OF 1880 required the government to

each month. and to coin II into silver
dollars. The provision for the pur-
chase OF bullion in this act was re
pealed In 1888 but the coinage of
bullion In the treasury into silver dol

now in the general fund OF the treas

The sale of the North Star mine on

ing Significance to the town of Silver
ton and the mining industry OF the
county, The mine and mill are with
IN easy distance of the town. and the
fact that new management intend to
greatly Increase the working force as
wei as improve the mill. will give
business impetus and activity to the
town. The new superintendent re-
marked Monday: There should be
three hundred men at work at the
present time. Most of these men
would live in Silverton, and be a di.
rect benefit to the community.
The North Star was located by
Johnnie Williams twenty-three years
ago. who put in some work on the
property. II then passed into the
hands of the Silverton Mining Com
pany. who did vast amount of work

worked the property until 1898. when
II was closed down. Last year Her

would prevent sinking on the vein

with success since he began opera

grade copper ore was encountered.
and since then even better ore bodies
have been uncovered Work has
proven that the North Star ore grows

also increases. ] c. O'Neil, of Chi

The company will push the big tun-
mel on into Sultan mountain to un-
cover other veins known to exist from
surface out groupings. and will also
continue to extract rich ore from the
present levels.
The North Star owns l65 acres OF
valuable mineral territory. They

LA PLATA MINES
ARE GETTING ATTENTION
tDenver Republican }


George N Raymond. Editor of the
Daily Herald at Durango. is in the city
and brings good news of the progress
being made In the La Plata mining
district. Mr.. Raymond who has
been for years an earnest advocate of
the new gold district. says that mining
people can no longer complain that
the La Plata country is without
mine. as the Neglected Is the great
est high grade gold mine the world
has ever had having continued for one
wear to ship a higher grade of ore
daily than any other gold mine has
ever shipped continuously in the same
quantity. The Neglected is now ship
ping 10 tons of an aggregate value of
80 900 perday
"1t is not to be presumed. either,
that the Neglected is the only great
gold mine in La Plata district" said
Mr., Raymond. 81 am informed by
mining men who have made a careful
study of the geology and vein con
struction of the district that every
vein which has been explored to con
siderable extent has established one
or more rich chutes. The veins are
not all tellurium. nor are they all as
rich as the Neglected has proven. but
depth will prove more large gold pro
ducers for the district.
Some of the best mining men in
Colorado have been exploring the dis.
trict and those | have met. without
an exception are pleased with the out
look for m kipu pnra r,ipnS prp,

Those who are seeking investment
are not looking for tellurium prop
er'ies alone Some Of them are fig.
uring on the future production OF the
extensive sulphide veins which gen.
orally. with small surface develop.
ment, promise only milling values.
Ores of a value of 500 have been ship.
ped from these veins. however, and
which further development may de-
termine
The owners of the Neglected are
not given to discussing their great
gold bonanza mach. but occasionally
fact leaks out which suggests the
importance to Colorado of the enter
prise. 1t has been stated. and be-
lieve on good authority. that the Ne.
elected now has $2.OOO.OOO in sight
with the property only In the prospect
stage. No stopping has been done
for n long time, the ore that is ship.
ped coming from the progress of drift
ing. Forty to sixty-dollar ore is be-
ing piled up for the future disposition
1t costs s12 per ton to pack and haul
the ore TO the smelter at Durango
The mine is properly named. It
was neglected aa long time A min
ing man well known tried in 9S to get
San Juan people to pay 5000 for
the property. and begged for the mon
ey. The owners were willing to sell
last October for 5000 and were Of

derstand that the owners now refuse
to make price for the property.
1T must not be inferred that the Ne
elected is the only mine in the dis
