WORKING FOR MILL
MONEY FOR THE SHELTON
PLANT BEING SUBSCRIBED
MEANS MUCH FOR COUNTY.

S. P. Weller, president of the Den
yer Quartz Mill and Crusher COM
pany, was in the city Tuesday and
Wednesday in the interest of the
mill that is to be erected by the
Shelton Milling G. Refining company.
Mr. Weller was interviewed by an
observer reporter in regard to the
proposition and found him most en-
thusiastic over the venture. He as
sured the writer that the Quartz mill
company had such great confidence
in the proposed mill as a profitable
venture his people had agreed to fur
nish what assistance they could, fl
nancially and otherwise.
Dwelling upon the benefits to the
county to be derived from the mill
Mr.. Weller said:
This mill will be paying invest
ment from the day it starts. While we
are starting with fifty ton plant, it
will be question of but a short time
until the plant will be enlarged to
handle from 500 to 1000 tons of ore
per day. AS every citizen of Gilpin
county knows there is untold thous-
ands Of low grade ore in this district
that can be handled at a nice profit
by the Denver Quartz mill. There is
nothing that will give this camp and
Central City such a start as a mill
of this nature. This is a proposition
that every BUSINESS man of Central
City and Black Hawk should interest
themselves in. The Shelton Milling
& Refining company is incorporated
under the laws of Colorado and cap
italized for $4,000. There will be a
small amount of stock sold for so
cents a share, which is full paid and
non -assessable.
There is no doubt but that Cen
trail City can be made one of the big
mining camps of Colorado if the busi-
ness men will give it their support
both morally and financially. Anyone
wishing to investigate this matter
further, l will be glad to take the
matter up with them if they will
write me at my office, 1710 Broad
way, Denver, or inquiring of Pearl
Shelton who is in Central City hav-
ing this project in hand"

Christmas Precautions.

If you wish to be sure the delivery
of your Christmas gifts by Uncle
Sam it will be wise to take precau-
tions which will cost you no more
expense or time than if you were
careless or Indifferent about the mat
ter.
Be sure that your packages are
well wrapped and tied with light
but stout twine. Tie it in such a
manner that the twine will not slip
from the package. Make the package
as compact as possible. If you wish
to send something that is liable to
be crushed place it in a small light
weight tin or stout pasteboard box
well wrapped and tied. Next properly
address the package. The name of
the person and town and state is
not alone sufficient. If the party lives
in the city, then the street and num-
Der are important to secure correct
delivery. If they live on a rural
route in the country, give the num-
Der of the route and number of the
box. With these precautions the
packages are not likely to go astray

Topeka STRIKES It
ORE CARRYING HEAVY VALUES
IN FREE GOLD OPENED UP IN
THE SEVENTH LEVEL.

Active mining operations, follow
ing the necessary preliminary work
incident to getting a property in
shape for activity that had been idle
ten years, are hardly begun at the
Topeka mine when the news is her
aided to all parts of the county that
a strike which outrivals in richness
anything yet discovered in this great
bonanza has been made.
This week in an upraise on the
hanging wall vein, 100 feet above
the seventh level and directly over
where the rich ore body was encoun-
tered ten years ago, free gold was
opened into worth thousands Of dol
lars ton. When last worked this
valuable stuff was continuous in the
upraise for 40 feet. This upraise has
been continued since operations were
resumed on the Topeka for the pur-
pose of connecting with the Harker
shaft, which is mid way between the
east and west Topeka shafts on the
hanging wall vein. 1t is this vein
that carries the white quartz and
gold broken into this week.
Samples taken from the vein show
the gold values in the ore to be
equally as heavy as that which pro-
duced such fabulous returns before
the Topeka became tied up in litiga-
ton. One of the last shipments made
from the mine before 1t was closed
established record for rich gold
bearing ore One shipment of "a tons
from the gold streak just below this
recent find, averaged S1110.S5 a ton.
From this lot LII tons was selected
and this amount returned s61,S49.
1t has been known during the
period of idleness of the Topeka that
rich ore still existed in the seventh
level Of the mine and the wonder
was when the property reopened If
this streak would again be encount-
cred. The news of this weeks dis
covery consequently occasioned nc
surprise, although the report was en-
Enthusiastically received in all quarters.
1t is a decided impetus to mining
in the district for a famous produc-
er at the commencement of a new
year to have so rich a showing. 1t
is important in that 1t emphasizes
more strongly than ever that no mat
ter how long the mines of this coun-
ty may have been worked, and re-
gardless of what they have produced
the ore bodies are inexhaustible and
little exploration or development is
all that is necessary to transfer the
average property from the list OF
idlers TO the steady and profitable
producers.
In the Topeka find the entire coun'
ty rejoices. 1t is source of pleas
ure to all to know that II. p. Lowe
the principal owner OF this excellent
property, has come into his own, Sc
TO speak and is to be repaid several
fold for the trouble and expense he
was put to in defending his interests
in suit lasting nearly ten years and
which for almost a decade impaired
the prosperity of Gilpin county
through the inactivity OF one OF its
leading mines.
