Info Title:
Republic With Good Indications of Mineral
A two days' jaunt on horseback took me from Rhyolite hill, on the north, to Grouse mountain, on the south, and from Pisgah, on the west, to Wilson creek, on the east, within which boundaries some four thousand claims have been located.
graphic for visual presentation of text The greater part of those have nothing more than the assessment work done upon them, and in many instances, this has been so indifferently done, and with such an utter abandon and disregard of the statues, that they cannot be held for a moment to comply with the legal requirements.
graphic for visual presentation of text But, in traversing Ennis, Globe, Gold, Bull, Tenderfoot, Womack, Mineral and a score or more of hills in the district, sources of Cripple, Wilson, Requa, Squaw and other water courses, I came upon scores of properties that were being developed with more or less vigor and intelligence, some with tunnels or inclines, others with shafts or open cuts, and the owners of each full of hope and expectations.
graphic for visual presentation of text Among those having already good indications of mineral was the Republic lode claim in Squaw Gulch.

Anaconda Boilers Now Get Water From Morning Glory
Connections for a water supply have been made, and the Anaconda was able to start up her engines yesterday. The Anaconda boilers formerly got their supply from the Republic shaft. Then, when the tunnel had drained the shaft, it was necessary to move the pumps down to the mouth of the Republic tunnel.
graphic for visual presentation of text Now that the tunnel is going dry, the mine has had to shut down for a few days, while pipes were laid to the Morning Glory, from which water is now drawn.

graphic for visual presentation of textTunnel Level Now United With the 210-Foot Level.
graphic for visual presentation of text Connections have been made between the lower level of the Johnston lease of the Republic, and the drift at the tunnel level. This means better ventilation, and eventually the employment of a much larger force, and a consequent increase of the mine's output.
graphic for visual presentation of text Next month the lessees will begin sinking for another level, and this will still further increase the capacity of the mine, which is now something like fifteen tons a day.

graphic for visual presentation of textRich Strike in the Republic Stops All Thought of Quitting.
graphic for visual presentation of text Some days ago a statement went the rounds of the press to the effect that the Johnston lease on the Republic of the Mary McKinney company was about to be abandoned.
graphic for visual presentation of text The reason were that the terms of the lease call for ten feet of sinking every month, and the ore in the upper levels was thought to be pretty well worked out.
graphic for visual presentation of text The water was growing troublesome, and the life of the lease was so short that it would hardly pay to sink for another lift. Now all this has changed.
graphic for visual presentation of text Saturday night the drills broke into a big body of very rich ore, and the lessees at once set about putting the shaft down in order to fulfill the terms of the lease.
graphic for visual presentation of text Yesterday the required ten feet were completed, and it is needless to say that the lease will be worked to the last minute of its life.

Lessees now have 85 feet of stoping ground above them, and in places the pay is four feet wide. Practically all the rock broken is of a smelting grade.

graphic for visual presentation of text One of the lessees last night, in speaking about the Mary McKinney property, said: "I am positive that the owners have given an option upon their holdings, but at the price named they were foolish to do so. I know something about Cripple Creek mines, and I consider the 20 acres owned by the Mary McKinney about the cream of the district.
