rRoNrENAc CONSOLIDATED.

It is interesting to note the great
success that has crowned the man.
agement OF the Frontenac-Aduddel
mines. each new development adding
to the immense tonnage Of payable
ores, in sight. 10
Upon the basis OF mill test re-
Gently made, and after deducting one
third as factor of safety, Mr.. Lowe
estimates that below the seventh
level and above the twelfth level
there are $4,000 tons of ore having
gross value OF $3,5S9,92O. This Is.
Of course. additional to the ore above
the seventh level.
The mill test just referred to was
made upon a sample Of 5000 dry
tons. The run of this ore through the
mill gave an actual saving Of 1891 a
ton. which is materially better than
any previous results. The value OF
the ore was from 20 to SO per cent
higher than that of the old stope
product, while the value of the con-
centrates increased nearly 100 per
cent. The concentrates thus far have
been running from $14 to SIC ton.
while the concentrates produced from
the deeper ores here tested return
ed from $23 to $26 ton.
During the past six months the mill
has treated $3.50 tons Of ore and
produced 1910 tons Of concentrates
from which the company realized
$103.00S after paying freight and
smelter charges. The interesting fea-
ture Of this showing is that the mill
feed has been made up very largely,
thus far. Of dump ore and old stope
filling. mixed with some Of the bet
ter grade ore from the upper levels
OF the mine. Except for testing pur-
poses. the management has scarcely
drawn upon the large block Of ore
which exists below the 700-foot level.
The present workings Of the From
tenac group aggregate approximate
ly 10000 linear feet. Of which 10,575
feet were accomplished during the
fiscal year ending August 31st last.
Sixteen headings were worked in ac-
complishing this result. 1t is thus ap-
parent that the company is making
rapid progress in proving up this old
mine at great depth.

THE coALEY MINE.

The Coaley mine at Black Hawk,
under lease and option to the Coaley
Mining company, is making progress
In cleaning out the old workings and
getting into shape for regular ship
ments. When taken over by the
Coaley company, the sO0-foot shaft
was filled with water, and at a depth
Of 85 feet a blockade had occurred.
through the crushing in Of debris
from the surface. After the blockade
had been passed, it was a compare
lively simple matter to take out the
water with a No. Cameron sink
ing pump and the 175-gallon water
bucket on the property.
At ITO feet a level was reached
which had been run on the Gilpin
county vein, and also a crosscut from
that over to the Coaley vein, which
dips away from the shaft on about a
As degree angle. Drifting had been
carried on along this vein until it in
tersected the Galena vein, and from
this intersection, old reports say,
there was considerable ore shipped
which ran over 5000 to the ton. The
ore could be traced along the bottom
OF both the Galena and Coaley levels.
and to ascertain whether the ore
went on down, a winze was sunk to
a depth of 10 feet. The ore as open
ed in this winze assayed $120 to the
ton.
Down 30 feet in the shaft, at the
140-foot point, another level was un-
covered and from this level ore Is
now being taken. One piece recent
ly taken out weighed 425 pounds and
assayed 1903 to the ton. There is
quite a lot Of this character Of ore
now piled up in the shaft house await
ing treatment.
Again going down, exploration was
undertaken on the level uncovered at
200 feet, and a crosscut is now being
run which is in % feet, with not over
35 feet to go before cutting the Coal
ey vein. AS soon as this point has
been reached it is the intention to
drift west on the vein until the inter-
section of the Coaley and GalenA
veins is reached.

WAR DANCE OUTPUT.

Five hundred tons Of high-grade
ore from the War Dance IL the rec.
ord for the month Of August. The
east drift at the 375-foot level is in
bonanza ore. proving that the big
pay continues as depth is gained.
Assays from a thorough sampling
Of eight inches across the vein gave
returns of 5O.96 ounces gold and %
ounces silver, making a value Of ST.
O32.39 per ton. This bonanza ore con-
tinues for over 80 feet along the
drift, sixteen inches in width along
the vein is running from $4,000 to
$1,000 per ton.
Al new hoist is now being install.
ed and as soon as completed the ton
mage will be very materially increas-
ed and the drifts extended together
with the further sinking Of the shaft
which is now down 1875 feet.
Seven carloads OF ore from the five
levels are now being hauled to the
Black Hawk depot for shipment tc
the Golden smelter.

now being carried on is opening VI

TO WHAT 1T MAY LEAD

The War Dance is unquestionabl
a good property. But there are 9th
ers. Many are familiar with the his
tory OF the mine, how it lay idle fo
a period OF twenty years and ever
sold for taxes. Yet with all this it /.
today one Of the sensations of Gil
pin county in SO far as its rich ore
output is concerned. 1t merely goes
to show what can result from the
taking over Of any number of mines
OF the district. 1t is not saying that
all are as good as the War Dance. It
is possible there are many better
properties in the district There is no
way Of proving this except by actual
demonstration.
The property has attained depth
of three hundred and seventy-five
feet with fine showing in the bot
tom OF the shaft. Levels will be run
from this. This is comparatively
shallow depth and shows the vast
possibilities Of the mine with ore at
the three hundred and twenty-five
foot level running four hundred dol
lars gold per ton. This mine has nev-
er been systematically developed, in
fact, it would seem to have been
worked in a very Indifferent manner.
1t is possible that may be the con-
sequence Of the undeveloped condi-
tion Of many properties in the dis
trict. Some one with energy and am
bition may make any number of the
mines equal to the mine in question.
While some might be had at very
reasonable price, they are by no
means going at cheap figures as
evidenced by the price paid for the
War Dance one hundred thousand
dollars. 1t seems like a pretty high
figure to pay for a property sold for
taxes. The price is small compared
to its present worth, for the dump
alone is going to pay the price at
which 1t was sold.
Make no mistake. Gilpin county
assuredly has better properties than
the War Dance. The best known and
those idle might be expected to turn
out equal to this now famous pro-
ducer. No one can know this, of
course, till proven. And the fact is
not likely to benefit anyone unless
effort is made to demonstrate the
assertion. The good of the Gilpin
mines lie in the ease with which op-
erations can be started Numbers are
equipped with plants. then the. bat
ter mines being of a true-fissure ma
ture. those taking them over can in.
variably begin with vein already
exposed.

