from his property on the East Mancos
and departed this morning for Denver
and Cripple Creek. Mr.. Doyle spent
several days at his property. When
seen by "A reporter this morning he
had nothing to say about his claims
or plans Of work. He did say. how
ever, that some new work was being
started up In that section and that
things looked good in general. He
spoke of the Old Kentucky as one OF
the properties which seemed sure to
soon develop into a great shipper. Mr..
Doyle has 300 acres OF patented
ground, ard a few men are kept at
work continually. Considerable ore
has been shipped from time TO time

made with the ore to determine the
most feasible way OF treating II.
Tests are being made In many cities
and with many kinds OF processes.
Mr.. Doyle will find out the most econ
omic process for handling the ore that
IL known at the present time. and
then we may look for things to hum

able to run his mine at profit there
will be many others to open mp and
