The Hull City mine is owned by the Independence Consolidated Mining Company, and consists of an almost square area of 39 acres, except £or two claims of Vindicator property which project into it from the southeast. The total production approaches $2,000,000, of which $900,193 was extracted up to the end of 1899 and $999,174 during the three years from January 1, 1901 to January 1, 1904. During 1904 the mine was worked on a smaller scale by lessees.

The developments consist of a main vertical shaft 1,265 feet deep, with eleven levels turned. The elevation of the collar is 10,279 feet. The levels are somewhat irregularly placed. Level 11 has an elevation of 9,029 feet. Six hundred feet to the southeast, near the southern boundary, is the King or Vaughn shaft, also known as the Glorieta, with a collar elevation of 10,204 feet and a depth of 860 feet. This has twelve levels, the upper ones being close together; level 4 corresponds about to main level 1, and level 12 to main level 8. There are also many small shafts less than 400 feet in depth. The developments have a total length of several miles. On level 11 the crosscut has not yet reached the vein. In April, 1904, water stood 1,055 feet below the collar, and the two lowest levels were inaccessible.