ALL IN ONE.

Capital would be pretty certain to
reap great returns by an investment
in Gilpin- county mines by system
which would combine the working OF
the essentials required to produce
the bullion in commercial form. Pos
sessed of the mine and a substantial
equipment, it would be part Of the
plan that mill of sufficient capa-
city be of the enterprise. To insure
steady supply Of ore, the mine
should be capable of outputting suf-
ficient to keep the mill running con-
stantly. A seventy-five or one hum
dred ton mill for crushing, amalga-
nation, in fact a regular stamp mill.
would be part Of the equipment. This
would enable the operators to save
on the plates what gold was possible.
In this connection would be required
a concentrator to catch the crushed
ore after passing over the amalga-
majors. That not a particle Of min
eral may escape, settling pans should
be installed.
This system the reader will state,
already exists. True. That the man
agement may retain almost the en-
tire product of the mine and fore
stall the freight. sampling and other
minor expense. Such an enterprise
would have all the advantage and be
Independent by owning and operating
its own smelter to handle the con-
centrates of the concerns own mill.
1t might go a step farther by hav-
ing its own refinery as WELL
By adopting such a working system
capital could not fail to return hand
somely on the investment. Working
mine exclusively and paying for
shipment and treatment places the
operator at disadvantage. and Is
often fortunate II he receives suffi-
cient to meet expenses. By combin-
Ing all, the returns are exclusively
the property Of the mine and mill
operators. less working expenses and
fuel. This system is beginning to be
adopted. To be Independent Of the
railroads and smelters has always
been a consideration Of mine workers.
Many properties had their stamp
mill. but the tailings were allowed
to go down the creek. Stamps and
concentrators next worked together
and the concentrators shipped to the
smelter. The next step in advance
has been that where the concen-
trates are smelted by the same con-
Germ owning the mine and mill. That
the operators handle all and every
thing, the further innovation suggest
ed is that OF refining the product OF
the mine. II this does not appeal Il
is because capital does not care ia
embark In a certainty.

sANcRorr's svnkum BUSTED.

Hon. Chase Withrow, city attorney
OF Central City. and one of the most
able lawyers Of the state, in an ex
haustive opinion has instated to the
city council Of that city that the pur-
chase by the city of the 80 called
Bancroft water rights on Fall river
in this county, would not be legal.
He further makes the following state
ment:
''It is, at least, an open question
as to whether or not Mr.. Bancroft
has the water and water rights he
claims to have. and which would be
available to the city,
The suggestion will be Of some in
terest to those whom Mr.. Bancroft
with his reservoirs ION paper) and
unlimited claims, has threatened to
dispossess in holdings which they
have had for many years and upon
which they have spent hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in improvements.
The Bancroft propositions have nev-
er been regarded seriously by any
one yet. the very impudence Of them
has at times gained notice as in the
case Of Central City.-Idaho Springs
Gazette.
y
Anyone has the legal right to build
dams on any water shed and con-
serve the flood waters of that spec
ific drainage area and in this in
stance Bancroft happened to con-
ceive the idea and has made the i'm
provements necessary under the Unit
ed States laws and was therefore en-
titled to receive the further ease
ments to the water which he has con-
served by his dams, built at his own
expense.
His right to this water is unques-
toned and fully acknowledged by the
U. S. government authorities. We do
not admire the jump-off conclusion at
which the Gazette has arrived with
out taking the pains of firRt know
ing what 1t is talking about.
Idaho Springs, or rather those who
claim certain water rights along Fall
river. are not in any way assailed Of
their rights or deprived Of the water
which those rights carry. II these
complaining citizens had taken the
trouble of two minutes proper investi-
CATION in right channels, they would
have convinced themselves that the
rights that Mr.. bancroft claims and
is en3oyings sra the natural results of
his work aside from being on paper
only and do rot in any way or man
ner deprive those along Fall river Of
single drop Of water as regards
their rights, which are not even in
use with the exception Of one or two
parties.
The storage Of the reservoirs in
question is for flood waters only
which otherwise will benefit no one;
on the contrary they have caused in
the past untold damage in the run
ming off with no benefit to any one.

INVESTIGATING
RATES CHARGED BY
EXPRESS CO.'S

WASHINGTON, July 12.-It is
news to most people that the inter-
state commerce commission has un-
dertaken the investigation of the
express companies. The announce
ment that this policy has just been
decided on is misleading, for the
commission has had men in the field
for months making a searching in
quiry into the business methods
of the companies.
AS a result of this investigation,
it is believed, the carriers under in
vestigation filed new schedules which
are probably intended to meet some
of the more serious complaints re-
garding the manner of conducting
the express business. 1t has been
contended for a long time that the
express monopoly was making ex-
cessive profits. 1t will crafty the
public if something can be done
to insure more equitable charges
for service and better protection
to the customers of the companies.
