NEEDLE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT.
Especial correspondence.)
Needleton. Coio., May

Needleton. Coo, May 10.
Colorado is twice over the richest
mining state in the union. Her re
sources include almost every branch
of industry in the world. 1t is said
that II Colorado should be shut off
from the rest of the world the inhabi.
tants would never want for anything
as everything needful is found within
her boundary.
1t is In her mining facilities, how
ever. that she stands ahead Millions
of dollars have already BEEN taken
from her mountains and streams and
countless millions still lie within her
bosom waiting for the hand of man
to take them for his own use. This
Is especially true of the southwestern
portion OF the state, part hitherto
little known, but abounding in wealth
untold.
The country Itself is such that agri.
culture can easily be made very profit
able, fruits abound. the climate is most
delightful, the winters being short
and mild. Durango, the only town of
much size in this portion of the state,
Is situated where all produce can be
easily marketed. Coal and mineral
in the surrounding country is unllm-
tied. A smelter Is kept busy here and
millions of dollars worth of ore is
smelted each year.
About twenty miles above Durango
on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
going to Sllverton, lies the Needle
mountain mining district. Immense
veins carrying silver, lead, gold and
copper are to be found at almost
every turn, and men are beginning to
realize that immense wealth is stored
there and 1t can be had for the TAX
ing. The Oregon group of mines is
situated on east Silver mesa in the
Needle mountains.
The east Silver mesa is table
land, a mile In width east and west
between two deep canons. Florida
gulch on the east and Missouri gulch
on the west; extending from the top
of high range of mountains on the
north to the Florida river. on the
south u distance of two and half
miles.
The altitude ranges from 1880
feet at the top of the range on the
north to about 10000 feet at the
Florida river on the south. The al
titude OF Oregon No. is about 12.30o
feet.
The formation of the mesa is gran
lite with many parallel north and
south mineral bearing IIads of quartz
and porphyry breaking through and
cropping very boldly, llso many east
and west and rortheas'eriy and south
westerly leads breaking across it. The
Oregon group is on lire OF leads near
the middle Of the mesa which has
been proven very rich. The Oreyms

The veins are not small, but very
large and continuous there being many
thousand dollars worth of ore at the

deep. the surface ore is simply the
beginning of what is to follow.

$3.50 per ton and many picked lots
running as high as $500 per ton in

at this estimate or at the export fig
ures the natural inference suggested
by what would be considered sound
business principles would be that they
must represent both wealth and thrift.
In the national sense, however, this
is not true, no matter how much in
dividuals may be making out Of the
cut For 1t Is shown in a paper on
the timber supply Of the United States
by r. 8. Kellogg, government forest
inspector, that the country consumes
every year between three and four
times more wood than all its forests
grow In that time. Actually, therefore,
we are exhausting our forest capital
at terrific rate. and though the total
supply continues to be enormous GER
tain kinds of timber are rapidly de-
creasing, and great sections OF the
country have passed the maximum OF
their producing power and are on the
decline.
AS regards consumption and popu-
lation there is the following state
ment:
Rapidly as the population of the
| United States has increased, the lum-
| Der consumption of the country has
| Increased still more rapidly. In round
numbers, and allowing for incomplete
| reports, the lumber cut in 1880 was
lS billion feet in 1890, "a billion feet,
crease In population from 1880 to 1900
were So per cent, but in lumber cut
"a per cent. The United States is
now using annually 400 board feet oi
lumber per capita, while the average
for Europe is but 60 feet per capita
In any one year we have a supply
far in excess OF the power of con
sumption, 1t is to the immediate in
terest OF ownersNto sell, since there is
big business to be had both at home
and abroad, and though the prices con
tain a hint Of an anticipated short
age or of real shortage in certain
lines, wood is so desirable on many ac
counts that the demand remains
strong.
To save forests under such condi
tions is an exceedingly difficult mat
ter, but the government officials win
have given the closest attention to th'
subject believe that proper manage
ment, If 1t could be established, woul'
bring about the desired end. In tn,
article which we are discussing it i
said that though the annual incremen
is but 10 cubic feet per acre for tn
entire timber area 1t can be bough
ply our legitimate need without tn
, impairment Of forest capital. But tina
this may be done "the state and ma
tional governments should assume tn
responsibility of providing a futur
, supply of timber" and at present onl
about one-fifth of the forest area is i
= cd there is an appeal to the exper

escape from a severe shortage throug
