MILL FOR GOLD COLLAR.

Included in the good news that
comes to the residents of this sec
tion is that Alfred Skeels, who went
east the early part of the month to
consult his people regarding the erec-
tion of mill for the Gold Collar
property, has met with success and
has received the consent of his stock
holders and directors to erect a %
stamp mill as soon as possible. The
plant will be built near the proper
ty in Prosser gulch. Manager Skeels
has looked into the matter thorough
ly and says the proposition is a most
feasible one and will prove big mon
ey maker for the company in the
way of saving the values in the ore
and m / n G transporta-
tion charges. He says he can ar
range for plenty of water and can
keep mill such as the company pro-
poses erecting busy constantly on
ore from the Gold Collar.
A good-sized force OF miners, under
the superintendency of VIM. Bishop,
is at work in the Gold Collar and
there are numerous bodies of good
ore. The erection of mill is a wise
move on the part of the Gold Collar
people, as is any step that tends to
lessen expenses in the handling of
the mine product with increased saw
ing of values. Mr.. Skeels is expect
ed home the latter part of the week.

BUILDING POWER LINE.

Next week the Gilpin County L. H.
& P. company wifi commence work
on a power line to be run from the
West Calhoun mine to the Eureka
mill. The distance the wire is to be
stretched is $500 feet. 1t will follow
route along such mines as the
Kirk, Alps. German, Belcher, Califor-
MIA, English Kansas, Hubert mill,
Golden Treasure, Concrete and Gold
Collar The object in having the line
take this course is to afford power
to any of the properties mentioned
should they install electrical equip
ment.
The power line is being extended
to the Eureka mill as 1t is the inten-
tion of the Eureka company to oper-
ate their new plant with electrical
machinery. 1t will require 10 days to
complete the line to the mill. The
electrical equipment for the Eureka
people has been ordered and is ex-
pected within the next thirty days.
The mill is enclosed and by the time
that the electrical machinery order
ed reaches here and is installed, the
plant will be ready for operation.

A NEW PRODUCER.

A man owns valuable piece of
improved real estate. He would better
conditions could he do so without
detriment to this asset. He remember
ed a proven circumstance of his real
estate being in location where prov
en- veins of mineral exist. 1t wasn't
exactly a dream that suggested the
idea. But he did look out of his back
bed room window one day and he
saw fortune loom large before his
eyes. A few feet from where he stood
were unmistakable signs of a good
out crop. Probably, to continue the
good omen, he may have crawled out
of the window backwards instead OF
taking the usual method OF exit from
the house by the front or kitchen
door. Suffice that he began to dig in
his front yard until he reached n
depth of thirty or more feet and Is
rewarded with $50 ore. which he Is

ALPS AGAIN WORKING.

The new building and machinery
placed on the Alps mine to replace
the shaft house and equipment des-
troyed by fire a little more than a
month ago, was completed last week.
Immediately following the completion
of the building work of hoisting the
water from the main shaft was start
ed. The shaft has been drained and
miners went to work Tuesday Of this
week.
Considerable ore was broken in the
submarine shaft before the fire and
as soon as this shaft is freed from
the water, this ore will be hoisted
to the surface. Within a week it is
expected that this ore will be reach
ed and within 10 days the good ship
ments reported from the Alps just
before the fire put a stop to opera
tions, will be resumed.

A NORTHERN PROPERTY,

H. F. Lynch, of Black Hawk, who
is looking after operations at the
Grand Union property two miles
above Rollinsville, when in from that
section the latter part of the week,
had very encouraging report to
give out. The Grand Union is a tun-
mel proposition and has been worked
the past two years by ]. H. Elpass
and others. Mr.. Elpass has recently
formed stock company and intends
to put up a plant of machinery next
month.
The tunnel has been driven 500
feet. On top of the hill where a shaft
has been sunk to a depth of so feet,
there is a fine body of ore. This runs
as high as $4,000 and $1,000 to the
ton. The rich ore which is exposed
in the shaft is about to be cut by
the tunnel Years ago when the
Grand Union was worked some start
ling values were uncovered. Ship
ments were made to Black Hawk that
ran unusually high, the concentrates
alone going 100000 to the ton.
There are 22 claims in the Grand
Union group and it is the intention
of the company to carry on develop
ment on most extensive scale as
soon as the machinery is installed.
Another very promising property,
situated just across the gulch from
the Grand Union, is that of Pete Feb
renbaugh. There is a group of eight
claims. The owner has been carrying
on work steadily during the past five
years and has ore carrying very flat
tering assays. This is also a tunnel
proposition and is in 200 feet. 1t is
anticipated that the ore shoot will
be struck within the next two
or three weeks.

