Golden Gold Hill.

For sometime past manager j. }.
Hoban has been eXerting his energies
and giving his time in behalf of the
Gold Hill Mining and Investment COM
pany with view of reorganizing the
company on a more substantial and
effective basis. He has been in COM
munication with the stockholders and
the replies received from large num-
Der of them gives him assurance of
backing as well as their confidence in
his plans. AS soon as the papers are
ready the organization will be eff
fected after which the work will be
carried ON in a systematic, econom-
ical and practical mine-lihe manner.
During all the ups and downs of this
company Mr.. Hoban has stayed by it
faithfully and loyalty in the interest
of the stockholders who wanted to
see the proposition made success
because he realized the profitable out
come of proper development of the
claims. The group is cut by the Den
mark tunnel that is now in a distance
of over six hundred feet. Several ex-
cellent veins have been opened up
along it's course but it was not
thought good mining to stop and de-
velop these until the richer veins
ahead had been reached, after which
all of them could be opened up sim
ultaneousiy and to better advantage.
The claims are situated up Chicago
Creek about a mile from the town
and on what is known as Gold Hill.
1t is gold producing section and one
that is coming to the front in good
shape.

A New Railroad

The Colorado and Southern officials
should consider the question favor
ably of running railroad from Idaho
Springs to Alice. There should be
no delay in giving this important
move prompt attention. 1t is a sec
ton naturally tributary to this com
pany and it is not long before Fall
river will be a large shipping country
The rival of the company on the
north is very active one and already
it is beginning to extend its tenta-
Acles in the direction of the Alice min
branch line up the Fall river valley
would not be an expensive PROPOSE
ton. If the c. & S. road is to be
electrified as all reports seem to in
dicate it will be an easy matter to
run electric trains on this new
branch line at a minimum expense.
Whether this change in the motive
power of the company is to be made
soon or not, the fact is still apparent
that the branch line should be built
and operated by this company 1t
would be the means of very rapid
development of what is to become
great mining section and it should
be tributary to Idaho Springs milling
facilities instead of sending its out
put in another direction. This is
matter that our Chamber of Com
merce could consider in a most ap-
propriate manner and secure facts and
figures to show why such road
should be built 1t is a very lmpor-
tant question 1t should not be per-
mitted to remain in somnolent
shape. The enterprising mining class
along the course of such road VIII
extend the most enthusiastic assis-
tance. Someone however must take
lead in this matter and push. AS
il is of most interest to this city to
have this line instead of seeing one
in a different direction, this paper be-
lieves the Chamber Of Commerce
should take the initiative and not let
I'm until success is the result. STAND

Recently the active Hummingbird

Recently the active Hummingbird
Mining company purchased the Big
Chief lode mining claim, formerly
known as the Vindicator, located up
Spring Gulch near the Lord Byron,
Fraction, Kitty Clyde, Metropolitan
and other well known properties In
the development of this claim some
fine free gold ore has been opened
up. One streak of quartz that is
about six inches in width shows assay
values of $50 ounces of gold or $500
per ton, another assay showed values
of $40 ounces in gold while samples
taken from small seams assayed
5000 ounces or a value of $10-
14400. Richard Staley the manager,
took one hundred and sixty pound
lot and run it through the little one
stamp mill that Mr.. H. Baker con-
structed up Chicago creek and from
this mill run he got an ounce of gold.
He will push this work without inter-
ruption and believes he has struck
a veritable gold mine of very large
proportions.

A Kansas Booster.

Among those who recently spent
several days in this section investi-
eating mining conditions was H. L.
Wait, editor of the Centralia (kan-
sas) Journal. During his four days
visit here he devoted his time most
assiduously and practically in obtain
ing information that would enable
him to form a liberal and intelligent
conception of what mining is and
means. His mission in particular was
to ascertain facts in reference to the
General Consolidated Mines company
and the result is expressed in the
following editorial taken from his
paper:
Last week the editor spent sew
eral days in Idaho Springs, Colo,
looking over the properties of the
General Consolidated Mines Co. There
was a large party on the same mis-
sion and all were there for business.
They thoroughly inspected things and
every member of the party was more
than pleased with what they saw at
the various properties visited, and
also the manner in which the busin-
ess of the company is being conducted
This certainly speaks volumes for the
company and it's management, as all
in the party were successful business
men and know things when they see
them
1T was very gratifying to us to
see the excellent holdings of this COM
pany and see the rapid progress
they are making.
"Dr. ]. Enos Wait is president Of
this company, and on his several WIS.,
it's here has talked to a number of
people about the company and their
properties. We saw things just as
they are out therein the tunnels,
down shafts, and through the work
ings On these trips Of inspection we
gathered samples of ore that we
have here in the office that were
broken from the veins in the various
mines.
.It is certainly wonderful to see
the vast amount of work that is 60
ing on in this great mining district,
located 81 miles west Of Denver,
Colo"

From Alice.

