The continued rise in the price
of lead, copper and zinc assures US
OF a renewal of mining in this and
other sections Of the state. This
is already seen in the increased
product at Leadville where the ton
mage last month reached over 5000

a broad guage line through Taylor

Ruby-Anthracitc.

The rotary snow plow began
opening the road to the Ruby-An-
thracite mine on the first, and the
big plant will soon be producing
more coal than ever. 1t is under
stood that there will be no more
winter shut downs hereafter. The
superiority of this coal and the in
creasing demand for it will GER
tainly warrant the additional ex-
pense of snow shedding such por-
tions of the road as shall be re-
quired for continued winter ship
ments. The past winter has been
OF exceptional severity, notwith-
standing which the mine continued
its regular output and maintained
its shipments until past midwinter.
With q comparative small addition
al expense of the shut down and
starting up the mine should con-
tinue operations the year round.
It il reported that the past seasons
development has opened a large
vein of coal and that there is a
larger area of excellent coal open
ed than has been hitherto exposed
in the property;
The extent of6ur coal lands are
scarcely recognized by the people
in this county although we have
been producing for over twenty
years and the coke oven fires have
burned Increasingly. The percent
age of exhaustion is as but drop
from the full bucket as compared
with the mountains of coal that ex-
tend from here to the valley of the
North Fork country in continuous
unbroken lines. We predict that
the present century will not wit
ness Che failure or exhaustion of
these immense deposits and gen.
erations will come and go while
millions of tons are being produced
supporting a more numerous pop
rlation than any other county in

when Howard F. Smith, the man
ager of the Iowa Smelling Co., To-
Gated and christened the town.
The company had the previous
year decided to go into smelling
business in Colorado and the Lead
vile and Gunnison sections were
chosen as the most desirable points
of operation.
The discovery of excellent cox
ing coal at the foot of the Elk
Mountain range and also the open
ing up of great many veins and
ore deposits in. the immediate vi
cinity of the coal deposits and also
the presence of lime lodges and
iron carbonates for proper fiuxing
decided the location and origin of
Crested Butte. The primary OBJ
ject was the selection of the most
desirable point in Gunnison county
and the Western Slope for the es-
tablishment of a permanent smelt-
ing and ore reduction plant and
after many months of deliberation
this was the chosen point and the
coal locations were bought from
the original discoverers, the Jen-
nigs Bros. and Capt Bum, the
town located and operations begun.
Original wagon roads were laid out
and opened between here and Gun
nison and the first saw-mill i'm
ported via Saguche into the county
by this company who inaugurated
the first enterprise of Importance
for Gunnison county and whose
subsequent operations led largely
to the opening of the coal and 9TH
er mines of the county and the
building of the railroad into the
country and the boom that followed
1t would seem that during the rush
of 10 and 80 and the craze over
townsite locations and the big sale
oflots in the new town the proposed
smelling point at Crested Butte,
the original idea of smelling and
reducing ores, was lost sight of by
the company while promoting the
town site scheme and the fires were
never kindled in the furnaces and
the entire plant was allowed to go
to ruin and decay.
After nearly quartet of cent
ury of growth and development the
fact remains as pertinent as at the
beginning that there is no more
ideal location for the establishment
of smelling and ore reduction
works than is offered at Crested
Butte. In fact we believe the time
is now ripe for the successful pro-
motion and operation of large
proposition of this character. The
extended development of the years
past have proven to satisfaction
that the ore bodies are here in
quantity and quality and that the
variety of ores and their compost
tion are fully adapted to sustain a
smelling plant here. The question
might come up as to what ores are
requisite to operate modern
smelling or reduction plant? We
shall endcavor in later article to
answer fully what is necessary and
how and where it may be obtained
in our own Elk Mountain mining
district
