Domestic consumers are not buying except from hand to mouth and Europe and China cannot handle all of our output, by any means. Big consumers like the Westinghouse companies are not making any large contracts because they are just recover ing from the severe crimping which threw them into the hands of a receiver at the beginning of the panic, and oth, CT largo users are little, If any, better of. From an impartial standpoint, it looks as though the present movement in both metal and shares, is not sub stantial one, although slight boom is predicted this spring. It is generally conceded, however, that there will be nothing much doing, until after the presidential election next fall. In the meantime, the market should offer good opportunities for small investors after the reaction from the present bull movement.

CENTRAL CITY, COLO, THURSDAY. AUGUST G. 1908.
Start Property in HamIln Culch.

r. l.. Hedden, G. T. Lancaster and
H. o. Brubaker went to Hamlin gulch
Wednesday to commence work on the
Columbia group. There are seven
claims in the group with mill site and
water rights. 1t is tunnel proposition.
Two have been driven, one on the Col
umbia and the other on the Ruby Trust.
The Columbia is in 200 feet from the
big Hamlin gulch and the Ruby Trust
is in 300 feet from the little Hamlin
side. Good pay ore is exposed in the
Ruby and it is in this tunnel that work
will be prosecuted. Beside driving the
tunnel Messrs. Hedden, Lancaster and
Brubaker will do placer mining. The
Columbia group is owned by James
Moody who has given lease and op-
tion to the present operators. Accord
ing to the three gentlemen who will
work the group the option will be taken
up in short time. This group is con-
sidered one of the best in the northern
district and is expected to make good
showing. Mr. Hedden ard Mr. Bru-
baker are A l miners and if it is possi-
BILE to make the property pay they are
the ones who can do it.

MINES ATTRACT
INVESTORS
People Arriving Daily to In.
vestigate Field for Safe
investments

That decided interest is being taken
by outsiders in Gilpin county mines is
evident from the fact that during the
past three or four weeks parties have
beenarriving from all parts of the coun-
try for the purpose of examining proper
ties. Some of these are already inter
ested in mines in the district and their
mission is to arrange for the resumption
of operations, or increased work on
properties now operating. Gilpin coun-
ty has received a great deal of publicity
within the past three or four months
and the advertising is now having its
effect. The big War Dance strike, which
was heralded all over the country caus-
ed many who are attracted by mining
ventures to direct their attention this
way. Aside from the big strikes that
have been made, the bringing of the
delegates here on the Chamber of Com
merce excursion the fore part of last
month, is also doing good. 1t is ap-
parent that these people have been
talking Gilpin county all over the coun-
try since they made the trip up here.
Among the recent arrivals is Theo. C.
Tiedebohl of Chicago. He was in the
city last week. The gentleman is d.
rector and heavy stockholder in the
Faraday Mining company, operating
the lroquois and other properties in
Russell. Mr.. Tiedebohl came out for
purpose of examining the properties
with the view of opening up the ground
and doing extensive development. He
went west after his visit but will return
Monday or Tuesday of next week.
E. w. Talley of Nashville, Tenn. was
here this week. Mr.. Talley is one of
the principal owners in the Dirigo group,
extensive holdings in Perigo. He visit
ed the properties and says the company
is thinking either of leasing the proner-
ties or working them themselves. The
Dirigo is one of the largest propositions
in the county. Beside the several claims
in the group, the company owns large
and modern mill, which is conveniently
located on the grounds. 1t is practically
assured that the group will be operated
before fall by lessees or by the COM
pany.
