"The Three Queens" claims

tion of the heavy lead found in
all of the Omaha underground
development.
Extremely rich ore is being
taken from shaft No. 3 on the
Sunburst lease, it having' started
on the same ore bed that the
Hobo is working. This ore is so

Bartlett Cooley of Galena and
his associates, under the name of
the Micawber Mining Company
have completed a mill on the
Cousotte land and they are now
pushing the underground devel
opment. C. M. Hoss, of the McKinley
Mining Company is here this
week looking after the company's
interests. Two fine boilers are
on the way from Ohio for the
new plant at this shaft. The
shaft is down to the ore and the
underground development will be
pushed as soon as the new boilers
can be set.
The Virginia Mining Company
is a new company in the camp,
which is doing fine work on its
lease just a mile west of the
Mission on the Julia Stafford
land. Charles Moll of Galen
has charge of it for the company
and he reports that the ore ha
been struck in the shaft at 72 ft

seph, Mo., was in the camp thi
past week with Mr. Geo. Wan
of the Ward mine, and expresset

which has been done in this cam
during the short time of its exist
ence. He examined the Ward

with the splendid showing
made.

Mining Company was down frcm
Kansas City this week and is
much pleased with the showirg
made by the new mill under tli
management of Superintendent

through, which gives excellent
air and will enable Loth shafts U
be worked to advantage. Fur
ther development is to be started
by this company on the balance
of its forty-acre lease.
J. W. Watson, manager of the
Omaha is much gratified with the
results of the sinking of the mail,
shaft at the Omaha mines. Sev
enteen feet of sinking shows thi
ore to be continuous and the hot
torn has not jet been reached.
This sinking, so far, shows a tc
tal depth of the ore bed to be 27
feet. The drifting on the old
level only carried about ten feet
of the ore with it. The new mil
on this property is doing fine
work and is producing 3,000 to
4,000 pounds of lead and 8,000 to
12,000 pounds of zinc, per shift.
F. F. F. Mining Company has
been stripping off twenty feet of
soft ground from the eighty-foot
bed of rich ore on its lease and
now is in a position to go ahead
and make a record on its mill.
This is a most remarkable de
posit, the ore coming to within
twenty feet of the surface and
the two shafts showing . wonder-
tally rich ore down to the ore
hundred-foot level. The amount
of ore milled from this lease
shows a 10 per cent concentrating
proposition and during some
shifts has run as 15 per cent
During reunion week the Mis
sion Mining Company took ad
vantage of the lay down of the
operations in the camp to push
the sinking of its No. 3 shaft and
did well with the sinking. This
week it is turning out its usual
amount of lead and tine 5 Plans
and bids are being received for
the construction of its big 1,0()-
ton mill, and just as soon as the
bids are all in and the plan's se
lected, the construction will com
mence. . All the details are being
worked out so that when this
mill is turned into commission it
will be as perfect as energy, skill
and money can make it. There
is special attention being given
to the treatment and devices for
the saving of the fine, or sludge
ores.
Messrs. Frank Y. Locke and
Chas. D. Matteson of St. Paul,
Minn., and J. W. Watson of Bax
ter have incorporated the Hobo
Mining Company to operate the
Hobo mine, which they bought of
Parker, Smith and Buckner. The
new company is pushing the im
provements and sinking the old
Hobo shaft deeper. The work of
sinking shows that an immense
bed of ore still underlies the pres
ent development of the Hobo.
The Hobo ore is to be milled on
the Omaha mill for the present
until the new company can build
its own concentrating mill.
The J. C. L. Mining Company
has started its new 150-ton mill
on the Beaver land, just south
west of the Joanna mine. This
lease has been developed consid
erably and will be able to keep
the new mill going. Fred Jolly,
manager of this property, has
devoted his entire time to the de
velopment of this lease and has
two shafts into the ore and some
underground development around
each. An Eight-drill Norwalk
Compressor and large boiler has
been installed, which supplies
power for the two diggings.
With the r.ew mill completed
this will be one of the'many good
producers.
