THE MINES.
Bitr Chief still reports biir ore
in its development.
Mr. Lawley of the Alabama
Mining Co., left for Birmingham
the latter part of last week on
business trip.
C. M. Hoss of the McKinley
Mining Co.. writes us that he ex
pects to be in camp this week to
start up the KcKinley mine.
Chas. Gregory is sinking s
deep well at the Lancaster mil
to supply it with water when
completed, which will be in a few
weeks.
J. C. Brvner reports that his
big strike is looking better every
day and as soon as he can get
room that his turn-in will equa
anything yet developed.
Mr. Worth of the Myrtle mine
has started up with everything
in fine shape, and with both
shafts working should make
plenty of ore. as the dirt at this
property is very rich.
Miss Mattie McAllister has re
ceived a commission as notary
public, and can be found for no
tarial work at the office of the
Baxter Royalty Company, first
door north of The Baxter Na
tional Bank.
The M. K. St T. has more ore
on hand than any other property
and it will continue to pile it up
until it can get its price. With
the two properties working, the
mill is turning out lots of ore
every day.
The Mason Mining Co. is run
ning steadily and Mr. Mason,
who is now here, is very much
pleased with the results. As soon
as the underground development
becomes sufficient the mill will be
put on double shift.
E. F. Sweeney & Sons are sink'
ing the mill shaft at the McAl
lister mine 20 feet, deeper in or
der to get to the bottom of the
ore. This will add an immense
bed of ore to what they have
been mining heretofore.
George Rucker has bought in
to the Stand ley lease on the
Catholic forty and intends to
drill it thoroughly. This lease
is surrounded by mighty good
properties and Rucker is looking
to find big stuff on this lease.
John Rice has gotten the Dark
Horse combination together and
is overhauling the mill and will
start operations this week. With
the Dark Horse on the west side
and the Isley on the east he
should be able to keep the mill
going at full capacity.
The Virginia has completed
its crosscut between shafts No. 1
and 2 and now has excellent vent
ilation. Preparations for its new
mill are progressing well and
everything will be in readiness
on the arrival of the machinery,
which, we understand has been
a? It rrvk4
J. W. Watson, general mana
ger of the 'Nebraska Mining and
Development Co., returned Fri
day last from a most prosperous
business trip and is now arrang
ing to put the Omaha mines in
to operation to their utmost ca
pacity. More power is to be ad
ded to the mill and another large
shaft is to be sunk at once.
J. W. Barnes has brought in
another rich drill strike on the
Baxter Royalty Co. land in the
Miami camp. This makes the
third strike in succession. The
lead and jack shows almost solid
in the last drill hole for a dis
tance of 5 to 8 feet at 158 feet,
indicating a second run of ore as
most of the others get their ore
at 100-foot level.
The Eastman Land and Invest
ment Co. has started to lay a
tramway from shaft No. 2 to it
big mill. When this is complet
ed the property will be started
up and kept going. This is the
property holding the record pro
duction for the north camp and
we are pleased to see it in oper
ation again.
The Kramer-Morse mill is do
ing fine since the big crusher has
been installed. The ore at this
mine is 48 feet thick and a very
high grade. A large portion o
the yield is lead, which adds
handsomely to value of the con
centrates. With all the drilling
that has been done on this forty
acre lease tne confines ot the ore
have not been determaned.
Chris Newland has two bins o
tine zinc ore on hand and is ad
ding to it every day. He says he
is going to hold his ore until he
gets his price. The ore is of high
grade and Chris should top the
market. Development at this
mine has shown up remarkably
well, 30 feet of high grade ore is
found in a shaft conglomerate
and is easily mined and milled.
The Common Law Mining Co
is pushing its new mill to com
pletion as fast as possible. In
1 1 a . e
me meantime Air. t imotny is
working the underground to have
as much development as possible
opened up by time mill is ready
to run. The drilling on this
lease shows an immense body of
high grade ore over the entire
twenty acres which corresponds
to the bed found on the Micowber
lease to thes outh and with the
drilling on the Baxter Royalty
Co. land to the north.
The largest dump of ore ever
piled up in the camp is now to
be seen at the Sunburst mine
This is certainly going at mining
right, by getting on top a big
lot of ore, before putting a big
lot of money into a mill. It
shows that the management of
the Sunburst is using excellent
judgment by thoroughly opening
up the ground and preparing for
a constant output before building
a mill on its property. This has
always been our idea of the way
mining in this camp should be
done. It is an excellent example
to follow and we hope for the
good of the district that other
companies will follow the Sun
burst's example.
Ben T. Brooks, manager of the
3F Mining Co., has just complet
ed a detailed report to the com
pany on the condition and devel
opment of its property. The re
port shows a careful study of the
conditions of this wonderful de
posit of zinc ore. He tells what
he has done in the way of dem
onstration to convince himself of
the judgement he passed on it at
the time the company made the
purchase. After going into the
geological formation and the
cause for its existence, he esti
mates that above the present
water level it has 41,000 tons of
crush rock that will yield 5 per
cent at a most conservative esti
mate, and values it at $92,250.
This is what is now in sight, it
being but a very small portion of
the lease. Two more levels of
ore are known to exist and are
opened up on the 80 and 105 foot
levels. This is certainly very
gratifying to have so good a re
port from such a conservative an
engineer as Mr. Brooks, and only
goes to show the need of careful
study of the conditions that exist
before spending money for de
velopment Mr. Brooks is now
in Kansas City laying the matter
before his company with a view
of putting the necessary improve
ments on the property to handle
the ore to the best advantage.

fine old lady, and she will be
