Info Title:
Blue Bell Info
Dr. A. J. Lanterman, having resided in Leadville and at Buena Vista for the past fourteen years, and being everywhere, is recognized as a person of the highest integrity. Since November last, he has spent more than half of his time in the Cripple Creek district and is doubtless second to none in possession of information concerning its resources. He has watched the progress of events with painstaking interest from the beginning, and his simple relation of them constitutes a pretty succinct history of the camp.

graphic for visual presentation of text "I know but little about the Blue Bell; the Blue Bell vein is from six to fifteen inches, and it is a true fissure vein with granite walls. The other true fissure vein I know of is located in the Washington. In all the other claims I have seen, they all have walls of porphyry.
graphic for visual presentation of text I am not a geologist or a mineralogist, although engaged in mining for many years. I am not, therefore, bold enough to entertain a theory of the formation of this district. The generally accepted idea, however, is that the porphyry has been thrown out through the fissures in the granite, and the mineralized quartz has formed true fissures in the porphyry."

Ophelia or Smith-Moffat Tunnel to Start Up Again, with a lease on Blanche

graphic for visual presentation of textWHEN IT IS GRANTED IT IS GIVEN OUT THAT WORK ON THE SMITH-MOFFAT TUNNEL WILL BE RESUMED.
graphic for visual presentation of text--------------
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text D.H. Moffat intends to start the old tunnel, sometimes known as the Ophelia and at others as the Smith-Moffat, that enters Gold hill a short distance south of the city{Cripple Creek] limits.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Englishmen got sick of their bargain after putting up only a small amount of money, and the title to the ground has reverted to the original owner, or owners.
graphic for visual presentation of text Some people say that Mr. Moffat is the sole man in the enterprise, but others insist that Eben Smith is also interested in the bore.
graphic for visual presentation of text Be that as it may, that it is to start up again must be true, for the tunnel management that at one time had a lease on the Blanche, one of the properties of the Blue Bell company, have asked for a renewal of their option to work the claim, and while the lease has not been made out at this writing it will be within a day or two.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The tunnel has now entered the mountain a distance of some 2,400 feet and in Blanche ground it is known that a vein was cut, but before prospecting it work on the tunnel was suspended.
graphic for visual presentation of text That its prospective value must have been regarded favorably is evidenced by the fact that the lease that was held is to be renewed.
