This company has jsst obtained .
franchise to put in q power and light
plant and water works for the town
Of Pitkin. George Brant, the ener-
getlc secretary and manager Of the
company, informs us that work ON
this plant will be begun as soon % .
few minor details are concluded and
will be pushed until the plant is
completed. Power will be furnished
by this plant to run mscnine drills
in driving their big tunnel.
Mr. Deney and Mr.. Reed are both
working faithfully on their properties
in Saw Mill Gulch. As to the ore
conditions in these properties, the
writer can give no information at
the present
The Roosevelt tunnel has been
pushed steadily ahead all winter and
has now reached distance of over
1000 feet from the portal. For .
long distance the workings have
been dry but now the water is COM
ing in through the breast of the
tunnel which indicates that q vein 10
close at hand. This should be the
Roosevelt vein for which they have
been driving. Should good ore be
opened on this vein it will prove that
the ore goes down to a good depth
on the south as well as on the north
side of Quartz Greek. This should
induce other property owners in this
section to develop.
A considerable amount of work
Will be done on mining property in
the Bowerman district the coming
season. q. W. Brown Of Denver has
Just arrived TO take charge of the
A1e Lincoln mine and mill Mr..
Brown informs me that be will work
only two or three men at present,
but as soon as he can get the work
lined up and the snow is out of the
way, he will put on a considerable
force as he expects to start the mill
as soon as he can get out sufficient
ore to make a run He declares he
to keep the mill running
steadily when he once gets started.
Several other properties will be
worked quite extensively this season.
