VULCAN IS MAKING
GREAT SHOW|NG-.0RE
BRINGS BIG RETURNS

Practically $4,000 a car is what is
being netted by the ores of the Vul-
can Mining Co. according to recent
adyices from Denver, to which point
the company Is shipping regularly a
carload of ore week. The computa-
ton of profit on the cars is made
at the present low metal price.
The last car to the Denver. smelter
netted $4,190 for the shippers at
the smelter. This was computed at
the rate of si22k for lead; Silver.
80 X cents; copper, IL cents. The
ore carries well in all of the metals,
with lead and silver predominating.
Superintendent Danaher, who 10
here at present, has declined to say
anything more about the property
than that 1t looking well and prom
Uses much. II Is currently reported
that development upon a larger scale
will be started soon and that build
ing of the spur track from the mine
to the railroad will be started short

II is fully believed that the COM
pany, even with the metals at pres
ent low prices can make a handsome
profit of the millions OF dollars
worth of ore which Is blocked out
! in their workings. With the re-
sources the Vulcan has demonstrated
and with the men in charge Of the af-
fairs that the company has, there Is
no room for doubt but that whatever
! facilities 1t may require 1t can read

OF large advantage In cheapening
shipping and supply costs and in en-
abling steady operations.
