mining in Gilpin
county. All of these were favorable to
the organization Of Chapter here.

American Mining Congress was ap-
parent to all. The proposition was
thoroughly discussed with Mr.. War
trail within the next month, it is
certainty that Gilpin county will be
enrolled in the list of Chapters.

years since any work was done in
the Pittsburg Extension. At that
