Show THE NEWHOUSE TUNNEL A great enterprise which Is more than realizing optimistic expectations for years the mining world has been interested te in the driving of the newhouse tunnel at idaho springs colorado at times as the work dragged along the final outcome was a matter of doubt although it had been earnestly believed that this great bore would eventually provide an avenue through which large ore bodies could be economically and profitably worked at depths far below the original water levels now however it is being demonstrated that the advantages to be derived from the tunnel were no idle dreams and realization is great ore body has been explored and prepared for mining on a large scale the output of the shaff shatter er lease in the gem is growing from month to month and it is confidently anticipated that it will continue cinti nue to the surface 1100 feet above as its continuation downward over 1000 feet to the tunnel level has been demonstrated by the operations of white and van this latter strike will become a great producer within a few months in which the ore shoot will be drifted and st parties are planning to do some heavy development in the levels above to open this ore shoot also together with the standard and regular output of the saratoga sun and moon and king bee make a volume of business in immediate anticipation that will establish new conditions in the tunnel this splendid development is in no small measure mease re due to the more liberal policy now ruling in the tunnel management which has given to operators an encouragement they did not feel formerly the response to these new terms has been rapid and we feel is a justification of gazettes contention that all mining operations can be and are stimulated or depressed by the policies of the management affairs of the magnitude of mining operations are necessarily sluggish as the breaking of avenues through hard ground must invariably precede realization of expectations and this has been notably true of the development of business bubines s in the newhouse tunnel but it now appears that the long period of waiting is nearly at an end proving to be of more far reaching importance than were expectations as splendid ore reserves are now being worked which could not possibly be touched were it not for the existence of the tunnel in speaking of this mammoth enterprise the mining alining gazette of idaho springs says mining in the newhouse tunnel is in a more promising condition at this time than it has ever before been and the winter will show a big development of tributary business while the scope of business that will be realized within the next few years can now begin to be comprehended the present prospect is founded upon the great ore bodies which have been developed in the last two years in lateral explorations and which now are in shape for heavy and continued production the most substantial of these is the immense ore body in the D dyke yke lode which the lateral penetrated for a distance of feet and which is now being for sloping an equally satisfactory condition exists in the prize lode where a |
