Before they could U-gin taking out ore this year, however, the. water broke into the upper levels and. Hooded Hi 11 mine. To drain these levels it was necessary to drive tho lower tunnel ahead and make two up raises. Superintendent Osborn who was iu town Saturday, says that while the upraises have not mads the connection with tho levels, they hove drained thrm, and that ho anticipates being ablo to muke a production and and start up the concentrator in a sho;t time.

Six men are now employed on this property and the mine is looking belter than ever before.

A few years ago it was bought for a song. After it had been carefully developed for some time so as to determine its value, a part iuterost was sold to an English company last winter. From Mr. I). J.

Tha stock before being issued was sold at private sale at a premium of seven shillings a share; it only being listed on fie London Lon-don siock exchange the 10th inst. It perhaps may not be out of place to mention that this great property was developed from a prospect in a little over two years under tha efficient and intelligent superiutendenoy of J. M. liealy, who is an old Colorado man. The mine is similar in formation to tho great Comstock lode in Nevada. The country rock being antlersitio porphry with a great irou-clay dyke cutting cut-ting through it, running along the apex of the mountain nearly east and west, and being about 110 foet in thickness thick-ness and pitches to the south at an angle of about 33 degrees from the perpendicular. per-pendicular. The ore bodies or chutes occur oc-cur in a scries, running from northwest north-west to southeast and occur at regular intervals from 150 to 200 feet apart and forming an acute angle with the iron dyke which forms the hanging wall or vein. The tirst or smallest chute or ledgo cut by the tunnel has an averago thickuess of four feet, tha second oue about the same and the third, or what is called the Hamilton is tw enty-seven feet iu thickness. The next one, which occurs 200 feet further in has a thickness thick-ness of seventy-seven foet between walls w here it was cut Ly tho tunnel, divided into a hanging wall ledgo and foot wall ledgj, such averaging about ten to twelve feet in thickness, but after af-ter drifting about fifty feet to the southeast south-east on the pitch of the chute both ledges co hie together and form one solid chute of cleau quart, of an average aver-age thickness of about thirty-live feet. One man can break twenty tons of ore on each shift in this large chute. The Shipment from tha Utah. Chipmaa & Grant expect a shipment of 30,000 of ore from the Utah mine at l"ish springs tomorrow.

The Minuie mine in Carr's Fork has made a good discovery. It begins to look very much as if an option had been given ou the Cen'euial Furelfa. ore chutes have an averago length of 250 feet on their strike. The present tunnel level cut these chutes at a depth of 200 feet. There has been an iucliuo run down on the seventy-seven-foot vein or chute ou the strike of tho ore chute a distance of 110 feet, showing it strouger than above and standing somewhat some-what straighter. They are now driving a tunnel lower do-vu the hill which will cut the vein 200 feet deeper. The tunnel is already in between 1100 and 1200 foet and they expect to have to drive about 400 feel moro before cutting the several chutes. There is a twenty stamp mill already running night aud day, and plans are being prepared for a tony or sixty stamp mill to be built this summer. The present mill runs an average of from liftv-live to sixty tons a day of ore ICx-Senator Tabor of Colorado has become interested in the gold mines of Wyoming. Western smelters say there is a laree increase in tho receipts of ore this year over those of last. The shafts of the Lucky Hill Mining company at Talk is parsing through favorable ore formation at a depth of 170 feet. George W.
