Plant.

Important improvements will be
made at the Espey mine located
on the South Fork in the Elk Cit,
district, according to the state
ment of |. ID. Cleek, who for the
past several months has held the
position of amalgamator for the
company. Up to the present time
the company has been operating
a five stamp mill by steam power
and the returns have been high
ly satisfactory. The ore has been
sorted and the ore milled has re-
turned approximately so per cent
of the values in free gold.
The plans now provide for the
installation of an additional five
stamps, and water power plant
The company also plans other i'm.
portant improvements that will
greatly facilitate the operations
and at the same time materially
reduce the cost of operating.

work will be commenced on the
erection of suitable buildings for

is hoped to be in readiness by

JUMOB MINE IS
SHOWING WELL
New Lessee Finds Big Yield
of Good Ore Running
Ten Stamps.

IL. II. Gray, one Of the lessees
OF the Jumbo mine in theHump,
who passed through Elk City for
the mlne, gave very encourag-
ing report to the News man re-
gardlng the outlook on that prop
erty.
Mr.. Gray is an experienced min
er, and has been leasing in Color
ado for several years past, and
has just succeeded in getting the
lease on the Jumbo.
At the present time the lessees
expect to keep ten stamps drop
ping, and at the same time put
the raise through from the No.
4 tunnel to the No. 3, distance
of $50 feet.
The most of the ore for the
mill will be taken from the shoot
found on the intermediate level,
between No. 2 and No. 3. 1t
was this shoot of ore that was
found by sub-lessees las fall,
that yielded such handsome prof
its, the ore plating So a ton.
This shoot has widened from 6
feet to 8 feet, and at the present
time there is no telling to what
extent it reaches, as it has not
been picked up on the other
levels.
Besides taking ore from the
above shoot, the old stope that
is caved, will be looked after,
and quite a little ore will be TAX
en- from there.
On the mill tunnel level or No.
4, is where the lessees will do a
great deal of development work,
the first and principal part OF
which is to get a raise through
to No. 3, so as to do away with
the tram, as at present. AT two
points in No. 4 they have good
ore to commence to raise on, and
IN doing this work they will get
some ore which will help keep
the mill running. AT one place
in the tunnel they have raise
up 30 feet, all in good milling
ore, and it is probable that this
raise will be the one that will BIZ
put through.
They are getting in quite lot
OF supplies, at present, so they
will be in shape to run steadily
in the spring.

TEN MILE MINE
Is UNDER BOND
M. L. Derrig Negotiates With
York & King For Pro-
perty at $4,000.

When Mr.. King, of the Ten
Mile country passed through this
city some two weeks ago, bound
for the Porcupine mining district
in the north, it was understood
that negotiations were about com
pleted with couple of brother
capitalists of Missouri, through
their representative, M. l.. Der
rig, of Grangeville, for the bond
ing of the Local Option mines,
owned and developed by Messrs.
York & King, of that rich min
ing section, the Ten Mile coun-
try. However, by request the
matter was held in allegiance by
the reporters.
Now it has become public prop
erty and is understood that the
five gold bearing claims, known
as the Local Option group, have
been bonded to the eastern part
les by the owners for approx
matley $50, 600, and that the new
owners will begin active and en-
ergetic work on the property with
in very few weeks. The pro-
perty is located five miles from
Rabbit creek, on the south side
of the Clearwater, and east of the
French Pete claims, near Pioneer
Hill. This is one of the promis-
ing properties of the district, an
fine body of free milling ore
has been opened up by the de-
velopment work which the enter
prising owners have done. A
great outcome is looked for on
this property as development
progresses.
