oPHIR MINE

Tie once famed Opliir mine, on
Quartz hill, that made many a mill
lionaire in early days from its sur
face workings, is now leased and
being worked by parties through the
Newhouse tunnel. They have driven
a lateral 700 feet west from the
tunnel, and opened up shoot OF ore
5 feet wide, of which is solid smelt
dng ore of a good grade and the ball
ance concentrating ore. A stope 40
feet long las been started, and
when the chutes are completed and
track laid to breast, the driving Of
the lateral farther west into this
ore shoot will be continued with
machine drills and two shifts. This
point is 1900 feet from surface and
shows the continuity of our fissure
veins downward. For several hun
dred feet above, the ground is vir-
gin, and should this shoot extend to
surface workings, many thousands of
dollars will be extracted.

known minirg nan of GEpin and
Clear Creek court'es, has charge of
the work. The French Flag m ne
is tie eastern exteIsion of the Sl-

the parent property. 1t has produc-
ed several Thousand dollars and has
never been fully developed. With tie
opening of new territory on this

AMONG THE MINES
INGALLS, NINE

The lessees ON tie ingalls, mine on
Quartz hill, have just finished ship
ping a five-cord lot Of concentrating
ore to the Buell. mill and load of
smelling ore to the Chamberlain
sampler at Black Hawk.
The lessees on this mine, about
year ago, took charge of the prop
erty, that Lad for many years laid
idle and began its development in a
systematic manner. They repaired
the shaft house and machinery at the
head CT the shat, repaired shaft to
125-foot level, drove crosscut to
ingalls, No. 2, whede they encounter
ed a fine streak of smelling and
concentrating ole. They tEen re-
paired the shaft to the 240-foot level,
where they drove another crosscut, a
greater distance, and cut vein No.
2 and were amply rewarded by cut
ting vein of screening and con-
centrattpg ore feet wide. This
level will be drifted upon, both east
and west, and when extended a GER
tain distance will represent virgin
ground to the surface. The ore in
this level shows good at the bottom
and when stopping begins, the shaft
will be sunk another lift and other
levels opened up.
This Is only one among the many
heretofore idle mines that have been
opened up in the past year that are
now good producers, and shows the
lasting character Of Gilpin county
gold mines.

The Newhoufe tunnel and TIE Big

of Gilpin county at great depth. The

tance of five miles, and has cut SON e
OF cur mines that produced millions
OF dollars from surface workings in
early days, and where cut the veins
are stronger, and in many cases rich

The Big Five has penetrated the
mountain about two miles and has
already cut the ce'e!r rated Lake mine
at the lead of Virginia cancn 1900
feet from surface, that shows vein
OF mineral from to s feet wide of
good grade. This tunnel is now
being driven ahead to cut the great
producers of Russell Gulch, that
yielded so profusely in the early
days CT mining in the county. When
this is completed, t e heading will
be extended to cut TIE monster fs-
suros CT Quartz hill, whose surface
workings made many Denver mil
lionaire. This extersion will cut at
depth of 1900 feet the greatest ra-
um mines known to the world. viz /:

The tunnel will also cut and drain
the great mines at Nevadaville.
The Lucania starts near a point
where Fall river functions with, south
Clear creek. about mile above Ida

mineral belt, one mile to the west.
The heading CT this tunnel is nearly
two miles from its portal. and will
explore these great fissures in pure
Iy virgin ground, and from surface
indications will open up richer ground
than either of the otler two. 1t is
doubtful II one can find another spot
in the state, where three crosscut
tunnels, that nearly parallel each 9th

at such great depth, and where the
veins contain richer ore beiow the

IN STRAIGHT FALLS
Handicap Bout Arranged Be-

April rs
EACH WRESTLER HAS
POSTED 500 FORFEIT

At The Playhouse last night Ed.
Stranger Lewis. again defeated
Hialmar Lundln. the Swedish cham
pion in two straight falls. While Lun-
din showed improvement ovec his
last appearance in this city. the bout
was a comparatively slow one. This
was largely due to the fact that Lewis
had an injured neck. received in a
bout a week ago and Lundin tr,ed 10
avoid hurting him again.
Lundin was also handicapped by
age he being twice as old as Lewis.
all but two years. The Swede had
Lewis with his shoulders near the
mat several times but the younger
man always managed to squrm out.
After 80 minutes Of hard work Lewis
got his first fall with wris' lock and
body hold. He secured the second
fall in II minutes by practically the
same hold.
In the preliminary bout HerOld
Christensen, made his initial appear
ance in Wilmington, and although
giving away twenty pounds, he threw
Leavitt. the army title holder in two
straight falls. Christensen. had
more knowledge Of the game than
his opponent and had little trouble
in securing his falls.
A match has been arranged be-
tween Christensen and John Heracl.
the local wrestler for the week of
April Gath. at The Playhouse. The
bout will probably be pulled off on
Tuesday night, April 25th. II will be
a handicap match. in which Christen-
( son agrees to throw Heracl three
| times in one hour or forfeit 500 to
| the latter. In case he does throw
the local man three times in the
specified time. then Heracl will for
| felt 800. B. c. Sandow. repre-
| senting Christensen. and John Y.
Cooper. for Heracl. have placed $500
with Police Captain Kane to bind the
match and as forfeit money. The
wrestlers are also TO receive so per
cent. of the net receipts.
At the conclusion of the bouts last
night IL was also announced that
Lewis, has accepted a challenge from
DR.. B. f. Roller. for a return match
at The Playhouse next Wednesday
night. The last time these two men
met here it made one Of the best
matches Of the season but had an
unsatisfactory ending. DR.. Roller
j lost the match after sustaining IN
4 iuries while wrestling The latter
has a host OF friends heer who think
he will give Lewis a hard time tC
throw him.
Another interesting announcement
which was made by BILLY" Sandow

signed articles for a match between
Lewis and Joe Stecher, to take place
at Omaha. Neb. for a purse Of S25.-
600. and the worlds championship

BY this victory, Brown is practi-
cally the champion billiardist OF the

other contestants with the exception
OF Clark, OF Dover. Clark has not
played yet, and still has the other
four contestants in the series TO
