Notes:

Denver.—Lessees working the International Gold King on Gold hill have exposed a 2-foot vein, an entirely new one that carries over 7 ounces to the ton.

Denver.—E. B. Meck and associates, working the International Gold King on Gold hill, have at a depth of 200 ft. opened a 3-ft. shoot that gives better than 2 ounces all the way across. It carries a 2-in. seam that runs up to $112 per ton.
The lessees have installed a new machinery plant.

Three sets of lessees, operating through the Good Will tunnel on the properties of the Fair Chance and Progress Gold Mining Co., have found ore, and shipments will soon be made.
W. H. Klotz and C. B. Clough are leasing on the Ellen McGregor and extracting ore from a vein 2½ ft. wide.
Farther to the east, at about 1500 ft from the portal, S. J. Schenck is leasing on part of the Gold King, owned by the Progress Gold Mining Co. Strong veins of low-grade ore occur, and the lessees expect to be able to stope this above the adit level and ship it at a profit.

The middle block of the Gold Hill claim of the Savage Gold & Copper Mining Co. has been leased to the Success Leasing Co., and the main shaft will be unwatered and re-timbered.

The C. K. & N. shaft, which is over 800 ft. deep, has been completely drained through the C. K. & N. water course. The Mary McKinney, Index and Gold King have been especially benefited by this.
