CUSTER COUNTY MINING.
A Letter States that Three Big
Times Will be Opened up.

/ have just received a letter
from Rosita, Custer county, saying
that there are three of the old
mines in that district which will
shortly be opened up, after cessa-
ton of nearly twenty years A
Pueblo party has already com
nenced tim bering one of the old
shafts, preparatory to re-openlng.
Pueblo, Cripple Greek and Col
orado Springs mining men are
taking active interest in Custer
county mining properties OF
course they know the value of
mining.
The letter also says that the
Hum bolt and Maverick mines are
to again resume work. There have
been several parties examining
these properties recently and sew
eral new locations have been made
in the vicinity of Rosita this year
The general expression of the new
corners is that before the arrival of
spring there will be quite a stir in
mining circles in that locality.
| sincerely hope that the people
of Florence and vicinity will cease
going to distant fields, and first
ascertain what is being done in
their very midst This will be the
best chance that the people of
Florence ever had and we should
not wait for others to enter the
Silver Cliff district and take the
cream of the mining properties,
and later build railroad and take
the ore our In another direction,
which will divert it from Florence
This district should really prove
boon to this place, even more SO
than has Cripple Creek, but the
people of the "Oil City of the
West" should be active in this
matter and get 'in on the ground
floor" open the mines, and then
for the sake of her own welfare
The Florence daily tribune., 1902-02-07

connect the two points by rail and
thereby make booming town on
either end.
There at at least ten old mines
in the vicinity of Querida and
Rosita which proved excellent pro-
ducers fifteen or twenty years ago,
which are only waiting for some
enterprising person or company to
take hold and re- e-open them. The
values are there and therefore they
will not prove wild cat" scheme.
| have secured fifteen claims in
Custer county, near Rosita, which
will be properly opened up short
ly. Floren nee is the nearest point
which has the reduction works and
smelters for treating the ore of
that district, which, by the way, is
only twenty eight miles, as the
crow flies, from here
My advice would be to get in
early and receive some of the rich
rewards that are sure to follow
with proper development.
