EUREKA MINE AND MILL

Our mining reporter visited this
mine and mill yesterday and was sur
prised to see SO much industry at
our very door, and were this mine and
mill located in some remote part 100
miles from railroad, or in the noisy
town of Cripple Creek, the Denver
press would herald it to the four
winds CT Heaven. The mine and mill
is under the superintendency of John
c. jenkins. The mine workings are
under the management OF Gus Rotner
with lifetime spent in the mines.
while the mill Is under the manage
Enent OF Jack Key, prince of good
fellowship and an expert millman,
whose fame Is known throughout
Colorado. The shaft is $50 feet deep
and the three, four, five and\six lev
els are being pushed ahead as well
as being stopped on streaks of botn
smelling and concentrating ore that
vary from one to ten feet in width,
with an average width of four feet.
The mine is equipped with 60 n. p.
Hendrie and Bolthoff hoist and a
compound electrical compressor for
driving machine drills The smeN-
ing ore is automatically dumped from
tie bucket into the car and after
wards into bins at tie mine, while
tine concentrating ore is trammed to
the mill, a distance of about 400 feet
where il Is dumped on grizZleys in
front Of the crusf er, and from there
everything IS automatic. There is au-
tomato feed to the stamps. and from
the amalgamating plates to the VIII
fey tables. and from these tables to
the Diester concentrators and Frue
Vanners, where the second product
OF concentration is made. The mill
vas only started last week, and no
smelter shipments of concentrates
have been made, although several car
loads are ready for transit that from
all appearance indicate good grade.
The smelling ore varie in price from
% to 175 dollars per ton. The mill
al present is only running one shift,
and averages 20 tons per shift. 1t
condition by II. NJ. Gilbert who has
had experience in modern mills. 1t
requires but two men to operate 1t
and will undoubtedly be forced to
work three shifts to accommodate
the mines production.
