Colorado Placer Mines.

The history of mining in most states
has been somewhat reversed in Colo
RADIO. Generally, placer mining is the
first industry to attract attention.
Whiie it is true that mining in Colo
rado started of with placer mine in
Clear Creek canon. still lode mining
was begun so soon thereafter that the
states fame, as a mining state, has
been based almost entirely on lode
mining from the very early days. Last
year. however, showed a great deal of
activity in placer mining. The lessees
at Granite, Colorado. did more profit
able business than had ever been done
on this famous property for many a
long year; the Park county placers
We're worked with unusual energy
while at Breckenridge the important
fact was demonstrated that many OF
these deposits could be worked with
great profit by dredging. The same
thing was demonstrated over in the
Routt county fields. and in this dis
trict. which has. heretofore, been rated
as valuable principally for agricultural
purposes, there are now six very ac-
tive placer companies. The Colorado
Mines Water Company has put in
the winter getting out coal and over
hauling the dredge; the Housel-Melvin
Company, has likewise spent the win
ter in preparation for more active
campaign than last year; A. ]. Wal
ain. the Gooldy Company, and the
Howard-Merrill Company are all maxi
ing active preparation for very en-
ergetic campaign this year.
All things considered, IL looks as
though placer mining in Colorado Is
starting on something of BOOM

minor illness from which he suffered since his
retirement from the navy, in 1905. but his death
is believed TO have been due TO a stroke Of apo
plexy.
On Friday night the admiral remained at

that it was strange how his cold hung on. He
spent the evening usual in reading and smok-
ing his pipe. About O'Clock yesterday morn
