MINES WIN AGAIN.

The Gilpin Mines team played er-

with the Fry & McGills. The work
of the Mines battery was hard to

the basemen and the fielders was
most commendatory. Owing to the

time and for this reason only five
innings were played. The Mines won
easily by seven runs, shutting out
their opponents completely. Summary

JAMES PEAK SECTION
is RECEIVING ATTENTION

AS result of the laudable move
ment of the Denver Chamber of Com

the purpose OF sending prosrector.
to the mountains in the search o.
undiscovered riches, big finds have
been had in our county. Discoveries
have been reported on the eastern
| base of James Peak, many samples
from same show results by assays
conducted under the auspices of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce give
results in gold from a trace to
100000 per ton. A new mining camp
has been born within the confines OF
this, the mother camp of the state.
A mass meeting of those interested
in this new camp will be held on
Sunday next at Tolland to effect a
permanent organization TO bring to
the attention OF the investing pub
lie the rich results that may be had
in this James Peak section.
a permanent organization will be
formed and committees of those in
terested will be named to see that
the new finds in the camp are devel-
oped in a systematic manner.
The new mineral area comprises a
tract about three miles wide and six
miles long and situated about five
miles from the Apex of James Peak.
Those who can spare the time from
their present labors, might do well
to look into this new find that prom
ises SO much. The formation as re-
ported is metamorphosed granite.

traversed by numerous porphry dykes

grubstaking committee is to be con-
graduated on the finds as reported.
there are many other sections OF
the Little Kingdom of Gilpin that
would reward the prospector for his
toll. The northern section OF the
county is replete with undeveioped
veins. The Wide Awake and Pe-igo
districts together with the Yankee
Fill. Pine Creek. Twelve Mile, YER
million, Silver Lake, Wisconsin. In

and South Boulder would all reward
the diligent searcher after gold.
There never was a time when a
little, careful prospecting will SO ems

general public is awake to the value
of the new possibilities in mining
and is now anxious to aid in the
development OF same.
The citizens of Gilpin county vel
come these new Argonauts and will
endeavor to aid in every legitimate

The law passed by the last legis-
lature. increasing the width of new

grubstaking a few individuals to find

is altogether unnecessary as the

ORATORS SOAKED THE SAME
AS THOSE OF oILPrN.

Our attention was called this week
to an ore settlement statement
which showed peculiar features. The
quantity of ore was a little over sew
en- tons. The assays showed that
with other values it contained 10 per
cent lead. The shipper was given a.
smelter rate of $3.50 per ton and as
1t was pretty good. ore that seems a
reasonable charge and offers little
ground for complaint. No one could
successfully condemn the smelter for
charging $3.50 per ton for the reduc-
tion of ore worth approximately
$4,000 per ton. BUT-in order to get
the rate aforesaid the shipper was
obliged to class his ore as dry ore.
that is to ignore its lead contents,
and in SO doing he got larger check
| than would have given him under the
lead schedule, So that our shipper
paid for the seven tons, $500 treat

lead worth at market quotations

One of the principal reasons for
the kick of the ore producer as set

that the treatment price for ore set

trust, is misleading and does not full
ly cover the cost OF obtaining the

shipped. With state control of this
industry, each and every ore ship

for the smelling of his product. The
'smelter trustSwil net ..then-4bs able
to quote low charge for treatment
and hide in that charge the deduct
ions of percentage which they now
arbitrarily make
Take for an instance the paying of
but $500 per ounce for gold on all
ores in excess of two ounces and
less while ores in excess of two
ounces are allowed $3.50 per ounce,
and an arbitrary charge made in
proportion to the values contained
in same. This figures a discount in
the first quoted instance on gold
alone of above eight per cent. A
nice rich profit in itself. To hide
their excessive charges in ores con-
tanning higher gold values the trust
raises the so-called smelter charges
in proportion to the enhanced gold
contents.
