WEEKLY SHIPMENTS

—————————

Some of the Ore Sent Out From Cripple's Mines.

Gold Coin is now producing at the rate of about 125 tons per day. Actual shipments have been cut down about 500 tons during the past week, owing to the inability of the railroads to haul the ore. The delay has been caused by the moving of the warehouse across the track of the Coin switch. Production has been going on steadily, however, and a large quantity of ore is being saved.

Gold Coin Rebuilding After Fire
REMOVING DEBRIS.

—————————

Gold Coin Shaft House to be Rebuilt at Once.

The work of undoing what the disastrous fire had done to the Gold Coin workings and shaft building is progressing rapidly. The timbers in the shaft were found to have been burned out for a depth of 200 feet. The stations at the first, second and third levels were found full of dirt, cars, drills, pump columns, timbers, etc., and presented a sorry spectacle.

The first level has been cleaned out and the men are at work cleaning up the second and third. The debris is being dumped into the old stopes.


There is now about 100 feet of water in the shaft, but no damage is being done by it. The miners obtain access to the workings through old No. 3 shaft. The work of retimbering the shaft from the surface has already commenced. A large force is at work on the surface clearing away the outer edges of the dump for the masonry.

The new shaft buildings are to consist of a steel gallows frame and a brick and steel shaft house.

Gold Coin Miners Locked Out
GOLD COIN MINERS LOCKED OUT

————————————

Denver, Oct. 1.—A Republican special from Cripple Creek last night says:

This afternoon the miners employed by the Woods Investment Company at the Gold Coin mine were called to assemble at the collar of the shaft, and there General Manager Frank M. Woods addressed them briefly, telling them that his company would no longer put up with the domination of the Western Federation of Miners, and that the company had decided to close its properties.

He added that they would be reopened in the morning and that all old employes who wished to could return to work, provided they renounced allegiance to the Federation.

Superintendent Symes, who has been in charge of the Gold Coin mine for more than two years and has been in the employ of the Woods people since 1896, will go out with the men. E. H. Beebee, superintendent of the Wild Horse mine, will step into his place.

The Woods company has been operating with reduced forces since the strike was declared in the district. Only seventy-five men were working on the Gold Coin. It has been one of the largest employers of labor, both in and out of the mines, in the district, and has favored the union to the extent that only miners in good standing in the unions could obtain employment.

Hereafter only non-union men will be employed. When working all its properties full force, the company gives employment to nearly 500 men. As a precautionary measure, General Chase to-night has distributed guards at the Gold Coin, the Deadwood, the Wild Horse on Bull hill, the Economic mill, the damsite and as far east as the power house at Skagway.

All these properties are controlled by the Woods Investment Company.

Commander Removes Troops
Denver, Dec. 16.—A Republican special from Cripple Creek last night says:

All troops which have been stationed at the Gold Coin mine were withdrawn to-day by order of Colonel Verdeckberg, the commander of the National Guard in this district. It is believed by the military commander and his advisers that the conditions no longer require military protection. The non-union men working can fully protect themselves and have so declared themselves.

The move is a significant one, indicating the confidence the military authorities have in the situation.

Gold Coin Mine Sold
Denver, Dec. 1—The property of the Gold Coin Mining & Leasing Co., at Cripple Creek, has been transferred to the Granite Gold Mining Co., whose property adjoins it on the north.

The Granite Co. is a close corporation controlled by prominent parties at Colorado Springs, among them Tutt & Penrose and Charles M. McNeill, and has been a heavy shipper for some time.

The plan is to work the Granite mine after this, through the Gold Coin shaft, from the 900-ft. level. It is not possible to state the price at which the sale was made, but as the plant of the Gold Coin mine alone represents an original outlay of about $200,000, a large amount is involved.

It is generally understood that the mill of the Economic Gold Extraction Co., situated at the mouth of the tunnel, through which the Gold Coin property has been partly operated, is not included in the sale.

Gold Coin Circular With Dividend and Why Sale Info
Cripple Creek, Dec. 9—Operations in mining circles have been quite brisk during the past week.

A circular has been issued to the stockholders of the Gold Coin enclosing a dividend derived from the sale of a part of the Gold Coin property to the Granite Gold Mining Co. This dividend was for 10c. per share.

The property sold included that part of the mine on which the main shaft of the Gold Coin is situated. The circular stated that the reasons for the sale were that the heavy indebtedness of the company could be raised and that there was a large area of good property still left.

For some time past the Granite Co. has been working a part of its property through the Coin shaft.

Unwatering the Gold Coin.

The operation of uncovering the pump on the 1,000-ft. level of the Gold Coin shaft of the Granite company has not, as yet, been successful. Various mishaps have attended the use of the bailer in lowering the water; at one time the guides in the shaft were torn up for several hundred feet, necessitating repairs. It is doubtful whether the size of the pump and water-column is sufficiently great to undertake the draining of the Battle Mtn. properties, as suggested, through the Gold Coin shaft.
