156Info Title:
Union Company Change Their Working Shaft UNION.—This mine, on Bull Hill, is the largest employer of labor there, it giving work to 120 men. This mine, in the hands of an efficient board of directors, who would discard the "penny wise and pound foolish" policy, would soon rank among the first on Bull Hill.
The policy of the present board has been to distribute every cent in the treasury as dividends and let the mine take its chance instead of putting the mine in good shape, sinking a new working shaft in the middle of their ground (900 ft. on the vein), equipped with the best of machinery, and opening up the mine in a miner-like manner, as the present manager, who is competent, should insist on.
The present working shaft, sunk by lessees, is on the extreme south end of their property, and has been sunk to a depth of 440 ft., the vein being 9 ft. wide. The ore shoots, six in number, are now well developed, and the veins are so nearly vertical that cross-cutting from a straight shaft would be inexpensive.
The stockholders should insist that the mine be immediately put into condition to double the output at the same cost, and dividends be paid as regularly as at the Victor and Buena Vista.

Michael McIntyre Loses His Life.
—————————
DROPPED A HUNDRED FEET
—————————
HIS PARTNER HAD LEFT HIM FOR A TIME
IT IS SUPPOSED A ROCK BECAME LOOSENED AND FELL ON HIM
INSTANTLY KILLED.
—————————
Mike McIntyre, a miner employed on the Union company's Pike's Peak shaft, was found dead yesterday morning at the bottom of the stope, 100 feet below where he was working.
It is not known just how he met his death, but it is thought that a rock fell on him and knocked him off the platform.
McIntyre was working with a partner in a stope above the first level. His partner had occasion to leave him for a time, and on his return found him lying dead at the bottom.
Appearances seem to be indicate that he was picking down the loose rock after the shots, and a big rock was loosened and fell on him.
The platform on which he was standing was broken, as was also the platform below on which he was throwing the ore as he took it down.
He had fallen a sheer 100 feet, in the bottom of the second level, and life was crushed out of him. He was stone dead when they picked him up.
McIntyre was a native of Nova Scotia, and was of Scotch descent. He roomed at Altman, just opposite the postoffice. He had no family. Being a member of the Altman Miners' union, that organization will have charge of the funeral ceremonies.

Pike's Peak on Bull Hill Riches Through Porcupine ShaftTHE PIKE'S PEAK ON BULL HILL
———
Why the Union company neglects the Pike's Peak is something nobody knows. The truth is the management is afraid of it. That claim carries about the richest ore the camp has ever produced. Values are not found in strong veins, but in the seams plenty of gold occurs. At that the seams are narrow.
J. W. Osborn opened what is now known as the Porcupine shaft, and out of it he took a small fortune. It took him more than two years to get a second chance at the ground, and he finally got it, and for the simple reason that he is known, not only as a good miner, but as an honest man.
Lately Mr. Osborn has sublet his holdings, but in the meantime he is always about to see that the company gets a square deal.
From the old Porcupine shaft some settlements have recently been had. A five-ton lot ran better than $800 to the ton, while two tons were settled for at close on to a dollar per pound.
Mr. Osborn is one of the miners of the camp whom few people ever hear about, but in the Porcupine shaft he surely knows how to direct as well as to personally take out gold.
From near surface no mine in camp has produced more values or richer ore that the Pike's Peak.

Union Gold Mining Co. InquiryUnion and Colorado Mining Stocks.
4718. (Schenectady, N. Y.) Please inform me regarding what you think of the Union gold mines as an investment? What gold mine stock do you consider the best for an investment? What is a good low priced stock for a speculation?
Ans.: The Union Gold Mining Company owns 35 acres of patented ground on Bull Hill, which has produced $950,000 and paid over $84,000 in dividends. The entire property is being worked under lease at royalties ranging from 30 to 50 per cent. The company is capitalized at 1,250,000 $1 shares. The stock is very favorably regarded in Colorado, and was quoted at about 44c. on January 19.
It would be invidious to single out one particular gold stock as the best for an investment, but, among others, may be mentioned Elkton, Isabella, Portland, Vindicator, Gold Coin, etc. The same remark applies as to a good low-priced stock for a speculation, as there are a number of about equal merit, on the best selection from which probably no two equally well informed persons would exactly agree.

Union Gold Mining Co. Happenings Union Gold Mining Company.—The official reports recently issued show that most of the work was done during the year by lessees. In the main workings the ground was leased in small blocks and considerable ore extracted. The total amount of drifting was 2,918 ft., cross-cutting 1,349 ft., sinking prospect shafts and on Pike's Peak vein, 1,207 ft.
As under leases the ore is taken out as fast as opened, there is very little ore in sight. The total expenses were $36,855, and the total receipts were $57,826, leaving a profit for the year of $20,972.
Harold Starkweather of Cripple Creek is in charge.
