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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Republic; Johnson Lease
Johnson Lease Making Heavy High Grade Shipments.


Superintendent J. B. Bell returned yesterday from Denver and resumed his work as manager of the Johnson lease on the Republic. He expects to make the output of the property much higher even that it has heretofore been.

Ore is now being taken from the tunnel as fast as the teams can haul it. Two cars were loaded yesterday, and to-morrow a car of high grade ore will be sent out.

Mr. Bell predicts that September will be the banner month for the Johnson lease. The misunderstanding between Mr. Bell and some of the Mary McKinney company has been amicably adjusted, and he will retain the management of the property.

Johnston Lease on Republic Reaches Tunnel
UPRAISE FROM THE 210-FOOT LEVEL OF JOHNSTON'S LEASE REACHES THE TUNNEL LEVEL.

—————————

CONNECTIONS MADE.

—————————

Tunnel Level Now United With the 210-Foot Level.

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.

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.

Rich Strike in Republic Change Things
ORE ON THE REPUBLIC.

—————————

WILL WORK ON.

—————————

Rich Strike in the Republic Stops All Thought of Quitting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SHAFT IS DEEPENING.

Sinking is going on steadily on the Johnston shaft on the Republic at Anaconda. The men have about 30 feet yet to go before the next lift will be completed. This will make the shaft 150 feet below the level of the tunnel, and about 280 feet below the surface. It will open up a large block of stopping ground, all the large block of stopping ground, all the of their lease.

Republic Lessees Elgan Leasing Co. Working Its Leases
What The Elgan Leasing Company Is Doing.

———

THE ELGAN LEASE.

No block of ground in the Cripple Creek district that is under lease that the writer can think of at the moment has a better showing than that on the Republic claim of the Mary McKinney company, worked by the Elgan Leasing company.

There is now broken and ready for hoisting about 150 tons of ore that will run from $80 to $120 to the ton. The lease expires in December, but some time this week another lift will be started, and when this job is finished the shaft will be 400 feet deep. 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.


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.
