Underground work at the Mason
mine is opening up in fine shape.
The water has been beaten.
Hicks and ajsoc'a'es are now
working Sunburst No 3, and are
dumping quite a lot of fine ore.
The Eastman is running stead

the new development in the west
sjtaft.
jt" A new shaft is being sunk east
of the Heap O'Brien mine, which
is being looked after by J. O.
Goodwin.
The 3F is again turning out
some very fine ore, and for the
time the mill is running, is mak
ing ore rapidly.
: Operations are going on stead
ily at the Old Abe mine, where a
good grade of ore is being put
into the bins each day.
Pumping is being done at the
Virginia mine and as soon as the
water is out the property will be
put into commission for a steady
production. ,
Spring River, mine has been
leased out to Starch man & Caul
kins, who are putting machinery
on the ground for further devel
opment. A big car of block lead is piled
out at the Joanna, together with
a car of - high grade silicate.

North of the Sweeney mill, the
"Wichita is dumping some mighty
fine ore, which is being taken
Irom the drifting that is being
done at the 80-foot level in all di
rections.
Sweeney and Sons are produc
ing the regular amount 01 ore
this week. They are cutting
now in the richest dirt encounter
in their ground, and the dirt is
growing richer all the time.
Heap-UiJnen development is
being pushed along as fast as
possible, and is proving to be an
excellent mine. Work so far
shows a bed of ore thirty feet
thick and no definite limit to the
width of it has yet been deter
mined.
Lafe Griffith started up the
Omaha property this week, and
proposes to thoroughly prospect
the lease and put the property in
shape for a big production.
This is a very valuable lease, as
is demonstrated by the many good
properties surrounding it.
Chicago-Quapaw mill is all
ready to start up, as soon as the
new well can be completed, which
is to furnish it with the necessary
water for cleaning purposes. In
shaft No 2 a rich body of ore has
been encountered, which adds
much to this property.
The Eastman Mining Co. is
making good progress with its
shaft No 1 on the Barnes 1. ase,
southwest of the Sweeney mill,
on the Frank Buck land.- Shaft
No. 2 will be started on the same
lease in the near future, so that
both shafts will be completed at
practically the same time.
Captain Parker reports that his
recommendation for the furthei
development of the Hawkeyt
mine have been approved, and
that the mine will be developed
on a systematic plan for the fu
ture handling of a large vol unit
of dirt at a minimum expense,
which will insure a most satis
factory profit.
Two excellent prospects are
laying idle at the present time,
which should prove to be winners
with a little development work
done on them, and they are the
Independence, on the" Sweeney!
land, joining the neap-O'Brien,
J and the McKinley shaft on . the
Catholic forty, next to the Ala
bama, and right south of the
big strikes made by the Big Jack.
The mine which is attracting
the most attention at the present
time, is the Goo I Luck. Since
its new mill has been put into
commission a steady flow of con
centrates has been kept up, ex
ceeding over seven tons during
the ten hours . run. The past
week has developed a large de
posit under the present workings,
which bids fair to snrpass the
rich dirt now being mined at the
present level. This property has
been a money maker from the
start, and as development goes on
it is proving up better.' The lead
ground to the west of the mill
shaft has spread. out until it now
is 23 feet high shows across the
full width of the big western
drift.
The second shaft of the Common-Law
Mining Company was
sunk in record breaking time,
and Tom Timothy, who superin
tended the work, is walking
around with a chip on his shoul
der. He started this shaft the
10th day of October and on the
evening of the 25th of November,
the shaft was 71 feet deep, and
in the biggest ore evej found in
the lead and zinc district. The
shaft is 51-2x9 feet iu the clear,
and was sunk in 47 days. Con
sidering the nature of the ground
we believe this record has not
been beaten. Forty feet of the
ground was as hard as can wel
be imagined, and it was a fight
of powder and steel against the
ground, and the powder and stee
won out. The shaft is seven fee
into an ore body which is as rich
as cream. The ore is encountered
directly under the hard ground
referred to, and is found in spar
ground. The ore breaks free and
clean from the rock, and is in big
pure chunks. Mr. Timothy is
very much elated over the strike,
and says he, wjjl put . the mill in
to commisicra "in a few days and
that it will run" steadily, and he
thinks he is going to make some
record productions. It is only
twelve feet from the mill shaft to
a connection with the new shaft,
and the cutting together of the
two will not consume very much
time.

Opposition' to city improve

the improvement work was first

he organized and was president
