d the discovery Of large deposit of
asphalt In the eastern part OF Grand

A. West of Walden, Colorado. MIR.
West says the asphalt occurs In veins
from five to ten feet wide. and six min
eral claims have been located, each
having from two to four well-defned
veins. All Of the veins have been
opened to the depth OF from ten to fif-
teen feet, and show that the asphalt
becomes more solid with depth. The
mines are about fifty miles west Of
Georgetown. A quantity Of the mate
rial was brought to this city few
days ago and Is now on exhibition at

West says there IL enough asphalt In
