Info Title:
Chicago and Cripple Creek Tunnel People Thinks About Mill
To Try a New Process.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Chicago and Cripple Creek company, which is driving the big tunnel into Globe hill, has let a contract for the building of a new process tunnel near the mouth of their tunnel in Poverty gulch, says the Denver Times.
graphic for visual presentation of text The new process is the discovery of William A. Koneman, formerly connected with the Durango smelter and the Rico Aspen mine.
graphic for visual presentation of text The mill will cost $50,000 and will have a capacity of 100 tons per day. Ore mining as low as $5 per ton can be treated profitable.
graphic for visual presentation of text There is one vein of $10 ore in the Chicago and Cripple Creek tunnel which is forty-five feet in width. This immense body of low grade ore is very refractory, but the patentee of the new process is confident that it can be treated successfully.

Globe Hill Consolidated Mining Co. Inquiry
Globe Hill Cons. Mining Co.
graphic for visual presentation of text 3461. (New Orleans, La.) I will thank you to publish any information you may be able to obtain regarding the Globe Hill Consolidated Mining Co., of Colorado. President, Geo. E. Ross-Lewin; secretary, H. A. McIntyre.
graphic for visual presentation of text I understand the company owns the patented claims, Foggy, Good Enough and Happy Boy, on Globe Hill, about 18 acres. What is the stock worth?
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Ans.: The property of this company consists of the three above mentioned patented claims, which are immediately surrounded by and practically abut upon the following shipping and dividend paying properties: Half Moon, Geneva, Abe Lincoln, May Queen, El Paso Gold King, Lelia and C. O. D.
graphic for visual presentation of text The workings on the three patented claims of the Globe Hill Consolidated Mining Co. consist of half dozen shafts from ten to 50 feet deep, and half a dozen drifts upon the veins cut by the Chicago tunnel, which intersects claims. Such work has been mostly done by lessees, and there are two sets of lessees now at work.
graphic for visual presentation of text The leasers have encountered six or seven different veins of varying value, but, as may be supposed, no ore of a shipping character has thus far been found.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The secretary states that a French mining engineer, Prof. Regnaud, was recently out there, and reported to the French investors, who own considerable of the stock, that the management ought to be at work, and that if the company would expend $20,000 in machinery and opening up the mine, it could be made a great producer and dividend payer.
graphic for visual presentation of text The company is capitalized at $1,500,000, in $1 shares, all the shares having been issued and there being none in the treasury. The company does not owe anything. Nearly 1,200,000 shares are held in what is known as the Globe Hill Pool, of which the secretary of the Globe Hill Consolidated Mining Co., Mr. H. A. McIntyre, is trustee.
graphic for visual presentation of text About 250,000 of the remaining shares are owned in Paris, France, leaving only about 25,000 shares in individual hands in the United States. The stock has never been listed or quoted on any stock exchange.
graphic for visual presentation of text The price at which the shares are held by the Globe Hill Pool is ten cents.

graphic for visual presentation of text Cripple Creek, Colo.—A lease from the Stratton Mining and Milling Company on the Proper mine and the Chicago and Cripple Creek tunnel for the Globe Hill Mining Company has been secured by Al Konselman and considerable prospecting work is now under way on the property.
graphic for visual presentation of text All operations are being carried on through the Chicago tunnel and the present objective is to raise from the tunnel level to connect with the present stopes on the Proper property.
graphic for visual presentation of text At a point two thousand feet from the portal of the tunnel a drift is now being driven in a northeasterly direction under the Proper mine, on Globe Hill. The drift is now approximately 125 feet from the main tunnel and present plans call for continuing this for another 50 feet.
graphic for visual presentation of text Then a crosscut, approximately 25 feet long will be driven and from this point a 130 foot raise should connect with the south end of No. 3 stope of the Proper mine, according to Konselman. This stope was last worked by Dick Tremayne in 1947 and at that time has some excellent values.
graphic for visual presentation of text Konselman pointed out that the work was being carried on through the Chicago tunnel in order to get under the ore of the Proper and make it possible to mine the property less expensively. When this stope was worked from the Proper shaft it was necessary to handle the ore four times but working through the tunnel it will be dropped to the tunnel level and trammed to the portal for shipment.
graphic for visual presentation of text Surface buildings at the portal of the tunnel consist of a change room, compressor house and ore bins. Tram trains used in the 2,000 foot ore are powered by a Universal Tramaire motor. Harry Allen is superintendent of the property.
