to ours in one long lingering smack,
that made our neck tie come I'm

RAISED THE
FLAG ON
BIG CHIEF
Monster Vein Found Cutting Almost Directly
Across the Giants Crown.

Across the GIANTS Crown.
Last Tuesday Harry Moore and George
L. Bingham raised Old Glory on the sum-
NIT of the Big Chief, I2,5oo feet above
sea level, and also made some mining To-
cations on claims that are apparently
wonderfully rich.
Since the Argus Tunnel company sur
veyed its tunnel site SO that it would cut
a mile under the summit of the old giant
considerable attention has been attracted
to that section. These two gentlemen,
both of them excellent mining men,
scaled the summit of the mountain this
week and made locations at points where
they were never made before.
They state that a plainly defined vein
from which they picked rich stuff runs
almost across the mountain and the out
cropping is plain on the summit, where
there is no slide. A little further down,
however, where the mountain has hidden
her treasure with hundreds of feet of
vegetation and slide there is no possible
chance to find vein.
About ten years ago excitement was
wild regarding this point, and David H.
Moffatt, the Denver millionaire, with his
mining partner, Eben Smith, had men
prospecting around the Chief for nearly
year. On account of the depth of the
slide it was impossible so find a surface
indication of vein matter and in order to
have sunk prospect hole through the
slide it would have been necessary to have
timbered, and then it would have been
good chance indeed that would have To-
Gated the hole over vein. For this rea-
son prospecting was not resumed. The
Argus tnnnel proposes to cut through
under this rich territory and uncover
whatever rich veins there may be- 1t is
claimed by some that the old Chiefs rich
veins have furnished the gold that has
been taken out of the rich placer fields on
Soda creek, and there is some reason for
the belief when it is taken into consider
alton that the richest float ever found in
the district, running 6s per cent pure
gold, has been found on the Chief.
The country in that vicinity is rapidly
being opened up and taken up. The
work of the Gold Cord company and its
success with the Lexington, right this
side of the Big Chief, is attracting mining
men to that point.

Ore From the Old Lexington.

Manager Straub of the Lexington has
opened a new body of four-ounce gold
ore in one of the new claims recently To-
Gated near the Lexington. The Gold
Cord company, of which he is manager,
has closed the deal for the Allen mill and
will soon be running Lexington ore over
the tables. 1t is stated that it will will be
ready to begin operations within ten
days. By that time Chicago creek will
be transformed into the real milling sec.
ton. The Matte, Linn and Gold Cord
will be running night and day within a
distance of one mile. After all it begins
to look as if the Chicago creek and Soda
creek sections would turn the tables on
the mining men who have hooted them
for the past five years. 1t will be another
case of Cripple Creek. The miners and
geologists and experts said it was a COW
pasture and it required the distinguished
ingenuity of Nebraska carpenter and a
Kansas cornhusker to develop and dem
onstrate the fact that it was one of the
richest gold fields on earth.

THE MAN
WHO HAS
MILL ORE
He is the One Who Can Produce the Bu1-
Iion and the Smelter Trust Can Sweat.

He is the One Who Can Produce the Boil
Jion and the Smelter Trust Can Sweat.
The man who has little cyanide mill
or big cyanide mill, and plenty of con-
centrating ore or free milling stuff, is the
man who can let the smelling trust have
its way. He can sell his bullion to the
local buyers or to Uncle Sam and need
not ask odds of the sampling trust, the
smelter trust or any of them.
The American Gold Standard Mining
company is one of the companies in the
Idaho Springs district, and the only one,
that can say that is in this rather envi-
able position. 1t makes no difference to
Manager Linn whether the smelter trust
lives or dies. He cares not what their
charges may be. He has the gold and
can get rid of it for it is something that
is in demand the world over.
1t is little bit curious that under the
circumstances the mining men are the
first to howl down any effort to bring
about different processes in the treatment
mills year in and year out, pay 81 per ton
to have the values extracted, in many in
stances satisfy themselves with 60 per
cent of the value, and then if someone
suggests that new process is to be tried
that may save an additional value these
same ones are the first ones to yelp and
howl because they say "It will never
work and some tenderfoot is booming it. "
AS matter of fact the smelter trust
will soon find itself up against it, to use
a slang expression. Necessity is the
mother of invention, and necessity will
compel the invention of something that
will destroy the clutch of the smelter
trust. There is nothing in the world
needed as bad as better system of treat
ing ore and extracting its value. Gold
cannot be cornered. Oil and other com.
modities and products can be pinched up
by the trusts, but the gold production can
never be.

Wouldn't This Jar You.

Here is the essential portion of line
received from man in Boston by the
name of Brownlee who has evidently
taken course in mining at some of the
schools, but never saw a mine: 'I am a
subscriber to Siftings and have a thor
ough and technical knowledge of mining.
1t seems to me that it would pay the
newspapers TO publish the mining news
in scientific manner" Well, this is
great Just as if we had not handled the
subject scientifically for the past year
and over. Our scientific friend has the
wrong idea of newspaper business. He
does not stop to realize that majority of
the subscribers to newspapers are inno-
cent of the meaning of majority of the
jawbreaking names. They are to heavy
they could not be trammed out of an
article so that the reader could get them
on the dump of understanding. When
we get ready to stope for big words we
will write our friend in the Bean City.
The facts are what the public wants and
it is hard enough for a newspaper to get
at them without being obliged to keep
squirting at a dictionary every time it
mentions a mine.

