Info Title:
Free Coinage Strike
Quite a little stir has been created about the camp by the news of a good strike in the Free Coinage properties on Bull hill at Cripple Creek this week.
graphic for visual presentation of text The strike was made at a depth of 28 feet, and the ore is quite similar to that in the Pharmacist mine, near by. Three assays made of the ore each gave returns of about 21 ounces to the ton.
graphic for visual presentation of text The owners of the property have ordered hoisting machinery, etc., and will soon have the property in shape for shipping ore.
graphic for visual presentation of text While this is a stock company it is one of the few companies that were formed for mining and not for stock speculation, and not a share of the stock is offered for sale, the men who are connected with it being satisfied to make their money from the proceeds of the mines.

Info Title:
The Pinto Leasing Co. Works Pinto Good
Victor Record writes; Pinto—On the Pinto, at both the 250 and 450-foot levels ore is being broken. A streak of the quartz is very high grade sylvanite that runs in carload lots as high as $700 per ton. The chute at the 450-foot or bottom level was entered a few days ago, and the grade of ore warrants the prediction that The Pinto Leasing Company will soon enter the list of regular dividend payers.

Altman Leasing Co. Has Leased Free Coinage Below 500-Ft for 5-Years
DENVER, COLORADO—A syndicate of Boston capitalists has taken a five-year lease on the property of the Free Coinage Co., of Cripple Creek, to operate that property below the 550-ft. level. The property consists of the Pinto, Rising Sun, Wilson, Bison No. 2, and Pueblo claims, forming a compact group on Bull Hill.
graphic for visual presentation of text These have been recently examined by Forbes Rickard, of Denver, who will act as the consulting engineer for the new company, called the Altman Leasing Co. Sixteen sets of lessees are now working on the mine above the 550-ft. level, and these operations will not interfere in any way with the operations of the new company on the lower levels.
graphic for visual presentation of text Operations under control of the Altman L. Co. are to commence immediately on the Pinto claim, and the shaft, which is now 575 ft. deep, is to be sunk to 1000 ft. No lateral work will be done until a depth of 800 ft. is reached. A new hoisting plant will be erected in place of the old equipment now on the property.
graphic for visual presentation of text The production of the Free Coinage to date is over $2,000,000 from above the 550-ft. level, and a heavy production is expected from the lower workings.

Info Title:
Altman Leasing Co. and the Free Coinage Mine
DENVER, COLORADO—Leases in general admit of much variety in point of terms and conditions specified, but it is uncommon to find one which reserves the upper part of an extensive claim-group and gives to lessees the right to mine below their lowest level.
graphic for visual presentation of text Such an undertaking has been made the basis of a five-year lease recently given to the Altman Leasing Co. by the Free Coinage Gold Mining Co. on their 30-acre tract, beginning from the horizon of the 550-ft. level of the Pinto shaft, downward to any depth to which the lessees can carry operations within the time-limit.
graphic for visual presentation of text This is conditioned upon sinking the main shaft several hundred feet deeper. It is a good example and a practical expression of confidence in development of ground that is central to some of the richest parts of the Cripple Creek district, lying, as it does, between the Isabella mine and Vindicator groups on Bull Hill, about the town of Altman.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Free Coinage Gold Mining Co.'s property includes the vein-systems of the Pinto-Pharmacist, Wilson, Pinto-Bison, and Pueblo mines, and is among the successful companies of the early days of Cripple Creek; it is now being actively worked at several levels, all under the leasing system.
graphic for visual presentation of text Since 1894 this group has produced from 1¾ to 2 millions of dollars, from workings that are superficial as compared with those of its neighbors. Among the latter are the Isabella and Findley, which reach depths of 1100 and 1400 ft. below the collars of their respective shafts.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Altman Leasing Co. is installing a powerful Vulcan geared hoist, of capacity to reach to a depth of 1500 ft., which will take the burden from the present equipment before it reaches its limit. Combining the features of large acreage with its location in the midst of the most productive mines of a rich section, there is probably not a similar mineral tract in the district that can be leased in a compact group.
graphic for visual presentation of text In addition to the main 'deeps' lease, this leasing company has two blocks above the 550-ft. level, in one of which high-grade ore has been discovered through prospecting upon the Black dike of the Bison claim, which corresponds with the Isabella dike of the Government report upon the mines of this portion of Bull Hill.
graphic for visual presentation of text Air for machine-drills is taken from the Union Leasing Co. from the plant at Deadwood. At first a small force is being employed in shaft-sinking and in prospecting. Extensive drifts and cross-cuts make available to stoping much promising ground, without costly outlay in dead-work. The management is enthusiastic over the prospect of early shipments.
graphic for visual presentation of text The new company is organized under the laws of Colorado, with a capital stock of $100,000. The principal office will be maintained in Cripple Creek. Geo. R. Woodin, of Boston, is the moving spirit of the enterprise.
