ALAMO.

The management of the Alamo company has decided to do all work through the Ophelia tunnel instead of through the shaft which has been used until recently.
The depth obtained in the tunnel workings is about 450 feet, the expense of working here being only about $6 per foot, while the cost of sinking in the shaft is about $20 per foot.
The drift which is being run has about 200 feet further to go before getting directly under the shaft and connection will be made at that point with the shaft by means of an upraise.
The drift along the vein has so far accomplished a distance of about 1,000 foot, the company having been at work for the past three or four months.
Besides drifting a considerable amount of crosscutting has been done to explore the territory and more will be done as soon as the drift has been run the other 200 feet. The vein shown about 3½ feet in width and assays have been obtained running as high as $300 to the ton.
All work will be done through the tunnel until the workings are connected with the air shaft.

Alamo Mining Co.
3506. (New Orleans, La.) I will thank you for an expression of opinion regarding the Alamo Mining Company. The stock is listed on the Colorado Springs exchange. The company own, I am told, 25 acres of patented ground on Gold Hill, adjoining the Anaconda property, and is said to be conservatively managed by very reliable men.
It is desired to know to what extent the property has been developed, and whether active work is being done by the company at present.

Ans.: We are informed that there are several shafts upon the property of this company, although none of great depth. There is one lease let on the entire property, but no shipments have been made from it, and the company is doing no work on the property on its own account.
The lessees have drifted about 60 feet, and are still prospecting. The stock is considered a fair speculation at from two to three cents, but it is not believed that the present price of five cents is justified by the present condition of the property.

The Alamo leasers have broken into a five-foot lead in a drift on the Happy Day lode, which is down 60 feet. The Happy Day is being worked by Charles Keith and Milo Hoskins. It appears to be the same vein as that found in the Gold King.
