The Little May Mining Company. Incorporated November 14 , 1892.
Owns Little May No. 1 lode, and 6-10 of Little Blanche No. 1 lode, containing 13 1-3 acres, in the S. W. 1-4 section 21, on Bull hill, Cripple Creek district, adjoining the Victor mine. All patented.
Improvements consist of shaft house and plant of machinery. On the Little May there is one incline shaft 275 feet deep. Shaft on Little Blanche 65 feet deep.
The Victor vein has been developed to the northeast corner of Little Blanche. The shaft on the Little May is sunk on the continuation of this vein, but more depth seems necessary to find the ore shoot. Quantities of low grade ore exist in the present workings and probably could be made to pay with a mill.
