The U. S. mill at Sugar Loaf, Boul.
der county, is progressing very rap.
idly and it will soon be in shape for
the trial run.
The Chickenhawk shaft ON Guyot
hill, Cripple Greek, has been closed
some time and the Columbia Mining
& Development Company has given up
the lease. A new company will take
the property.
Work has been resumed on the
Black Prince on Green Lake noun
tain, Georgetown. In the bottom of the
thirty-foot shaft is streak of ore ten
inches wide that carries SAP per ton
in gold and silver.
1t is said work will begin within two
weeks at the Centennial mine on Leav-
enworth mountain, Georgetown, and
that heavy development will be done.
This property was recently sold to
syndicate of Boston capitalists for
$125,0OO.
Good progress is being made in driv-
ing the adit tunnel of the Sheelite vein
of the Colorado Tungsten Company at
Carrie Nation park, Boulder county,
which is now advanced about coo feet
and IS going ahead at the rate of eight
feet daily.
Pittsburg mine, located in Lake dis
trict, is down to a depth OF $50 feet,
from which point levels have been
driven east and west. A crosscut was
driven to cut the south vein on the
property where a very good grade of
ore was opened up. A shipment of
this was made recently and gave re-
turns of $S3 per ton.
The new tunnel to undercut the
shaft on the Mckinney VEN, George
town. at an increased depth of 200
/ feet, is under cover, and being pushed
forward at the rate of one foot per
day. This tunnel will be $50 feet long.
In the bottom of the shaft is a streak
of ore six to eight inches wide that
carries 176 ounces gold per ton.
! The Durango plant of the American
Smelling & Refining Company has re-
sumed operations after a shutdown of
nearly four months, caused by the
| flood of last October cutting off the
ore supply. The smelter has been pur-
chasing and storing ores of the San
Juan and started with bins full and
are employing good force, which is
pleasing news to Durango and the en-
tire Southwest.
The Pride of Cripple Creek will no
doubt prove another W. P. H., owing
to the opening of new and rich flat
vein on the sixth level. There is every
reason to believe the strike will turn
out one of the biggest things in the
district. 1t is said the ore runs be-
tween $50 and slOO per ton off the
muck pile. The values are in sylvan
/ ite, which is plastered on all ore and
the vein is six to eight feet wide.
The Dunkin group, on Niger hill,
| Breckenridge, has been operated for
years by Theo. H. Knorr and c. E.
Kistler of Breckenridge and o. X.
Gaymon and j. A. Summers of Den
yer, who have opened the property
with tunnel over l 400 feet long; up
raises have been driven to connect
| with the upper workings, which are
credited with an output of over $780,
| 0O0 The breast of the tunnel cuts the
formation over 900 feet below the sur
face. 1t is being driven ahead for the
ore shoot. A few days ago the lessees
made a forty-two-ton shipment of part
! " oxidiZed heavy lead carbonate ore
that returned over forty-one per cent.
in lead, seventeen ounces silver and
over an ounce in gold per ton.
The Santiago mine in East Argen-
| tine district promises to be one of the
heaviest shippers in Clear Creek coun-
| ty this year Twenty men are en-
ploysd and soon as it is possible to get
ore to market more will be given work
| An important strike was recently
made in sinking shaft from the
fourth level, being a streak of heavy
lead ore eight to twelve inches wide,
carload lots returning $l04 net per
| ton. The company will construct an
aerial tramway next summer, the
| length to be eight miles, by which the
cost of ore delivery can be reduced
IRON 81 to so cents per ton.
A. Stenneck and company, who COM
menced operations on the Galena, in
Gilpin county. few months ago, are
| getting the levels into working order
after years of idleness. They are TAX
| ing out a very nice grade of ore from
the 400 and 50O-foot levels. A ship
ment made recently of smelling ore
gave returns of 2.56 ounces gold, 6.64
ounces silver and l.25 per cent copper
a value of $3.50 per ton, and six cords
of mill ore that yielded 1.5 ounces gold
to the cord.
Work will be resumed soon upon the
Welsh property. Georgetown. Previ-
