The Elkhorn is on a list of properties which produce pay ore, published by the Cripple Creek "Crusher."

ELKHORN.—This mine, on Tenderfoot Hill, adjoining the Hayden Placer subdivision, is again being worked by that veteran successful miner, Mr. Hall. The depth of the shaft is 100 ft., but all the work has been done at the 80 and 40 ft. levels.
This claim is an 1891 location. Early in 1893 the whole of the vein "panned well," the quartz being very white and porous, but below the 40-ft. level the vein was thoroughly unoxidized and composed largely of iron pyrites, carrying values of from $8 to $15 per ton. In addition to the regular Elkhorn vein two crosscuts exposed two other veins and on these Mr. Hall intends to make the development.
The district north of town has thus far been unprofitable work.

Elkhorn.—This mine, directly north of Cripple Creek, is fast developing into a mine in the hands of lessees.
A shaft has been sunk 132 ft. In the bottom of the shaft is a well defined east and west vein 18 in. wide, largely composed of iron pyrites and quartz, assaying from $20 to $80 per ton. The iron pyrites near the surface assayed only a few dollars per ton.
Considerable stoping has been done on the east and west vein on the 85-ft. level west, and a sample from the north and south vein, taken from the 5-ft. breast of the north drift, assayed $12.

Solitaire Company.— It is said that the lease on the Elkhorn which expires September 8th will not be extended. The Elkhorn is well developed, having a 450-ft. shaft and numerous drifts and cross-cuts.

Company is active or promise to be active trader on various exchanges.
