graphic for visual presentation of textLEGAL BATTLE NOW SHAPING
graphic for visual presentation of text—————————
graphic for visual presentation of textOne of the Biggest Fights in the History of Mining is Now To Take Place.
graphic for visual presentation of text—————————
graphic for visual presentation of text Colonel James Doyle has sold a controlling interest in his celebrated Uintah tunnel to the chief stockholders of the Woods Investment company, on a basis of $150,000, of which more than half was handed Mr. Doyle in cash.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text In connection with this transaction the Woods Investment people have also purchased the Trail group of mines, or a controlling interest thereof.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text This group is located on Battle mountain, extending from the saddle between Bull hill and Battle mountain, south over some of the richest territory in the whole camp. This was taken on a basis of $65,000 for the group, a great part of which was paid in cash.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The great tunnel will be known as the Uintah Tunnel and Mining company, and Colonel Doyle will remain as manager, but the officers of the Woods Investment company will form a majority of the directors, and it will be practically part of the Woods Investment company's holdings.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Work on the tunnel will now be pushed vigoreusly in two directions. First, drifting will immediately begin on a vein cut by the tunnel at a point 1,200 feet from the mouth. The vein is claimed to apex on the Viola, a claim of the Battle Mountain Consolidated company, another company in which the Woods people are the controlling spirits.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The other work outlined for the big tunnel is the cutting of the famous Necessity vein at the point where it crosses the Woods Investment company's holdings. This is the vein from which Colonel Doyle made such phenomenal shipments before the court enjoined him from working the vein, and which is expected to prove quite as rich as where cut by the tunnel bore. The Viola vein has been opened on the surface, and is said to have been found very promising. The cross-cut will tap it at a depth of 600 feet, and will doubtless find it much richer than at the surface.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The Trail group includes the Ironsides, Big Banta, Trail and Lost Fraction claims, amounting to thirty acres in all. One of the claims, the Big Banta, is held under lease by S. M. Perry, and it is thought to be the intention of the Woods people to buy his lease and gain immediate control of the whole property. It is understood that the Trail group will be added to the Battle Mountain Consolidated company's holdings.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text These changes in ownership have a very important bearing on the great legal battle which is impending on Battle mountain, and still further complicates an already tangled web. It means that the Woods Investment company, having back of it the Mount Rosa townsite of 140 acres, the wonderful Gold Coin mine, the Battle Mountain Consolidated company with 130 acres of rich mineral ground, and other rich holdings, will now take up the fight for the Uintah tunnel.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Opposed to it will be the famous Portland company, whose leaders are shrewd and experienced men in mining matters.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The Strong Gold Mining company, one of the richest in camp, is also interested, through the Necessity, recently purchased by L. D. Ross for Messrs. Lenox and others of the Strong company.
graphic for visual presentation of text Likewise, the Smith-Moffat syndicate comes in for a share of the trouble, by reason of its ownership of the Granite mine. The legal struggle will be a veritable battle of giants, and the whole mining world will watch the outcome with interest.

Trail Group Worked by Woods Investment Company
WOODS INVESTMENT COMPANY.
graphic for visual presentation of textRushing Work on Another Good Cripple Creek Property.
graphic for visual presentation of text More than ordinary importance is attached to the development on the Trail group of properties on Bull hill, owned by the Battle Mountain Consolidated company, which has been going ever since the acquisition of this property by the Woods Investment company.
graphic for visual presentation of text In the lower tunnel a large force of men has been employed, and the ore bodies have been opened for over 2,000 feet, this at depth of 300 feet. Large bodies of ore have been blocked out and held in reserve, owing to the dissatisfaction with local mills and a desire to treat this ore at the Economic mill, owned by the Woods Investment company, as soon as the mill was ready to receive ore.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Economic mill is now ready for business, and is running ore to its full capacity. The preliminary tests made last week were a pronounced success, and the mill will handle 350 tons of ore per day, the initial capacity of the mill.
graphic for visual presentation of text Stoping on these immense ore reserves will be commenced at once, and the rock, as broken, without sorting, will be sent to the mill.
graphic for visual presentation of text In a winze from the tunnel level at a depth of fifty feet there is remarkable showing. At this point the vein is six feet wide, and will average from one ounce to one-half ounces per ton, while a streak of sylvanite ore on the foot wall two feet wide assays as high as eighty to eighty-five ounces per ton.
graphic for visual presentation of text It is admitted by well-informed mining men that the Woods Investment company is numbered among the heaviest mining syndicates in the United States, but few of this class even fully appreciate the extent and magnitude of the mining operations of this successful corporation.
graphic for visual presentation of text During the month of November, 1,046 men were employed, and the total amount of the pay roll as shown by the company's records amounted to $64,388

Trail Lease Near Its End
The Anderson and Benkelman lease of the Trail mine of the United Gold Mines Co., one of the most profitable both to the operators and the owning company in the history of the district, has but four months to run, but it is estimated that although there remains 300 feet of crosscutting to tap the ore-shoot, the cost will be more than paid for in the first 30 days, thus leaving three months for profits even should no extension be secured.
graphic for visual presentation of text Anderson, Benkelman, Eby, and Orrison, partners in the lease, have all made fortunes from the ore sales, while the United Gold Mines Company has secured more than $110,000.
