Summit county mines are enjoying
streak Of luck from an unusual source
says the Denver Mining Reporter. The
ores from that county are in great de-
mand on account of their lead contents
While the smelters refuse to accept ore
from Cripple Creek unless it contains
two ounces or over in gold, they are in
the market for any ore from Summit
county that has 20 per cent or over of
lead. The largest portion OF the ore
shipped from there runs from 20 to 80
per cent lead, and it is richer in gold
than any galena ore found elsewhere in
Colorado. One shipment recently made
| ran 4S per cent lead, three e-quartsr
ounces gold and ten ounces silver. AS
ore OF this grade gets free smelling
charge, the miners OF Summit have a
big fortune before them in this rise in
the values of their ores.
