Red Top Mining Company
Advices recently received by the
local management of the Red Top
from San Francisco office. of the
company indicate that the trans
formers, pump and other machinery
for the property will be shipped i'm
mediately. The compressor for fur
nishing the air for operating sink
ing pump and machine drills has
not yet been purchased although
the management has one in view,
as it was wanted to obtain a COM
pressor adequate in size to supply
the necessary air for the mine. The
crosscut from the 110-foot level of
the mine has been advanced ten
feet during the week, and a most
encouraging change in the forma-
ton shows in the face.
Union Amalgamated
The July report of the mining OPP
erations in the Amalgamated shows
271 feet of footage made during
the month from the 600 level. This
is divided as follows: East drift 16S
feet, west drift 81 feet, east drift
from No. 6 cross-cut west six feet
raise from No. 2 north cross-cut west
Is feet, No. 6 north cross-cut west
81 feet, No. 2 north cross-cut west
"a feet. The east drift having pass
ed through a faulted zone which
brought the face of the drift into
shale, the drift has been changed so
that it's course is in a northeasterly
direction to pick up the shale and
limestone contact.
This contact should be struck in
80 feet or Whereabouts. The west
drift has been continued in quartz
carrying low grade gold values for
most of the month, but owing to
the work being centered more in the
east drift, not much footage has
been made in the west drift during
July.
White Caps Extension
At the White Caps Extension
property the hoist and head frame
for the shaft are now in process of
installation. The working shaft has
been sunk to a depth of 65 feet, but
work has ceased in the shaft until
after the installation of the hosting
equipment. Some of the building
material for hoist house and bunk
house, etc., has been received on
the property, and one carload of
mine timbers has also been deliv-
cred.
Manhattan Morning Glory
The No. 2 shaft of the Morning
Glory is the only scene of operations
at present. A %cross-cut from the
5O-foot point in the shaft has been
started north to cut the footwall of
the limestone. Two shifts are en-
ployed in this work. The shaft sink
ing of both No. 1 main working
shaft and No. 2 shaft has ceased due
to restraining order obtained by the
White Caps Mining company, claim
ing trespass into their ground. This
means that the matter of extra
lateral rights, etc, will be threshed
cut between the two companies in
the courts, unless a settlement is
made in the nature of a compromise
out of court.
Manhattan Dexter
Union Nine claim of the Dexter
company Is a busy place, as five sets
of lessees are at work. Ore of pic
ture grade is being broken and hoist
ed from block No. l, on the south
ern end of the claim, the lease OPP
Grated by HILBERT and Cantwell. This
ore is from a vertical cross fissure
which makes back in the foOtwall
of the amous Piamenaz VEN sys-
tenn. Although only developed so far
from the 50-foOt level of the mine,
! vIttout question the ore will be
; rover from lover levels au'I as il Is
situated in unstoped virgin ground
the vein should yield MANY thou
sands of dollars to the lcsSees and
the company. The Juhl-Fogel lease
is breaking ore from an entirely new
cross fissure demonstrated near the
center of the claim. Their working
shaft is 100 feet deep and Stopping
on the fissure is in progress. From
this lease an ore milling recently
made yielded returns of $SS per ton.
