108Info Title:
Legal Tender Shaft Down 210 Feet & Shipment Done
LEGAL TENDER.—This mine is owned by the Golden Cycle Mining & Milling Company, and has made a shipment of 300 tons of $30 ore this month. This shaft is now 210 ft. deep, but a drift at the 160-ft. level north for 6 ft. wide averages $25 per ton.

The first steam hoist in the camp was erected on this claim over four years ago, and now it looks as if this property is to be one of the big shippers of the district.

This claim is being worked by Mr. Cone, one of the pioneers of the camp, and an "old-timer" of the State.

Legal Tender Doing Well and Gets Surface Improvements
LEGAL TENDER.—This is one of the claims owned by the Golden Cycle Company. During July, 300 tons of $30 and 50 tons of $100 ore were shipped from a drift at the 210-ft. level, working 16 men.

The shaft has been sunk 250 ft., a 130-H. P. boiler has recently been added to the surface improvements, a 80-H. P. steam hoist and a Norwalk air compressor are on the ground, and will be at work during the present month.

This property bids fair to become one of the big producers. Mr. Core, the manager, has been at work on this property for over four years and has done several hundred feet of development work and at last has been rewarded.
