COUNTIES,
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 II 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 $1,000
900. During the coming season 1t 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
10000. This year 1t is more than dou-
BILE that number. The effort now being
made to provide a market in Denver
for all the sheep fattened in the state
will still further boom this branch of
the feeding business. as one of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes n heavy shrinkage and
a deterioration in the value of the ami
ma. for slaughtering.

Boulder County Product.

Boulder county'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 leasers. as many
of the mines are conducted on the
leasing basis.
A careful estimate of the gold 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 100000.
so that the gold ani tungsten yield of
this county for r9o5 will total about
sl.O0O.O0O. While. the mining of pre-
cious metals is confined principally to
gold and tungsten some silver is be
ing shipped and if the price of silver
goes much higher many properties now
idle will be worked and will add TO
the output of precious metals.

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, s2.50O.OO0 has been allotted for
the Uncompahgre work. of which more
than 81 600, 900 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
ite.
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 it 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
RADIO territory of from 100000 to 1885,
900 acres of land.

coLcRApo's OIL PRODUCTION.

Coiorados oil output during the year
1905 amounted to 35,OOo,oOO gallons OF
crude oil, or 100000 gallons oil re-
fined oil. :,
The production of the Florence oil
fields amounts TO between $4,000 and
1OO. 900 gallons of crude oil per day, or
between 10000 and 3O,OcY) 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 a great distance makes 1t unproht-
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.

COLORADO MINING DIVIDENDS.

The gsand total of dividends for 1906
from Colorado's mines and placers, as
published in the Denver News. foots
up $15,930.527, gain of $2232,979
compared with 1904, or in excess of
sixteen per cent. The dividend total
for 1905 exceeds twenty-eight per cent.
of the years output from the precious
metal mines. This figure COM
pares with 29.G per cent. in 1904,
twenty-six per cent. in 1908 and 1902,
with twenty per cent. in 1901, with
twenty-eight per cent. in 1900, with
twenty-four per cent. n-1S99 and TWEEN

Mining Notes.

Boulder county is developing some
fine mineral mines and outputted ore
to the value of 100000.
The production of the United States
Zinc Company at Pueblo for the year
was 6.544 tons of metallic zinc, valued
at s752,560.
The zinc production of the state for
the year is valued at s4,1O5,300. The
output for 1904 was valued at s3,564.-
80.
During the year the Camp Bird mine
at Ouray yielded its owners profit
of $1.75O.000. Thomas F. Walsh re
ceived in royalties this year $36S,475.
Ouray county's ore production for
the year was worth $3.327 900. 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 $4,000 900 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. ii
will supply light and power to many
mines.
Lake county still holds its place for
heavy production since it was opened
as a camp. In twenty-six years it has
produced s32S457.146 worth of pre-
cious metals. This year it outputs 3d.
224,00O worth. Pretty boomy sort OF
camp for an old-timer.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing Company treated at its five Colo
RADIO smelters the enormous amount OF
1926, 900 tons of ore. In 1904 the ton
mage was 1,133, 900. The mills of the
United States Reduction and Refining
Company treated 29s,000 tons of ore.
The metal ore tonnage of the state
now closely approaches the 2,000,0Ou
mark.

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 en-
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-fiye per cent.
more TO its growers than did the 1904
crop. twenty per cent. of which was
lost for want of 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 s2.O00.0O0 and there is Il
prospect of an advance in price before
the crop is sold. adding half-million
to this. The crop is of superior quail.
ity and the potatoes of uniform size,
smooth and fully matured. and conse'
quently they will keep well.
This fall few of the growers, who
have no convenient place tolstokes the IL
potatoes, sold from the field RECEIVING
from 60 cents to 81 hundred pounds
clearing from 25 cents to Go cents O
hundred. Many stored their crop. con
fident that the market price, which is
now 20 cents hundred, will advance
in the spring and that they will be
amply repaid for the increased laDoi
of storing which always necessitates
resorting before the potatoes are
placed on the marke.
The crop was 1000 carloads more
than was anticipated. Heavy rains fol
lowed by hot weather packed the sol
in the spring and prevented norma
growth at that time. Blight attacked
the vines later. However. the abun
dance of water. the absence of hail ant
the long growing season counteracteo
these drawbacks.
In the states of Wisconsin, Michi
gan. Illinois and Iowa, whose potato
crops compete with that of Colorado
the yield was below normal and of in
ferior quality. which assures the Colo
RADIO farmer of steady demand and &
good market.

coIorado's Fame Spreading.

Colorado has 66.50O,00O acres Of
land. and only 100000 acres are un-
der cultivation of any kind. There are
25.50O farms and ranches in the state
of Colorado. With her agricultural
exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition held at St. Louis in 1904.
the state of Colorado captured 62G
prizes and medals. These GIG prizes
were out of a total of 767 prizes of all
kinds granted to the state in depart
ments nf industry. At the Lewis and
Clark Exposition at Portland. held in
the summer just past. 1905. the Colo
RADIO agricultural exhibition received
265 gold, l43 silver. sixty-nine bronze
medals and forty-four honorable men
tions The appropriation for the pur-
pose was very small and the exhibit
tion was composed of scientifically
selected collection of dried grains and
grasses.
The Lamar register., 1906-01-03

One Of the largest crops of potatoes
in northern Colorado was grown by A.
b. McClave on the George Adams
ranch. forty miles east of Greeley. near
Grover. Fifteen thousand sacks of po-
tatoes were taken from 100 acres. forty
acres of which yielded 220 sacks an
acre.
The 5. l.. and w. ranch. nine miles
east of Greeley. yielded 10000 sacks of
potatoes from 800 acres. In the Lone
Tree district, seven miles east OF Gree,
ley, Peter Brown. Jr.. harvested 4,SO0
sacks from seventy acres. NJ. Johnson's
potatoes went 125 sacks TO tine acre,
and +. a. Bronson dug 5000 sacks
Z. Robb harvested 125 sacks an acre
Greeley, gathered 15G sacks from each
of forty acres.
This year there were three harvests
of potatoes. First came the Early
| Ohios, gathered in July and grown
near Peckham. La Sale and Big Bend
crop Late in the summer, blight
killed The vines in some sections
which caused the tubers to ripen and
the digging of these made the second
harvest.
| The blighted potatoes were not as
large as they would have been had
they grown three weeks longer, but
and brought profitable prices.

coIorado's Wheat Yield.

Three hundred thousand acres of
wheat. Yielding an average of twenty
eight bushels to the acre. is the esti-
mated product in that great cereal for
Colorado the past year. The estimates
are made at the Agricultural college
from such data as they have been able
to secure. This is total of 100000
bushels An average price for wheat
was So cents on December 18th, and
this gives a total value to the crop of
