Blue Bird Looking WonderfulThe Blue Bird Reveling in Richness
The Blue Bird on the south slope of Bull hill is a wonderful proposition and has been developed in a wonderful manner by lessees Burdick and Nelson, who began work there last June without a dollar.
Their lease is known as the Last Dime for the reason that they risked their last piece of silver in taking hold of the property. The main working shaft is now only 90 feet deep, and after the first twenty feet was reached the mine has been a constant shipper of high grade ore.
The first assay from the hole almost paralyzed the poor lessees when they found it reached the high mark of 36 ounces to the ton.
The second is about 150 feet from the main shaft, and yesterday at a depth of 60 feet they were just striking into the main vein and something good was being looked for at every shot.
In the main shaft yesterday a five inch streak of sticky tale was broke into. The value had not been tested but it was thought to be exceptionally rich.
Fifty tons of ore were shipped the first of the week, and twenty tons have been taken out since. The mine is equipped with a substantial shaft house and run with the best of machinery.

Blue Bird Shipping Highgrade From 1350 Feet From its 1350 foot level, the Bluebird mine is shipping ore, a good part of which runs $300 to the ton. The limit to which the ore extends is well known, but the fact remains at the greatest depth attained, the value remains continuous, with nothing to indicate any change of character.

2Info Title:
Depths of 1200 Feet or More Reached and Values Kept Up When the United States geological survey of the Cripple Creek district was made in 1894, the deepest shaft in the district did not exceed 350 feet.
That the report of the survey did not attempt to cover a greater depth, an idea gained prevalence in some quarters that the value would be found only in the surface workings. This feeling has been wholly controverted by the large shipments of high grade ore which are now being made from the deepest workings.
On the War Eagle, Hull City Placer, Bluebird, Stratton's Independence and other properties, shafts have reached a depth of 1200 feet and more. The greatest depth so far reached is about 1500 feet.

Large bodies of low-grade ores are exposed in the workings.
Although the shaft has been sunk to a depth of 1,350 ft., the presence of foul gases in the lower workings prevents work below the 800 level. It is probable, however, that ventilation will be attempted by crosscutting to adjacent properties. Were continuous operations possible, production would be heavy.

10Info Title:
Blue Bird Doing Good Due to Connection with Portland No.3 Shaft Continuity of Cripple Creek ore bodies to a great depth has again been conclusively demonstrated by recent developments at the Blue Bird mine on Bull hill.
The operations on the Blue Bird were made possible by carrying a long crosscut from the bottom level to connect with the 1,200-foot level of the Portland company's No. 3 shaft, on Battle mountain. This work was carried out with great difficulty and danger by reason of four air, but once the connection was made, the ventilation of the mine was made perfect, and not only has ore been opened at the 1,500-foot level, but a winze sunk 50 feet deeper is in ore of high average value.

Blue Bird is Productive for Its Leasers The Humphreys-Thompson leasing syndicate, operating the Blue Bird mine, on Bull hill, is making production of between 35 and 40 tons a day, the ore averaging $20 a ton.
Five sets of sub-lessees are at work in the upper levels and all are producing. The mine is owned by the Blue Bird Co.
The leasing company is operating the lower levels and is also exploiting the Trail group, adjoining the Blue Bird, owned by the United Gold Mines Co., by long crosscut, carried out from the seventeenth level of the Blue Bird main shaft, at an approximate depth of 1,350 ft. from the surface.
Both mineralized dikes and well-defined veins have been encountered in the prosecution of the work, and prospects for exposure of permanent ore bodies are considered excellent.
