GOLD CUP MINE 
PROPOSITION IN WuicH Many Man- 
CHESTER PEopLE Have INVESTED 
BeEGINS TO PROMISE RESULTS 
H. K. Dean, manager and treasurer 
of the Gold Cup Mining Co. of Colo- 
rado, was the week-end guest of 
Howard LL. Winchester of Manches- 
ter, who is president of the company. 
Mr. Dean is east on business in con- 
nection with the mine. He brings 
encouraging news to the many Man- 
chester people who are stockholders 
in the company. 
Development work has progressed 
rapidly in the past two months in spite 
of the cold weather in the Gilpin 
County district where the mine is lo- 
cated. Commenting on the discover- 
ies of the past few weeks, Mr. Dean 
said, “It is no longer a gamble to me 
whether we have anything there. The 
only gamble there appears to be is 
how much we have. Work on the 
winze or main shaft on the west end 
of the property has progressed to a 
depth of over 200 feet. <A _ station 
was cut in at the 165-foot depth, and 
crifts started both east and west on 
the vein, good ore showing in both 
directions. In the shaft proper there 
is _a showing of ore that improves 
with every blast, and all indications 
point to the truth of the engineer’s 
predictions that the main body or 
mother lode of ore will be uncovered 
within the next 50 to 75 feet. The 
porphyry dike that intersects the 
property will be struck at or before 
the 300-foot depth, which should un- 
cover a large and continuous body of 
ore. When one stops to figure that 
a body of smelting ore such as is 
known to be in the Gold Cup, only 
six inches in width, 50 feet long and 
So feet deep, together with the con- 
centrating ore, will net over $40,000 
at present prices for minerals, it can 
be readily appreciated what the Gold 
‘Cup can produce when these known 
bodies of ore are reached. From 
present estimates, the ore bodies in 
this end of the property should be 
opened up and in shape to make reg- 
ular shipments inside of the next six 
months. 
“When the winze shaft has been 
sunk to a depth of 400 feet, the inten- 
tions are to run a drift at this level 
on the vein west for a distance of 450 
feet, which will open up our Key- 
stone vein at a depth of 550 feet from 
the surface, where rich quartz gold 
ore is known to exist. Some years 
ago a small pocket of ore on the sur- 
face of this claim produced over 
$250,000 in gold alone, the average 
running over 20 ounces to the ton. 
The continuation of this vein, accord- 
ing to the reports of the several engi-

neers who have examined the prop- 
erty, should be found with depth, and 
it is the intention of the management 
to work in this direction as soon as 
the winze shaft has been sunk to the 
400-foot depth. 
“Work on the east end of the prop- 
erty is also progressing very favor- 
ably, the Buckeye shaft now being 
down to a depth of roo feet, and will 
at once be sunk another 100 feet to 
open up the ore that is now showing 
in the east drift for the entire dis- 
tance of the 135 feet that it has been 
run. Good ore has been taken out of 
this shaft during the development 
work thus far, the last shipment 
showing ore that netted over $100 
per ton and brought a check for 
nearly $1400. <As_ shipments are 
merely incidental to the work now 
being carried on, regular shipments 
are not looked for within the next 
few months.” 
The Boston Copper News of last 
Saturday says of Gold Cup, “The 
Gold Cup is one of the cleanest min- 
ing propositions now before the pub- 
lic, and is open to any and all inves- 
tigation.”

NEWS-STAND PRICE OF BREEZE WILL 
ADVANCE May 1I—SUBSCRIBE 
Now AND SAVE Money. 
As announced last week, beginning 
May 1, the price of the BREEzE, at 
news-stands, will be advanced to 10 
cents a copy for the six-month period, 
May to October, inclusive, at least, 
and possibly after that. Readers of 
the Breeze should not misunderstand 
this statement: It is the news-stand 
price of the BreEze that advances 
and not the subscription price. Sub- 
scription (paid in advance in accord- 
ance with the postal requirements) 
will continue at the old rate of $2 a 
year, and $1 for six months. 
This radical change is made im- 
perative because of the unusual ad- 
_ vance in the price of paper. 
We would urge upon those of our 
readers who are not regular subscrib- 
ers, to place their order for the 
BREEZE so that it may be mailed them 
regularly every Friday morning. The 
subscription rate figures only 4c a 
copy, as compared with 1oc, which 
will be the news-stand price everyone 
not a subscriber will have to pay af- 
ter this month. 
Not every mistake you make is 
found out, but don’t make them just 
to see if anybody will locate your 
error.
