itself that remarkable values can be

could take you to those veins already
exposed and show you that we have
enough smelling ore and milling ore
in sight at the present time to make
them profitable shippers. Whether or
not the company will decide to drift
on these veins that have been encoun-
tered, develop them and begin ship
ping at once or not, am not in a posi-
tion to say. In my opinion, however,
it would be much better to proceed
with the work in the tunnel and open
up the other veins that we know are
close to the breast at the present time.
When this is done, then we will know
absolutely what we have, and develop
ment of the veins encountered and
shipment from them can proceed in
definitely. Were l to even hint to you
the amount and value of the ore in the
great bodies already opened, you would
not believe my statement"
This will be exceptionally good news
to the district. The Little Richard
Company is one of the old established
propositions of the Idaho Springs min
ing district 1t was Incorporated under
the laws of this State with capital of
two million shares of the par value of
81 each; the stock is fully paid and
nonassessable and carries no liability
whatever to the purchaser. The laws
of Colorado are most exacting in rela-
tion to mining and the conduct of min
ing companies and were passed with
the view of affording the greatest pos
sible protection to the stockholders of
these companies, whether they be resi-
dent or nonresident.
The company owns eighteen patented
claims BY patented claims We mean

concerning the old properties.
During the past year the resources of
the company, representative as they
were, have been considerably taxed in
the construction of a railroad from the
Denver & Rio Grande into the COM
pany's coal fields in Huerfano county.
These fields are six miles from La Veta
and Denver experts claim that they are
taking out some of the finest coal to
be found in the state The company
owns several hundred acres of this
coal land, and as before stated has
turned its attention solely to getting
road to their mines so as to have a
market for the coal, and also for re-
source of the company to depend upon
in the future. The railroad has been
a very expensive one; it has been built
around and through mountains, and
the road-bed has been blasted out in
most cases. Many substantial bridges
and trestles have been necessary, and
some idea can be gained Of what this
means. when it is taken into considera-
tion that one of these bridges is 100
feet high.
All these developments were con-
Quoted last winter, which was one of
the worst winters in the history of the
state. Now that this task is complete
we can expect to see the company turn

The Idaho Springs district has one
company of state Importance within its
boundaries and has always felt par
donable pride in calling attention to
this fact Reference is made to the
Occidental Development Company.
which has been practically financed by
New England parties, and which has
the famous Fraction and Kittie claims
in this district, extensive mining in
terests in the vicinity of Leadville and
coal and railroad interests in Huerfano
county. Lately the Fraction has pro-
duced over $500, 900 and is unquestion-
ably one of the big propositions of the
district The Kittie is a splendid mine
and will be equally as good a producer
as this; as a matter of fact, a good
sized shipment from the Kittie was run
in the Jackson mill last month and the
returns were in excess of what were
expected.
The company has a fine streak of ore
in the fourth level, running from the
Fraction mine into the Kittie ground,
and in the sixth level, foot of good
ore, partly smelling. has been found.
and it is improving as it is pushed
ahead.
1t is the general opinion that the
which showed up so well on the sur
face. and from which exceptionally rich
values were taken out in years gone
by. The dip of the ore shoot running
from west to east as it goes down in
dicates TO the engineers and surveyors
that this is the case.
The sixth level of the Fraction is
close TO the ore shoot that undoubtedly
goes down and cuts in the Fraction
group with depth, and it is the inten-
tion of the company, so we are in
formed, to push ahead under this pock-
ct of ore far enough to afford them
abundant stopping, and then the Kittie
and Fraction, with their functions and
remarkably rich values, will begin to
show up their real merits. There is
really no question concerning the fu-
ture of this property, as it has been
one of the most efficient so far as the
production is concerned in the Idaho
Springs district. In its history the old
mine has produced its thousands, of
course like all others, a greater por-
tion of the great values is found at
functions, and it would look now that
if the Kittie and Fraction were to be
shown their best that all stopping
of ground in the future will be done
from these functions.
Men have been recently put to work
stoping on the Fraction and the mine
is in good working order development
has been kept clean and in good shape,
and shipments will soon be coming
down the Spring Gulch road from that
property enough to keep one mill busy.
New men will be added from time to
time, and it is the intention of the
company to soon have a large force at
work. and when this condition exists
there can be absolutely no question
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-06-06

