believed that the city could not afford to
dish out valuable rights of this character
until it was certain that something was to
be done. AS soon as any hotel proposition
makes the success of a hotel for the city
certain the council can well afford to make
concessions in the way of water and other
privileges. 1t means big return for the
city. The same is true in the matter of
stock sales in the city. Every business
man and property owner can well afford to
aid in bringing a hotel to the city for it will
add ten to one to the value of his property
as compared with the amount he would put
into the purchase of stock. Besides this
there is no reason why stock in such an
undertaking should not become good in
vestment.
We trust that before the present month
elapses we may have something definite to
say to the people in regard to the proposit-
ion. With the grounds properly parked
there could be no prettier location for a
tourist hotel and the elevator proposition as
outlined in this paper two or three months
ago will do away with the difficulty of get
ting up to the top of the hill.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-07

that the property has been purchased by
the Blue Ribbon company and that success
full corporation will proceed at once to build
the hotel and give Idaho Springs resort
of which she can be justly proud
'Is it fact asked Siftings represent
ative of Mr.. Bradley, g that the Blue Rib
bon company has purchased your property
on the hill and will build a hotel?''
mo one is authorized to state that it is a
fact" was Mr.. Bradley's reply.
''Do you believe a hotel will be built
there this spring?"
81 am not in position to make any
statement at this time. If there is any
good news in the matter for the papers they
will get it in due time
Notwithstanding these implied denials it
comes to Siftings from authority that can
not be disputed that the hotel will be built
As soon as the proposition is plainly de-
fined the citizens should aid and encourage
the move in every way. We opposed the
granting of water rights and other proposit-
ions in the way of gifts from the city to the
projectors of these propositions because we

actual business begins he will be in posit-
ion to estimate closely what will be the re-
suit: AS an illustrations the next move
will be to add to the capacity of the big
eight-ton mill and make it consistent with
the tonnage that the mine can output.
Then tramway for about a half mile will
be built from the mine to this mill. The
tramway will save so cents per ton on every
ton of ore. The mill with an added capac-
ity will cut down the present price per ton,
or cost per ton for treatment Thus it is
safe to say that with these additions better
than 81 per ton will be saved. 1t would
have been foolish to have expended all this
capital for improvements without some act
ual knowledge of what there might be in the
big vein. With this knowledge, with the
ore blocked out he is absolutely safe in
the proceeding and the reader can make
his own deductions as to what the ultimate
saving will mean on the millions of tons of
ore apparently ready to be knocked down
and sent over the aerial tramway to the
mill.
The Matte is in position at this time
to become the best proposition in the Idaho
Springs district. 1t is on basis as solid
and safe as a National bank and even more
so. The small amount of capital required
to place these additional improvements
would be as drop in the ocean compared
to the results that will follow their install
lation.
The property is working now in four
levels. Every shot apparently opens up a
more valuable ore body. Depth is doing
its part and adding value to the ore. The
vein is a wonder in every sense In some
places it swells out to proportions of better
than twenty feet in width and in no place
has it pinched down to less than four or
five feet. 1t is safe to say that its average
width shown in the thousands of feet of
development work is better than six feet
The novice who saw it would not ques-
ton its continuity. Between walls almost
perpendicular and more perfect than any
other in the district it is unquestionably
the mother vein coursing through that sec
ton. Wherever it has been opened it is
the same.

The cold mineral spring in the Bradley
tunnel is conceded to be the finest in the
state when the volume of supply and char
acter of the water is taken into consideration.
Mr.. Bradley fixed up the tunnel last year
and placed lights inside and after that
it was patronized by four or five hundred
people right here in Idaho Springs besides
the hundreds of tourists who visited the
place The idea of the elevator to carry
the people to the pretty table land above
the city, city park, lookout point and the
other interesting propositions is one that
appeals to anyone. AS matter of fact the
matter of getting the people upon the hill
has been so important as an investment
proposition that company endeavored to
secure franchise rights to build, equip and
operate street car line to the hill.
Mr.. J. N. Bradley, owner of the prop
erty, accompanied by his wife, have just
returned from trip to the headquarters of
the Blue Ribbon company in Council Bluffs,
Ia, and while he is inclined to take the
claims part in the proposition we have it
from another source that cannot be denied

