52 KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 



The lode is called the N. W. H. Jr., and is owned by Andrews & Savage. 

 There is a crevice eight feet wide, with twenty-seven inches of Galena ore. 

 There is a tunnel on the vein fifty feet in length. In running this tunnel the 

 owners have crossed a streak of gold, imbedded in the galena. The streak was 

 half an inch in thickness, and Mr Scott, who gives us the item, says that the 

 owners have taken out a cigar box full of almost pure gold. This mine is located 

 about six miles from Ophir. 



The Smuggler Lode. — This lode is also located on Marshall Creek, and 

 is owned by Osburn & Ingraham. This mine has a four foot crevice and a 

 pay streak of twelve inches of galena and gray copper. They have $12,000 

 worth of ore on the dump. 



There have been three pack train loads of ore shipped from the Nevada lode 

 to Ouray this spring. 



The Eureka Mining Co. — The Eureka Mining Company of Wyandotte, 

 Kansas, owns three good mines near Eureka, in this county. The property is 

 very desirably located for working, being only half a mile from the Reduction 

 Works of Winspear & Co., at Eureka. The property was located by Mr. Peters 

 some four years ago, and is among the best in that rich camp. The names of the 

 lodes are the Daisy, Little Maud and Paymaster. The Daisy carries some very 

 rich mineral, assays made by Cady & Olmstead, of Kansas City, giving 884 

 ounces of silver to the ton of ore. The company also owns a valuable mill site 

 and water power, only one-fourth of a mile from Eureka. Dr. W. C. Hamilton, 

 of Topeka, Kansas, is secretary of the company, and Fred C. White and N. Mc- 

 Alpine, of Kansas City, are large stockholders, and we understand the company 

 will commence work in a few weeks upon their property and will push its 

 development this summer. They have splendid property, and we are satisfied 

 they will meet with success. — La Plata Miner. 



The Alaska Consolidated. — Within the last sixty days a most important 

 mining transaction, to the San Juan country, has been closed. At the head of 

 Poughkeepsie gulch, which is partly in the San Juan and partly in Ouray county, 

 are a number of mines which have attracted marked attention from the richness 

 of the ore produced and the ease of working. The discoverers were not able 

 to expend the capital necessary to develop them, and last season some eastern 

 parties, principally residents of Cleveland, Ohio, secured a bond on the property, 

 organized the Alaska Consolidated Mining company, and quietly awaited develop- 

 ments. Previously however, four practical miners, Messrs. B-nnie, Renfro, 

 McElroy and McCormick, secured a lease on a royalty from November, 1878, to 

 June, 1879. They went to work in November, with a slender capital, but in 

 eight days had taken out enough ore to buy a stock of tools, provisions, powder 

 and steel to last them through the winter. At the last report their ore on the 

 dump, three-quarters of product, was worth $15,000, and will probably, by June 

 1st, net them $20,000. This was done on the Adelphia alone ; the other lodes
