THE ROBINSON MINE.
The basis for this wonderful growth Is the Rob-
inson mine and the smelling works now being built
here for tho treatment of its ores. Mr. Robinson
was a merchant in Leadville. an enterprising.
pushing follow, who. like almost everybody else In
tho mountains, had many irons in the fire."
Among his other ventures he grub stakeh" two
poor men who desired to prospect in the mountains
about the source OF the Ten Mile Crock. He was to
own ne-fourth of anv mines they might discover
After the Robinson mine had been located and MIR.
Robinson became impressed with its wonderful
richness, he bought out his partners paying them
$40 700, = sum which I have heard he found it
very difficult to raise at that time. For while Mr.
Robinson was unable TO interest capitalists in his
property. Any prospect hole on Fryer Hill in
Leadville could be sold for fabulous sum
whether it showed ore in sight not, bat Ten Mile
was not in Leadville, and Eastern people know
nothing about it. At last, when tho true char
acter Of the property began to dawn upon iu-
vestOrs the stock no longer went a-begging.
Tho property Of the Robinson Consolidated Conn.,
pany covers abous fifty acres and comprises Among
others the Windsor, S7S,n Undine, Smuggler,
Checkmate, Rhone, and Ten Mile claims. The chief
workings Of the mine arc In tho Smuggler ground.
