<br />THE ST. PATRICK.
<br />i i A tvEV~ Anv Tito St. Patrick lido lines with the Freeland, and has a parallel vem, recently
<br />VALUABLE discovered, from which lessees are now saving ore. ? he r;enerui iti~rtt tiiUti is the
<br />ORE SHOOT. same as the Freeland, and the'ore seems to be identical. Should the vein con-
<br />tinue as at present explored, tae company t+'itl own over 3,00o feet of it, ana when nne considers its
<br />resemblance to the Freeland, and the fact that it is all virgin ground, it wotdd'nor seem over-san-
<br />guine to anticipate that fLis mine will prove to be one of the company's best properties. At present
<br />it is being worked through across-cut from the Freeland level of the Freeland mine, and will
<br />be affected by the tunnel tUe same as'the Freeland and the Toledo.
<br />THE BUSH AND DICKEY.
<br />The Bush and the Dickey also adjoin the Freeland, and o otoo in the last rivo years, the Split
<br />~ _ _. vein, from which lessees are reported to Uave taken over $5
<br />THE OTHER PROPERTIES OF THE COMPANY.
<br />The Toledo Extension, Toledo Side, Lace County, Maid of the Mist, Senorita, El Capi
<br />taine and Gladstone adjoin the Freelands, Toledo and St. Patrick, and aside from their prospect
<br />ive value owing to this district having many parallel veins, they are very valuable in protecting
<br />the apex rights of the other properties of the company.
<br />So far, there has been comparatively little prospecting on these claims, except the necessar;
<br />patent work. They all show good, strong veins, however, and promise well with development
<br />~,~„~;,~,;: ~ r,,,.,,~ The other properties of the company are not patented, with the exception of the Fal
<br />Extension, Falu No. 2 and Falu No. 3, and are located in such manner as to protect all of th
<br />rights of the tunnel, which will pass through the entire territory. So far, there has not bee
<br />sufficient developmenhwodc done on these claims to open up any large ore bodies, bttt as the
<br />are traversed by many veins and dykes, as is shown by the outcroppings, it ~is the belief of tl'
<br />management that long before the tuvocl reaches the Freeland many other valuable mines wi
<br />be opened up.. The company expects to patent thb remainder of these properties at once.
<br />THE NIcCLELLAND TUNNEL,
<br />Unexcelled Facilities for Handling Ore. AWell-Planned Enterprise.
<br />The tunnel consists of six tunnel locations, aggregating r8,ooo feel, starting in Clear Cre~
<br />valley, 2q8 feet from the main lice of the Colorado & Southern Railroad, and 456 feet frmn Cle
<br />Creek, which is 64 feet lower than the mouth of the tunnel. The company.also ,owns a tar
<br />acreage at the mouth of the funnel for dumping ground, and has started sufficiently high
<br />enable an automatic concentrating mill at the month of the huvml to place its ore directly aC t
<br />railroad. •
<br />WHERE THE The trwuel, which is now befog driven, fs projected directly towards I
<br />MONEY Freeland•Toledp group, and will reach them ou the dip of their veins in aU~
<br />5 MA013 S,roo feel, ctttfiug them at a depth from the surface of from r,lioo to 3,300 (e
<br />acconliug to the coutoux of the ground, the company's engineer estimating that the tunnel v
<br />tap the pay shoot of the Freeland r,3oo feet below the lowest workings, and tite Toledo ab
<br />r,8oo feet. With the values continuing to that depth (and the grenC Newhouse Titunel is
<br />scone district has demonstrated that they do), the amount of ore fn sight when the tonne
<br />completed ahottld bC almost beyond cowputation,
