From Georgetown.
GEORGETOWN, Colo, july IS, 100

GEORGETOWN. Colo, JULY 29, 1908.
This has been a lively summer up here
in old Georgetown. For years there has
not been so much improvement goiug on.
The town is being repainted and the peo-
pie are becoming enthused and putting
on city airs. A building boom has struck
the town. The recent rich strikes have
awakened the people and eastern capital
is coming in and taking hold of our rich
mines.
The recent strike of over IS, 900 ore in
the st. Paul mine has caused big boom
for our camp and large force of men will
be employed upon the mine, which has
produced its millions.
A big strike of galena ore has been
made in the Vidler tunnel, which event
ually is intended to build a new railroad
to connect Georgetown and Leadville.
Hood & Kelly have opened up big
body of ore on Democrat mountain and
are threatened with big mine.
The Doric Gold Mining company will
start up work on their mines, on Saxon
mountain, this week.
The Griffith mine has opened up four
feet of solid ore that mills over $500 per
ton in gold, silver, copper and lead.
Jake Whittier has fine group of five
claims, of which the Whittier shows up
an I8-inch vein that mills over SOL per
ton. His Dollie Warden mine has Ii in.
of ore that mills SS7 per ton in gold and
silver, while his Battle Axe runs $500.
The Magnet mine is shipping ore that
mills $500 per ton.
The Georgetown Mines company has
cut into fine body of ore that mills 5000
per ton, mostly gold ore.
A. H. Colburn has opened up a large
vein of mineral in the Sporting Times
and that will run up into the hundreds
We are glad to see our mines coming to
the front. ~

Clarence Stevens, accompanied by his
brother Melvin, arrived in camp last
Monday afternoon from East Lee, Mass,
and have put in the time for a week in
examing the mines in the Banner district
just west of town. Mr.. Stevens is one of
the most extensive mine owners in the
county owning thirty eight patented lode
claims and dozen or more that are not
patented, but which he will put in shape
for patent at once, embracing over $50
acres. All of this interest is grouped in
the Banner district aud comprise some of
the best mineral ground in the west. 1t
has been six years since Mr.. Stevens was
here, and during this time but little work
has been done on the property. The
shaft on the Oregon has caved to a con-
siderable extent and work will be COM
menced at once repairing the damage
and it will be retimbered throughout its
entire length. The shaft is now I65 feet
in depth, but a contract has been let to
sink to depth of 600 feet and work will
be pushed as fast as possible under the
direction of Tom Barnard. They have a
fine showing of lead in view, of an aver
age width of three feet, but no effort has
been made to ship any of it, prefering to
wait until depth increases the quality
and values. Mr.. Stevens does not con-
fine his mining interests to Clear Creek
county but has valuable claims in the
zinc fields of Missouri and Mexico, in
the gold belt of California, in the silver
fields of Nevada, lead mines of Montana
and copper in Wyoming. He looks upon
his Banner claims as the most promising
of any and predicts great activity in that
section within year.

Albert Hall has resumed work at his
Tolland County tunnel proposition, the
present operations consisting in starting
a level upon the Tolland County lode,
which was cut by the tunnel some dis
tance back from the heading. There is a
large streak of mineraiized quartz to be-
gin with. test assay of the concen
trates showed values as follows: IL ozs.
gold, 10 ozs, silver and "a per cent. lead.
This is good showing and denotes that
the solid ore will be very acceptable at
the smelters Aside from the work upon
the Tolland county, driving will soon be
resumed in the breast Of the tunnel, as
Mr.. Hall is very anxious to reach the
Gov. Bulkeley and Union vein, 15o feet
distant. This is one of the Big vein of
that hill and the owner confidently
counts upon good returns when the lode
is properly opened. The Tolland County
is very important tunnel undertaking L
has been for years the ambition of Mr..
Hall to carry the project through, as it is
the key TO the big assures that course
through Lamartine hill. Within the
5000 feet will be cut at depth the Chlor-
ide, Pulitzer and other well-known and
rich properties. Mr. Hall has some fine
specimens of gray copper and native sill
yer ore taken out of one of his mines on
the line of the tunnel.

The Ward lode. owned byJ. G. Roberts,
has been sunk to the depth OF 10 feet
and there is lot of fine looking mineral
on the dump, the major portion being
concentrating The owner proposes to
put the whole output through his mill to
ascertain the exact value, and if satisfact-
ory, of which there is no doubt, he thinks
of building a mill below the dump to run
the product of that lode and of a 2o-ft
cross vein. The Ward runs principally
in gold, and the other has values in both
gold and silver that indicate wonderful
mine This property is evidently the
source of the deposit of gold in the Ed
wards placer. The site for the proposed
mill is ideal.

ABOUT
MINING AND
MILLING II ~


Manager Davidson, of the Standard
company, reports most satisfactory pro
gress on his group of claims and all the
men at work that can be handled to a
good advantage. Eighteen are now em-
ployed regularly and more will be put on
in the very near future. A recent
accident to the crusher seriously crippled
the work for few days this week, but
this has now been repaired and work re-
surned An unusally rich streak of mill
of production will be materially increased.
We are pleased to see bv this weeks
correspondence from Georgetown, that
A. H. Colburn of this city has "struck it
rich" in the Sporting Times, almost
within the corporate limits of George
town. "Feyther" Colburn has held onto
that group for years and we rejoice with
him in his prosperity. While Mr.. Col
burn is reticent as to the ore body that
the correspondent mentions, still it is no
secret that the Sporting Times is one of
the really big propositions in Griffith dis
trict, being bounded on the west by the
Colorado Central and Equator group and
on the east by the extension of the Comet
Over year ago parties worked the mine
under lease and bond At least $4,000
was expended in driving upon a cross
vein, the object being to cut the Sporting
Times at depth and under pocket from
which thous tnds of dollars had been
taken in earlier days. Mr.. Colburn is
drifting on the Highline lode and cross
cutting south for the Sporting Times at
a point 967 feet in and at a depth of $40
fest from the surface.

What promises to be one of the most

made in the old Silver Ring mine, situate
in Eclipse gulch. Some time since A. E.

upon the property and sank 65-ft shaft
at the mouth of the lower or main adit
Hitherto the mine had been worked
through surface tunnels, and the total
production has been very satisfactory.
Straub & Co.'s purpose has been to get
under the pocket that realized so nicely
for He'll Bros. years ago. In sinking the
shaft Cornish pump was used to handle
the water. A drift was run east 4s feet
and the breast has opened into a six-inch
streak that runs ozs. gold and over 200
ozs. silver per ton. Tho Ring can now
be counted on for steady production.

that the only way to make mine was to
develop it, and has proceeded to do so.
A large and commodious shaft house has
been erected and fine plant of machin-
cry placed. The shaft has been retim-
bered from top to bottom and two shifts
are regularly employed. Mr.. O'Brien is
also sinking a new shaft to the east of
the main one, it being the intention to
connect the two, thereby insuring good
ventilation. Some very fine ore has al

some very good ore and there ISM doubt
that in a short time the St. Joseph will
