Carr & Co. are sending out a shipment from the Gold Hill tunnel. The lease is on one of the blocks of the Midget Bonanza Gold Mining & Milling Co. on Gold hill.

Bonanza King—Lessee Allen and associates have struck an ore shoot three feet wide, carrying an average value of about $35 per ton. The vein is reached through the Gold Hill tunnel and has been opened up laterally for thirty feet.

VIEWING REAL WEALTH.

Party of Distinguished Maryland Capitalists In Camp.
—————————
A party of Maryland capitalists with their ladies, headed by J. M. Schryver, general passenger agent of the B. & O. railway, came into camp yesterday in Mr. Schriver's private car, "Maryland". They were accompanied from the Springs by General Passenger Agent Bailey of the Colorado Midland, and their purpose primarily was to inspect the Gold Hill tunnel, in which Mr. Schryver is interested.

This tunnel is used for drainage purposes by the Moon-Anchor and Anchoria-Leland mines. The party was conducted yesterday afternoon through the tunnel to the breast by Manager Fitzgerald, who disclosed some very promising veins to the eyes of the party under his charge. These veins are in the Anchoria-Leland's territory.

Mr. Bailey left the party at the close of the inspection and returned to the Springs. The roster of the party besides Mr. Schryver includes in its masculine contingent Hugh Sisson, Frank Hanlon, Howard Crook, James M. Heikle, J. Reese Pitcher, E. D. Cook and D. E. Evans.

Midget Bonanza—Carr & Co., lessees on a block of the ground owned by this company, are shipping good mill ore through the Gold Hill tunnel.

Baltimore capital is pushing the Gold Hill tunnel through which the deep workings of the Moon-Anchor are already emptied of water.

The Gold Hill Tunnel company yesterday let a contract for 200 feet of work.

Upon the occasion of the session of Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress, which meets in Cripple Creek July 16-19 inclusive, the mine owners will open the underground workings to the delegates.
The Gold Hill tunnel, the mouth of which is within the limits of the city of Cripple Creek, has been offered the committee and it is the plan to permit the freedom of the bore which penetrates Gold Hill 5000 feet, the breast of which is at the eighth level of the Anchoria-Leland.
At this point the cage of the mines will lift the delegates to the apex of the hill, from which a splendid view of Cripple Creek and the mountainous country is obtained.

The Gold Hill tunnel, which cuts the Anchoria-Leland mine at the eighth level has offered the delegates during the session of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress, during certain hours of the day the whole congress week, the freedom of the tunnel, and the Anchoria-Leland will arrange to take all guests from the tunnel over that property.
By entering the mouth of the tunnel in the city limits the delegates and their friends can penetrate Gold hill and come out at the entrance on the apex from the shaft house from which they can get a splendid view of Cripple Creek, which spreads out like a panorama in the bowl of the crater below.
The trip for the delegates can be made with perfect safety, the shafts on all the big producers being furnished with safety appliances. There will be no more danger attached to this trip than there would be in taking the elevator of a large hotel.

Gold Hill Tunnel.—This tunnel, near Cripple Creek, is not used much for mining, but some enterprising citizens have leased it, and large numbers of tourists that visit the district every year have the privilege of going through the tunnel on paying a small sum. The tunnel is about 3,000 ft. long, and connects with the Anchoria-Leland, also the Moon-Anchor and Midget.
