They claim the present product to W' worth sixty dollars. The general course of this claim is the Mine ;is the Norwegian. It may Iv a distinct h-dge of this 1 have nothing to say, further than that it might le desirable for its owners and thereof the Norwegian to maintain friendly relations. The finest mine upon this hill however, how-ever, in our humble opinion, is the Kgg gJL'LlAX LAN K, ituatixi ujwn tne summit oi tne Kime (Chloritle) hill. It is composed ol twelve hundred feet running eight hundred southerly and four hundml northerly from their discover shall. The owners have sunk a shaft nearly two hundred feet : almost all the way they have a fine Kxly of milling ore. Mr. Dell, who represented a Chicago company last year, in your city, pur chased quite a quantity of it, the vrtl- 1 ue of which was fixed from sample, assays made by McVicker. The owners own-ers leased Benson's nra.-tra, at Kast j Canon last fall, and worked a quan- tity of their ore. And this summer they have sold a considerable quantity to the Wyoming mill, at Homanville, in this district. isoniething near two hundred feet north of their main shaft they have sunk another, alout twenty-five feet, which shows a splendid body of fine milling ore. Still further down the hill on the north side, the owners of the Julian Lane have commenced com-menced a tunnel, through which they purpose working their mine. This will penetrate the hill nearly four hundred feet below the summit. Fine specimens of this ore have been sent to the prominent museums ami institutions throughout the whole j country, and have received general . praise for their intrinsic value as well ; as appearance. .Some of its owners have been many yenrs among the mountains. txiine times they have felt the hand of want, and been sorely perplexed to tell how to get along. Now they must feel a seuse of pride at THE COLD Hlt.I, Is situated upon the north-east side of the same lull. It is composed of twelve hundred feet, and is claimed by its owners as a cross lodge, running easterly and westerly. However this ! may be, it is a remarkable deposit of ore. Their shaft is nearly sixty feet deep. The ore at the top is fully six feet wide, steadily increasing. At the bottom, a cut thirteen feet long has been run southerly, showing ore nil the way, with more ore in front. The ore has beivn taken out here, leaving a chamber nearly twenty feet long and ten wide entirely in ore. What amount still remains around the chamber, I can form no idea. It certainly looks very Haltering, promising prom-ising handsome returns to its owners. They have sold considerable of it to the "Wyoming mill, and recently they have sold their second grade to another an-other company, who arc testing its value as free milling ore. It is a very promising mine, and will find purchasers pur-chasers at a fair price during the summer. sum-mer. Other mines 1 will speak of in my next. W. K. Ii- |
