will Operate Claims
Idle Past Ten Years

A recently organized mining
company, under the supervision of
j. Fl. Robson, has purchased the
Mascot and Magnamora lodes on
Saxon mountain from Frank Ricci.
They have entered into operations
with determination to make a
success of these promising claims,
which have been idle for more
than ten years because of litigation.
There are large bodies of ore in
evidence, which carry good values
in gold, silver and copper. Under
the present price of copper the ore
should bring better than $3.50 per
ton.
The claims being favorably
located for economical develop
ment, a number of adits are to be
started at about 100 feet apart.
Should these meet with present
expectations, a short aerial tram is
among the proposed improvements,
thus delivering the ore at the
railroad station at very nominal
cost.

Comet Group TO Be
Greatly Developed

Systematic development is to be
imaugurated on the Comet group,
under the management of AL Fitz-
gerald. who recently let contract
to extend the crosscut to the foot
wall, where it is confidently ex-
pected ore will be encountered, as
this is the wall that carries the
ore values on the Ruler and the
Aetna veins of which the Comet
vein is the eastern extension.
Development has demonstrated
that this is what miners designate
the mother vein of the district,
the cross-cut having been driven
thru lode matter for over 100 feet,
with probably twenty feet more to
drive before the wall is reached.
A large production has resulted
from surface operations with large
ore reserves still exposed. The
ore being exceptionally high
grade, even for the Georgetown
district, many miners familiar with
surrounding conditions predict an
encouraging future as development
progresses. .-.-
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-06-08

P. P. Graham and partners on
the 21O-foot level of the old 7:3O
have opened solid streak of lead
and zinc ore that reminds one of
the early production from this
mine, when ore milling 1000 ounces
in silver per ton was frequently
met with.
Winter weather, with venge-
ance, is still in evidence in the
East and West Argentine districts.
Good results are being obtained
for the development that has been
carried on during winter, but it
will be a month, If not more, be-
fore regular shipments will begin.
1t is reported in Georgetown
that extensive operations will ere
long be inaugurated on the hold
ings of the East Argentine Mining
company, recently purchased by
the Bank of Georgetown. This
tunnel is the deepest in this
mineral zone, and at the present
heading is entering a network of
veins, and if pushed ahead a
number of important discoveries
will be made.
Georgetown is to hold an old
time firemen's tournament on July
4 and a hearty welcome is extended
TO all who care to participate
therein. The firemen's races will
be open to all who care to par
ticipate, and the committee on
arrangements have made every
effort to arrange a complete pro-
gram for all who favor Georgetown
with their presence, and promise
to do their best to see that there
will be no idle moments during
the day and evening.

Atlantic and DALEY
Districts 10 be Busy

The Atlantic and Daley dis
tricts, located nine miles west of
Empire, are destined to become
the scene of much mining activity
during the coming summer.
Preparations are being made to
resume enlarged operations on the
molybdenum property on Red
mountain, owned by the Primos
company, under lease and option.
The cross cut tunnel is to be
pushed ahead to intersect the ore
body, while ore will be broken and
shipped from the surface workings,
the product to be S ipped to
Pennsylvania for treatment.
The Coffin group on Young
mountain has probably the best
showing of ore in the district, the
streak being from seven to nine
feet in width, and averaging $50
per ton in gold, in carload lots.
Many men of wealth are arrang-.
ing to enter the district, and plans,
are now being formulated for the
Inauguration of extensive develop
ment during the summer months.
