coLoRADo's OIL PRODUCTION.

Colorado's oil output during the year
1905 amounted to 35,00O,OOO gallons of
crude oil, or 100000 gallons of re-
fined oil.
The production of the Florence oil
fields amounts to between $4,000 and
100000 gallons of crude oil per day, or
between 10000 and 10000 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-fonrth 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 unprofit-
able to work these fields. The Moffat
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 this work will be
the Gunnison tunnel, the longest and
most wonderful of its kind in the coun-
try and probably in the world.
In all, s2,500,000 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.

1t will be 10000 feet long and nat.
ural difficulties apparently insurmount,

1t is complete, which is expected to be

Mining Notes.

BOULDER county is developing some
fine mineral mines and outputted ore
to the value OF $l,O00.000.
The production of the United States
Zinc Company at Pueblo for the year
was 6.544 tons of metallic zinc. valued
ut s752.560.
The zinc production OF the state for
the year is valued at $4.105,300. The
output for 1904 was valued at $3,564,-
$40.
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,4T5.
Ouray county's ore production for
the year was worth s3,327.000. Great
tunnel enterprises near Ouray prom
ise n big increase in the ore production
for the new year.
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
come up smiling again this year with
over $6,000,000 product In the precious
metals. They have been mined for
over forty years and have not us yet

Stock Feeding in Colorado.

The stock feeding industry in Colo
RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years. but in no
previous year has the advancement
been so marked as in the year just
ended. The phenomenal advance in
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business that
promises to last. Last year it is esti
mated that close TO a million sheep
and lambs were turned out of Colorado
feed lots. 1t is believed that during
the present season the number will
exceed 100000. The profits last sea-
son to the feeders was close to 81 ,000,-
900. During the coming season it is
hoped that the profits will be as large,
but the increased price paid for the
sheep and lambs on the range, makes
this problematical. Thus far, condi-
tions in the feed lots have been ideal.
Prices on the market are higher than
ever and give every promise of contin-
uing. If they do, the profits will be
fully as large as last year.
The greatest advance in sheep feed
ing has been in the San Luis valley.
A year ago the number of sheep on
feed in that section was estimated at
iovsVuu- year IL Is ludli uCu-
BILE that number. The effort now being
made to provide market in Denver
for all the sheep fattened in the state
will still further boom tbs branch of
the feeding business, as one of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes heavy shrinkage and
a deterioration in the value of the ami
