The death of Colorado's richest

came near being bankrupt by the loss
Of a big roll of money. II was soon
after he established a bank at Cen

bank and the funds were getting pret.
ty low. Two of the attcahes OF the
bank got a vehicle and started for
Denver to obtain what was on de
posit there to the banks credit,
amounting TO $4,000. They obtained
the funds in greenbacks and put the
roll in flour sack ana started for
Central. The treasure was placed be-
tween them and they drove as fast
as possible, and were supposed TO
have taken a drop too much on the
road. Some distance below Black
Hawk they came to wagon loaded
with hay, which they passed at a
rapid gait and were soon out of
slght. The hayhauler was walking be
hind his wagon and happened to
notice what he supposed to be an cid
sack in the road. He picked It up
and thrust it into the load of hay

consequently his untimely demise is
a decided shock to friends.
Deceased was born in Germany,
February 21st, 1865. He had been n
resident OF Gilpin county 20 years

Want QUARTZ
HILL PROPERTIES
FRENCH CAPITAL INVESTlGAT,
ING RICHEST SECTION IN GIL
PIN COUNTY WITH A VIEW OF
ACQUIRING MINES. SENT EN-
GINEER HERE TO REPORT.

Mermann G. G. ChOfehrn, mining
engineer and metallurgist of Paris,
who was here week ago inspecting
properties on Quartz hill, before leav-
ing for France said he was highly
gratified with the mineral showing
of that particular section of Gilpin
county which he had examined. Mr..
or banks of the French capital
that make heavy investments in the
purchase and operation of mines. Mr.
Chofehrn was sent here to look over
this locality and is to make report
TO his people upon his return to
Paris. From what was CLEANED in a
conversation had with the engineer,
his report will be a favorable one.
In this event the French bankers
will acquire through purchase and
lease some of the largest and best
producing mines on Quartz hill and
will put them in operation.
Mr.. Chofehrn, in capacity of min
ing engineer, has visited the prin-
cipal mining centers Of the United
States and foreign countries and
when he speaks well of district his
endorsement carries with it great
deal of weight. OF Gilpin county, the
gentleman said it was one of the
greatest camps he had ever visited in
all of his extensive travels. He said
the possibilities here are wonderful
beyond the realization of those who
have known the camp since its early
discovery. He recognized, though ,as
one must who is versed in the
science OF metallurgy, that the dis
trict is IS years behind the times in
the method OF treatment of ores.
In speaking along the line of prop
er treatment for the ores of this
county, he said he was familiar with
a process that would handle the ore
of the Quartz hill district and make
a great saving. He said the system
he would recommend that his people
adopt in case they acquire the prop
critics on Quartz hill that he inspect
ed, would return a handsome profit
ON ore running as low as s2.65 per
ton. He said the process was not a
new one particularly as it had been
used for some time by the Germans
and French. According to Mr.. Chof-
ehrn, the process he has in view, is
well adapted to the character of ore
found in the Quartz hill section.
Mr.. Chotehrn became enthusiastic
over the new road that is to be ex-
tended from the Moffat line to Cen
trail City and could see where the
completion of the project together
with proper ore treatment, Gilpin
county would shine as the banner
camp of the west The gentleman
will be in Paris until the early part
of January, consulting his people in
regard to the situation in Gilpin
county and the wonderful mines he
inspected while here.

INVESTIGATING
PACT0LUs ROAD
EASTERN CAPITALISTS HAVE
MEN IN THE COUNTY LOOKING
OVER THIS PROPOSITION AND
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE
LINE WILL BE BUILT.

