The mining properties in tins dis
trici are looking much brighter than
they have for several wears. The
prospect of the kaenzel Smelter at
Buena Vista proving a success, Is
inaucing the owners Of low grade
properties to push development
work and considerable ore is being
taken out for shipment as soon Is
the smelter is in a position to han
die it, The Decorruk property work
ing under lease by Thorndals ssd
Iielman Of this place has already
shipped two car loads Of ore 10 the
new Smelter that run $50 per ton.
The ore streak is from Is inches to
> feet in width. The Lake View in
the same gulch has just struck =
nice body of ore in their tunnel and
will soon be a shipper
Owners of the Black Hawk mine
on Murphy hill are just loading two
car of ore to 60 to the kuenzel Smell
ter. This ore runs about S3J per
ton; they have three feet of 1t in the
breast of the tunnel and from FIVE to
six feet in the slope.
The Mary Murphy people are
working about 20 men and as soon
as they can get their mill and air
compressor installed they will work
over 100 men
The Chalk Greek property Just
across the creek from where the new
Murphy mill is to be built has ore
on the dump that will run some
thing over Sl00 per ton. The Black
Diamond has quite lot of fairly
good ore on the dump. The mines
mentioned are only small number
Of the properties that have ore open
up that will run from sc to $50 per
ton. As soon as the kuenzel pros
cess gets in shape to handle all the
ore from this district it will be one
OF the swellest mining districts of
the state.

down on business Wednesday. He
tells US that the Mountain King tun-

adjoining the Cochetopa reserve ON
the north and east of us, there are
10000 acres of sage brush mesa.
every foot of 1t, except some slide

sands of fertile tracts where we NAV
in few years expect homemakers to
settle, even without expensive irriga-

What are you going to do about it,
citizens of Gunnlson? Is it not true
that every additional acre tied up in
these graft ridden areas, retards the
material progress of the county and
takes money from the pocket of every
business man in the towns as well
as from ranchmen in tie valleys?
Now is the time to protest. The
representatives. and senators from
Colorado are inclined to be on our
side. All over the west the move
ment against Pinchotism is gaining
strength Every voter should write
to his congressman and senators ex-
planning the situation and making
his protest as vigorous as possible.
