The Prospector And Thunder Mountain News March 25, 1905
Mining News

Dorsey, Milmore and Rowe were awarded the contract of 200 feet on the Blue Point
Tunnel for the 20th Century Mining & Power Company.

The H. Y. -Climax Co. commenced Tuesday to drive a tunnel on the Polo Duro claim
above the Lightning Peak Trail. Superintendent Whitlock says the operations on the
mine will soon proceed in earnest. Just what the development work will be has not
yet been decided.

At the Sunnyside. Supt. Abbott finds considerable work attached to getting the
tramway re adjusted and put into conditions for carrying the ore to the mill. This
will cause no particular delay however. Mr. Abbott like every one else in town is
much pleased to learn that the crusher is so near the camp. It will arrive in a few
days.

Robert Skinner, H. A. Hummell and Geo Swayne are feeling much elated over the
outlook on their property which lies at the head of Three Mile creek on the
Cottonwood side. After running through a conglomerate 27 feet they struck a body of
ore which pans freely. The say it resembles ore found at both the Standard and Dewey
mines.
