Australia Lessee Hickman Down 115 Feet and Will Start New Level SoonHickman Lease Laying out a Good Block of Ore at 130 Feet.
———
Sinking is still in progress on the Hickman lease on the Australia. The shaft is now 115 feet deep, and the lessees will sink to 130 feet before starting another level. This will give them a block of 50 feet of stoping ground. The only ore now being saved is that taken from the shaft in sinking.
The shaft encounters a number of stringers of fluorine at intervals, and it is the belief of the lessees that when the contact between the phonolite and granite is reached a richer ore chute than ever will be encountered.

Australia Lessee SmilesWHY HE SMILED.
Douglas Gray had a smile on his face last night as he came into town, which has only been equalled by that which spread over the face of the champion pie-eater at the Fourth of July contest.
The cause was the finding by him of the ore chute which he lost some time ago in working his lease on blocks 7 and 8 of the Australia. The find was made in sinking a winze at a depth of 270 feet from the surface. This is about the depth that the rich ore chute of the Orizaba ought to be encountered, and as the same undoubtedly runs through Mr. Gray's ground, he was quite jubilant.
The vein is about three feet wide, and shows quite an abundance of fluorine and sylvanite, such as is found in all the rich veins on Beacon hill. A sample taken from a streak about four inches wide in the large vein assayed 23 ounces.

El Paso Consolidated Gold Mining Co. Happenings El Paso Gold Mining Company.—At the annual meeting the following directors were elected: George Bernard, H. H. Barbee, J. M. Jordon, S. S. Bernard, Dr. J. W. Graham. The principal business of the meeting was to ratify the purchase of the Columbia Claim of the Cripple Creek-Columbia Company for 525,000 shares of El Paso stock.
The reports of the president and the superintendent showed the property to be in very good condition. Since the last meeting the company has absorbed the property of the Kimberly Company, besides that of the Cripple Creek-Columbia, and also purchased the Little May and Australia Claims.
The capitalization has been increased to 200,000 shares. The output of the mine amounted to 2,250 tons of an average value of over $50 per ton, making a gross value of $117,901. The superintendent's report shows that a good ore shoot has been opened on the 600-ft. level, from which a few shipments of high-grade ore have been made.
S. S. Bernard was elected president; H. H. Barbee, vice-president, and J. M. Jordon, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Barbee will represent the Cripple Creek-Columbia interest. This company is now the strongest on Beacon Hill and owns over 60 acres of patented ground.
The property is equipped with a large hoist and compressor, and is in shape to do deep work. William Bainbridge is superintendent.

El Paso HappeningsEl Paso.—For the past three months there has been shipped from this Beacon hill mine upwards of 135 cars of ore valued at about $260,000 and the gross production for the last half of the year has exceeded $500,000.
With the working force, which numbers 170 men, it is questionable if this record is exceeded by any in the district.
- The ore shipped is largely mined at present in 500, 600 and 700-foot northeast levels which are being extended into the recently acquired Beacon Hill-Ajax property.
- In the 700-foot level the water, amounting to about 120 gallons per minute, is dropped to the 800-foot level, thence pumped to the drainage tunnel at the 600-foot level.
- The present flow from the El Paso drainage tunnel amounts to about 4,700 gallons per minute as compared with 5,700 gallons three or four months ago.
- The Lonaconing mine, owned by the El Paso company, is now under lease to Wyatt and Burnside, who are making regular shipments, amounting to about ten cars monthly.
W. M. Bainbridge is the manager in charge of the El Paso company's mine operations.
