Engineering and Mining Journal: The
Cripple Creek output of ore in Septem-
Der was the largest in the history of that
going on. The total shipments to mills
and smelters are given by our CORE
spondeift at $3.50 tons smelling ore,
valued at s6sS,S00, and 100 tons milling
ore. valued at S16SSOO. a total of sSl7.6O0,
which is certainly notable output The
production has grown very rapidly since
June, when a close estimate put the
totals at 5,490 tons smelling ore and 5000
tons milling ore; the rate Of increase in
the former being about 70 and in the
latter IS per cent. An effort was made
81, 100000 month: but that was I'M
doubtedly an exaggeration, and the Sep
TENDER output, as given above, has
never been surpassed.
