papers and the people talk more about
the Idaho Springs district than any other

ket bad set back so far as the Cripple
Creek district is concerned and the operators
from that city are all pulling up stakes and
moving to the oldest district in the state

the state to take advantage of the improved
methods of treatment. There can be no
chance for doubt that it is all amenable to
the same treatment that the ore of other
districts would be- A sulphide is admittedly
the easiest of the ores to handle. We have
a very small per cent of copper and it is
difficult to see why the methods of treat
ment have been held back as they have in
the past.
During the coming year we expect to see
new plants installed for treating these ores
and as soon as the start is made we trust
that there will be abundant energy shown
in making them a success.
Any camp in the state can treat lower
grade of ore than Idaho Springs and there
is no camp in the state that has the same
tonnage of the ore ready for treatment.
Why not begin to work in the direction
of the more successful treatment of the ores
of the district? Let the people know that
the real opening in the district lies not only
in the mining of the high grade ore but in
the mining of the low grade as well.
