Some of the richest ore seen in the district has been taken from the new strike in the Kalamazoo shaft, on Bull hill. The ore is rusty gold, mixed with sylvanite, and it is said there is 2 ft. of it. The vein has not been developed to any extent.

La Montagne brothers' lease on the Kalamazoo of the Alert Gold Mining Co., will shortly commence shipping.

Surveyors have been in the field to determine the boundary line between Kalamazoo and Silver Tip lode mining claims on Bull hill, the former owned by the Alert Gold Mining Co., and the Silver Tip by the United Gold Mines Co.
A rich strike was recently made by Antonio Luto, lessee from the United Gold Mines Co., but so close to the line that Paddock and partner, the Alert company's lessees, are confident that Luto is over the line.

This company has bought the Little Joe and Kalamazoo claims on Bull Hill near Altman. The price given is $72,500. This company has been operating a lease on some of the Damon property close to the north end of the claims purchased, and took out considerable ore.
The new property lies parallel to the Wild Horse claim of the Consolidated Gold Mines Company, which is shipping largely. The Little Joe and Kalamazoo where bought from W.H. Reynolds of New York, who has done a large amount of work on them.
Mr. Reynolds still retains an interest in the property and was elected president of this company. The other officers are Mr. Stovel and O. W. Pitcher. Mr. Pitcher is general manager.

Three prospecting permits have been granted on the Kalamazoo and Little Joe claims of the Alert Gold Mining Co.

One of the largest consolidations of property within, the Cripple Creek district is announced from the Colorado Springs office of the Woods Investment Company. The Kalamazoo claim is included in the deal.

A strike of great richness has just been made on the Kalamazoo, located on the summit of Bull hill. The property is owned by P. E. C. Burke, and is operated under a $75,000 bond and lease by W. H. Reynolds of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The lessee has worked the claim for a long time, and has put down a shaft 500 feet in depth. The ore chute was encountered in a crosscut run from this shaft, and is supposed to be an extension of the Emma No. 2 vein.
The ore gives assays of almost $1,500 to the ton, and while the full extent of the find is not yet known, the lessees complacently admit that it is a big strike. They are now putting up ore bins and preparing to make immediate shipments.
The presence of Mr. Reynolds and half a dozen New York friends in camp for the past two days has led to rumors of the bond being taken up at once, but this is denied.

Operations have been resumed on the Kalamazoo on Bull hill, by lessees of the Elmohar Gold Mining Co., who are unwatering the shaft. The property was originally owned by the Alert Gold Mining Co., W. H. Reynolds of New York president.
The new company was formed on the expiration by limitation of the Alert charter.
