RAILS COUNTY MINE HAS Ex-
TENsIvE BODIES OF GOOD ORE
FOR NEW MILL THAT THE CON-
PANY MAY ERECT.

County mine, left Tuesday morning
for the east where he will consult
his people in regard to the erection
of mill or some suitable reduction
plart for the treatment OF Rails
County ore. During his absence, II.
c. Bolsinger will have charge of the
property and in an interview with
formed that the development work
that is being carried on is daily ex-
posing large bodies of valuable ore.
During the course o. the interview
yesterday with Mr.. Bolsinger Fer
tanning to the Rails County property
he said:
81 deem the recent discoveries in
the Rails County TO be beyond
question of doubt the greatest that
have been exposed in the Quartz
Hill district for a number of years.
When this fact is taken into con
sideration. that the Rails County
main shaf; is at the present time
about 700 feet in depth, and being
located as II is in the very heart
of what Is known to be the richest
half mile square in the state OF Colo
RADIO or elsewhere. II is hard TO con
template the full extent Of this inn
portant strike.
81 wish to say in connection with
the operation OF the Rails County
mine, the property is net being work
ed for the purpose of making a large
production at the present time for
the reason that It is the intention OF
the company to construct mill for
the treatment of the large bodies
of ore that have been orened UP in
the past year. When takon into con
sideration the fact that the Rails
County mine has attained depth OF
only 200 feet. and that the heavy
values and big ere bodies in the ad-
iacant mines such as the Gardner,
California ana Hiddea Treasure have
made their largest production below
the present depth of the Rails Coun-
ty, it is reasonable to supposc that
the production OF the Rails County
will equal that OF any OF the neigh
boring properties.
From the 500-foot level TO the 100
foot level, no work had bean done
until the present company had com
menced operations about year ago
l feel safe in saying that the recent
development in the Rails County
property is opening up one or TN
largest and most valuable bodies o
ore that have been discovered in tn'
Quartz hill district for great mum
Der of years. 1t is not the object o
the company at the present time Il
extract any more OF the ore thai
they will have to do in doing tn
development work. in view OF tn
fact that the company is contemplat
ing either the construction OF mil
or the purchasing of one of the mill
already in existence in the count
and equipping the same with moier
appliances for the treatment of tn
ore In the extensive reserves e.
posed.
"The recent find in the 50o.foc
level is more extensive than first al
ticipated At point $50 feet cas-
of the shaft in this level n larg
body of ore is exposed. A winze
being sunk at this point that show
vein frcm 3ia to 8 feet in widt
of ore containing value OF S2o.u
per ton. When connection has bee
made by this winze to the 7O0fot
level 1t will mean that one OF tn
largest bodies of ore that have bee
developed in this county for grci
number of years will thereby be e.
posed. 1t is the intention OF the con
pany to continue drift at the 30
foot level to encounter the san
body of ore that is shown in II
500 and the 700-foot levels. Whe
taken into consideration the fact thi
this will mean 400 feet in heighth al
in practically. all virgin ground
will mean to the Quartz hill distri
one of the greatest bodies OF o.
that has ever been discovered In Il
district When the company has co
structed q mill for the treatment
this vast body of ore or made son
arrangements for It's treatment tn
will be satisfactory, 1t will only
question of very short time unt
the Rails County property will be ol
~ tho largest Oroducors that ha'
