PARK VALLEY

T HE sea~on at Park Valley, the
camp which every Colorado ex-
pert who has looked into its
merits declares has the making Of an
other Cripple Greek. has witnessed a
long stride forward in the teeth OF
the systematic efforts of the profess
sional knockers to hold it back De
velopment has been less rapid than it
otherwise would have been on this ac-
count, but nevertheless sufficient has
been accomplished to insure the cree
ton OF two. and possible more. mills
during the coming springtime.
During the past six months the Cen
fury, under the management of p w.
Madsen, has emerged from an expert
mental proposition to a money maker
Of recognized ability. For the time
stated the hfteen-stamD mill has been
grinding out from IS. 600 to $4,000 worth
of gold bullion monthly and the new
year begins with the company's in
debtedness reduced to an insignificant
figure, while the mine has been opened
TO that extent that there is now SUI
fCient ore in sight to keep the plant
running for the next two years ar least.
Barring accident, the company win be
/ gin reimbursing its patient sharehOld-
ers ninety days hence.
The recent entrance into the camp
of such experienced operators as George
/ r. Fetterman, Pat Sheehan, Ernest
and A. H Godbe, who are engaged in
I opening up the Planetary group, viii
go a long way in creating confidence
/ in the district, and the claim owners
/ of the camp are to be congratulated
/ upon their entrance. To operate the
ground mentioned the men named have
/ formed the Golden Rod Mining & Mill
+ ing company and. under the sUperin-
! tendency of W. H. Weyher, chief own
/ er of the group, the company expects
to have the property show up enough
ore during the next few months to
warrant the erection of a mill. That
/ il will not be disappointed IS certain
/ Manager Lochwitz of the Sunrise,
who was in this city a short time ago,
announced that he would have his
| company's property ready for mill
/ next spring also, while Manager Carter,
| of the Carter cOmpany's mines in Pine
! CANYON. is known 20 be shaping mat
/ tiers to the same end at his property.
4 The operating tunnel on this proper
~ is now entering the first great ledge
and by the time springs opens IL IS
believed he will have d world of good
milling ore blocked out
Work at the West Century and Col
I conda companies properties has been
steadily prosecuted during the year
| under the management of Harry S Jo-
seph. with most substantial results.
Bodies of high-grade ore have been
/ opened in each and while nothing has
vet been announced concerning the in
stallation of mills, there is little room
| to doubt that the coming season s
{ operations viii make it imperative on
the management to provide a means Of
/ treatment
| The Brooklyn company has also
opened up some splendid bodies of ore
in its territory during the year and
the day is not far distant when II, TOO,
will have TO make provision for the
handling of its product.
Numerous groups of claims upon
which companies have not yet been
formed are being quietly opened by their
owners and during the year large
number of claims have been patented
and surveyed for patent, both by CON-
Danies and individuals. with the idea
of acquiring perfect title before max
ing splurge. The coming gear prom
ises to be a lively one for Park Val
ley.