in producing values in proportion to
the assays. Reference is made to what
is known as the Little Richard or Lex
ington belt, little over a mile south
of Idaho Springs Forty years ago the
richest float ever found in the district
was brought to the city from that
point, and the shipments in the great
Lexington, the Blizzard, the Little
Richard, the Gomez and other PROPOSE
tions close by, have proved even bet
ter than the results of the assay val
ues. This can probably be attributed
to the fact that values increase with
depth in an especially marked degree
in this locality Where the rich float
is picked up on the surface, develop
ment has proved beyond the question
of a doubt that even better values
can be found as depth is attained.
Less than one month ago a we'll
known mining man in travelling over
the Little Richard territory picked up
a piece of float plainly showing evil
dences of free gold. An assay was
made of this and the returns were
better than $4,000 to the ton. This
was taken from one of the veins that
practically crosses the Little Richard
belt, and as soon as it is reached by
the tunnel it would seem that there
could hardly be a question but what it
would become one of the most remark
able producers of the Idaho Springs
district-probably even more prolific
of rich returns than was the famous
Lexington in its palmiest day
One often hears the inquiry why
is there not more activity in this old,
tried and time proved district" The
answer is plain. For the past thirty
years nearly every foot of available
ground has been taken up in this ter
ritory, and so firm are the holders of
these properties in. the conviction that
they will become producers of rich
values with development, that they
have been held at a price that practi-
cally prohibit their purchase as pros
poets.

The speaker of the Fifty-sevo nth
Congress. David B. Henderson, was the
first to be chosen from the territory
west of the Mississippi.
The first speaker was F. A. Mullen
burg of Pennsylvania. The post of
speaker was held in the Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth Congresses by James
X. POLK, afterward president.
Speakers of the House Of Represen-
tatives who have been candidates for
president are numerous and include
Henry Clay, John Bell and James q.
Blaine. Schuyler Colfax after having
been speaker. was wee president of
the United States.
The Oldest surviving speaker is

The last Democratic speaker.
Charles F. Crisp, was a native of Eng
land. Two surviving speakers, John
G. Carlisle and Thomas B. Reed,
though elected Representatives in
Kentucky and Maine respectively, are
now residents Of the city of New
York
There las never been a speaker
from the Pacific coast and it is a some
what curious circumstance that Ohio.
though pre-eminent in nearly all other
political Offices, has had in the coun-
try's history but one speaker, John w.
Kiefer, who served only single term.
The state of New York has had no
speaker since the close of the Nine
teenth Congress in 1927, though New
York has been, during the whole of
that period, the most populous state
and the one having the largest con-
gressioral representation.
The speaker of the Fifty-eighth con-
gress when chosen will preside over
larger number of Members of Con-
gress than a ~ of his predecessors, the
total membership of the next house
being 3S6.

claim is held by possessory right. This
is the famous Blizzard, which has pro-

with this claim is connected the Biz

the property includes the main double

Blizzard is in 80 feet, and considerable
surface. workings have been made on
the Little Richard, aggregating prob
ably in the vicinity of between 5000
and 1000 feet of actual work The
property is splendidly equipped with
mining machinery, shaft houses and
everything in connection with the big
proposition. is modern and up-to-date
in every sense. The shaft house is a
building 2Sx60 feet, covered with cor
rugated iron. The boarding houses and
bunk houses are completely equipped
with everything necessary and incident
to their operation. The machinery con-
sists of one S0-horse power boiler,
bricked in and well set up; one 40
horse power geared hosting engine;
800 feet of B-inch wire cable; one
11x14 Leyner air compressor: a No. Z
Cameron sinking pump; large skip
car; five ore cars, and four Leynor
power drills. The property is practi-
cally the extension of the old Lexing-
ton mine. and abuts the end lines as
well as the side lines of that old pro-
ducer.
There is little reason for doubt that
during the coming summer some re-
markably rich values will be uncov-
cred in the Little Richard properties,
and the good news may be brought to
the city at any time. The contract has
been let to drive the tunnel 700 feet,
and this means practically the thor
ough and complete opening up of all
the large ore bodies owned by the com
pany.

it's attention to the properties here, and
this will mean a material addition to
the output.
An item of interest in connection
with the property was noted in the
Denver papers some time ago, which
called attention to the fact that an ex-
pert representing the Gould syndicate
had been sent out from New York and
had examined the coal land of the Oc-
cidenta Development Company and
pronounced the the finest in the
state, being of the best quality of coal,
pure veins and practically inexhaust-
ible
1t will be of interest to the people of
Idaho Springs to know this. because
the old Fraction has been greatly
missed in the district, since the force
at work has been cut down. 1t is al
ways glad news to know also that
these great companies in the district
have other large interests in the state
which make them representative of the
great mining industries of the state.
The fact that the Occidental Develop
ment Company now has new resources
from which it can obtain abundant
revenue for the handling of all their
properties, and the developing of them
as they should be developed, is excep-
tionally pleasing.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-06-06

Ono of the most interesting facts
connected with mining in any district
is the ehangeable nature of the pros
pector as well as of the mining man. In
the Idaho Springs district hardly
week passes that in some section some
rich vein is opened up and its values
heralded to the world. AS a rule. the
first statements concerning these prop
ositions are greatly exaggerated. The
term assay may mean a good deal.
The miner picks out a little piece of
ore the size of a hens egg containing
the best showing of mineral. has it as
sayed, and the values run up into
thousands of dollars to the ton. This
statement is brought to the notice of
