During 1898 10 was g.. s02, 4AS. and the
increase, be 1t remem bersd, ell came

| gold, were closed and did not add their
| quota 10 the total. There Is practically
no gold :ound below an altitude OF

was being produced in Colorado at the
rate of tl2,00O,OO year The most

1899. CoiOrado's production OF gold,
silver lead and copper will this
year be larger than any previous
| year for the increase in gold will more
than balance any loss that might occuf
! IN other metals. The aggregate will
certainly run over SIS, 600. 600. Califor-
| MIA, the golden state, has for some
years produced about Sl2 600, 900 of
gold each year. Colorado has alreadc

silver properties which carry more or
less gold. Silver mining IL very far
! from dead; in fact the production OF
silver last year, In spite OF all the
scare, was eli, 717 $50, and there was
| only small decrease in Lead. This
amount OF silver may not be mined in
1894, but the gold output will far more
than make up the loss.
1t is almost impossible to grasp the
possibilities of gold production in this
state Imagine many thousands Of
square miles of mineral bearing coun-
try through which hundreds OF gold
properties have been located within six
months, and under every foot OF which
may be hidden bonanza. Over fifty
wholly new gold camps have been es.
