Caledonia—This property, situated on the south spur of Gold hill, is to be sold at trustee's sale to satisfy a note given some years ago by Henry Seaton-Karr and Earnest Alfred Foster as trustees.
The property is owned by English people, and at one time produced considerable ore. No work has been done on the property for some time.

A tremendous strike has been made in the Caledonia lode, situated about one-half mile from Cripple Creek. It is nicely located so far as pay mines go, the nearest being the Anaconda, about one-quarter to one-half mile away. The mountain on which this claim is located does not appear to be named but is a promontory of Gold Hill. The present owners are the H. H. Tompkins Hardware company of Cripple Creek, H. Parsons and J. Morris Finn.
A sample of twelve sacks were sent to Denver for treatment and were found to run $400 in gold and four ounces of silver to the ton. The vein is from 50 to 100 feet in width between granite walls. Through this big vein runs small streaks of quartz, from which the high grade or smelting ore was taken. The whole vein, on repeated assays, has shown values of from $8 to $40 per ton, without any sorting.
The Caledonia gives promise of being one of the biggest discoveries ever made in the camp.

NEW PLANT ON THE CALEDONIA STARTED
CALEDONIA MILL IS AT WORK.
—————————
NEW PLANT STARTED.
—————————
Caledonia Now Has Its New Steam Plant and Mill Going.
Manager Weicher yesterday started up his new plant of machinery on the new main working shaft on the Caledonia. He first steamed up the plant a few days ago, but a number of changes were found necessary, and no work was done at the time. Now it is all in good condition, and a force of men will be put to work on the shaft to-day.
It is the intention to sink for 300 feet more before any crosscut is made to the vein. The shaft is now 70 feet deep, and a contract has been let for the work of putting it down to the desired depth. At that depth the shaft will be 18 feet from the vein, the ore chute having been located by the workings from the old shaft.
The old Gold Geyser mill, recently purchased from the Gold Geyser company by Mr. Weicher, has also been started up, and while it is yet in the experimental stage, Mr. Weicher thinks it stands a show of proving a success.
As has been stated in these columns, it is intended to handle the enormous dump of the Caledonia if it can be made to save the values.

BOUGHT A GOLD MILL

GOLD GEYSER PURCHASED
—————————
CALEDONIA HAS A BIG DUMP OF VALUABLE ROCK
—THIS MILL WILL BE USED IN ITS TREATMENT
—PRESIDENT CHAPIN MADE THE SALE.
—————————
A deal was consummated yesterday by which the Gold Geyser mill, located in the gulch below the city, passed into the hands of the Caledonia Gold Mining company.
The Gold Geyser has not worked except for a few days at a time on rare occasions for the past two years. It will now undergo a thorough overhauling at the hands of Superintendent Weicher, and will be used to continue experiments on the dump of the Caledonia mine.
This dump is of great size, and is reputed to be of exceptional richness. At any rate, the owners have for years consistently refused to lease it, and some of the most expert dump pickers in the camp have tried to get a lease on it.
The mill is located on the banks of the stream of Cripple Creek, less than half a mile from the mine, and with an excellent road connecting them. The location is an excellent one, either for the purpose of conducting experiments, or for enlarging the mill for the extensive treatment of ore, if such a step be found desirable.
The Caledonia company was represented by Superintendent Weicher, while the Gold Geyser Mining and Milling company was represented by President C. C. Chapin.
The company is a Chicago concern, while the Caledonia is owned in London.

To Whom It May Concern.
Notice is hereby given that the Caladonia lode mining claim is now being worked and developed under bond and lease to E. E. Miller, bearing date the 27th day of November, 1895, expiring on the 27th day of May 1896.
All persons furnishing work or labor or furnishing materials for any work of development upon said Caladonia lode are further notified that they perform such work furnish such materials and supplies and wholly at their own risk and that the owner, W.S. Stratton, will not be responsible for the same.

CALEDONIA TO RESUME.
It is rumored that the Caledonia mine will resume operations. The property was drowned out by water sometime ago and since then nothing has been done. A big pumping plant was installed but did not prove to be large enough to handle the great volume of water. At the time the water commenced to come in, a big vein of good ore was encountered.

Development by the Dig Gold Co. on the Caledonia spur of Gold hill at the 375-ft. level is reported to have opened a strong vein of low-grade ore which is improving as the drift nears the Gold Bond vein-system.

The Caledonia on the southern spur of Gold hill, formerly owned by the late W. S. Stratton and sold by him to a London syndicate, and now owned by R. E. Dolan, of Mineral, Virginia, is again to become active under lease.
The mine produced about $200,000 from shallow workings, before its sale to the Britishers, but never paid expenses while under the English management.

The Caledonia adjoining the Alpha and Omega mine, who has ore sampling $80 to $150 gold with some silver, on the southern slope of Gold hill, is now owned by a Denver man named Doran after it was sold for taxes and debts on the British syndicate that purchased it from the late W.S. Stratton.

(From Colorado Telegraph.)
The Monarch Development and Leasing company has surrendered its lease on the Caledonia, which it has been working for the past fifteen months.

Denver, Oct. 29—Sir Henry Seton-Karr and Ernest Foster, as trustees of the Caledonia Gold Mining Company, Ltd., have commenced suit in the United States circuit court to recover $15,000 damages and also possession of the Caledonia mine from Frank Boach, of Los Angeles, who paid taxes on it for six years, and obtained the property under tax title, and then leased it to local parties.
The mine was formerly owned by W. S. Stratton, and leased to the late J. Maurice Finn, who cleaned up about $50,000 from it in 1894-5. It has not produced pay ore since.
The mine is on a low spur of Gold hill, near Mound City, below Cripple Creek town.
