Show OLD Mill STILL IS HEflVY SHIPPER Campaign of Development May Result in Still Larger I Tonnage'. One of TlntJc's heaviest shippers since the first of the present year is tho old Mammoth, a property that has several millions m dividends to its credit and ono of tlio oldest producers In the district, Kaya the Eureka Reporter. The Mum-moth's Mum-moth's present output amounts to about 150 tons each day and Manager Samuel Mclntyre is carrying on an oxtenslvo campaign of development work which may result In a muoh larger tonnagu. Practically Prac-tically all of the oro that Is now belns shipped from the Mammoth Is coming from one of tho big reserve dump3 on tho surfaco, and while the oro la of a low grado It can bo depended upon for a pretty fair rovonuo with proper loading faclIltlo3 und decent treatment from the railroad nnd smelter. Ijatit week tho high lino to tho Mammoth Mam-moth mino was blocked with snow nnd j this caused a. reduction In tho output, but the lino has been kopt open throughout the "present week. To Connect Winze by April 1. By tho 1st of April Superintendent "William "Wil-liam OweriH oxpects to havi; the 1550 level of tho Eaglo vt Blue Bell mine connected with tho winze which has already been sunk nearly 200 foot below iho 1350, which previous to tlie sinking of the main shaft a Bhort time ago was the deepest level in the property. -SIidcc the shaft work stopped about tho ilrst of the present pres-ent year nearly 150 feet of drifting has been done on the 1550 level, and Mr. Owens bolleveu chat he still bus 250 feet of ground to cut out beforo lie can connect con-nect this level up with tho 1350 wlnzo. . Over one-third of the oro now being shipped from the Eaglo & Blue Bell mine Is being taken, from the two levci.s below the 1350 and which at Lho present time aro reached only by tho winze, and consequently con-sequently It can readily be seen that a connection with the 1550 level will be of considerable benelit to tlie mine. It will mean much better ventilation of the newer new-er workings of tho property and a substantial sub-stantial reduction in operating expenses, as the ore can bo dropped down to the 1550 and brought directly to tho surface. At the present time It is necessary to hoist to tho 1350 and then tram tho ore to tho main shaft, through which it 13 hoisted tlio second tlmo before It can. be landed at the surface. Tho switch crow on tho Rio Grande rnilway is becoming expert In bucking Its way through tho snow and it has been making regular trips to tho Eagle, the mine's output being about normal for tho prosent week. Crown Point to Resume. "When .losoph Wirthlln was out from Salt Lake a few days ago he stated that early In the coming spring work will be taken up again nt the Crown Point property prop-erty in the eastern end of the district. The officials of the company aro confident confi-dent that their ground contains somo good ore nnd that it can be located If the development work is handled ia the proper manner. Tho shareholders, who wore assessed for tho work which has been done In the past, havo had a few months' rest and In most cases they have expressed a deElro to havo the property back In tho active list. Before work Is taken up at the Crown Point It will too neocssary to levy another small assessment. Victoria Looking Well. During the past few days the Victoria stock has been steadily advancing and this has resulted in tho circulation of numerous nu-merous rumors. As near as it is possiblo pos-siblo to learn there has been no important impor-tant change In the underground workings of tho mine, but it is generally understood among local people that the property is looking better than, at any lime In tlio past two years. The mine Is shipping no more ore than usual, but tho careful handling of the output is bringing the values up considerably. Within the next week or two Superintendent Shea will probably be ready to send out three cars of unusually rich oi-c, one carrying copper, cop-per, tho other gold and the third a high-grade high-grade lead-sliver product. These three cars will fatten up the earnings for February, Feb-ruary, as the oro should "bring between $2000 and $3000 per car. Tunnel at Dragon Consolidated. During the present week tlie tuiinul which Is being Bent out toward the north In the Dragon Consolidated property connected con-nected with tho old Black Dragon shaft, the depth at wlxlch tho shaft was cut by tho tunnel being about 300 , feet. This shaft was sunk many years ago "before the ground was owneYI by the Dragon company. Tt was put down on tho nmln big vein which the tunnel Is now following follow-ing and the work at that time resulted In the opening of a large deposit of low-grado low-grado on;. Connecting the tunnel with this shaft will he cmlte an advantage to tlio Dragon company in tho way of ventilation ven-tilation of the long tunnel, which Is now in a distance of about 1700 feet.
