close to 500 per ton in gold and sill

A solid body of ore two feet wide
mine, on Columbia mountain, George
town. 1t carries from 200 to 700
ounces silver per ton.
The streak of ore in the Isgrig and
Moscrint lease at the Capital mine, on
Griffith mountain, Georgetown, has
widened to eight inches and assays
show $S6 gold and 16 ounces silver
per ton.
The highest output made by the
Jerry Johnson, at Cripple Creek. for a
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
doX country. Ouray, an additional fifty
to the seventy claims surveyed during
the summer making a total of 100
claims they will have surveyed for
patent.
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 stopping
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

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 1O0-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 De-
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 limelght with sensation
al find of ore having values of $6,75O
per ton. This new strike was made in
a winze which is being put down in
the 375-foot level some seven feet dis
tant from the shaft. AS now exposed
it is twelve feet in length. Mar
castle and Calaverite in connection
with the flourine quartz appears to be
responsible for the high values OBJ

Fourteen sets of leasers are now
operating in the Gunnel-Grand Army

ty. They work under ideal conditions,
as the raise from the Newhouse tun-
mel to the 1,1OO-foot level of the Gun
nell affords perfect ventilation, the air
currents being downward and out
through the tunnel. On the LOO
foot level the leasers are all in good

from the famous War Dance mine in
Gilpin county. Armed guards accom-

assays made by ]. W. Richards of
Denver show values running from
$500 to $1,000 per ton. The ore is be-

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
