not cut quite as deep a swatl,e as o1

The perambulatory reporter is no,
altogether new invention, and is not
attractive for his novelty. We some

Gunnison county is destined omake
some of the older counties of the State
ashamed of themselves in the Exposi-
tion. The people Of that section have
taken an interest in the project from
the beginning and have been urging
the miners of every section to the Ut
most endeavor. The county commits
sioners have appropriated $1,000 to
aid in paying the expenses incident to
making the exhibit and have sent
agents in all directions. Hence the
chances are that Gunnison will come
down to Denver on the first of August
with one of the finest collections of
gold, silver and iron ore, and coal and
marble and vegetables and grains to be
found in the entire big brick building
on Broadway. Glpln, Clear Creek
and Lie counties will have to look
to their ladRels. .-Denvey Times.
( From the above i. can be seen what
they expect Of Gunnison county at
the Exposition. and if We do not want
to disappoint them in their belief,
every man who has got a dollar IN
vested here should feel an interest in
doing all that he can IN securing

The Gunnison from the time OF its

The Gunnison from the time Of its
first discovery in mines has had one
continualseries of set backs, especially
this particular locality, the Ruby MIN
ing District. At first it was tie fright
from the Indians, when there was not
one within forty miles Of us, soto
speak, then chad oar Jacobs, who
tried his very best to give us black
eye, simply because he d,d not have
the capacity to carry out his under
taking, and at all times the cloud has
hung over us as to the titles Of proper
ties, being on reservation. With all
these obstacles to contend with, Ruby
camp to-day shows up as no other
fissure vein camp In the State ever
showed up with its present age, and
with even half the obstacles that con-
front our camp. Shows up what tine
question may be asked. Why, gentle
reader, it shows up more veins, big
ger veins, and veins that give encour-
agement to their owners to push the
work Of development. The one. eFsM
thing needed in this camp, is money
to open up the veins, that have already
proved by present development un-
doubted permanency. This is no idle
talk, but is taken from careful study
and conservative observation,
Another thing that has been an i'm
pediment to our progress is that this
country came into prominence just at
the time the. great carbonate camp
was receiving her great clash, brought
about by innate spectators, who
for awhile heeced innocent eastern
investors and filled them with suci,
disgust that some of them would no.
touch mine if they thought that sill.
yer would roll out with the eagle
stamped on il; but we make bold to
say that if this camp could have had
halt the advantages, half the money
tor development that some other
camps have had, we would stand IN
the front rank of a producing camp,
and our statistics would prove it at the
end Of the year.
If you do not believe this, just take
your foot and hand or ride If YOU
please, and go around and visit the
different basins tributary to Ruby
camp. You will find them at work
on good big strong veins, that look as
though they would last for generations
to come. These people are sinking on
their veins, getting into them and in
every instance they improve with
depth. Why we do not hear 50 much
from these people is because they, as
rule are not in the public places
trying to sell a prospect hole that they
are afraid to put another shot in for
fear they knock the bottom out, but
are trying with all their might to de-
velop mine. While the most of our
people are anxious to sell portion of
their property in order that they may
have means to continue development,
very few, if any, are dissatisfied enough
to want to sell out, therefore, we say
to-day there are more and better
chances to buy promising prospects
than any place we know of, prospects
that doubtless with development could
not be bought at any price.
