ORE SHIPMENTS.
Higher Values in the Ore But Less
Tonnage is Reported.

Shipments of ore from Black Hawk
by the railroad during the year have
fallen below the returns of last year
in so far as tonnage amount is con-
large amount of concentrates, which
increases the value twice over what
it would have been were the ship
ments confined to the crude ore
direct from the mines. Then another
factor reducing the number Of cars
is that the cars now convey twenty
previously handled by the railroad.
Summarized it means that while few
er cars were required the shipments
Of concentrates have increased and
the values contained are greater. An
other cause of decrease for the
year is that several of the larger
mines, Pewabic, for instance. closed
down for three months; and another
shipper, the Old Town, ore leased and
going through the tunnel also the
Anchor, which is doing development
work. These facts are CLEANED from
Mr.. D. w. Taylor, the general agent
at Black Hawk.
At the beginning of the year the
Saratoga will start shipping, and
through Mr.. Fleschhutz's management,
the Pewabic will begin shipping on
a larger scale than ever. The Topeka
also starts up with large tonnage.
The Frontenac produced large tom
mage and had been good patron of
the railroad, but this is reduced by
cars. Following are the shipments for
ue of that which went out.
The Gilpin R. R. has tracks to
mines that are producing good tom
mage, which now goes principally to
the mills and sampler, consequently
this reduces the crude ore consider
ably All ore that has been milled re-
duces the tonnage of shipments by
the railroad to outside points.
The shipments from Black Hawk
by the Colorado & Southern do not
exceed any previous month of last
year except that Of October. The
total being 1883 reduction of 324
cars.F ollowing are the shipments for
two years:

AN UNCONSCIOUS AGENT.


1t is. not, generally known but a

sciously assisted ip demonetizing sill
yer. The gentleman in question was
one of the lucky ones" of that
camp. selling an interest in his mine
for a good sum just one year after
its location and while the property
was mere prospect. He hied him
to Denver. There he. was taken up
by a party who organized the Man
haitian Smelling & Refining Works,
with offices in the Griffith block,
corner Eighteenth and Larimer
streets, just opposite the Windsor
hotel. This part of the town was
then the most promising, from an
investment point Of view.
The man from Aspen financed the
enterprise and the firm was compos-
ed Of four people: A brother, brother
in-law and the promoter of the
scheme, which was a remarkable one.
This company became agents of four

Eilers, American, Harrison and Grant
The man who engineered the enter
prise was in close touch with the re-
finery located at Jersey City, the
largest and probably the only refinery
in the country at the time.
Well, Leadville was shipping bull
lion at the time in cattle cars. 1t
was great sight to see the train
loads of white metal draw into the
yards at Denver. Most of this went
through the hands of the above NAM

monotinous. The head of the firm
must go to New York to expedite
matters. 1t cost lot of money.
Many influential parties must be
seen. The Seligmans had finger in
it, representing the Rothschild inter
ests then the most conspicuous peo-
pie in financial affairs in the world.
Many consultations were held. The
bullion was coming too fast. The
works could not handle it owing to
the limited capacity. Then, inasmuch
as the bullion was so much money
the smelter people demanded cash
on delivery, it was that which broke
the camel's back. The country, the
refinery groaned under SO much
wealth. Prices were beginning to tot
ter. The money power became alarm
ed at the great influx of wealth that
poured in from the silver mines of
the west. John Sherman was enlisted
in the cause. Remedial measures of
a temporary nature were made, such
as limiting the purchase to so many
ounces of silver, this was followed
by silver's downfall upon it's demone.
