A SUGGESTION.

A mine has been known to produce
its hundreds of thousands. Owing to
some cause or other it shuts down.
Then lessees take hand. 1t helps
some but the mine is invariably left
in a bad shape. The mine is still in
good standing, Notwithstanding ad
verse conditions. What is to be done?
It is idle and in that condition prac-
tically worthless. A system whereby
the ground might be divided into
fractions and sold outright to indivi-
duals instead of leasing, would work
a great change. In the case of the
lessees, they are out in case they
make nothing. To sell them frac-
tion would give them an interest for
their outlay.
One hundred feet of claim is
good slice of the whole to work. The
claim being 1900 by 300 feet would
give the owner fifteen fractions Of
the whole, which he might sell at
various prices according to the proxi-
nifty to the supposed or known bodies
Of ore contained in the mine.
Where the property Is mere pros
pect the same plan might be carried
out. The only known difficulty would
be to confine the purchaser to his
side as well as end lines. Where a
shaft Is on level ground 1t would be
perpendicular, where on a steep hill
the confines would be horizontal.
Apex must be eliminated.
Inasmuch as the idea emanates
from this office, and 1t appears. at
first blush, to contain elements Of
future worth to the mining commu-
nifty, any reasonable suggestion for
Improvement or objections to its
practicability will be given considera-
ton. At any rate. further details may
be looked for on the subject.

GOLD COLLAR MINE.

The Gold Collar mine under the
management of Mr.. Alfred Skeels,
has recently entered the list Of large
shippers, and the outlook for the com.
ing year is certainly bright for those
interested.
Vigorous development was carried
on for the last half year with the re-
suit that large ore bodies have been
opened up, necessitating the installa-
ton of an additional power plant to
handle the increased tonnage, and at
the same time continue the develop
ment work in further opening up the
property.
Eastern parties are largely inter
ested, with headquarters at Cincin-
natl, Ohio. President, C. L. Arzeno;
vice-president, Chas. Neblett; treas
urer, H. w. Welland, all of Cincin.
natl; secretary and manager, Alfred
Skeels, of this city.
This property has been constant
producer of high-grade gold ores; the
average value of smelling grade, be-
ing in excess of $1,000 per ton.
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30
ALPS PROPERTY.

Williams & Co., who have been
working the Alps mine under lease
during the past two years, have met
with pretty fair success the last 12
months. Steady shipments have been
maintained and the ore at times has
been of an unusually high grade. At
present the shipments being made
are of pretty fair grade and improv-
ing. A few months ago new boiler
was placed on the property, making
it possible to carry on the extensive
operations the company has in view
for 1910. An addition was also built
to the shaft house. A force of be-
tween % and 25 men is now employ
ed and if development work under
way opens up the ore bodies antici-
pated, this number will be increased.
The pool operating the Alps is COM
posed of residents of Nevadaville and
Central and the knowledge that they
are now reaping their reward after
a persistent search for the precious
metals lasting two years, is crafty
ing to say the least.

LEssEEs WORKING OLD TOWN.

Lessees principally have been pro-
scouting work in the Old Town mine
in Russell district, owned by the
Old Town Consolidated G.. M. Co.,
during 1909.Very little company work
has been done. The 13 east has been
extended 400 feet and the 10 west
41O feet, making this level in 1,7OO
feet. The 400 west has also been
driven $50 feet. The company Is now
driving the 700 east to make copnec-
tion with the old Wautauga sixth
level When the connection is made
the Wautauga will be worked through
the Old Town shaft. This will give
the company chance to use num-
ber Of lessees in this ground. Another
connection with these workings will
be made 100 feet above the 700, hol-
500 level. With Pike & Co., the Old
Town people are driving the 400 east
and are going to drive 800 feet to
get over the old Wautauga slopes.
Three or 400 feet beyond the present
breast of the drift is a wide terri
tory of virgin ground
Lessees on the 500 west and the
700 west have some nice ore.
Their last shipment went 2.62 ozs. in
gold, 10 ozs. silver and per cent
copper. They have an 1S-inch streak
of iron and two foot of mill dirt
Lessees throughout the mine are in
good pay ore.
George X. Kimball, manager of the
Old Town, says that by the middle
of January there will be ground for
at least % additional lessees.

tary and official circles ceremonial
visits are paid.
The Russians are great at fortune
telling, and on New Years eve the un-
married ladies and gentlemen send
servants into the street, or go out
themselves, to ask the names of per-
sons they meet. These will be the
names of persons they will severally
marry, and many a bashful Russian
lover has speeded himself in his suit
by taking care to be the first man his

Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30

Americans are too busy to take
many holidays, but few of them fail
10 observe New Years day in some
way or other. The good old custom
of making calls on ones friends fell
into disrepute long ago because 1t
was so abused by the over-convivial,
but family gatherings usually mark
the day, and the church folk all over
the country still hold watch meetings
in the religious edifices to usher in
the new year. Our observances of the
day, however, are not so picturesque
as are those Of many other countries.
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30

Slopes on End, Sd and 4th levels are
all in good ore with large tonnage
broken and on stulls ready to ship.
In the way of new development, the
End level east, will be extended to
further exploit the recently acquired
Montrose, which in the early days
of the camp produced milling ores
that amalgamated 40 ounces to the
cord, together with smelling ores
valued at $400 to $500 per ton.
The shaft is to be unwatered, so as
to work the 5th level and drive new
drifts east and west at the 600 and
700-foot points.
The tonnage that will be develop
ed by this work will severely tax the
new hoisting facilities and plans are
being considered for the sinking of
cage shaft on the property to fur
ther increase the output.
An Ingersoll-Sergeant compressor
furnishes the air for the working of
the property, all work being done
with the latest improved machine
drills. The equipment is up-to-date
and credit to the management.
