MINE
On Winnebago Hill Making
A Big Showing---Excel-
lent Grade of Ore.

w. P. Johns, who is managing the
Troublesome mine on top of Winnebago
hill, says they have opened up a fine
pocket of ore west of the shaft 165 feet
down. The streak carries both milling
and smelling ore and is from five to
eight feet in width. The mill dirt runs
four ounces on the plates and the con-
centrates go over $4,000 to the ton. A
carload shipment of the smelling ore
was made yesterday but noreturns have
been received, but this ore usually runs
from $50 90 to $50. 90 to the ton net.
The mine is being worked with a
whim, but as sinking will have to be
done shortly so as to work the big ore
shoot, which has been opened up the
length of 70 feet, machinery will have
to be installed. This is another of the
old prospects that were worked in the
early days and have been abandoned for
years. Like the rest it is proving that
more gold still exists in Gilpin county
than was ever taken out. The Trouble
some prior to twelve months ago had
been forgotten for thirty years. 1t is
owned by VIC. Stevens of Black Hawk
who, no doubt, would have sold it a year
ago for song, not thinking for min
ute that the old prospect contained ore
enough to make some of the old pro-
ducers resemble forlorn hopes.

The Grafton follows:

The Grafton follows:
THE LITTLE KINGDOM, CREDITOR.
In 1858 there was founded in the deep
valleys of the rockies kingdom; a king
dom without a king; an empire without
an emperor. Though its boundaries
were not defined by law for some years,
nevertheless natural boundaries marked
it as clearly then as now. Bounded on
the west by perpetual snow, on the east
by the beautiful foothills and on the
north and south by veins of precious
minerals, it stands alone the richest
place of similar area in the world. 1t is
the cradle of Colorado's statehood, of
her prosperity. The beginning of civ
ilization in the rockies. 1t is doubtful
if there would have been any permanent
settlement in the rocky mountain reg
ion, in this half century, at least, had it
not been for the discovery of gold here.
In other districts the prospector must
delve through deep strata of earth or
brave the dangers of the desert to gath
er gold, but here the precious metal was
found at the surface, in climate not
too cold, with an abundant supply of
water close at hand, as if inviting the
prospector to share natures secrets
with her. This fact caused the discov-
cry of gold here and led to the settle
ment and exploration of the rocky noun
tain region. For had not the rich finds
of Gregory, Russell, Gamble. Burroughs,
and others attracted immigrants from
all parts of the continent it is probable
that neither the deeply buried deposits
nor the refractory ores of other districts
would have been investigated. So we
see that the world owes to the Little
Kingdom not only the hundreds of mill
ions which have been produced here,
but also the hundreds of millions which
her fame has caused to be found in other
districts.
1t is fitting perhaps in this, the fiftieth
year of its existence, to tell you some
thing of this empire of wealth. What
then shall say? might tell you of its
past, which you know, of its present,
which you enjoy, or attempt to proph'
esy its future, for which you hope.
might describe the various towns, the
mines, the mills, the climate or the
scenery, but these are familiar subjects
to you and have been treated by man,
an ADLER speaker than l. However, the
character and permanence of its ore de
posits are subjects which no person
however wise and eloquent, could eve
exhaust. Regent developments show
that not tenth part of the precious
veins have been found, not hundredtl
of the different kinds Of ore investigat

Dear SIR
At the Commencement exercises of
the High school held June 11th, 1908,
there were present number of direc-
tors of the Gilpin County Chamber of
Commerce, who after hearing the ora
tion delivered by yourself on Gilpin
county, expressed themselves as it be-
ing most appropriate and valuable ad
dition to the pictorial and descriptive
circular they are preparing for distribu-
ton, to acquaint the public of the re-
sources within the confines of Gilpin
county. We therefore ask permission
of you to publish the same.
Also as a small token of our apprecia-
ton of your labor and diligence in pre-
pairing such treatise, am, on behalf
of the board of directors, enclosing you
warrant order on the treasurer for
$1,000 and hope that you will continue
to work for the upbuilding of the coun-
ty. With best wishes for your future
success, we are,
Very Sincerely Yours,

ed. The bonanzas of the past are but
indications of those of the future, and
the fortunes made by the antiquated
methods of the past pale into insignifi-
canoe beside those which the greater
knowledge and more improved methods
of the future will produce. The ancient
pan saved 40 per cent of the values, the
modern stamp mill saves 70 per cent.
The miner of twenty or thirty years ago
saved only that which would "pan,"
thereby losing great deal of valuable
ore, but the miner of today is enabled
by greater knowledge and more i'm
proved methods to save profitably even
refractory and base-metal ores, which,
in former times would have been dis
carded as worthless. If such improve
ments have been made upon the meth
ods of the past, what may we not hope
for the future? If in so years one hun
dred thirty millions have been produced,
who can measure those millions which
another so years will bring? The great
est period of her prosperity has not yet
been reached. Then if the Little King
dom's past has been bright, what term
shall we apply to her future prospects?
If her present wealth beggars descrip-
tion, how shall we speak of her future
grandeur? If we speak of her present
wealth in glowing phases, what shall
we say of fame to come, and when
another so years has passed away, we
shall see the Little Kingdom greater
and richer than ever, still known to the
world as the Little Kingdom m-Creditor.

The OHIO Kentucky Mining company,
according to information received from
Phoebe today, which was later con
llrmed at the company's offices in the
