This office is in receipt of most cheer
ing letter from that wide awake pushing
gentleman, Frank f. Wire, Secretary
Treasurer of the Gilpin Imperial mining
Company, which he is financing and
managing in the spirit that betokens
success. The efforts of himself and
associates will be concentrated in min
ing in Clear Creek and Gilpin counties.
The company is so far financed that it
will not be long before the stock will be
taken off the market. 1t has been listed
with the Denver Consolidated Stock Ex-
change for a short period, but it is not
the intention of the company to leave
the treasury stock thus listed for
lengthy time, as within the next thirty
days it is expected all will be placed
that it is desirable to part with. The
company has a sufficient amount OF
money and gilt edge notes on hand to
place it on easy street. They have a
first class property near the Saratoga
and that is already turning out ore.
The operations now are being carried on
through the Newhouse tunnel.
