Returns from a recent car of Paris
ere shipped by the owners, Arvidson
d johnson of Ouray, gave better than
| five ounces in gold to the ton.
Great progress is being made in the
sugar Loaf mine in Boulder county.
| One is being taken out which runs as
high as $21G in gold and So in silver.
More mines are being developed this
| year and more men employed at good
wages than in the last decade. There
are no idle men who could not secure
work if they chose.
James Wright of Cripple Creek,
| president of the 10 Dandy Mining
Company, gave it as his opinion that
the output Of the Cripple Creek dis
trict will be increased at least 40 per
cent within the next year as a result
of drainage by the Roosevelt tunnel
1t is estimated that the production
| from the Forest Queen mine on Iron
clad hill, for 1911, will run close to
| 100000, against one-sixth of that
amount in 1910. The latest ore body
opened is one of the richest being
mined in the camp. Returns as high
as $500 per ton have been received
from screenings.
Kramer Brothers, who are operating
a lease on the Egyptian mine, on
| Quartz hill, Gilpin county, are keeping
| up steady production from the mine.
| During the month of November they
| shipped fifty tons of screenings that
| gave returns of SIG ton, sixteen tons
| af tailings that brought values of $15
q ton, and thirteen cords of mill ore
that yielded one and one-half ounces
| gold to the cord on the plates.
Steve Laner and Company operat-
| ing the Columbia mine at Central City,
are keeping up monthly production
| of good ore. During the past month
| they shipped 30 tons of smelling ore,
worth $50 ounces gold, ounces silver
and 3l2 per cent copper per ton; 50
tons that returned . ounces gold,
ounces silver and 21a per cent copper
per ton; IA cords of mill ore that
yielded ounces gold to the cord, and
| is tons of tailings worth so gold,
| 21a Iounces silver per ton.
Without doubt one of the biggest
! strikes for many a day has been made
| in the American Eagle mine at Grip.
| pie Creek, and within four days two
| cars OF ore were shipped which run
| from $50 to S375 per ton. The Ameri-
| can Eagles is enc of the Stratton es-
| tate properties and located on Bull
| hill For three years it has been
! leased to the Colorado Mines & Invest
ment Company. The strike, which is
new in every particular. was made on
the eleventh level in drift on the
! main Eagles vein, north of the shaft
| and north of the olo Stratton stope
/ from which $1,O0O,O0O was taken out
/ years ago.
The optimist who has been persist
| IN in his belief that the Camp Bird
mine, Ouray, would come through with
new and valuable discoveries now ap-
| PEARS to be the man who guessed
| right. Aside from the comparatively
recent discovery in tie extreme east
| breast of the drift on the Camp Bird
| vein, perhaps one mile east from the
main cross-cut tunnel, and where good
mill ore in payable quantities is be-
ing developed, the shaft going down
1000 feet, to the east of the main tun-
mel, is showing a large body of pay
ore. The discoveries to the east in
dicate an entirely hew ore bearing
zone in the Camp Bird vein. They
also go to prove that for an indefinite
number of years the Camp Bird will

siderable rumber of men.
