PASSING EVENTS

Prosperity has been the keynote Of
the week and il has been sounded b.
the west. From all parts Of the great
granary of the country. the west. the
reports of crop conditions and If
yields have been such as 10 strengthen
the confidence Of the business and
commercial world. and there has been
increased permanently in developments
in all lines OF trade and business.
Again the west has demonstrated Its
SURPRISING Importance in the financial
and commercial life of the country
once more has h been shown that tn"
west II the countryS great surety Of
prosperity. The new feature tn the
situation this year is found in the fact
that the west has cared thus far for
the financial end of the harvest. and
movement of the crops with less aid
from the banks of the east than ever
before. And. naturally. from this in
dependent position of the west has
come renewed confidence In which the
east shares. The country may well
congratulate itself upon the showing
that is made as the August days short
Ell and merge into the golden harvest
season of September.

methods Of mining have given place
to the uPto-date systems so proml-
nentIy exploited. There is a lack of
that happygo-Iucky, slam-bang style
conspicuous few years ago. These
new appliances do not seem to cost
any more and the results are far
more remunerative, all things con-
sidered. There is general improve
ment all along the line. One might
cite dozens of prominent Instances
where economy principles In mining
having been adopted, the contrast as
to results have been almost startling
to the beneficiaries. Take for Instance,
air drills operated by compressors,
they do the work of seven men as
compared with the old hand-driII
methods. Transportation by tram, ex-
traction, the new smelters at Utah
Junction and Golden which Is soon
to blow-in, all these work for more
economy, enabling the miners to sc
cure greater profits from his ores.
1t Is hard to keep from reiterating
the abundanee-it is actually bewil-
dering-the quantity that lies expos
ed upon every dump within the soI-
den ore zone of GiIpin.
A yearly average has been struck
of the miners employed in actual de-
veIopment of the district. 1t has been
found that one thousand experienced
miners have derived benefit from the
work given out by operators. This
has supported an average population
Of 5000 since the period of inception
Of mining in the Little Kingdom of
Gilpin. II others have like record
it has nat been heraded, to any great
extent.
The subject is inexhaustible. But
there Is one more coming that is
proof of all that has gone before.
That Is to state, this small area has
enriched the world by $10o, ,ooo, 900,
averaging $2,ooo,ooo year. There, If
any can caviI at this they are well
come, but the stand-patters hope to
see this augmented and the benefi-
ciaries will be those who are willing
to try out a season at mining just to
see what 1t will amount to in course
Of time. Success is assured If eco
nomieaI methods are considered.

THE MAMMOTH.

This property is in a good neigh
borhood and ought to produce tell
ing results from its operation. situat-
ed as 1t Is in the midst Of the big
mines of Gregory hill. The property
is owned BY Hal Sayre and has been
leased by that experienced mine man.
ager to Mr.. T. B. Bassett, Robert
Sayre and Dave Thompson. The prop.
erty is Just west Of the Cook shaft,
and work was started on December
22. Operations will be through the
Cook shaft OF which 1t is in close
proximity. Work will be pushe5
vigorously. That Mr.. Bassett has
added this property to the list which
he has undertaken to prove up,
shows his judgement must be OF a
kind to bring sure results to the
operators.
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30
iNNUMERAsLE SHAFT HOUSES.

No mining section in the west can
show as many surface Improvements
in the way of shaft houses and other
adjuncts of mining than can be seen
in this vicinity. A list of photographs
disclose over two hundred, from the
stacks Of which come volumes Of
smoke Indicating the activity below
the surface. With this array of evil
dence it does not look like a slump in
mining. 1t would take week or more
- Investigate the remainder but the
field has been pretty we'll covered in
order to find out just what is doing
in a mining way. There are many
properties not working, which have
surface improvements of character
calculated to excite envy In those
possessing mines not SO we'll equipp-
ed. From all this one may judge that
Gilpin county must have shown
superior Inducements to have brought
about such an outlay in the hope Of
discovering treasury by the method
Of mining. II is to be deplored that
all were not able to realize on their
hopes. Not enc of these improved
pieces of ground failed to show ore
in quantity worth extracting. Possi-
bly, some had large bodies of ore and
others small. Whatever the cause Of
the cessation of work, none can say
that the mines were barren. Then,
why have many ceased to be operat-
ed? II they had paid, would they
not have continued? Most of them
did pay, but the management must
have been such that the revenues
were eaten, leaving nothing in divi-
dends. There Is hardly a mine or
hole on the mineral belt that does
not disclose ore, quality and quantity
may be lacking, but II Is remark
able fact that there is so much, COW
ering, as II does, such wide section
Of territory. Seemingly the whole
county is underlaid with mineraI-bear-
ing rock, and II most of these i'm
proved mines were working, depth
would be pretty certain to bring them
into large paying ore bodies. Anyone
desiring mines we'll developed and
most Of the improvements intact,
can get satisfactory returns by TAX
Ing over these and working the veins
downward. There are bonanzas be.
meath and all around the mining por-
tlons Of the county.

WEALTH BY MINING.

Mining Is as old as the recognition
Of metals. History tells Of the Law
ish use Of gold, silver and copper
by Individuals whose displays seem
to far surpass anything now shown.
The reason for this must have been
that the wealth Of the country was
In few hands and population nothing
like II 10 now. And allowance must
be made for the exaeeeratlon Of the
historians, but that was not so much
a fault as the proneness Of the times
to exalt certain epoehs Of a people
seemingly more advanced than ma.
tIono Of another period.
OF course, wealth In mines merely
means the product and the value Of
the same as recognized by elviIiza.
tIon. Value In this sense means utI-
IIty or the use to which Il may be
put. II 10 staple, too, In that the de-
mand 10 such a. to mako the article

THE MILTON MINE.

