Less Than Last Year by
Some Four Million
Dollars.
Total Value Of Gold, Silver,
Lead and Copper About
$46,oOO,OOO.

DENVER, Dec. 31.-At noon today
carefully gathered records which
have been in preparation were com
pleted showing the mineral produc-
ton of the state of Colorado when the
year closes tonight.
The statement is not altogether of
a satisfactory nature. The output
of gold, silver, lead and copper, so
far as values are concerned, is less
than last years figures. being during
1900 nearly $50,OO0,OO0, while this
year they will not quite reach $4G,-
100000. In round figures the total
value of gold is twenty-six millions, of
silver ten millions and a half, OF lead
six millions and half and of copper
one million and a half.
The tonnage, so far as production
goes. has been much more than last
year, but the grade has been lower,
the values less.
Cripple Creek, which continues to
the best producing camp in the en-
tire world, has fallen off in values
twelve dollars ton on production
of one hundred and twenty thousand
tons.
The decline in silver during the last
year has dropped values In production
Of silver q million and hair dol
lars. nearly 15 per cent.
The outlook. however. is not at all
discouraging. The mines of the whole
state are In better condition than ev-
er before. Immense development
work has been done in every section
and the prospects are that the pro
duction will run considerably over
$50 100000 the coming year. If there
is no pinching out In any of the great
properties.

TELLURIDE, Dec. 31.-The miner
al production of San Miguel county
will figure up something over $1,000.
900. The Journal will publish fig
ures from the leading mines which
show a production of $2,997 400. di-
vided as follows: Smuggler- Union,
1O6,389 tons of crude ore. valued at
$S33.900; Tomboy, $819,s00; Liberty
Bell. $612.500; Caribou and Montezu-
ma, $156,0OO; Butterfly. $l25.400;
Ophir-Consolidated, $4,000; Alta.
$45, 900; Milwaukee-ophir 100000;
San Bernardo. $4,000; Gold King
Consolidated $4,000; Peck Cyanide,
$4,000. Other properties are listed,
making up $125. 900. The above are
all estimated and will be close to of
fetal figures In addition there are
several smaller producers which will
swell the aggregate to over three mil
lion dollars.
In this connection, few figures
may be OF interest. The total mum
ber OF cars Of ore shipped from the
Telluride station this year is only
1,546, as compared with 1.S41 last
year. This is accounted for from the
fact that the Japan Consolidated
mines have not been shipping owing
to improvements going on and pre-
pairing to take care of the water.
Again, the strike at the Smuggler-
Union cut shipments down to 106 cars
during two months in the summer.
as against 306 shipped during the
same time the previous year. and the
fire at Bullion tunnel also cut down
shipments from $40 to 229 cars dur
ing the same period last year.
The improvements now going on at
the Smuggler-Union properties will
be completed sufficiently to allow re-
sumption of work on large scale
early in the year, and with no mishaps
these properties win double the out
put the coming year, employing in
the neighborhood of one thousand
men at the mines and mills and nee
essary outside work. The outlook
for 1902 is exceedingly propitious
and the people of Telluride look fol
the best year in the history of the
county.
