<br />SURFACE PLANT- Continued,
<br />book- Boiler room, frame 1b,6 x 40 ft., is 12 ft, west of engine room
<br />ft and connected vaith the same by a 4 ft. passage way,containing
<br /> coal, oil and a 100 $, P, horizontal return tubular boiler,
<br />e the carrying 90 lbs. presaure,,,the last inspected on July 19th,1902.
<br /> Fire protection afforded by hose connection with tank.
<br /> The pressure carried by all of the boilers, other than
<br />type, shaft No. 3, is 100, Altman city water, used for feed water,
<br /> and coel used for firing. The entire surface of .the property is
<br />able lighted by electric lighting. The Colorado Springs & Cripple
<br />rated Creek Short Line R, R. have spurs into No,~ and No,2 shaft.
<br />t The ore treatment employed, is chlorination and smelting,
<br /> which is preceded by a careful hand sorting and ore washing.
<br />p The Company has a large Chlorination Plant, ]ust west of
<br />t of Colorado Springs, which will be described later.
<br /> It may not be amiss to insert here a brief description of
<br /> the operation of the ore vrashing plant at shaft No, 2, All of
<br />:yors,
<br />16 x 55 the ore house waste, se dropped into a bin by the ore sorters,
<br />
<br />;ins passes over a screen, which takes out the dry fines, the remainder,
<br />,
<br />ick, continues downward over an iron plate, perforated with holes 5~8"
<br />ion, in diameter, set on an incline, on the surface of which, numerous
<br /> ing
<br />,, PS bets of water playing in various directions, wash off all the fine
<br /> still adhering to the rook, into a tank, from which it is collected
<br />d and dried on a large flat hollow sheet iron box heated by exhaust
<br /> steam frem the hoisting engine. The vrater used is a small amount,
<br />ae oiroulating continually through a small boiler feed pump, run by
<br /> exhaust steam from the hoisting engine. The .waste which hoe
<br /> passed through the ore vraeher, is transferred by a belt conveyor
<br />sin- to a bucket elevator, which elevates 1t to a bin above the shaft
<br /> level, from vahioh it is trammed to the dump by tho same oars, that
<br /> handles the waste direct from the shaft. The reason for the last
<br /> operation boing, that 'no dumping room is, available, ad~aoent to
<br />save, the ors washer, owing to the ground boing taken up by the rail-
<br />ft, road tracks, etc,
<br />dine, Two men will care for an ore washer, such ae described above,
<br />C which wor]cs an 8 hour shift. A similar plant operates at No.].
<br /> shaft, and one has ~VSt been installed on the lame dump to the
<br /> - south of No,l shaft, from which 30 tone of fines are recovered
<br /> daily, having an average assay value.of,~2U por ton,
