or domestic purposes. 1t is shipped not
only to points throughout Colorado, but
even to points outside the state, and the
demand seems constantly increasing.
Within radius of four miles from
Florence are most OF the important coal
camps-Coal Creek, Rockdale, Williams
burg, Brookside and Chandler Other
camps have been lately opened, and pros
pecting is going on continually.
The coal lies in blanket veins and is
easily mined Between the veins the
seams are of sandstone, and little tim
bering is required, so that operations can
be conducted very economically. When
the mines are all in operation, which is
nearly always the case, from 500 to 600
cars of coal are mined daily
The population of the coal camps
does its trading for the most part at
Florence. Coal Creek has about 900
inhabitants. Rockvale 1900, Williams
burg 800. Chandler $50 and Brookside
$50. The monthly pay roll amounts to
about $500, 900, and, of course, the greater
portion of this is circulated in Florence.
The principal companies operating in
the Florence coal fields are the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company and the Victor
Coal company.
Cheap coal gives great advantages to
manufacturing concerns locating in
Florence. The supply is inexhaustable,
and it seems that the deeper the coal is
mined the better the quality becomes.

Prominent among the leading mer-

meats and groceries Some weeks ago
the firm moved into large and hand
some new store in the new Lewis block.
They filled the shelves. cases and coun-
tiers with stock of the highest grade
and are catering to the best trade in the
town. Mr.. Simms started the business
in the small, triangular store on Main
street, but increased trade demanded
larger, facilities for taking care of it.
The firm makes specially of fine
Florida cigars of which it carries a
large line and caters especially to the
box trade

current for both the municipal and COM
mercial lighting OF Florence. The street
arc lights are equal in efficiency to those
OF any larger cities, and the incandescent
lighting service for stores, offices and
homes is eminently satisfactory.
The plant is equipped with three 80
horse power boilers, two oo-horse power
Arlington & Simms engines and four
dynamos having capacity of 1000 in
candescent and 40 arc lamps.
Mr.. Charles Neeley is local manager

REDUCTION CENTER
OF MINING WEST
Florence Mills and SmeIter
Natural . Advantages Make Town Most
Favorable Point for Ore Treatment.

Florence is bound, ultimately, to be the
greatest ore reduction center in the West
1t is the natural smelling and ore treat
ing center, not only for Cripple Creek
Leadville, the San Juan country, and
other ore producing points. Other rich
territory, like that of Custer county,
is yet to be opened up, tributary to Flor
as the reduction center OF the future.
Certainly the tendency points that way,
and the reduction industry has grown
to mammoth proportions locally in the
past few years.
Just after the Cripple Creek railway
was built here in 1893 the old Beam mill
was erected, in 1904, 1t did not prove
a success under the process then in use,
and in the same year the cyanide mill"
OF the Metallic Extraction company was
built-the largest cyanide reduction plant
in the world 1t has a capacity of about
400 tons daily. In 1896 the FL Paso mill

ore per day, and later the same year the
plant Of the National Gold Extraction
company was erected. Both of these
plants operate the chlorination process,
and the National mill treats about $50
tons per day.
During the past year two new reduc-
ton mills have been erected The Union
Gold Extraction company's new plant
is one OF the finest chlorination plants in
the country, and can handle about 800
tons of ore per day, The new Dorcas
mill, cyanide process plant, has a ca
pacity OF about 100 tons.
The new pyritic smelter plant OF the
Rocky Mountain Smelter company,
completed within the past few months
and now operating, also adds much to
the Importance OF Florence as a reduc-
tion center, and moreover entities it to the
claim of having the finest and most up
to-date smelter in the world This plant.
operating under the new matte process
of DIR, Franklin Carpenter, has a capac-
ity of about 500 tons per day, and is de
signed to handle refractory low grade
ores that cannot be taken care of in the
ordinary lead smelters. The smelter at
present operates but two furnaces, but
is so designed that additional ones can
be readily installed without enlarging
the buildings.
Florence has inexhaustable deposits
of coal for boiler fuel, and has unlim-
tied quantities of crude oil, which is
extensively used in the reduction plants
particularly as fuel for the roasters,
and there is no point in Colorado bet
ter adapted for the needs of smelling
and reduction plants, or more favorably
. located for the shipment of ores.

the rates charged, which are very rea-
sonable, the house is the best in Flor
ence.

