GOLD KING MINING COMPANY.—The El Paso, owned by this company, is looking well. The mine was for over four years worked by tunnels, but now a 2-compartment shaft, 4 ft. 4 in. by 8 ft., has been sunk 300 ft.
At a low estimate it is stated there are $30,000 worth of ore in the slopes (broken), and the reserves are daily increasing. The property has recently been examined for an English syndicate. The company, within the past year, has bought several adjoining claims.
The mine now employs 60 men.

EL PASO.—This mine, owned and worked by the Gold King Mining Company, shows improvement with development. Sinking is resumed below the 300-ft. level and it is expected that shortly after July 1st a station will be cut for another level. It is reported that at the bottom level a rich ore shoot has recently been uncovered, assaying 8 oz. for 3 ft. wide.
The shipments of first-class ore are about 250 tons a month.

Gold King Mining Company.—The El Paso, owned by this company, steadily increases its force, and now gives employment to 70 men.
A compressor, small and temporary, has been started and will be in use for about four weeks, when it is expected that a 10-drill compressor will be at work. The two new 100 H. P. boilers give every satisfaction.
Sinking has been suspended in the shaft until such time as the new machinery is ready to start work. The present water in the shaft varies from 10 to 12 buckets an hour.
