THE PRODUCTION OF
PRECIOUS STONES.

1t may perhaps be surprising to
many people to learn that the United
States produces almost every variety
of precious stone - from diamonds
down. The precious stones produced
in this country last year had value
os s295,797, against s534.3s0 in 1909,
according to an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources CT the United
States" on the production of gems
and precious stones in 1910, by Doug
las B. Sterrett, Just published by the
United States Geological Survey.The
large decrease in the output of few
Of the more important gem minerals
-tourmaline, turquoise, chrysoprase.
etc,-says Mr.. Sterrett, readily ac-
counted for the fall in the value OF
production. AS an instance of this de-
crease in production, about SIa tons
of rough turquoise Were produced in
1910, as compared with more than II
tons in 1909.
All tie diamonds produced in this

a number of these stones sold each

although some are polished in the
United States.
In Montana a sapphire weighing
over Az carats has been found. This

IMPROVEMENTS AT
GOLDEN SHELTER.
Plant Will Be Shut Down for 60
Days While These are Being Made.

In their regular advertising space
the North American Smelter and
Mines company, operators of the Col
den smelter, announce that commenc-
ing with the first OF this month their
plant will be closed temporarily. The
exact length Of time Is not stated but
it is presumed by the management
that the shutdown will not be for a
period to exceed go days.
The temporary closing down of the
smelter is made necessary on account
of improvements that the smelter
company have contemplated for some
time, but owing to the large volume
OF business they were required to
handle, it was difficult to set time.
The improvements that will be made
at the plant will consist Of new
furnace and also the installation OF
a converter. This latter improvement
will mean a saving in the treatment
The sampling system is also to be
overhauled, enabling the testing Of
high-grade and low-grade ore separ-
ately..
During the shutdown the railroad
to the company's lime quarries will
also be completed. These quarries
are located several miles from the
smelter.
The new furnace that is to be in
stalled will be of $50 or 800 tons ca
pacity. The two furnaces now in use
vary a great deal in capacity and the
new furnace will be of capacity be-
tween the two. One of the furnaces
the company has been using is OF
$50 tons capacity and the other 500
tons. In putting in the new furnace,
it is the intention OF the Golden
smelter to handle quantities of ore
in less than car lots, which they can
not do under present arrangements.
The resumption of operations at
the Golden smelte- will be anxiously
awaited by the large number of pro-
ducers who shipped their ore to this
popular plant. That the smelter will
be better equipped to handle ore and
can take. small lots will also be pleas
ing news to the numerous lease-s in
this section.

tains that this will not be made pub

with their records Of past produc
tion running into the scores Of mil
Hons should remain idle, when the
opportunity for low cost Of mining Is
at hand, is a calamity not only to
Glpin county but the world at large.
The Saratoga and Old Town mines
continue to make regular shipments
Of ores via the tunnel.
A recent strike Of grey copper and
lead ore in the Gem at a point 400
feet east Of the tunnel bore is but
another proof that values continue G
with depth. This new strike which
is three feet wide is valued at $4,000
per ton.
Manager Shirmer states that all in
terested parties who wish to inves-
tigate the many many advantages
the tnunel affords are welcome at
amy time and for any new business
he will meet them more than half
way. This is in contrast to the pol
icy of the former management.
The business men and mine oper-
ators Of this county are certainly
missing their grandest opportunities
in neglecting to avail themselves of
the many rich propositions that are
in sight on the line of the tunnel.
With a knowledge Of past produc-
tion of these many properties and
the proven certainty that greater
rewards are to be had with deep min
ing. it is high time that they awake
from their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and

