Cripple Creek Gold Output.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during August amounted to
GG,SSG tons, with gross bullion value
of S1.330,774. These figures show an
increase in tonnage over the month of
July of 1924 tons, and decrease in
bullion value of s14,257. In view of
the fact that the heavy rains have in
terfered to considerable extent with
hauling and that the allied lines have
been unable to supply the full demand
for cars, this record is considered re-
markable.
The coming month will see two more
mills of large capacity In full opera
ton. The new spur to be built to
open the northern section of the dis
trict will probably be finished this
month. The district is now shipping
its largest daily tonnage to the valley
mills and smelters, an average of al
most seventy broad gauge cars leaving
the camp every day. The figures of
tonnage and gross bullion values as
given out by the various mills and
smelters are as follows:

SPRINGS MEANS
MUCH wealth
coLoRADo's MINERAL WATERS
RIVAL THE MOST FAMOUS
IN EUROPE.
MUST BE DEVELOPED
MAY BE MADE TO BRING IN
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOL
LARS ANNUALLY.

Denver.-Colorado will attract ESQ.,
900 tourists annually instead of the
$4,000 people that now visit the state
when the three-scorc or more of min
eral springs are developed and
equipped with accommodations and at
fractions. Each visitor will remain
six to eight weeks and leave behind
800, estimating from figures compiled
in European resorts, which will leave
Colorado with s25,O00,OOO in added
wealth annually.
Denver being the chief commercial
center and distributing point for the
various medicinal springs resorts. will
of course reap the lions share of the
| benefits.
These were some of the telling
points made by Thomas Tonge in his
paper on Colorado mineral springs,
read before the Denver real estate ex-
change at the Brown Palace hotel. He
| stated that years of study proves that
| Colorado has exact duplicates of the
| famous springs of Europe, and thai
many as yet unheard of publicly actu
ally excel all known foreign waters.
| The exchange members were so favor
ably impressed with the subject and
| its importance to Denver that Il COM
mittee was appointed to agitate for a
bill asking an appropriation for a thor
ough examination of the states medi
cinal springs.
In only two places. Glenwood
Springs and Manitou, has any at
| tempt been made in proper manner
to care for the tourist seeking springs
for their healing properties. In many
cases where the waters are of excel
lent curative effect. only the most
crude equipment exists. and this lack
of enterprise or lack of capital must
be remedied before there will be any
permanent flow of travel. Even should
a visitor be attracted to place where
there is a makeshift equipment, his
stay is shortened and he never goes
a second time.
Mr.. Tonge gave figures to show that
some places of only few hundred in
habitants in Europe attracted 10000
to $4,000 tourists to their springs be-
| cause of their natural beauty. in con
nection with their healing waters.
The little town of Apollinaris In
Prussia exports 2O.OOO,0OO bottles of
water annually, Mr.. Tonge said Colo
RADIO had a practical duplicate spring.
Vichy in France attracts 10000 people
annually. Canon City, Colorado, has
similar spring and might well de-
yelop similar fame. Colorado is known
to have almost exact duplicates of the
famous waters of Aixles-Bains in
Savoy, of Cauterets in the Pyrenees
and OF Wiesbaden. Germany.
MIR. Tonge argued that combina-
ton of nature and art in the makeup
of Colorado springs resorts. taken to-
gether with advantages to health of
almost perpetual sunshine. that this
state is better equipped than any Eu-
ropean resort district, to draw on the
world for an almost unlimited supply
of tourists.
The committee to undertake the
work of securing the cooperation of
the state for the development of the
springs follows: Thomas Tonge. chair
man; John McDonough, C. L. Want
land, Alfred Kerns and C. A. Johnson.
