Rocky mountains.
You do well therefore to celebrate |
the day for it is the beginning of our
permanent historical records.
Very respectfully,
FRANK HALL
Judge Moses Hallett, that old timer
who has been identified with the states
best interests for many years, enter
tanned the audience with his wonderful
fund of knowledge, and perhaps his re-
marks were the most interesting of the
entire programme.
Governor Shaffroth, ever vigorous,
added much to the entertainment, and |
gave of his efforts that which added |
much to the days pleasure.
Senator Patterson took but little |
time to express his pleasure in being
present, and in his usual forcible way
told of his early connection with the
events which the state was now cele-
brating.
Senator Teller, that old timer with
whose name the state has ever been as
sociated, spoke without notes and held
the audiences attention during his
brief remarks. 1t was the city's great
est pleasure to entertain the veteran
and he was at all times the center of
the greatest interest.
In connection with the celebration,
Postmaster Trathen has received the
following letter which speaks for itself:
Postmaster, Idaho Springs, Colo.
Dear Sir: Having noticed in Los
Angeles paper that Idaho Springs will
celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
the discovery of gold in the Rocky
mountains, by George Jackson, in 1859,
l beg leave to say that l was "Pikes
Peaker" in the fall of 1858 and reached
Cherry creek, where Denver now is, in
November, 1858, and in January, 1859,
went up Is miles northwest on Clear
creek where Golden now is and estab-
lished my headquarters as a hunting
and prospecting camp. My partner was
:.Buckskin joe, and we prospected
back in the Rocky mountains during
January and February, 1853, and |
claim the honor of digging the first gold
out from so to IS miles on Clear creek,
and where Georgetown and other mines
were afterwards established. We
came out of the mountains in March.
1853, and l brought my samples of gold
with me, kept them, and when went
back to the states, had the gold made
into ring, and my wife still has the
ring made from the first gold ever dug
out of the Rocky mountains in Colorado.
When we came out of the mountains in
March. 1859, Denver had just been laid
out and it was the only town in Colora-
do. became well acquainted with
most of the original Denver town COM

Alice Mine Attracts Attention

A beautiful and elaborate prospectus
has just been issued by the Alice Gold
Mills Corporation, and is a credit to
those who have been instrumental in
bringing this section of Clear Creek
county to the front. During the spring
of 1908 Messrs. Roller and Shaffer
prosecuted series of experimental
bya thorough treatment Of small lots
of the ore in the custom mills, with the
result that they became thoroughly
satisfied the ore body was no excep-
tion to the rule. that by applying mod
ern methods to low grade bodies of ore
large profits could be derived. Based
upon these experiments, they and their
associates now interested in the pre-
sent company, erected small
mill upon the property during the sum-
mer of 1908 and successfully operated
the mill until late in the year. The
operations of this mill thoroughly
demonstrated beyond any doubt that
the laboratory tests were absolutely
by known methods; that no new dis
covery or new process or theory was
necessary to convert the ore into profit
but on the other hand that the simple
application of the latest scientific
knowledge of ore reduction, would OBJ
tain the same results in the Alice ore
as is being done in the large ore bodies
opened in other parts of the world.
Consequently this ore body which at
the time of discovery was of little if
any commercial value, has to-day
grown to be worth not less than
SO, 600, 900 and probably many times
that sum.
Idaho Springs, as well as Roller and
Shaffer is to be congratulated upon
the final success of this great enter
prise for with active operation at the
Alice, and there can be no doubt of
large returns when in full working Or
der, will have very beneficial effect
on other enterprises, with equally as
meritorious, but which need the same
push back of them that has charac-
teriZed the successful launching of
the famous Alice. What is needed in
most of our propositions is prac-
tical knowledge and a conservative
| management, with these elements al
| ways in view many more enterprises
in Clear Creek County can be success
fully made to pay and with Alice as a
guide we expect many of our present
idle mines to be in full operation in the
near future.

The activity displayed at the Alice
property in Yankee Hill district at the
present time betokeas great things for
the coming summer and for some time
thereafter, for the promoters are
abundantly able to carry forward their
project to full fruition even though they
should not receive any additional en-
couragement from the outside.
The Mines Supply company is now
engaged with force of men in grad
ing for three new buildings, board
ing house, residence for the foreman
and one other building for general
use, and these buildings will be pushed
through to completion as fast as poss-
ible. The company will pat in gen.
eral stock of goods consisting of gen
eral mining supplies, dry goods, gro
ceries, clothing, boots and shoes, and
will carry one of the largest and best
assorted stocks in the state. The store
building is to be 20x36 feet. A man.
ager for the supply store has not as yet
been selected

A. E. Straub last Tuesday hauled
three loads of mill machinery which
is to be installed at the new Roberts
mill at Lamartine, and before this is
sue of the Siftings- News is in the hands
of its readers, it is expected that in
stallation will be made and the mill
will be ready to handle the ore. An
effort has been made to make this mill
especially adapted to the ores of the
Lamartine and great results are expect
ed to follow. With an experienced
mill man as is j. G. Roberts who is
perhaps one of the best posted men in
the camp as to values and milling ores
back of the enterprise, there should be
no doubt as to the outcome.

Gated between the Stanley mines and

visited this section on several occasions
remaining here at times for several
weeks, during which he made many
warm friends who will sincerely regret
his demise. Only within the past
three days prior to his death he had
written letter to this paper on busi-
ness matters and was preparing to
push work at the Wyandotte in a most
vigorous manner. The properties op-
Grated by the Wyandotte M. e. NJ. Co.
are the Golden Edith, Lily, and Col

Local people have gone up against
shrewd forger and their head bumped
to the tune of several dollars. A man
by the name of j. D.. Gregg registered
at a local hotel some weeks ago giving
out that he was a bookkeeper tor the
Florensheim Shoe company, and was
in Colorado for an outing. At the
end of eight days he submitted a
draft for S25 to the proprietor ask
ing that it be cashed The landlord,
while somewhat suspicious, finally
agreed to advance $40 on the order,
and shortly afterwards was notified
that his erstwhile guest was in Cen
tral City where he had cashed SINH
lar order at the New York Shoe Store
1t was also learned that the man
had walked over the hill leaving his
board bill unpaid. Through little de-
tective work, Gregg was located at
the Oxford hotel in Denver where his
arrest was accomplished and he was
brought back to Gilpin county and
will answer to the charge to-day. AS
soon as the Gilpin authorities finish
with him the local victims will in all
probability deal with him
