Jeff Davis to Be Operated Again
Colorado Springs, Col., Dec. 7.—Operations are shortly to be started again on the Jeff Davis claim, which is located on the east slope of BullGold Hill and belongs to the Lexington property. Operators have opened up a number of small stringers of ore, but up to the present time have never prospected them in the direction they trend, so it is the intention of the new operators to push work in that direction, and it is believed that big ore will be opened up.
Nearly $15,000 worth of ore in a small pocket was taken out of this property near the surface, the ore having been opened when the Short Line Railroad was cutting its way through the Lexington territory.

Jeff Davis to Be Reopened
JEFF DAVIS GROUP AT CRIPPLE CREEK IS NEW OPERATION
——————
Cripple Creek, Colo.—The Jeff Davis mine, one of the older properties in this rich gold district, is being opened by Miller Hasselbalch & Co. of Omaha, Neb. Clarence Peterson, local representative of the company, announced last week that surface work had been practically completed. A new gallows frame and hoist house have been constructed and a gasoline hoist installed. The company has put in a portable diesel compressor. There is still work to be done on the shaft before underground operations can start.
Peterson prospected the underground workings several months ago and reported favorable to the company, which then made plans to begin operations. There are several good prospects and mining will start on them within the next few days.
The Jeff Davis comprises two claims and is located on Gold Hill. It has been over 30 years since it was worked, but at that time it had a good reputation as a steady producer of medium grade ore.
G. E. Rinck of Omaha is secretary of the company and is making his home in Manitou Springs.
