Sllverton Standard.
Tho coming summer promises to
be the most prosperous In the history
OF San Juan county. As the spring
approaches mining men. mill men and
prospectors are vigorously preparing
for lively campaign. and mother
earth will be forced to Yield most
plentifully from her buried treasures.
With the opening of tho Silverton
Northern railroad from Eureka to Ami
mas Forks. the mammoth Gold Prince
mill, under the management OF w.
u. Kinney win begin to operate to its
full capacity OF over 500 tons per day
from the product of the Gold Prince
mine which will Yield from so to 100
tons of concentrates per day with an
average value ranging from s75 to
$3.50 per ton.
The Mountain Queen. in which Sen
iitor Guggenheim recently purchased
large interest, has opened up one
of the finest bodies of ore ever dis
covered in the county. will begin max
ing shipments, and the Sunlight and
Bagley tunnel will also become listed
among the heavy shippers OF Anlmas
Forks.
Judge Orr will Mt once begin opera
tons on the San Francisco group and
the Columbine group. and many others
will follow in their wake.
The new Silver Lake mill Is prac-
tically finished and has already begun
to pound out concentrates from the
mines after which It is named.
The Aspen unit OF the mill will he
started In n few days, and from that
time on the new mill will be turning
out the largest product In the his
tory of these heavy producers. The
lowa-Tiger. which, because OF unfa-
yorable smelter conditions. lay idle
for many years. will during the COM
ing season take its old place among
our largest shippers.
Manager Theo. Grabowsky says the
Arpad Mining and Milling company.
which recently purchased the Conten-
ton mill. will join the procession, and
Tom Hennehan, manager Of the Sill
yerton Mining company will likely add
the old North Star to the list
The Detroit and Colorado. with L.
l.. Haines as manager. Is new pro-
ducer of large quantities of rich gray
copper, and Is growing every day.
Under the management OF T. j. Hur-
ley the Precious Metals group and
the Ruby Basin, In which large vein
Of high grade ore was recently en-
| countered, are rapidly rounding into
shape and will be soon occupying
high place in the shipping class. Billy
Sulivan's Bandora will be on hand
| with the rest.
In the Joe and John, Manager r
w. Hollis, one OF the most competent
| judges Of good properties In the west.
| says he has the makings of one OF
| the best ever. Sam Martin Is pushing
the Tom Moore TO the front. and sew
eral other properties In which large
bodies OF both shipping and concen-
trating ore were discovered by the
winters work will add their quota to
the output during the season. Most
OF these mines were not on the ship
ping list of 1906. and even the Gold
Prince. because OF its great increase.
may be properly placed In the large
list of new shippers for 1907. Under
the direction OF Superintendent Ed.
Hudson rapid progress is being made
In the opening OF the Red Mountain
railroad, and this will also bring in
many new shippers which we're open
ed up in that section during the win
! ter months.
In the Yukon tunnel. Col. Lamont
has opened up several large veins OF
rich lead, zinc and copper sulphides
| which run high In gold and silver.
= and he Is preparing for heavy ship
ments
? The product OF all these and some
others which the want OF space pre-
J vents special mention. when added to
I the output OF such old time and we4l
known producers as the Gold King,
under the management of W. z. Kin
ney; the Old Hundred, managed BY
Il. w. Davis. Jr.; the Grand Mogul,
with r. w. Hollis as manager; the
Champion and other properties oper'
ated by the Ross Mining and Milling
company under that hustling mana
ger. J. b. Ross. and many moro. In
a sure such an increase In the produc
ton of 1907 over that OF 1906. ~ te
bear out the truthfulness Of the state
G ment made by the STANDARD In its New
= Years edition, viz: that the otitpu
for the present year would more thas
double that Of 1906.
