According to authentic history the
Tooth anniversary of Houlton, which
has been referred to as coming during
the present year, is not the anniversary
of the founding of the town, but of the
first settlement in the Academy Grant

Auril, 1907, James HOulton and his
family left New Salem. and embarked
at Boston for their new home in the
northern woods. They came by water
to St. John and then up the river and
landed at Woodstock, where he left his
wife and small children and with the
older boys they came across to the
Academy Grant, on lot IA, which was
Just this side Of the present Cook $
Brook, where the small crop was
put in. and in August of the same year
his wife and children started from
Woodstock with Amos Putnam as
guide, and then was begun the first
settlement of the town of HOultOn.

Newhouse Tunnel Connection.

Manager Kimball of the Old Town
Consolidated Mining Company, and
the Hot Time Transportation Drainage
4 Tunnel Company, reports that con
nection was made on the Sth inst. at
the bottom of the Old Town shaft in
Russell gulch with the Hot Time lat
eral from the Newhouse tunnel at a
depth of $3.50 feet The connection
was made with the lateral 4,326 feet
from the Newhouse tunnel a total dis
tance of 1926 feet, or more than 3.6
miles from the mouth of the tunnel at
Idaho Springs.
A bulkhead is being put in which
precludes an examination being made
for day or so. but the miners at work
in the shaft reported a streak of is
inches of good looking ore showing
the continuity of the Old Town vein.
The Old Town shaft is now next to
the deepest shaft in Gilpin county the
California being 2.23l feet vertical and
the deepest gold mine shaft in the
state. The Old Towp is an incline.
The connection between the Old Town
and the lateral means a future econ

of the tonnage from the property in

as the drainage of the water in the

Quicksilver Production.

The production Of quicksilver in the
United States in 1906 was 26.23S TASKS
of IS pounds each, valued at $95S,b34 as
compared with 30451 TASKS, valued AZ
81. .120, in 1905, a decrease in quau-
tity of 4,213 TASKS and in value OF Sl44..
4SG. OF the total product, California
furnished 20,310 TASKS, valued at $3.50.
sos; Texas, 4,761 TASKS, valued ar
sl7S,S29; Utah, 1,1G4 TASKS. valued at
$4S,SSS; and Oregon, 3 TASKS, valued at
$l09 The decrease was due to the
great falling off-more than 4.00n
fiasks-in the output OF the California
mines, as the Texas producers made g.
small gain and those of Utah a some.
what greater one.
The domestic production nearly
equaed the domestic consumption and
exports decreased considerably. The
decrease in domestic demand IS due
largely to the adaptation of other pro-,
cesses than amalgamation for the rel
covery of the precious metals; The de-
crease in exports is ascribed to the
fact that Mexico, which formerly i'm.
ported much quicksilver from this
country, at present not only supplies
its own needs but exports about 1870
metric tons, and also to the fact tnat
the company that controls the industry
refused to accept bid of $50 a flask

news FROM iHE MINES AND MILLS
Cripple Creek Looking Up.

The prediction by mining and mill
men that at the closing OF December a
gre at increase in the output OF gold
ore will be shown by the figures for the
thirty days of the last month of the
present year, is coming true, and there
is every indication that December will
break all monthly records of produc-
ton made by the mines OF the Cripple
Creek district, writes correspond
under date of December sth. The first
week of this month ends today with the
railroad companies announcing at noon
367 per cent heavier tonnage than
made from November lst to the clos
ing of the seventh day OF that month
With the output steadily increasing the
record OF new developments for the
day is four big properties starting up
aud two leases granted since Z o'c.oCk
this morning. The mines upon which
operation were resumed are the Noun
tain Beauty, Findley and Shurtloff on
Bull hill and the Ajax on Battle noun
tain.
This morning los men were lowered
through the Findley shaft to break ore
in the main workings of that property
and also to operate in the Shurllofr
while a number of miners went down
into the Mountain Beauty and Ajax

Prior to the suspension OF the opera

production Of these properties amount

leases granted were for period of two
years for a fiat royalty of twenty five

Golden Cycle Mill.

The first step in the reopening Of
the reconstructed Golden Cycle mill
i'll West Colorado Springs was taken
on the 5th inst. when two of the roast
ers We're blown in. By the first of the
year the mill will be running at its
full capacity of 800 tons a day.
With its eight furnaces, each with
capacity of lis tons, it is one of the
largest and most complete mills of ita
kind in the world. In South Africa
there are mills Of greater capacity, but
they do not calcine their ores. lhI
cost complete has been $1.250,00O. AT
idea of the size of the mill is gained
by the fact that it covers nine acres.
The steel building covering the roaster
is the largest structure of its kind IN
the West. There is not an elevator In
the entire mill, all ore being hoisfed
by means Of automatic conveyor belts.
From the time the ore leaves the cars
until the gold bricks are turned out
it is not touched by human hands.
In the reconstruction of the mill
which burned on August 7th, all of the
ideas utilized in the old Telluride mill
by Phillip Argyll have been discarded
although it cost the Golden Cycle
Company 100000 to do it. In the new
mill there are 20 per cent. less bear
ings and II per cent. less motors than
in the old, yet its daily capacity is 2Vo
tons more.
