The shaft is only down about sixty

LONE JACK GROUP
OF Mines in Wisconsin Dis.
trict to be Worked by an
Eastern Syndicate.

The certificate of incorporation Of
the Lone Jack Mines & Milling COM
pany, has been filed at the state
house in Denver and also in this
county. The company is organized by
New York and Boston syndicate
o, capitalists with a capitalization Of
$400,0 900. The company proposes to
take a bond and lease on what Is
general known as the Lone Jack
property. This property consists Of
a 2OO-acre placer and IA lode claims
and Is located on the west side Of
Mammoth gulch in Wisconsin mining
district.
This company proposes to drive a
long adit tunnel following the foot
wall Of large po-phry dyke which
is intersected at almost right angles
by the various gold bearing fissure
veins which pass through the lode
claims.
This portion Of Gilpin county has
heretofore barely been prospected.
Last summer engineers were sent out
to this county from New York and af-
ter making a thorough examination Of
Mammoth gulch and the Lone Jack
r@gion submitted a report which even
ally brought about the formation
Of company with sufficient means
at their command to thoroughly dem
onstrate the value Of this particular
section.
Work will he begun on the property
as soon as the snow will permit the
hauling Of supplies and material to
the gulch.
The principal officers of this COM
pany are Frank E. Bradley, Of New
Yo-k. rrssicent; A Farley Brewer,
Of Boston, treasurer; Chase With

WHAT MANY HAVE LOST.

| WITH such fabulously rich finds az
chronicled from the War Dance, the
story of G.lpin county mines may
have to be retold. After all these
years to come upon such rich ore is
a. surprising as gratifying. It might
be too much to hope that this class
Of ore is the true grade and the sui.
phides the forerunner OF that found
In tie War Dance. 1t is remarkable
that the chemieal characteristics
shoupd be SO different from the gen.
eral,c.aEs Of ores Of the district. 1t
IL mDre like the mineral from Cripple
Greek.
The reputation OF the War Dance
will do more for mining at this time
in cid Gilpin than a new discovery.
It lends promise to all the old pro-
duce-s, and while assurance is not
ven ttat others might do as we'll
with further exp p'oItation, they have
the enc engagement Of this rich ore
as an incentive. No one can predict
what is te'ow the surface when it
comes TO working a mine in this
diB.r.c.. That p-oce-ties should i'm
prove with depth is also bit un-
certain in theory. But with a good
surface showing much can be reas-
onahly expected.
The number Of veins that can be
worked is remarkable, as is evidenc-
ed BY the many properties that have
them. This office is not sufficiently
familiar to state whether all are in
dependent or that they radiate from
"a common center. The point to be
made here is the unusual condition
Of the rise and fall, of times Of acti-
ty and otherwise. In this connection
enphas's is laid on the fact that the
ore bodies have not changed. They
must continue as found and none
wi be the wiser as to their worth
til proven. In other words conditions
are the same where work ceased.
With resumption. property owners
may come to realize just what they
m'ssei in the interval. Understanding
prevent conditions, investors can
feel reasonably sac in coming here
and taking up the work where others
had d scontirued.
Another matter that is aiding in
the Prosperity is tie revelation OF
the large lot Of ore broken In various
mines. This is now coming to the
su-fsce for treatment made possible
~ -tsSs< lambers of imprssesnnta -
the handling Of ore more cheaply
than formerly.
Whatever the cause Of the general
aSake niny, no one can get away from
the fact that the mines are just as
they were left when last worked and
operation Of same nav have con.inrei
uninterrupted with possible gain in
va'ue, as evidenced by the War

Rest assured it will be insisted upon
that mining in Gilpin is still in its
youth. There are too many sources

every opening must have something
in the way Of values on which to
draw. Some of the showing may be