Drawn in the quest of the precious metal.
Hear a score of machine drills working as
if they were almost human to penetrate
the rock. See hundreds of sacks of ore
piled up representing thousands of dollars
when the values are extracted and it is re-
duced to bullion. Activity on every hand.
The natural greed for gold is at its highest
tension for the workmen know it is there
the next shot may uncover a streak that
will mean thousands and even millions.
This Is the idea one gets who visits the
Matte mine. The proud old producer has
passed through her period of litigation.
She has broken the chains that kept her
slave and held her for ransom for years.
The treasure locked in these vaults hund-
reds of feet below the surface is seeking an
outlet. The old mine is apparently just at
the dawn. What will it be at the midday?
The writer accepted the invitation of
Manager William Leebrick of the Matte to
visit the mine this week. He saw with
his own eyes the wonderful resources and
possibilities of the property. The vein is
one of the best defined in the Idaho Springs
district and has no equal unless it is the
great Gem vein so far as this characteristic
is concerned.
Wherever one goes he sees ore. 1t can
probably be said that there is not another
proposition in the district where develop
ment has been conducted so vigorously and
production held back This is what makes
a successful mine Stockholders often COM
plain because the dividend is elusive but,
after all, there is but one system of mining
and that is the reserve system. A mine
that shoots down all it has each day and
ships it the next is like the bank without
reserve fund.
Manager Leebrick has conducted his
mine on the solid, substantial business prime
iples of mining. He has opened up the
vaults that contain the treasure. When

The Great Mine Simply at
Its Dawn.

With a past production record of
over quarter of a million it looks
now as if the Matte had simply
reached the dawn of the real day.
Forty sets of leasers are delving for
the precious metal, the shipments run
over 500 tons per month and the ad
dition of needed Improvements will
make it the greatest producer in the
Clear Creek district. The ore bodies
uncovered at depth almost a solid
mass of rich mineral Another year
of progress-even six month more
will prove the great mine even a
greater treasure vault than it has ever
believed to be. Mining men of the
district are surprised at the value and
dimensions of the big ore bodies ex-
posed within the past three months.

Figures That Fight With the
Millions.

81 have never attempted to esti-
mate the value of the vein owned by
the Matte company. You can make
your own estimates from these deduc-
tions 1t owns one mile and a quar-
ter of the big vein. So far as it has
been uncovered it is conservatively
safe to say that it represents a block
of ore mile and quarter in length,
1000 feet in depth and fully six feet
in width on an average, We have
four levels working now and the av-
erage is better than 5000 per ton in
each level. 1t gets better with depth
and you can take this mile-long brick
of mineralized stuff and figure for
yourself. This is what prominent
mining man says concerning the
great Matte vein.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-02-07

A complete plant of machinery is in use
at the property and everything has been
operated in a safe, economical and conser-
vative manner. The ore houses are filed
with sorters who classify the output into
different grades for shipment and the big
bins represent deposits of thousands of dol
lars. A trip through the property shows
general healthy, business-like and active at
mosphere in everything.
1t is in every respect a great mine and
expansion its paramount theory at the
present time. The time is not far distant
when it will be outputting one third what
the entire district is outputting at the pres
ent time. 1t has passed the passive period
and entered the active. Mines are not
made without the expenditure of capital
and energy. Both of these factors have
contributed their part in a loyal manner
and now the old favorite will begin to re-
turn the gold and silver to those who have
helped to bring success to her,

It Makes But Little Difference.

The old story that the closing down of
any one mine in the district or any two or
three means its ruin is now out of date.
Last year the Stanley closed down as re-
suit of litigation, the Freighters' Friend
and Gem were practically closed down
pending the consolidation of interests aggre-
eating So, 900, 900, the Lamartine cut off
its shipments three fourths on account of
the slnmp in silver and yet the district
showed gain over the previous year of 40
per cent. That is not so bad, is it?

Three months ago Siftings announced
that the Blue Ribbon company would build
a tourist hotel on the hill above the springs.
1t stated that an upraise would be made from
the Bradley tunnel to the hotel and that an
elevator would be run to carry guests of
the hotel and other passengers to the top of
the hill.
Some of the people hooted the idea but
they all admitted that it was practical and
would result in combining the finest hotel
and tourist proposition to be erected in
the city.

Just imagine yourself standing between
two giant walls of granite and porphyry
fully ten feet apart and rearing themselves
above you all most perpendicular and as if
hewn out by the chisel of a sculptor-al-
most as sy1netrical and even as the pillars
of a great temple. Above you between
these great walls you see an immense vein
of mineral. The galena or lead ore glistens
and the iron and minerals of lesser value
seem to speak of gold and silver and the
more precious metals but the latter are hid
den by the baser. 1t is a literal roof of
millions to shelter you and but one thing
would indicate that you was in mine and
not in a great temple and that is that the

that it is a mine.