Lawson Wants a Mil.

In the correspondence from Lawson
last week it was suggested that a mill
would pay if established there, and there
is little doubt that the proposition would
be good one. Any of our eastern friends
who desire to invest in a good paying
proposition will find that this would be
one. That district is as steady in its pro-
duction as the sun is in its course from

the company that gets in there first with
good proposition will reap abundant
profit.

Getting Back at Us.

The Daily Mining Record, of Colorado
Springs. is always sprightly and is doing
a whole lot of good in the way of help
ing all the mining districts of the state
Commenting upon the article in Siftings
last week concerning the alleged falling
off in ore values in the Cripple Creek dis
trict, the Record says editorially:
Idaho Springs Siftings takes it for
granted that the figures included recently
in brokers' market letter to show that
Portland ore is depreciating in value as
depth is gained, are correct. Comment
ing further, this authority says:
$50 much has been said concerning the
great ore of the great gold camp, and
Idaho Springs has been ready and will
ing to admit that she was low grade
camp all this time that it makes it seem
trifle curious to have figures presented
which show that Clear Greek can strike a
better average on values than Cripple
Creek. The same is true of Gilpin
county.
Last year the average value of the ore
in the Idaho Springs district was SIS to
the ton. In Georgetown it averaged close
to SIoo to the ton, and we understand the
average in Gilpin county was about the
same as that Of Idaho Springs.
CATER all Clear Creek is bound to come
to the front as the banner district of Col
orado. We have no desire to build up
over the ashes of some other district de-
stroyed, but we are always willing to take
advantage of figures presented, and if we
can go them few better it is our place to
let the world know it,
"Without desiring to detract at all
from the splendid showing made by the
camps, as cited by Siftings, we would ask
how about the quantity of ore produced
by the various camps. In commenting
upon the very live ashes of Cripple Greek
is it not fair to state that the lowest av-
erage cited by the notwithstanding
broker, viz: $3I IT per ton, is a mighty
good showing, considering the tremend-
Gus tonnage, and the fact that the output
represents gold values only1"

The District a Wonder.

The following interview taken from
the Daily Mining Record shows what w.
w. Kirby, secretary of the Cripple Greek
Stock exchange, thinks of the Idaho
Springs district;
"The Lucania is bound to be double
barreled winner" said Mr.. Kirby
"While we are not making such progress
as we intend with our machinery INSTALL
ed, the bore is being driven ahead and
already we have met with some success.
The tunnel is 8xS, double track, and is
already in I2o feet. In this distance we
have cut two most promising veins. Both
are blind veins and both were cut in our
own ground. From one we got assays up
to SI2 and from the other, with a strong,
well-defned four-foot vein, we got $o 40
from the pay streak. We have not ex-
plotted these veins, nor do we intend to
Just yet, our main purpose being to drive
ahead in the bore"
The tunnel is beginning already to gain
depth very rapidly. This is one of the
chief features of the enterprise. With
every foot of driving the possibilities be-
come greater. As an example, Mr. Kirby
cited the instance of the Kinda veiu,
which is one of the first large known
veins which will be cut. The tunnel will
tap this vein at depth of 900 feet. In
surface workings in this vein there is dis
closed four feet of oxidized ore. The pay
streak yields ore ranging from $40 to 500
and the balance is good for $I8 to $40.
Considering the fact that much lower
grade of ore is marketable in this district
than in Cripple Greek, some idea of the
magnitude of the ore bodies can be had
and also justi6es the assertion made by
Kinda, if made in Cripple Creek would
create an excitement.
The Lucania penetrates section which
has already produced upwards of $6o,-
ooo, 900 from surface workings. The tun-
mel will gain maximum depth of 5000
feet, and has an average depth of 1900
for its entire course. These productive
veins will be exploited through the tun-
mel at depth never before attempted. 1t
is difficult to estimate the wonderful pos
sibilities when this great depth is attain
ed. The Lucania company has vast
acreage of ground of its own, which has
great promise, and in addition will de-
rive revenue by transporting ore and
waste from other properties. 1t will also
provide power and furnish means for
the owners of property to operate their
ground at greater depth than would be
possible with their present surface faci1i-
ties.

WORK ON
THE RICH
FRACTION
Now Steady Shipper and the Occidental is
Decidedly in the Swim.

- ~-~~
Manager Redding and son were in the
city this week on matters connected with
their properties here, or rrather the prop
critics of the Occidental Development
company. The fact that the Fraction is
turning out the ore every month from the
mills speaks loudest for the success of the
big proposition, but Manager Redding is
the sort of a man who is never satisfied
unless improvement is the order of the
day.
1t was not stated what would be done
inclined to tell what they propose to do
nor are they inclined to say much about
what they have done. 1t was limited,
however, that substantial improvements
to the property were under consideration
and that new additions to the holdings of
the company are liable to be made at any
time.
The Belle of Granite, owned by the
same company, is also operating right
along and the ore is being shipped in ricn
quantities from the property. The Occi-
dental is one of the companies that has
kept its promise and is doing something
for the people who have invested in its
propositions. Much of this is due to the
good judgment of Manager Redding and
Mr.. Redding, jr., who is also capable
mining mau and practical man himself.
