Info Title:
Columbine-Victor Tunnel Being Pushed East Through Squaw Mountain
THE COLUMBINE TUNNEL.
graphic for visual presentation of text——————
graphic for visual presentation of textOne of the Important Cripple Creek Enterprise.
graphic for visual presentation of text One of the most important tunnel enterprises in the Cripple Creek district, says the Mining Reporter, is the Columbine-Victor bore that is being pushed from the west side of Squaw mountain.
graphic for visual presentation of text The tunnel is now in about 1,800 feet, but when completed it will be nearly 5,000 feet in length and will connect with the Gold Coin mine, on the east side of Squaw mountain, within the town limits.
graphic for visual presentation of text The depth at which the tunnel will tap the mine will be about 120 feet.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The work of driving the tunnel has been prosecuted steadily by the Woods Investment Company, which is arranging to erect a mill on the west side of Squaw for the purpose of treating the low grade ores of the Gold Coin mine.
graphic for visual presentation of text The ore will be transported through the long tunnel to the new mill, where it will be treated and at a profit.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text There is little doubt that the Columbine-Victor tunnel has already cut a large body of pay ore at some point in the mountain. The erection of immense ore bins has been started.
graphic for visual presentation of text It does not seem reasonable to expect that they would be built at the west end of the tunnel in order to furnish storage room for Gold Coin ores, when more than 3,000 feet of the tunnel are still to be driven before it will reach the Gold Coin mine.
graphic for visual presentation of text Ground has also been cleared for the company's mill at the point named. The fact appears to be that another valuable shipper has been added to the list of gold mines in the south end of the district, and that Squaw mountain will again soon be numbered among the valuable mineral sections of the district.
