Gold Springs Mining & Power CON-
many has let a contract TO A +. Short
to run a drift from the SOO-foot level
of the Jennie mine 70 the Talisman
ledge. There is already an s0-toot
drift from the bottom Of the Jennie
shaft, and il is estimated that it will
require $50 feet more drifting 10 reach
the objective point, which should be
covered in about sixty days. Machine
drills will be used: there win be little
t,mbering necessary, and the forma-
ton is an easily worked pOrphyry. The
Taiisman shows an OutcrOpping vein
900 feet. with values of 81 TO the ton,
The new drift viii cut this ledge at
$50 feet depth on the dip of the vein,
which has only been prospected by a
little surface work.
Half Million i'm Sight.
The Gold Springs people have ex-

But according 10 a Well-knOwn engi-
neer the property, though only pros
pected. already has $4,000 tons OF de-
velOped ore. which averages near 81 a
ton. or over half million dollars
worth OF ore. The new mill will save
80 per cent of the values. and as IL
has a capacity of 1000 tons month,
$3.50 a ton, the monthly receipts viii
he near to $1,000, or $4,000 year
when operating at normal capacity.
Power Plant.
The Westinghouse company is now
testing out a 500 horsepower gas gem
Grating plant, a new thing in the west
II will consume only to s tons slack
coal a lay, yet will furnish power for
mine and mill. AS soon as the plant
is in smooth running order IL will be
accepted by the management OF the
Gold Springs company, and larger
force will be put in mine and mill.
and the district will once more be the
scene of much activity. This may
be done any day. or it may not be for
weeks; just according TO how soon the
machinery gets down TO normal run

Yesterday. At present here are about
forty men employed.
The main Jennie shaft is down 800
feet, with drifts on the 100 level of
about goo feet in either direction on
the vein; on the 200 level one drift

the 500 the development work is just
commencing.

Remarkable Vein.
An adjoining group. owned princi-

pearances, this is the biggest miner
allied vein in the entire Gold Springs
district.
