Blue Flag Tunnel to Moffat Tunnel Connection
John W. Sheafer, Judge of the District Court, this week denied the application of L. T. Gray, claiming interest in the Moffat tunnel property, for a writ of injunction to prevent connection with the tunnel from the Blue Flag mine workings.
The War Eagle Consolidated Mines Co., the Blue Flag Gold Mining Co., the Moffat Tunnel & Transportation Co., and Hildreth Frost, attorney of this city {Cripple Creek], were named as defendants.
It was alleged in the complaint that damage would result "through the filling of the tunnel with bad air" if connection were permitted.
The War Eagle company is cross-cutting from its 1200-ft. level of the Blue Flag shaft on Raven hill to connect with the tunnel, in accordance with a contract with the Blue Flag Gold Mining Co., of which corporation Tully Scott of the Supreme Court of Colorado is president.
With connection made, ventilation will be afforded to the Blue Flag and War Eagle mines as well as to the tunnel.

Blue Flag Happenings
Ore assaying about 1,25 oz. gold and 12 to 15 oz. silver per ton has been opened up on the 1200-ft. level of the Blue Flag by the War Eagle Consolidated company.
The Blue Flag company is driving to connect with the Moffat or Ophelia tunnel, and thence through the War Eagle property to a point under the Scott or main shaft.
Work in the Blue Flag lateral is done under air-pressure on account of the presence of mine-gases, and except for the ore taken out in drifting no attention will be paid to mining until the connections are completed.
Tulley Scott, judge of the Colorado Supreme Court, is president of the War Eagle company.

A station is being cut at the 1400-ft. level of the main shaft of the Blue Flag Gold Mining Co. on Raven hill, and with the work completed a contract will be let to exploit the territory to the south and east, toward the Cresson mine.
A second cross-cut will be driven north-west under the orebody opened up at the 1200 ft. level on which development ceased when sinking was started about two years ago.
Other exploratory work will be done in the upper levels.

War Eagle Ore in Cross-Cut Towards Moffat Tunnel
The cross-cut from the 1200-ft. level carried from the Blue Flag to the Moffat tunnel for air-connection on the War Eagle property to the north, has passed through ore for a distance of 70 ft.
The vein is reported as being two feet wide and samples taken by the War Eagle Consolidated company gave returns of $24 in gold and 13 oz. silver per ton.
No work will be done on this vein until the tunnel connection is made and ventilation obtained.

Blue Flag Workings Draft Well with Moffat Tunnel
T.R. Countryman, consulting engineer to the War Eagle Consolidated Mines Co., in reporting connection made on April 2 from the Blue Flag workings with the Moffat tunnel, stated that the "ventilation was thorough".
The entire tunnel and Blue Flag workings are completely ventilated with pure, fresh, cool air. The draft is so strong that a carbide-lamp cannot be kept alight in the drift.
The engineer further reports a streak of black sulphide in the east wall, more than six inches thick asssaying $25 in gold, with a width next to it of one foot assaying $19.40. This is in addition to 20 in. of ore opened in the drift.

Blue Flag Continues Development
The Blue Flag Gold Mining Co., now that the contract for connection with the Moffat tunnel is completed, will continue development of its Raven Hill properties lying north-west of the Cresson mine.
Carpenters are at work framing mine-timbers and the head-frame is to be raised. New cables have been delivered and the skip and other equipment are on the way from Denver.
The bottom level of the Blue Flag is now 1417 ft. deep, with elevation at the collar of the shaft 9019 ft.
On the 12th level, east, a good formation has been entered, with some gold content.
In the south drift the ore is of milling grade, with conditions improving with each round.
Crosscutting and drifting is to be continued at both the 12th and 14th levels until orebodies known to exist east and west of the main shaft are cut.

Blue Flag Happenings
Drifting east toward the Cresson, the Blue Flag Gold Mining Co. is prospecting toward the Cresson with promise of soon entering a richer zone. The vein as now broken is a low-grade mill product.
The Blue Flag is equipped with a milling plant not in operation at this time. Owing to poor ventilation during the recent heavy snow storms, work in the 1400 and 1200-ft. levels has been temporarily discontinued and is confined to the 800-ft. level.

Blue Flag to Connect with the Ophelia
Development was commenced August 1 from the Blue Flag Gold Mining Co.'s main shaft, to connect with the Ophelia or Moffat tunnel, at a depth of 1150 ft.
Thence the drift on the Happy Year vein will be carried north to a point directly under the Scott shaft of the War Eagle Consolidated Mines Co., and connection made therewith by raise. The Scott shaft is 550 ft. deep.
This work will be done under a contract between the Blue Flag company and the War Eagle Consolidated company, which now controls the Moffat tunnel.
With ventilation perfected through the two shaft connections, the Moffat tunnel will become a public utility and will be used for transportation and operating purposes by mining companies, mine owners, or their lessees, on properties along the line of the tunnel.