One of the surprising strikes Of the
year was the find of high-grade sill
ver-lead ore in the Milton, property
situated one and half miles below
Black Hawk. This new development
in section that has been dormant
Tor some time will lend incentive to
other owners Of property In that
neighborhood. A strike Of the kind
in most other districts than staid old
Gilpin would create a furore of ex-
citement. The surprise is that the
mineral Is SO rich and apparently SO
remote from the more extensively
worked mines Of the district and this
makes 1t distinctive proposition of
itself. It had previously shown indi-
cations OF value and the lessees with
rare judgement selected this as one
likely to develop into something
worth while.
Two men are working at present
with prospect of an enlarged force
as soon as developments warrant.
The mine shaft is between the creek
and the railroad. so near to the creek
only few feet from it-that water
is greatly hindering developments.
The water is being taken out by a
Fairbanks hoist and bucket.
The shaft is about IS feet deep.
Two drifts have been run, one goes
into the hill and the other under the
creek. Both follow a vein for a dis
tance OF fifteen and sixteen feet,
respectively.
The rock is felspathic-quartz,
carrying as high as 1896 ounces of
silver and sixty-five per cent. lead,
with mill returns of IT'S ounces on
the average. 1t contains gray copper
and bornite and the vein is from
two to six inches wide. Several ship;
ments have already been made and
the lessees, Messrs. VIM. Graham,
VIM. Beall, d. w. Taylor, Neil Nc
Kay. Ross Fields, VIM. Flick and P.
r. Alsdorf. are congratulating them
selves upon their acumen in the selec
tion Of the section in which the mine
is located. Considering all the cir
cumstances 1t is certainly a big thing
as 1t brings a new producer OF high
grade ore into the open. The proper
ty is under lease and bond.
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30
THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Our word is one of cheer. The past
is past. The coming year is the song
to sing. All know what the record
has been by experience. Save the
few records and statistics, just in the
way of comparison to show how II
was done, this edition will give the
public an idea Of what to expect or
hope in the coming months. A pretty
good epitome of the whole will be
CLEANED by reading this issue, for it
contains facts not generally known.
See If you cannot find encouragement
in its lines. 1t surely shows progress
to very marked degree.
Many new enterprises are promised.
Better than all there will be requir
ed such additions to the community
as will surprise the uninitiated. 1t
is easy to generaIize, but 1t is fact
that the requirements for contempIat-
ed Improvements will necessitate not
less than thousand miners and mill
men. This is CLEANED by the know
ledge that has come from sources
that are reliable. OF course, If there
are that number already here the in
fIux will not be noticed but this
much can be said, the extra help will
certainly be beneficial in that the
wages received will swell the trade
returns of our merchants and they
will consequently acknowledge that
times are better. Not that they have
complained, far from it, they begin
60 realize that things are beginning
to stir the pulse of trade.
This is mining community de-
pending solely on the returns from
the mines and mills. More mines
working, more mills turning the pro-
duct into values, neccssitates labor
of the skilled kind. The demand for
such will unquestionably be great.
Living here, they will require the
neoessaries which the business firms
will gratefully supply.

THE HUGHES MINE.

Eugene Holley took possession of
the Hughes mine on Belleview noun
tain the first Of the month and in
tends to organize company to carry
on the work. R. l. Hughes and B. T.
Threewit have been working the
property for the past year and at the
beginning Of the year put up a shaft
house and installed a plant of ma
chinery. A winze has been sunk on
the west side of the 100-foot level.
1t is now twenty-five feet deep and
shows ore on both ends and In the
bottom. There is level on the west
that is in sixty feet that shows ore
all along the back. On the east side.
about the same distnace in, an equal
ly good showing is made. A cross-cut
is being run at the 130-foot point to
strike the vein encountered in the
winze. During the development Of the
mine by Hughes & Threewit they
took out small quantity OF ore run
ming well in silver and copper. In ad-
dition to this there is now on the
plat forty tons Of concentrating ore
ready for shipment
Gilpin observer., 1909-12-30
THE SENATOR MINE.

Harper & Company have lease on
the Senator mine. During the year
the property has been put in shape
for extensive developments. The shaft
house was repaired and painted. An
important feature is the survey late
ly made for a tunnel to be driven in
to the hill from the creek side to
connect with the 562-foot level. This
will prove a great saving in trans
portation. The ore, at present has to
be hauled in wagons necessitating
almost double the requirements for
ordinary transportation Of ore. A
shipment was made on December IA
Of two lots, the ore returning LOS ozs
gold. 41.90 ozs. silver, IL per cent
lead, from 1858 pounds Of ore. The
second shipment from 9,31S net re-
burned Ito ozs. gold and 21.9O ozs.
silver. The showing in this mine is
good. In the southeast of the third
level there is 5-inch streak of
smelling ore and in the back stope
Of the west level of the third fif-
teen inch vein of ore is exposed. 1t
is not all smelling ore, considerable

ment that the ore Of the southeast
level is continuation Of the pocket
Of the second where very high-grade
ore was taken out. During the COM
ing year an air compressor will be
installed and developments in the
fourth level win be continued. This
level is opened for a distance Of
forty feet and shows a good crevice,
some assays from which returned
forty dollars to the ton.