GREAT OIL FIELDS
OF The WEST
Constantly Growing Industry
fiorence's Great Oil Territory Is Being
Constantly Extended.

The first impetus to the growth of
Florence was given it by the discovery
OF oil in commercially profitable guam
titles. To-day the oil industry is prob
ably the most important in this district,
and the Florence oil fields are the
greatest west of Pennsylvania The
fields are constantly being enlarged and
successful prospecting is being continu-
ally conducted. The extent of the fields
has by no means been determined, and
they now cover an area some four
miles in width and a dozen miles long,
extending southeast from Florence
Some rich wells are within a stones
throw OF the center of the business
district of the city; others dot the hills
miles away. The wells are driven
from I,2oo to $500 feet in depth and
for the most part are all rich pro-
ducers
The first well sunk in the local fields
was drilled by the Colorado Oil Com
pany in 1882, but proved a failure. The
first successful well was put down
under the direction of J. Wallace in
1885. and proved productive well. Mr.
Wallace is now president of the United
Oil & Refining Company. About this
time A. E. Gumaer made extensive pur-
chases in properties that promised oil,
and from that time on the general de
velopment of the fields commenced. To-
day there are two refneries in Florence
those OF the United Oil Company and
the Florence Oil & Refinery Company
At the time of the reorganization of
the United Oil Company, in 1887, the
refining capacity was $50 barrels per
day. To-day the refinery has a capacity
OF 1000 barrels per day. Some of the
wells in the local fields have proven re-
markably productive. The No. 40 we'll
OF the United Oil Company has pro
duced 100000 barrels of oil since it was
put down. 1t was 3oo-barrel we'll
when sunk, and is still pumping. This
company has produced 100000 barrels
OF oil in the past eleven years.
The two refineries in the local fields
operate day and night, refining the crude
OIL and manufacturing coal oil, benzine,
naptha, gasoline, lubricating oils, fuel
OIL axle grease, candles and residuum
Much crude oil is shipped to LeadviIle
and other points, where it is used for
fuel in the mines and smelters. The
residuum is also used for fuel.
Another product of the oil fields is
natural gas. There are over fifty gas
wells in the Florence fields, and the gas
is used for domestic heating purposes
and is also utilized as fuel by the re-
fineries
Great improvements have been made
of late, not only in the methods of pros
pecting for oil, but in the manner of
operating the wells, and these improve
ments involve considerable saving of
power and consequent economy.
1t is impossible to conjecture the ex-
tent to which the development of the
local fields will continue Surprising
success is met with in drilling new
wells, ard the industry, although about
eighteen years old, seems to be only in
its infancy. New companies have been
formed within the past year or two.
There are no less than six companies
operating in the Florence fields to-day.

crossing.

WILL TEST The Law.
Case at Kent Which May Lead
to Many More Of Same
Kind.

Kent, April 10.-A case has been tried
here that may lead to many more OF the
same kind, in that it calls attention to
state law that has apparently been
violated without reserve.
Lou Rodenbaugh, saloonkeeper OF
this village, brought suit against
Samuel Cook, also saloonkeeper, ac.
cusing him of violating the law by con-
Quoting bowling alley in connection
with his saloon business. Hearing In
the case was given in Justice w. w.
Patton's court Tuesday but decision has
been reserved for few days.
In February. 1881, a law was enacted
prohibiting any saloonkeeper from con-
Quoting bowling alley, or similar
amusement, in Connection with his sa-
loon. This law is embodied in sec-
ton 1000 revised statutes of Ohio. No
attempt has been made to repeal 1t or
have it amended, and so far as the laws
ever having been enforced. it has been
practically forge Ctten.
The. penalty provided by the law is a
fine of not more than $100 or less than
$40.
