coIoRApo'S OIL PRODUCTION.

colorado's oil output during the year
1895 amounted TO 35,o0o.o00 gallons OF
crude oil. or l0,00o.00U gallons OF re
fined oil.
The production OF the Florence Oh
fields amounts to between $1,000 ano
100000 gallons of crude oil per day. or
between 10000 and 30 coo gallons OF
the refined product Many new wells
are being sunk in this district. and
the indications are that the output Will
be greatly increased. as the supply
seems practically inexhaustible.
Boulder county is the second OIL
county in the state, and produced about
one-third as much oil as the Florence
fields. There is small independent
refinery at Boulder which handles
about one-fourth OF the crude output.
The remainder is sent to the Florence
refinery, which plant is controlled by
the oil trust
Routt county. in the northwestern
part of the state. has many good OIL
prospects, but the fact that the crude
oil would have to be carted in wagons
for great distance makes it unpront-
able to work these fields. The Monat
road, now being built from Denver to
Salt Lake City, will open this section
of the state. and the prospects will be
converted into producing wells as soon
as the railroad is completed far enough
to handle the crude article.

Great Gunnison Tunnel.

Colorado in the past year. has seen
the beginning OF what will be the
greatest irrigation project in the state,
in the Uncompahgre valley. The most
important feature of thfs work will be
the Gunnison tunnel. the longest and
most wonderful of it's kind in the coun-
try and probably in the world.
In all. $500 900 has been allotted for
the Uncompahgre work, of which more
than 81 100000 will be expended.in the
tunnel. The latter is now driven one
and one-fourth miles through the heart
OF the Rocky mountains, the bore
piercing gravel. shale, adobe and gran
lite.
1t will be 10000 feet long and nat
ural difficulties apparently insurmount
able will have to be overcome before
it Is complete which is expected to be
in the fall of 1908. When this magnifi-
cent engineering feat is accomplished
and 1t is now progressing In a way
that indicates it will be finished in ac-
cordance with the most sanguine ex
pectations. it will reclaim for Colo
rado territory Of from 100000 to $780,
900 acres of land.

Mining Notes.

Boulder county is developing some
fine mineral mines and outputted ore
to the value of $1,000 900.
The production of the United States
Zinc Company at Pueblo for the year
was 6.544 tons of metallic zinc, valued
at s752,5G0.
The zinc production OF the state for
the year is valued at s4lO5 800. The
output for 1904 was valued at So, SCI
80.
During the year the Camp Bird mine
at Ouray yielded its owners profit
of s1,750,000. Thomas f. Walsh re
ceived in royalties this year $36s. .475.
Ouray county's ore production for
the year was worth s3.327 900. Great
tunnel enterprises near Ouray prom.
Use big increase in the ore production
for the new year.
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
come up smiling again this year with
over s6,000,000 product in the precious
metals. They have. been mined for
over forty years and have not AS yet
been scratched.
San Juan mines increased their out
put last year about twelve per cent
Many milling enterprises are being un
dertaken near Silverton and one OF
the largest power plant projects in the
state is approaching completion 1t
will supply light and power to mary
mines.

Boulder County Product.

Boulder connty's mining Industries
EXPANDED during the last five months.
The mines near jamestown are con-
stant shippers. as are those OF Spring
dale, Rowena sunshine, Gold Hill, Sa'
lima. Magnolia. Ward, Eldora, Arapa-
hoe Peak. Crisman. Wall street and
the Sugar Loaf sections. In all OF
these the owners of the mines are do
ing well. as are the ieasers, as many
OF the mines are conducted on the
leasing basis.
A careful estimate Of the goi3 out
put alone places the yield for 1905 at
upwards of 100000.
The tungsten deposits in this county.
which have been exposed. are i'm
portant. A careful investigation
places the tungsten output at $500 200.
so that the gold and tungsten yield of
this county for 1905 will total about
81 600. 900. While the mining Of pre-
cious metals is confined principally To
gold and tungsten, some silver is be-
ing shipped and IL the price Of silver
goes much higher many properties now
idle vii. be worked and will add to
the output Of precious metals.

Northern Colorado Potatoes.

The potato crop of northern Colo
rado for 1905 is estimated at 10000
carloads, which is twenty-five per cent.
less than that of last year. which ex-
ceeded in quantity all previous potato
crops in this section. While this
years crop is 1000 carloads short OF
the crop of last year, in all probability
it will bring seventy-fve per cent.
more to its growers than did the 1904
crop, twenty per cent. of which was
lost for want of a market, while much
of the crop brought prices far less
than the actual cost of production.
1t Is safe to say that this years crop
represents 100000 and there is
prospect Of an advance in price before
the crop is sold. adding half-million
to this. The crop is OF superior quar-
ity and the potatoes OF uniform size,
smooth and fully matured, and conse-
quently they will keep we'll.
This fall few of the growers. VINO
have no convenient place to store their
potatoes, sold from the field, receiving
from 60 cents to 81 q hundred pounds,
clearing from Is cents to IS cents a
hundred. Many stored their crop, con-
fident that the market price, which Is
now 20 cents q hundred. viii advance
~ the spring and that they will be
al4ply repaid for the increased labor
Of storing which always necessitates
reserting before the potatoes are
placed On Tie market

coiorado's Fame Spreading.

Colorado has 66,500.000 acres OF
land. and only 100000 acres are un

of Colorado. With her agricultural
exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition held at st. Louis in 1901,
the state of Colorado captured 626
prizes and medals. These GIG prizes
were out of total of 7G7 prizes Of all
kinds granted to the state in depart.
ments of industry. At the Lewis and
