Owns the Solitaire, about 5 acres, in the N. E. 1-4 of section 30, on Raven hill and Battle mountain; the Roudebush, the Hayward, the Eldredge, the Pinto, about 30 acres in all, situated in the S. E. 1-4 of section 12, about 1,000 feet from the Gold King mine, on Carbonate hill. The company also owns the Elkhorn, adjoining the above property, on Carbonate hill, and a three-fourths interest in the Comstock, 10 acres, on Raven hill. All the above property is patented.
The greater part of the development work is being done on the Elkhorn claim, which has a shaft 450 feet deep and considerable drifting and stoping. The company holds, by lease, the Columbia, owned by the Cripple Creek Columbia G. M. Company.
The Elkhorn is a shipping mine and has produced some very rich ore, running from 5 to 20 ounces. There are now a number of applications for leases which are under consideration and will soon be granted. The Elkhorn promises to be a good mine.
