home in Lexington, on the morning Of
October 20, aged IS years. He had held
many positions of honor and trust. and
was efficient and faithful in all. He en-

GOLD BELTS OF COLORADO.


1t was only three or four months ago
that the mountains of Colorado swarmed
with new army of prospectors, survey
ors, map makers, adventures and ex-
plorers of various kinds in search of the
mora available fields within the numer-
GUS gold belts of alleged discovery. Com
menting upon this fact the Denver Min
ing Reporter says maps were made show
ing the northern extension of the Grip
Pile Creek veins through Park, Jefferson,
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties, and
having their termination in Boulder
county. Thence the line was DETECTED
and its northern extremity was made
manifest in Routt county. The southern
extension of the Cripple Creek belt was
revealed in Fremont and Custer coun-
ties. The Gunnison gold belt long and
wide area Of promising territory, was de-
fined and the Leadville gold belt es.
tablished. Not all of this vast aggregate
OF mountain area is within the bounds
Of auriferous deposit as determined by
Hayden'a geological survey, yet at many
points within the limits described gold to
some extent has been found and work
has been steadily prosecuted upon pros
poets, with the result, in many instances,
OF increasing production, though, except
in the Ueadville district, no sensational
mines have as yet developed. This fact,
however, may not rcfute the gold belt
theory. The sections OF country de-
scribed are too vast and difficult OF ac.
cess for immediate occupation and de-
velopment. Undoubtedly new gold re-
gions, with their wonderful bonanzas,
are yet to be found in Colorado, and
probably within tho areas described.
But thus far it has not been necessary
for the prospector to wander far from
the network of beaten trails. Cripple
Creek, Leadville, Clear Creek, Gilpin and
the great San Juan, where the silver
mines Of old continue their increase OF
gold, have demanded too much OF the
miners time and attention for new ex-
ploits, and for the present the mines of
these localities are sufficient to maintain
Colorado's position as the leading gold
and silver producer in the United States
while leaving the new fields MS vast re
serve for future needs.

NEWS AND NOTES.

The rival mining exchange in Denver
and the prospective dissolution of th,
local mining stock exchange, has faller
! through. The new exchange will moi
mateiralize unless there should be a sud-
den imptus given to speculation. 'Tis
we'll it died bornin,'
The miners Of South Dakota are
against the new ruling made by the
government that it requires $500 worth
'of development work to be done on
every claim before patents can be issued.
The distinction made in the ruling be-
tween. shaft and tunnel work, is held by
the miners of that section, will work a
great deal OF injury to them, and that
it is unjust and unfair. The ruling is
in bad odor with miners everywhere.
The first of the coming week the
North Downs Mining company will COM
mence driving cross cut east from the
bottom OF the engine shaft in order to
strike the crevice.
Pine Cone: M. #. Stright, OF Central
City, passed through our camp on Tues
day en- route to his Lone Star property,
located on the South Boulder. Mr..
Stright reports that company will take
his property and commence operations
soon.
Pine Cone: Thorvald Crook, w. Nee,
Walter Scott, J. V. Thompson, AL Rogers
and w. Robinson drove out to Perigo
Saturday to take look at the lease being
worked by Feehan, Cochran & Co. They
have formed a pool and taken lease
and will work on some group adjoining
the Feehan lease. Every one of them
was unanimous in speaking of the big
showing in the Feehan lease, which they
say is one OF the best in the whole
county. We hope the pool will soon be
in good thing themselves.

