PARADOX VALLEY MINES.

For some months there have
been frequent letters and editorial
articles in the daily papers of Den
Yer, extolling the great wealth in
copper of Paradox Valley, Colo
This valley is located about seven
ty- five miles west OF Telluride,
San Miguel county, Colo, and
about twenty miles east of the La
Sale mountains in Utah. 1t ID
only four miles from the Colorado
Utah line. 1t is reached by the
Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Southern to Placerville, Colo, and
by stage about sixty miles from
there.
Copper ores were reported from
that region some years ago, but 1t
is only within the past year that
they have received much attention.
The country rock is red sand
stone, overlaid with gray sandstone,
and it is said to belong to the up
per carbouiferous measures. The
strata are practically horizontal, ex-
cept where broken by faults. Par
adox valley and others forming
narrow canons, have been ere ded
out of this sandstone, leaving tow
erine cliffs several hundred feet
high, often perpendicular, which
wall in the valley. The copper
ore is found in practically vertical
veins, showing IN these cliffs.
Some of the veins are fault fissures,
while others are not. The ore In
ihe veins is brown oxide, blue
carbonate and little gray copper
Much of it is an im mpregnated sand
stone, and a little is very pure and
rich copper ore. Far more of 1t,
which is locally called and doubt
less believed to be ore, is only |
sandstone stained green and blue,
which will run scarcely more than
a trace of copper. The develop
ment on the veins consist of few
adt levels. The widest place of
solid ore we saw was two feet,
though in places the vein matter
out TO ten or fifteen feet,
but it would be a stretch of cred
ulity to call it ali ore, as 1t is local
ly believed to be. In other places
the vein will be only a seam. The
ore apparently exists in lenticular
f shaped bodies or pockets, and
where nature has developed the
VEINS by exposing them in the
great cliffs the pockets are not very
a abundant. 1t carried from a few
TO over two hundred ounces silver
per ton, and little gold By close
cobbing one can get considerable
pre- which will be worth about 500
per ton in the three metals. Den

!, FROM THE MINES
The Western

A reporter for The DIAMOND DRILL
visited the Western mine location yes
tetday and found about thirty-iiye men
at work under Capt John Ham, getting
things in shape on the surince. Two
new boilers have been put III place and
the masons, Pieiifer and Breining, were
ready to begin the work ofbricking them
in. When they are in place 1t will give
the mine two batteries oi boilers, one OF
three and other OF four. This IL
calculated To furnish sufficient steam
power for some time at least Another
gang WAS at work getting ready to hoist
the large smoke stack which will be done
the fore part OF next week. Several
crews were AT work cutting up the wood
that is upon the grounds into proper
lengths for the furnaces The captain
intends to clear up the grounds as
starter. Two bailers out OF the four
that will be used are upon the ground,
and these were being put in shape
to use. 1t is the intention To place two
baiors in No. ] shalt, one in No. and
one in the Lincoln shalt. 1t will be
several weeks yet before the bailers will
be working in good shape but when they
get started they will dip the water out
at u speedy rate
