A similar chunk from the same vein
was taken to Colorado Springs a few
days ago where it created furore
among mining men.
Several gentlement from Butte,

amazed at the richness of the vein,
which they declared to be equal to
anything in their home state. At that
time development had not disclosed
the real value of this property and it
was extremely difficult to measure
its resources with any degree of ac-

learned and it is far easier to make an

holders and it would not be surprising
IL development established the fact
that II had a mine fully as rich in ore
as the great copper proposition in

Senator Clark, Col Greene and their
associates financial magnates.
The Red Gulch Mining Company is
to a very large extent, at least,
Canon City organization and its prop
erty is located at a point nine miles
north of Cotopaxi in this county. 1t
has long been believed by geologists
and mining prospectors that copper
ore in remunerative quantity did not
exist In Colorado. but the discoveries
at Red Gulch discourage that theory,
in fact, they are likely to prove that
1t is one of the very richest sections
of the country in that class of min

When the company began the ex-
ploitation of its property at Red Gulch
few months ago the ore-bearing
vein was only a few inches wide, but
at depth of ninety feet from the sur
face 1t has expanded to an indefinite
width. a seven-foot shaft failing to
show the walls of the lode on either
side. The quality OF the ore is also
increasing as depth is reached and
huge blocks of 1t running as high as
sixty per cent copper are now being
taken out. A chunk, weighing prob
ably hundred pounds, was brought
down from the mine week ago by
Secretary Barbee and placed on exhi-
hition in the window of E G. Bettis
& Co., on South Fifth street. where 1t
has attracted much attention from
mining men on account of its magnifi-

ness. 1t assays little more than