PLACER MINING COMPANY

A placer mining company, composed
OF eastesn men, has been organized, who
have secured the placer ground along
North Clear Creek from Cottonwood
station extending on up and including
the John u. Collin ground just below
the southerly boundary line OF Black
Hawk. The deal was made by post.
master H. j. Sears, who will be the man
ager and general superintendent. The
ground will be washed by the hydraulic
system, whenever practical, and ground
sluiced on an entended scale. Work
will be commenced next week. The

course greater? The labor commission
er states that any number Of men are
out OF employment because the trust re.
fuses to handle ore running less than
$40 to the ton. The trust cannot be
compelled to handle low grades, but its
refusal to do 80 is an invitation to for the
construction of plants which will do 30.
Let it be known that there is any guam
ity of low grade stuff awaiting treatment
and that the new supply can be made
continuous and increasing, and the
plant for its treatment will be forth
coming.
ANY number OF low grade PROPOSE
tions have been neglected, for the want
OF a market for the ore. Let such a
market be established and hundreds OF
prospects which are lying idle now will
be worked in the future. The trusto
has all the high grade ore it can conve-
niently handle, and more. Now let some
one undertane to handle the low grade
stuff and he will make as great sue
cess OF it as the trust has made. For
the development of our mining indus
try it is unfortunate in one respect that
it has been confined to high grade prop
ositions instead Of working all the ore
as found. The consequence has been
the continuous searth for high grade
ore while the less valuable is left un-
worked. A plant erected in an access
ible location which will treat low grades
exclusively will be a success, from the
start and blessing to the mining in
dustry of the state"
In this connection The OBSERVER
will state that had it not been for the
excessive high royalty asked by the
owners of the Loder patent right of a
pyritic smelter, a smelter of that char
acter would have been in operation near
to the Geiger group of mines in Pine dis
trict.. The owners of the patent right
of the Loder pattern of pyritic smelters
are doing good business at LeadvilIe
on the low grade ores of that section
and are now increasing the capacity OF
their plant from 80 to $50 tons per day.
Those who have examined the merits
of this smelter, pronounce it just what
is needed for the low grade sulphide
ores of Gilpin county. Why not have
smelling works of this character here
in Gipin county?

Aguas Calientes, Mexico. While in Den

manufacturers. Mr.. Rapp estimates
that the annual purchases OF American
mining machinery in Mexico aggregates
s2,5O0,OOO in valae, and of that large
total considerably over n fourth of the
money comes to Colorado. He says
that The reason Colorado markets her
mining machinery in so many different
fields is because it is superior to that OF
almost any other part Of the world, and
can be shipped into Mexico by the pay.

ANOTHER IDLE MINE RESUMES.
The East Boston and Gilpin Mining
and Milling company has been organized
in Boston for the purpose of working the
East Boston mine on Central City hill,
lying between the Central City mine and
the Galena group of veins. The prop
-erty formerly belonged to the estate of
the late Silas B. Hahn. The company is
capitalized at 100000 in 100000 shares
at par value of 81 each. The officers
are: A. r. Hahn, president; r. V. Hahn,
vice president; Elisha Thayer, treasurer;
w. 81. Simpson, secretary; E. j. Lott,
superintendent. The latter gentleman
commenced tearing down the old shaft
house and grading off for new building
44x2O, which will enclose a 20-horse
power gasoline engine and hoistipg plant
which will arrive here by the time the
new building is completed. The prop
erty, which is patented, has shaft
down 1926 feet. AS soon as the plant is
installed Mr.. Lott will begin sinking.
The property has been idle for several
years. In an early day it produced mill
ore that yielded under stamps as high as
20 ounces gold per cords
THE BEACH GOLD OF CAPE NOME.
Jacob Tascher, pioneer mining man
tof this county, who has given much
thought to the subject, sent the follow
ing to the Denver Evening Post, which
appeared in that journal the evening OF
March %:
"The beach gold at Cape Nome. Where
does it come from? Siuce it is admitted
that all sea water has gold in solution,
and that organic matter will precipitate
it from chloride solutions, it follows that
wherever the organic matter and the so.
luton come in contact precipitation OF
gold will take place, and much more
readily at very low temperature. So it
also follows that upon the Cape Nome
beach, where there is strong sea cur
rent but OF shallow depth, cold condi-
tions, are most favorable for precipitation
of the metal. We have been taught that
gold is nearly all metallic in nature, but
it is question in my mind whether the
greater part of it on the earth's surface
is not in solution and mineralized rather
than native metal. We have here in this
county natural chloride Of gold as well
as chloride of silver"
