The Squaw Mountain Tunnel company, of Cripple Creek, will discontinue the driving of the tunnel for the present, and devote its time to stoping and shipping ore from their rich vein, which the tunnel has thus far cut.

In evidence of the fact that Squaw mountain tunnel is revealing in richness, Mr. C. G. Greenwood yesterday showed THE TIMES representative a certificate just from the assayers office which showed a value from an eight inch streak in one of the veins of $2,364 to the ton. In other veins from which ore is being shipped the assays were $51.60, $36.40 and $3.80. The Squaw mountain tunnel has good ore and plenty of it.

The Squaw Mountain tunnel has the distinction of being one of the biggest and best. It has now pushed its way over 1,400 feet into Squaw mountain, cutting five well defined veins and a number of rich seams of ore.
Vein No. 4, 750 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, has been drifted upon and a station is now being cut in the north drift preparatory to sinking a winze.
The last shipment of ore was made the first of the month and two or three cars have since been taken out ready for shipment. Total shipments from the tunnel amount to about 240 tons of an aggregate value of over $18,000.
C. G. Greenwood is president, H. W. Burkett vice-president and Edwin Moore secretary of the company.

Cripple Creek.—Allen & Co., leasing in the Squaw mountain tunnel near Victor, have opened a large body of low-grade ore. The vein is 10 ft. wide and carries values from $6 to $14 per ton.
The ore will probably be treated at the Santa Rita mill.

Cripple Creek.—Robert Allen, operating the Squaw mountain tunnel through the west slope of Squaw mountain is reported to have made quite a strike. The vein is over 4 ft. wide and on either side is a small seam that runs from $12 to $22.50 a ton. The lessees are now breaking about 15 tons daily of low-grade material.

Squaw mountain, in the eastern end of this district, south of Victor, is the scene of an important discovery made by Clint Duffield and the Finley brothers of Cripple Creek, lessees, operating on the May B. and Guess claims, owned, respectively, by the United Gold Mines Co. and the Petrel Gold Mining and Milling Co.
Prospecting by cross cut from the Squaw Mountain tunnel level, a porphyry dyke, carrying ore, has been encountered , running at right angles to the May B. vein.