The foil, ing communication has
been relc.'ed from Alice, Colorado,
and which is given space in these
columns as it contains many items
of interest;
Thinking that few items will be
acceptable from this camp, l take
pleasure in sending you the same.
For several years our mining section
has been rather quiet but since Shat
fer and company have taken hold of
the Alice property things have chang
ed and new hope and zeal have been
started. We think we have one of
the livliest gold mining camps in the
county, New locations are constant
ly being made and almost everywhere
on the mountains can be seen men
at work opening up new claims and
making good gold finds. The condi-
tions promise to see this one of the
most active seasons ever experienced
here. Prospectors and settlers are
coming in and we will soon show
good increase in population. The
Alice company is putting up new
buildings for their employees and as
the new road is now finished between
here and Idaho Springs, the work
of hauling lumber, materials etc, for
the 900 ton mill will begin which
means the employment of a large
force of men. There is not an idle
man IN the district. The Anna Tasker
company of Colorado Springs is driv-
ing the tunnel on its fine group of
claims and will soon cut large vein.
One of the veins, the r. e. Lee, has
ore that shows $4,000 per ton and
is a large vein. The work of the com
pany is managed by Mr.. Bixler. The
Sierra. Nevada company has started
new tunnel on it's property. 1t has
large bodies of ore and a heavy ton
age on the dump ready for shipment
while "a large force is employed.
Among other improvements is mill
built.by r. V. Martin that is RUM
Ing da& and night on free milling ore
which scarries high values in gold.
He has fine group of claims and
will soc make additions to his mill
so asr to do custom work. We need
the latter as there is plenty of ore
for a custom mill and an enterpris,
ing man can do well here. Jake Whit
ter of Denver has located good
IL rc;S inc Of
is actively pushing work on them.
He has rich ore showings. Being
an old Colorado miner he has inves-
tigated and prospected this camp care
fully and as a result has great falth
in it's future. One of his claims, the
Sky High, has a foot of ore that runs
high in gold values. Nick Klaus has
also promising group OF claims
and is driving a crosscut tunnel to
intersect all of them. The Ora Yer
de company has started up work. on
it's mines and has ore that runs
from $4,000 to $SO000 per ton. The
company has very large holdings
Walders and company have STRUCK
good lot of free milling ore and
carries free gold in good quantities
They expect to make twenty tor
shipment to Denver in short time
While people are taking up claims
rapidly yet there are many good ones
available at present but the way IN
which they are being located Will
soon make them very scarce. The
weather up nero is fine and fisher
men are having a good time fishing
in the MANY lakes around here and
with good results. Snow has nearl!
all gone on the mountain sides.

The opening of the Opera House on
Monday night under the management
Of Schoelkppf and Moscript was OF a
most auspicious nature. The Clayson
family sustained their excellent repu-
tation and the crowded house showed
due appreciation. The moving pic
lures were OF the best and each ev-
ening during the week when the house
was light, the patrons were thorough
ly pleased. Many improvements have
been made in the building by the
managers all of which tends to the
convenience Of the public. The open
ing Of the Trocadero last Saturday
evening under the same management
was also pronounced success and

set aside for the lovers of the merry

that the guests are to have some

and there is not a visitor who does
not go away with his measure (and a
great big one) filled to overflow
ing with gratitude, profound respect
and humping remembrances of his
overjoyed entertainment. Among
the latest arrivals were Theodore

The Kansas City Star publishes
the following story in reference to
George Jackson and the monument
erected here in commemoration of
the discovery of gold in paying guam
titles in the Rocky Mountains. While
1t is the same in substance as articles
heretofore published in the Siftings-
News, yet it has spice about it that
will be appreciated by the readers.
Glasgow. Mo.-In this old town
on the banks of the Missouri river
still stands the house in which George
jackson, the discoverer of gold in
the Rocky mountains, was born. A
monument to Jackson to commemor-
ate the fiftieth anniversary of his dis
covery was recently unveiled in Idaho
Springs, Colo. In the days before the
war Kit Carson used to return every
summer to his home near here, and
the stories he told of adventures on
the plains fired the young men of this
place with ambition to be trappers
and Indian fighters, too. George Jack
and in 1859, when he was 19 years
old, he induced Carson to take him
on trapping and prospecting trip in
the Rocky mountains.
While prospecting in the noun
tains a snowstorm came upon them
and Jackson became separated from
his companions. Accompanied by his
two dogs, he sought his friends sew
eral days. His provisions ran low and
the weather became biting cold. He
feared to build a fire because that
would attract the attention of the
hostile Indians, who would not hesi-
tate to kill Finally he suffered SO
much from the cold that he was
forced to build a fire. This he did be-
meath an old tree, the branches of
which he used for fuel. There he
camped three days. January Z, 1853,
while he was dressing an antelope he
had killed, his belt knife dug up
piece of ore that attracted his atten-
ton. He washed it and discovered it
to be a nugget of gold.
jackson made sure that it was
gold Then he burned the tree in Or
der that the charred trunk would
mark the spot, and again set out to
find his companions. He was success
full this time To Tom Golden he con-
fided the story OF his discovery and
showed the nugget of gold. They re-
turned to the place and started
mine, which later became the Jack
son Bar mine. The original nugget
was set in a ring and this ring was
worn by Jackson's mother for years.
After she died Jackson presented the
ring to Judge France of Denver.
jackson did not benefit by his
discovery of gold. When the civil
war began he returned to Glasgow
and joined the Confederate forces and
became a captain He took part in
the battle of Glasgow After the war
he went to Utah and was killed ac-
cidentally twelve years ago"
