Midwest Company Has
Great Bodies of Ore

The strike reported last week
by the Midwest company, operat-
ing in the vicinity of Black Hawk,
was made on the Peru vein. This
was in a 125-foot shaft in the tun-
mel, 80 feet from the portal. The
ore carries high silver values and
runs between SO and 60 per cent
lead. The streak varies in width
from one to four feet and has
been opened up for distance Of
140 feet on both sides of the SHAFT.
A mill run was made at the Iron
City mill, operated by the Mid
west company, and the conccn-
trates had great values. The
first-calss went Az ozs. gold, 25 6s
ozs. silver and 69.S2 per cent lead,
value $166.83 to the ton. Second
class: 800 ozs. gold, $40 ozs. sill
yer, value $67.S7, showing the gold
contained in the iron predominat-
ing in the second-class.
A test run is now being made
at the Iron City mill on the old
Cyclops dump, but no returns
have been had. If this shows
profitable values the entire dump
will be put thru the mill.
A crosscut tunnel 220 feet has
been run to connect with the Al
aska and the ore body has beer
cut. Samples of this ore rur
from $25 to $525 to the ton in sill.
yer.
The extensive territory EN-.
braced in the Midwest holdings is
being developed with a force OF
20 men and great ore is being
encountered. Within very short
time the company will be able to
maintain heavy shipments of both
smelling and milling ore and q
most promising future for the
Midwest operations is already as
sured.

Boss Tunnel Cleaned Out

The Boss tunnel in the Quartz
Nalles district, operated by Neb-
raska people, has practically been
cleaned out to the breast, a dis
tance of 1416 feet. The property
hadn't been worked since 1892,
prior to the time the present COM
pany took hold a year ago. 1t was
found to be in a bad condition
and had/to be timbered and crib
bed for 400 feet.
There is shaft on the top of
the hill that will be connected
with the tunnel by a raise. The
tunnel cuts under the shaft $50
feet. High-grade silver ore was
taken out of the shaft in the early
days, averaging 1856 ozs, in the
white metal. The shaft has a
good showing and the shoot will
be mined at very low expense
thru the tunnel.

Clare Marie to Work

j. S. Healey, of Denver, was up
this week on mining business. He
is interested in the Spur Daisy
group. Work on the Clare Marie
and st. Anthony, two claims of
the group, will be started within
the next few weeks. A shaft
house, power house and machin-
cry will be placed on the Clare
Marie. This shaft is 1875 feet
deep and will be sunk 100 feet and
drifts run. There is pretty good
showing in the lower level. Bos-
ton people are backing the prop
osition. The Spur Daisy has been
a wonderful group and has pro-
duced some of the richest ore ever
mined in the district.

Will Restore Records

The board of county commiss-
toner's at a special meeting on
Tuesday, May 1S, employed Judge
William c. Matthews, former
county judge of Gilpin county, to
make a thoro examination of the
records in the office of the county
judge of this county, restore the
lost records and make complete
audit of the affairs of the office.
The work will be performed un-
der the immediate supervision of
the chairman of the board of
county commissioners, John w.
Green.
1t is the purpose of the board
to do everything within their
power under the law to see that
the interests of the public are
guarded and protected.
However, it should be borne in
mind that the board of county
commissioners have no special
authority under the law to super
wise, oversee and direct the var
ious county officers in the per-
formance of their duties.
The board decided that it would
be better to employ nonresident
to do this work, as in the event
some local party were employed
there would always be somebody
to say that such party was sub
jected to local influences, and it is
desired that the public be inform
ed that this investigation will be
thoro, complete and impartial.
Judge Royal R. Graham will be
present and will assist in the work
at all times.-Idaho Springs Sift-
ings.
