Visit the Pine District
The News Of last Friday saws:

| = AAS -'o"o Vi iuoe - AtSuy says
| An organized effort is being made by
representative citizens of the northwest
ern part of Gilpin county to conteract
what adverse opinion may have been
formed OF the Pine district mining inter-
ests by previous blooming" The Min
ers' and Prospectors' Association, which
is an outgrowth of this effort, has begun
the crusade against popular false i'm
pressions. in strong letter setting forth
the conditions of mines then and row in
Gilpin county. The evil effects of
blooming" methods are discussed, and
then is taken up a full exposition of the
real facts as regards the mining wealth
of Glpin county.
We have one of the greatest mineral
belts in the world" recites the letter.
"The first gold bearing true issure veins
in Colorado were discovered in Gilpin
county, which veins have, many of them
become world-renow ned Mines"
The statement is made that during the
last forty years more than Sl20,000O 600,
in precious metals have been taken from
Pine district. The town of Apex is at
present the largest in the district, but
such towns as American City and Balti-
more bid fair to become as large within
the next few years. The Denver, North
Western and Pacific railroad, from Dem
yer to'Salt Lake city is in progress near
Baltimore Besides its enviable mining
advantages this little town is likely to
become popular summer resort, sit
uated as it is on the edge of perhaps the
most picturesque of all mountain parks,
Boulder park.
Surveyors are at work on line from
Central CITY to Rolinsville. At the lat
ter point connection will be made with
the Moffit road, and by this arrangement
travellers can leave Denver in the morn
ing over the Colorado and Southern to
Central City, pass through the greatest
mineral belt in America, also country
unsurpassed for scenic attractions, and
easily return to Denver by 6 o'clock of
the same day.
After summarizing Gilpin county's in
creased advantages the letter, of which
a great number will be distributed, con-
cludes with prediction of good times,
and the extension of warm invitation
to all to visit Pine district.
