The output of Cripple Creek district for the
month Of October. a compiled by the Daily
Cs-tsslasr. shows very gratifying Increase in
the amount of values produced over that of
Septembe-. the increase being $50, $50 There
was falling oil IN the amount OF tons mIIled
and a slight Increase in the values saved As
compared with September the amount of ore
sent to the smeters nearly doubled, the
increase being l,oI5 tons. The increased re-
turns from this source are due to tonnage, as
the average value per ton Of all the ores
shipped was about Sli per ton less than for
September, and is considerably below the 500
mark.
OF the old shippers, all have held their own
except the Buena Vista and the Pharmacist
Many new names have made their appearance
on the smelling company's books, the most
notable being the Anna Lee. which now
heads the list In the matter OF tonnage ship
ped. The increase In the production OF
smelling ore is not confined to any particular
portion Of the district, all parts having con-
tributcd to make October the banner month
in the history of the camp. At the present
gait are contributing to the wealth of the
world al the rate of over SSooo,0O0 per an

rate will be doubled by June Of next year