The shaft will Immediately be sunk

drift will be run to connect with the
winze and thus open up the block OF
ground foc stoping operations.
Development thus far had on this
property reveals riches in gold un-
equalled in the history of the camp.
Six samples of the ore from the new
ore shoot, assayed today, gave re-
turns for the poorest of 1912 ounces
gold, % ounces silver, the highest
337 ounces gold, 81 ounces silver,
while the balance ran from 25 to
116 ounces gold and 20 to 81 ounces
silver, making an average of better
than 100 ounces gold to the ton.
Shipments of ore taken out in the
necessary dead work of development.
from May 1st to October 1st, last.
amount to a net value of S25, 90
leaving the slopes to be worked later.
The present bottom of the shaft
is all in GRE of high grade, which Is
undoubtedly part of the same shoot.
The Oliver lease has recently had
returns from shipments of 10 ounces
to- the ton in gold values A new
lease on some surface ground has
uncovered an entirely new vein with
values of 1.60 ounces gold per ton.
Shipments are being made from the
dumps that return from Il to 1.25
ounces gold per ton. 1t appears that
all the workings give good values in
gold and there is no barren ores in
the mine.

U. s. INVESTIGATING
MINERS CONSUMPTION.
DR.. s. c. Hotehkiss is at the Teller
House Making Examinations Free.

DR.. s. C. Hotchkiss of the U. S
Bureau Of Mines, who is investigating
the prevalence and causes of lung
disease among miners in this state
has returned to this city and will
continue his Investigations here un.
till November 9Th.
1t is well known fact that there
is a large amount of lung disease
among the miners in this county, SO
much, in fact, that at least sixty per
cent Of the deaths among miners
have been due to disease of the
lungs. Many of these deaths have
been in young men who might have
lived twenty or thirty years longer
than they did.
The U. S. government is interest
ed in the miner, and especially in
protecting his health, and has sent
pr. Hotchkiss to the various mining
districts of this state to ascertain
how much sickness there is among
men working in mines and what
causes this sickness. The object of
this work is to make recommenda-
tfons which will improve conditions
SO that in the future mining will be
a more healthy occupation than it is
in some districts at the present time.
This investigation is of vital i'm
portance to the men working at min
ing and they should cooperate in
every way. They can do so by meet
ing the doctor at the Teller House
between the hours of 2 to and to
8, where he will be pleased to ex-
anime them and advise them of their
condition. This examination is, Of
course, without expense.
The doctor wishes especially to see
men who have worked in the mines
for number of years, and who may
have some shortness of breath
when they walk up hill-who have
some cough-which seems to come
from their throat just below their
Adams apple, and also have stomach
trouble or asthma.
DIR. Hotchkiss will be in town only
until next Monday morning, SO come
early. -

PREPARING TO

FIhere has been a persistent rune,
OF late that it is the intention O
ISternberger Bros, to drive a lonf
level west on the Emerson ore body
recently encountered in the Lucanis
tunnel, to ascertain the continuity oi
the shoot. This work will be done
Though the tunnel. While Mr.. Leo
pold StS.nberger has been reticent
as, to the purposes of himself and
brother, the fact that they are just
completing an assay office at the
mouth of York gulch looks very much
Ike thsy contemplate mining opera
tions very soon. Mr.. F. Meyer, the
assayer in charge, is also chemist
and metallurgist of note. and COM
plste analyses of the different var
ietIes of ore in the various portions
Of 3the property will keep pace with
development.
The Inauguration of this mining at
the great depth of 1000 feet from
tho apex of the vein is most import
am. 1t will prove up virgin terri
toy at depth, add immensely to the
output Of the district and assure per-
manent operations in portion Of the
caapp that has had too little investi-
gatlon up to this time, although no
do4bt existed as to the merits of the
fiseures. In addition to these advant-
aS4s, this purposed mining on a large
sc4e means the employment Of the
transportation facilities of the Lu-
canta tunnel, thus inaugurating one
Of Its cardinal purposes and serve to
stimulate its stockholders in advanc-
ing that important bore into other
rich territory. We learn that by the
middle of the coming month the pres
ents contract of 1,5O0 feet Of tunnel
driving will be finished. There have
been Indications Of late that another
vein is being approached, and the
present contract may have still other
incentives for the steady pushing of
the bore on to Quartz and Gunnen
hills, over in Gilpin county.
