I'M IS PROFITABLE.
LITTLE MATTE NINE STEADILY SHIP
PING LARGE TONNAGE
MANY IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY
DR.. ABBOTT PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK
AS WORK PROCEEDS

DIR. w. c. Abbott, of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Little Matte company, has
been in this city and district during the
week, consulting with the manager and
inspecting the mine and mill owned by
the company. That he was fully satisfied
with operations and the prospects for the
future, is attested by the closing of
contract for the construction Of mile OF
power pipe line, "a inches in diameter. to
be installed at once, and asking for plans
for test cyanide plant. TO supplement
the company's concentrating mill, which
has recently been re-arranged and is one
of the most complete III this section.
Things at the Little Matte never
looked better. The tram from the mine
to the mill is being rapidly constructed,
preparatory to economically handling the
large bodies of milling and concentrating
material in the mine. For some time
different sets of leasers in the mine have
been shipping high-grade ore to the
smelters. and with every step of develop
ment there is steady Improvement.
1t is estimated that the new power
plant will increase the productive capa-
city of the property at least as per cent
with the same expense. This is an I'M
| portant item, as at that rate the line will
soon pay for itself.
The new cyanide testing plant is de-
signed for the treatment of the shines
from the mill. such process has proven
very satisfactory at the Ward mine. OF
this city. and there is every reason tor
believing that the Little Matte product
is equally ameuable to the process. If
such proves to be the case. the possibili-
ties of the property will be greatly en-
HANGED.
When the present company took hold
of the Little Matte, the mine vas in bad
shape, due to having lain idle for long
period. 1t had an excellent record, how
ever, and that combined with the fact
that the development was comparatively
superficial, led to the purchase Of the
property. and later on TO the acquisition
OF adjacent claims. so that today the Lit
tie Matte company can boast of a min
eral estate second in richness and possi-
bili,ies to none in Northern Colorado.
The work Of nnwatering the main shaft
and the thousands of feet of levels and
Slopes. was energetically prosecuted.
1t was found that much cleaning out oi
debris and retimbering was necessary to
admit of the inauguration of the cam
paign of development mapped out by
Manager Leebrick. The result has borne
out every claim made by the company.
While the property, as we have stated,
is looking hnely, greater things are in
store in the line Of production, in the
saving of values, and in obtaining tile
best results at minimum cost

Wants Heavy Damages,

On Wednesday of this week, suit was

A Georgetown Emporium.

Georgetown is to have palatiai dry
goods emporium. Samuel Strousse. who
recently spent several months in New
York City, has for some time been con-
ferring with Phil. Fillius Of Georgetown
as to the very lowest cost of construction
of sky scrapers. The latter has prepared
several plans and estimates, ranging from
ten stories down, and Mr.. Strousse has
taken the entire bunch under advise
ment. The location Of the structure will
be on the southeast corner of Rose and
9th streets. on lots owned by Mr..
Strousse. and ground will be broken for
the foundation in the near future. The
ground floor fronts on both streets will be
solid French plate glass, which will ad-
nit Of Emil exercising his known artistic
taste in window decoration. The upper
Aoors will be occupied by the George
town board Of mines and different mining
companies. The new building will be =
marked improvement to the principal
business corner of Georgetown. and un-
is the precursor of Others.
Like Idaho Springs. Georgetown sadly
needs the tearing down of few unsightly
business shacks. to be replaced BY up-to-
dste structures.

Brook Fry for Edith.

A consignment OF twenty cans, con-
tanning, 100 900 brook trout fry, was re-
ceived Yesterday morning by the Lake
Edith association and was taken to the
the lake by J. J. Sherwin and r. B. Nor
ton. The fry came from the government
fish hatchery at Leadville, which is
the largest in the United States and prob
ably in the world. and was the asso-
cations share of the spawn furnished
from Lake Edith last November. Great
care must be taken with the young fish
in placing them in the waters of the
lake, as any sudden change in temper
ature would kill them. They are
usually placed in shallow water where
they take their chances with the big fish
in the lake who are all cannibals, and
have no compunction about eating a
dozen or so small trout If they can catch
them, in which respect they are very
much like the average angler. The
spawn taken from the lake, last
November, WAS taken at the expense of
the Lake Edith association by the gov
ernment representative of the fish bur-
eau-in the nature Of an experimental
being question. as to whether the fish
in the lakes could be caught in suffi-
cient numbers for their spawn to jus.
tify the expense.
Lake Edith is owned by an association
comprising sixteen members, and it Is a
private fishing preserve, and with the ex-
ception of Naylor Lake. the only one in
the county. The lake has been regu-
larly stocked from year to year, and the
fishing cannot be excelled in any simi.
lar lake in the state.

