Ouray, shipped car of ore to Pueblo
estimated to run $50 ounces silver and

The Mammoth mine in East Argen-
tine has a foot of solid ore in the
bottom of the 200-foot shaft that runs
close to 800 per ton in gold and sill
yer.
A solid body of ore two feet wide
has been uncovered in the Millington
mine, on Columbia mountain, George
town. 1t carries from 200 to 700
ounces silver per ton.
The streak of ore in the Isgrig and
Moscript lease at the Capital mine, on
Griffith mountain, Georgetown, has
| w;dened to eight inches and assays
show $50 gold and 16 ounces silver
per ton.
The highest output made by the
| Jerry Johnson, at Cripple Creek, for
year was that of October by Lessees
| Frank Galley, who sent out fifty-four
| cars of milling grade ore. 1t was
| mined chiefly from new strike on the
$50 level of the main shaft
| Wheeler & Whinnerah, civil and
| mining engineers, are surveying for
the big vanadium outfit, in the Para

Whitley Watson, Tom Brown and
| others are breaking good ore on the
500 level of the Zoo shaft, on Beacon
| hill, Cripple Creek. The ore is aver
aging between $50 and $40 per ton,
with little sorting. The shoot is about
| four feet wide and values are uniform
across it.
Bryant & Co. leasing on the Seven
Thirty vein, Georgetown, are stoping
on an eight-inch streak of solid ore
that mills 27S ounces silver per ton.
| Joseph Wood, on the same level, will
soon make regular shipments of smelt-
| ing ore. A streak of ore in the drift
showing for ninety feet, gives mill
runs of 700 ounces silver per ton.
Keller and Bright have resumed
work on their Columbine group, on
Bear creek, Ouray, with the intention
of extending their 100-foot adit tun-
mel sixty feet. OF that distance only
thirty feet is estimated to be neces-
| sary to cut vein junction, where
surface indications lead them to oe-
lieve that body of rich gold ore will
be discovered.
The noted War Dance mine of Rus
sell Gulch, in Gilpin county, has again
entered the limelIght with sensation
al find of ore having values of s6,750
| per ton. This new strike was made IN
winze which is being put down in
the 375-foot level some seven feet dis
tant from the shaft. AS now exposed

| operating in the Gunnel-Grand Army
mine in Prosser gulch, in Gilpin coun-
| ty. They work under ideal conditions,
| as the raise from the Newhouse tun-
mel to the 1,100-foot level of the Gun
nell affords perfect ventilation, the air
currents being downward and out
through the tunnel. On the 1,100-
foot level the 1easers are all in good
| ore, one ore shoot being 400 feet IN
| length with smelling iron from one to
| three feet wide giving shipping values
of $50 to $50 per ton, together with
mill ore which plates better than two
| ounces to the cord.
| A carload of rich gold ore, weighing
| about twenty tons, and which is ex-
| pected to net about $4,000, was re-
ceived by the Globe smelter in Denver
from the famous War Dance mine in
Gilpin county. Armed guards accom-
| panied the car during the entire route
| to protect it's precious contents. This
| ore comes from a strike in the War
Dance made recently. 1t is of varie-
| ty known as flourine, and a half-dozen
assays made by J. w. Richards of
Denver show values running from
| 1920 to $1,000 per ton. The ore is be-
| ing sent to the Globe smelter on ac-
count of the fact that the North
| American smelter at Golden, owned by
the owners of the War Dance mine. is
temporarily closed for repairs and i'm
provements. 1t will start again about
January l. The War Dance has pro
duced remarkably rich ore at different
times during the past few years, and
while the deepest workings are only
| 800 feet below the surface, the mine
shows large and continuous ore bodies
that will produce handsomely for an
| indefinite period.
