CONTRACTS ARE LET.
For the Hauling Of the Peach
Valley Iron 0re.-To Ship
100 Tons a Day.

The Colorado Fuel & Iron company
have not only decided to work the iron
deposits in Peach Valley, but the con-
tracts have already been let for mining,
hauling and loading the ore on the cars.
H. H. Wolbert, cashier at the Farmers
& Merchants bank, of this place, has
been awarded the contract for the
handling of the output which will be
shipped at the rate of 100 tons per day.
About twenty teams will be used to
haul the ore to the siding at Read
from where it is to be shipped to the
Minnequa works of the C. F. & !. COM
pany at Pueblo. L. L. Harding, of
Canon City. has been here for several
days getting things in proper shape for
the working of this property and it is
through him that Mr.. Wolbert secured
the contract for: handling the output.

Read by the d. & r. G. railroad. This
is about five miles from the iron beds
and makes a down hill haul most of the
way. Experts of the company claim
that there is 500, 600 tons of this ore in
sight. Most of the work will be given
to people in this section and it is esti-
mated that payroll of about 5000
per month will be disbursed monthly to
the employees. This property is owned
by S. A. Boycc. S. I. and Millard
Fairlamb and l.. r. Wigram. Mr..
Boyce, who located this property and
who formerly looked after it, will be
released from the work entirely, Mr..
wolbert assuming full control and in
tends to push the work - rapidly -
possible.
S. A. Boycc aod L. L. Harding have
located trlct consisting Of $50 acres
more of this iron land that shows up
well.
1t is figured that it will take from
eight to ten years to use up this body
Of ore. consequently it will furnish the
best and most permanent payroll Of
any enterprise heretofore operated in
this section.
