W. 33. Lowe tks "Bee Hive THE MINES. FOBTLiMP, OF CHlrn CUKK1, At matter of inteimt to Ilinck Hill, who own baret in th above oompany, the Inn publishes the following from the Cripple Creek Mail of March 21: "k-exander F.

Maokey, on bebalf of himself and the smaller stockholders of the Portland mine, filed a soit in the district ooort Saturday again! James F. Burns. James Doyle, John Harman and W. 8. Strattoo, obarging them with, invito diverted the dividends of the min away from himself and associates, and having absorbed etook illegally in order kaoooaiplih that end.

The ooort it asksd to order the re-tarn of the abeorbed etoek to the treasury, and the making good to the stock holders at large of thi dividends drawn by Barns and othera on the stock. It is oharged that in pril last Messrs. Hums and others made a pretended parobase of 704,000 aharea of Portland treasury stook and transferred it to themselves, the etook being oonsigned in trnst to C. J. Steele, who shortly afterward transferred it to Barns and othera.

This large number of "harea the oomplainant values at and seta forth that 1176,000 in dividends have been paid opon it. Maokey says that in November be made applies tion to the board for an accounting, and asked that steps be taken to reoover the stook into the treasury. Tbt board, bow-ever, refnsed to aot. In February of this year Maokey made the same application to the stockholders and got the same reward for his pains. Farther dividends are now in contemplation, says Maokey, and he wishes matters straightened out before farther impairment of the fortunes of the stockholders is aosomplished.

OABDBH OITI CAMP. A large amount of development work is now under way in the above camp, situated on upper False Bottom oreek, about six miles west of town. On the old Hermit property a 200-foot tannel has been driven and is being carried forward. Several stringers of ore of good grade have been passed throagh during the progress of the work. The face of the tunnel it' now about 150 feet beneath the surface.

It is estimated that in the next 50 or 60 feet the rich ore shoots found in the Carroll and Harrison groups will encountered. Oa the Rainbow property work is being poshed. PTtKpeotiDg woik in one of the old tunnels, 75 feet inlenpth, revealed the faot that it bad been run parallel with a shoot of highly oxidized ore without any discovery of it being made. Jack Nolau, who has ohMgaot' th present op rations, started a eross'oaTirom this tan nel, and in about two feet struck the ore. The erosscut is now in about six feet, showing the shoot to be folly three feet thick and apparently of good grade.

Sol Barns and Jack Little are operating the Hermit, and are well pleased with the present indioatious. The Garden City ohlorination mill, recently leased by Emil Faust, president of the Moffit Mining and Milling company, is being thoroughly overhauled by practical machinists, and will be ready for oper ations in a few weeks. The Mcfflt oxidizing, fnrnaoe is being pat in and will be praotioally tested. The oompany will also have in readiness tbe White Howell roaster now in the mill, so that in oase the Moffit furnace does not do the work expected tbe mill will oontinue in opera tion. Mr.

Faust has engaged Soren Jensen and George Riley to look after tbe ohemical and assaying department. Mr. Jensen has bad several years experience onder Mr. Bamberger and W. A.

Wuteor, chemiBts at tbe Golden Reward mill, and has shown ability in his chosen profession. Mr. Riley is a graduate of the State Sohool of Mines, and for many years past has proven himself to be a praotioal and competent sseayer. Faust realizes the situation that in order to make the enterprise a success, praotioal and oompe tent men mast be in oharge. There is an ample supply of ore now in sight in the osmp to keep the mill in continuous operation.

TBI MIW B10BL4IB TUNtfBL. Call: "Several months ago work was commenced upon a tramway tannel from the Highland boist to the Star hoist, where it connects with a tramway at the Star and thenoe to the Highland mill. Work was commenced opon both ends of the tunnel and poshed as rapidly as pos sible. Saturday morning the crews working upon both ends met about 600 feet from the Star hoist. The crews met upon a carve and the connection was perfect.

Surveyor Moody and his assistant, M. J. Mullen, laid oat tbe plana and tbe work shows that they are surveyors not excelled In any country. It is quite easy to make an underground connection upon a straight line, bnt it requires great skill to make a perfect connection npon a curve. Tbe tunnel is 9x9 and timbered through out.

Cars will be running through it, baoling rock from the Highland boist to the Highland mill, on or about April 1. The tannel is a modal of workmanship and engineering skill and is 1,700 feet in length. TBI 8T4SCHIOB OBODP Of claims, situated on Two Bit divide. adjoining the Golden Crest mine, a balf interest in which was. purchased last Tuesday by Dr.

Fred Gantz, oor well known dentist, and I. C. Gregory, are proving to be of greater value than anticipated.

Tbe vein matter exists in fissure 12 inches wide between walls of porphyry and what appears to be a granite; the latter was considered to ba too wall, of tba vein.

get returns of f32 gold per ton. What is called the vein is a conglomerate of quartz and iron carbonate and assays J.w gold per ton. In sinking the 20 foot shaft considerable of the so called granite was removed and thrown aside as waste. As soon as the wea'her will permit the owners will put men at work and fully develop the ground. MUOOXTS.

The ore is a bluish white quartz, alive with native and silver sulphides called nugget sil ver at tbe oamp where found. Tbe ledge is sail to be 30 feet wide, a true fissure. between well defined walls.

Values ranoe from 75 to 1600 ounces silver per ton. Tbe owners of the Golden Crown mine have been obliged to temporarily tuspend operations on their shaft owing to trouble from water.
