was in the city yesterday on business
 connected with the Swastika silver
 mine The company is still shipping
 the high grade rock; although the
 last car averaged 55 ounces silver at
 the Humboldt sampler, it is thought
 the next car may run a little better
 Mir. Giroux does not care to say
 much about his own doings as basis
 for claiming that a real reign of
 mining activity is due in the Brad
 shaw mountain country, yet he does
 say that a number of others are do-
 ing things that would make any one
 proud to belong in the Crown King
 Al Andre, operating the old Bond
 mine, now under option to Mr. An
 dre from Baker & Son of Phoenix, is
 taking out some extra high grade sil-
 yer ore and is shipping it It is on
 the old Luke vein which was called
 the Cougar by MT. Bond.
 The next north extension of the
 Luke IS known as the Mckinney
 mine and is being operated by some
 leasers while still others are operat- ing farther north on this vein.
 The newest operator of note to
 enter the Crown King field is Frank
 T. Caley who was in the early days of Cripple Creek, connected with the
 famous Independence mine, which made Sratton his millions. He has
 taken up the Red Cross mine, which is on the same trend as the Cougar vein and is likely a direct extension of it. This property lies just across the deep gulch east of the Eclipse vein on which the Dougherty and Mildred mines are located.
 Mr. Galley intends to operate this property on substantial basis and will carry on development ill such a manner as to make it a recognized operation.
 On the Birmingham claim, which is the south extension of the Eclipse mine, Victor Carlson is taking out some shipping ore and has a car about ready for the track. He has stuck strictly to the proposition for two years and besides blocking out large bodies of mill ore has selected the best of it for shipment to get the money on which to keep moving.
 The Birmingham property is a short claim lying on the big vein known as the Eclipse, but on this same vein are located the Savoy mine at which camp Senator Mike Cunnifi | died, and on which, it is understood, i deal is pending which will mean the opening of that property to greater depth. At the time of the senator's death it was understood i that there was more ore blocked out in the mine than the money spent ft on 1t amounted to. which was well Il over S200,000. Just south of the Savoy on the same vein, the Tiger Gold company ill its palmy days pro- t duced over $2.5OO,OOO in profits. and is still considered a big possibility {, for a great mine. At present it is owned by Mrs. Hattie Barnes, a wo- |. man capitalist of New York city. Her . price is high or that property could l be operated successfully, is the opin- { ion of mining men who know.
 \. C. Sheckles of Los Angeles and a the Doughcrty estate own the next | claim north of the Birmingham, and C that property was among the cafly shippers and is known to have $ splendid showing of milling ore on p the surface II
 Adjoining this property to the p north is the group known as the p Mildred mine, which was operated by il he Los Angeles junk dealers, Roscn- G )urg & Co. But as they had it un- ri Ter bond and lease from the Brad m shaw Fissure Mining company, it has o zone back to the company, and a sl leal is now on by them to secure unds for further development and si operation. It is recognized as u .ood piece of ground and ought to W nake d producer when developed. It ic as shipped some good ore, too. ( ust north of that IS the Silver Crown A nine which leads right up to op- jps osite the depot in the town It is flu nder the management of Tom An T erson, who is also ill charge oi c ork at the Blue Jacket mine The hl liver Crown is dormant at present K ut the Blue Jacket, which is over E. T the Cougar vein system, is ready dc ], ship another carload of excellent i'm lver ore. ..-- ....... .. til On the hill to the north of Grown re ing is the long ridge which runs Sv