Isl IN COMMISSION
CYANIDE PLANT At TIE WARD MILL
COMPLETES FIRST RUN
sAvIMs EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
SUCCESS ATTAINED IN cyANipiNc SUI
pHIpE ohEs IN QUANTITY

That there is no longer any question in
regard to the successful application of the
@cyanide process in the treatment of the
sulphide ores of Clear Greek county, is
demonstrated by the results obtained in
Abe cyanide section OF he Ward mill in
Che test completed this week. One hun
red and four tons OF raw iron and lead
koncentraies, containing gold and silver
values of Sr6 So per ton, after nine days
zof teaching. during which time the con-
sumption of cyanide was "a pounds per
: ton, showed an extraction Of 74.3 per
have been greater. but the Concentrates
were partially oxidized from long expo
sure to the air. The laboratory tests.
which have been made by a nlmber of
experts. have shown that a practically
complete saving can be made.
Yesterday morning the tsiiings which
have been running to waste into Chicago
Greek were turned into The tanks for
freatment with cyanide solutions The
tailings carry from o6c TO s. So per ton.
and extensive tests have shown that
nearly complete saviag OF values can
be made at a cost not exceeding csc per
ton. II will only be necessary TO allow a
contact Of ,6 hours with the solution.
and the consumption of cyanide will
amount to less than one pound per ton.
In the mill the ore is crushed to 3o-
mesh. and two ounces Of gold are cleaned
ditiou to this, five tons OF Concentrates
are saved which carry values of from s 4
TO SIS per ton.
As the open-cut levels are extended
into the mountain, depth is gained ard
there has been a Constant increase in the
value of the ore exposed.

Mi.s<ll Back from Tonopah.

Phillip Mixseli returned Monday from
a visit to Tonopah and Goldheld. Neva-
da, which places made great impression
upon him. He states that the reports OF
rich ore are not exaggerated, apd that in
one stamp mill in Tonapah which he
visited they had to stop every two hours
to clean up the plates. and then sacked
up the tailings. from which they re-
ceiyed from $500 to $500 per ton. Mr..
Mixell went in the interest of some
Denver capitalists in the capacity of an
expert. and would remain. but that his
interests here require his entire atten-

Crea Correspondence.

MR. EDITOR Not having seen any
thing of late in your columns in regard
to the Middlebury Cooperative Creamery
association, we may be pardoned for
asking space to say few words through
your valuable paper. On Monday Feb.
10. we held our annual meeting and
elected the following directors in the
order named: Ira l.. Hamblin, G. II,
Reese, G.. A. Philips, Harry Hunt, and
+. f. Foote.
We must confess to having felt little
sensitive in regard to the result Of the
meeting last july. Now we wish to say
through the columns OF the Register that
we feel very grateful to the Creamery
association for their practical vindica-
ton of at least my good intentions in
management Of creamery affairs. as
was elected without opposition and en-
tirely without solicitation on my part
On Feb. II the directors held meeting
for organization We secured what we
consider the efficient services of John H.
Stewart as secretary for the coming year
The writer was chosen president with
Mr.. Reese as vice-president However,
after mature consideration we have de-
cided to step out at our next monthly
directors meeting and have some one
else fill the presidents chair. We do this
not on account of any waning interest or
any friction among the board of direct
ors. On the contrary, the best of feeling
prevails. The question is simply this:
The honor of being president of the
creamery association rightfully belongs
to another. We take an optomistic view
of creamery matters and shall retain our
place among the board of directors and
use our best judgement in working for
the interest of both patron and stock
holder, and predict the most prosperous
year in our history. IRA L. HAMBLIN.