DEM0CRAT|C-C|T|zEN CONTROL Of THE CITY
COMPARED WITH PAST REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION

to Judge of the hyphenated journals
claim of economy for the Guggenheim
wing of the Republicans in this city.
A cast iron pipe line 5000 feet
long has been laid from Eureka street
reservoir to Wilson ranch to replace
the wooden line, which had outlived
it's usefulness and aside from the
danger of leaving the city without
water in midsummer, was, on ac-
count of it's decayed condition, a
constant source of danger to the peo-
pie of the city of an epidemic of
typhoid fever.
This pipe line is constructed in
such a manner and of such material
and of sufficient size to supply the
inhabitants of the city with plenty
of water for the next five or six gen
erations, and there has been no time
since it was put in, winter or summer
that there has not been an overflow
at the reservoirs.
The residents Of that section are
assured an adequate supply Of water
and much better fire protection.
The upper Eureka street part of
the water system was reconstructed.
The old Wilson wooden reservoir be-
ing in use for over 35 years was con-
ueUlUeu. A new SlOLc anu CelutHI res
ervoir was built and 4-inch pipe line
was laid for a distance of 1400 feet,
increasing the pressure from 20 to
70 pounds. Two fire plugs have been
placed so that part of the city now
has fire protection and an ample sup
ply of water for domestic and sani-
tary purposes.
A new road has been constructed
near the reservoir site at James
Peak, and with little more work
materials can be delivered by wagon.
In fact there has been more work
of a permanent nature done on the
water works during the past three
years and at less cost than at any
time in the history of the city.
And how about the fumes and
streets?

MINER OR FARMER?

The mines have made all things
possible in Colorado. Prosperity as
sured there seems an apparent fall
ing off in interest due in a measure
to the more alluring speculative call
for arid irrigated lands. How anyone
who has ever tasted of the thrall of
seeking for treasure can desert is
something not explainable except
upon grounds of dissatisfaction with
results. But it is not so much that
either. A new condition has arisen,
and, like fad must run its course.
No one should begrudge the welfare
of the state, whether agriculture or
mining is uppermost.
The fact is lost sight of that the
money to buy the farm comes out of
the ground. 1t is what might be call
ed a first-hand product, in that with
out it little could be done financially
or commercially. OF course this ap-
plies to the metal gold, the basis of
our monetary system.
To desert from the fascinationsf of
mining to go over to the more pro-
sale way of farming, seems a veritable
come down. 1t is time that success
full farm to support a family much
more readily than any other calling.
Barring a few essentials like cloth
ing, the products from the farm can
give family almost all else required.
But unless the farm is good one,
that is about all one can hope for,
excepting the huge farm that makes
a specially of large acreages of wheat
or other cereals.
But the adage, that one must live,
it is an easy graduation from the
agricultural pursuits. So it is often
found that the miner has left his
pick for the hoe, because, possibly
the fortune anticipated in mining did
not materialize, whether due to lack
of persistence or what, it is hard to
find out, for the failures are less
often referred to than the successes.
The conclusions are that the man
is often caught in a new wave of
emotion, such as is sweeping over
the west at the present time. Real
estate has a veritable boom, with
Colorado probably in the first rank
due to the cheapness of the land and
the inducements offered by irrigation
projects.

AVON MILL LEASED.

A lease has been taken on the
Avon mill in Nevada gulch by John
Roberts, John Hawn, Joe Williams
and F. S. Bolsinger. The same is be-
ing cleaned and placed in readiness
for operation and will be started
about the first of the month. The
Avon mill has been idle for six years.
1t was last operated when the Gun
nell mine was being worked. When
the shaft buildings and machinery
were destroyed by fire on the Gun
nell and the mine ceased work, the
Avon mill was forced to shut down as
the water used in the mill was pump
ed from the Gunnell and piped to
the mill. There is water enough at
present in Nevada gulch to enable
the mill to run for some time. When
this supply diminishes water will be
pumped from the Pozo or some other
mine in that vicinity. The mill will be
run exclusively on San Juan ore,
property which is being worked un-
der lease by the same pool that will
operate the mill.
The Avon mill has 80 stamps and
Is said to be one of the best plants
in this county. Although idle for a
period Of six years, the building has
been looked after and has been kept
in good repair. But little work will
be necessary to place the equipment
in condition for crushing ore. Mr..
Bolsinger will devote what few
moments he can spare each day from
the sheriff's office to managing the
mill. For the present only one shift
will be run.