L. V. Lewis, who came here a week
or ten days ago in company with r.
A. Hall on an inspection tour of the
Central City and Pactolus railway
proposition, returned Tuesday morn
ing from hurried trip to Chicago,
where he went to report the result
of his investigation to the syndicate
he represents.
While he was attending the meet.
ing held by his people, the report of
Fred B. Silsbee, the Chicago attor.
ney, who came to Gilpin county with
Mr.. Lewis to look into the legal
status of the old corporation and the
present ownership of the five miles
of grade on the right-of-way, was also
received.
At this meeting, Mr.. Lewis stat
ed to an Observer reporter, it was
decided that Mr.. Hall could be Of no
further value to those who intended
to complete the construction Of the
road and was therefore dismissed
from the connection he has long held
with the proposition as its directing
head. Mr.. Lewis stated that Mr.. Hall
now has no connection with the road
whatever.
Mr.. Lewis was instructed by his
people to return to Gipin county
and complete his report, which will
require four or five weeks. Mr. Lewis
says if the arrangements he now has
under way with different interests
can be completed, the money will be
Forthcoming to start work of finish
ing the line.
Mr.. Lewis said that once his peo-
pie start work, the construction of
the road will be pushed with all pos
sible speed as they will in no sense
be handicapped for lack of funds. The
work will be prosecuted on an extern
sive scale and track will be laid on
the grade now completed and con-
nection made with the Moffat road.
With this piece of the road finished
an engine and steam shovel can be
used in grading a long stretch Of that
yet to be completed.

VERIFYING THE TRUTH.

Constant reiteration that Gilpir
county can furnish capital with that
which is far better than can be found
elsewhere, is bearing fruit The num-
ber of new undertakings of late is
gratifying. There is no need of enum-
Grating. A constant reader has be-
come well posted, and, if he con-
tinues it will be possible to learn
in a general way all that is to hap
pen in these hills.
| 1t has been said that the old own
ers of mines have well passed into
inactivity owing to age. But the
mines remain, as Hayden said-to
be worked as long as man could do
1t profitably. 1t is newer generation
that is acquiring possession of prop
critics OF shallow workings. They rec
ognize the expense attendent upon
taking over the deep mines. That is
good judgment number one. Still,
good property along the course of
the Newhouse tunnel could receive
much aid. There is drainage, big
item on the expense side; ventila-
ton is another great factor. But if
impossible to benefit from this prop
critics well equipped can be had. A
few additions-but the requirements
might be different in every mine op-
Grated, SO that can not be discuss
ed.
After all, many of the properties
not working is net because of an
, ,tipathy to mining, but, as said, the
old owners have become incapaciat-
ed through age. leaving them to
those with no inclination or enthus-
iasm for the calling. causing the
properties to remain idle for years.
This state of affairs has been re-
will bear repeating. Many had the
| idea that the slump were due to
worked-out properties. If there are
any such in this district it would
save time, labor and expense in their
exploiting.
But the new operator cannot hope
TO step in and take possession of
the first property he may observe
ard gain a fortune. He will choose
the best CT the offerings. To discern
these he must rely on information
and Judgment. There are residents
who might narrate Incidents OF
nearly every property in the district.
These, if they cared, could aid an
1 investor in the selection of a mine.
There are really excellers properties
: in the hands of old residents. They
have become apathetic owing to the
seeming hopelessness of doing any
thing with their very own. But they
retain hope of some one coming
along able to help or return them
of the property entirely. A great deal
CT this sort Of thing has transpired
during the year. Much more is GER
/ tain to follow, for the Observer pro
poses to continue to tell the world
what good thing exists in these
hills for those mining inclined
When all the best are in the hands
CT operators it will be great salts
faction 10 the ObserverIt will be
able to say all has been verified. Not
one word of exaggeraticn or un
truth uttered. All has come out as
said. The evidence is too apparent
to be misleading. This paper would
be sorry were all not able to realize
on their investment. But they would
need not be compelled to start blind
ly. Many properties have very prom
ising indications with veins already
exposed. These are offered those car
ing to embark in the enterprise. Come
now. or you may be too late.

WHAT IS REQUIRED.

The efforts making to gain results
possible the working of many mines
with millions of tons of this class Of
ore. The profit will arrive mostly
from the oldtime dumps of which
Gilpin county has a number likely
to prove profitable to those with a
successful process.
So much has been said of late
concerning number of processes
for handling low-grade ores. The OBJ
server is not advocating any sort of
a system of treatment. Once on the
ground and showing results that sys-
tenn will be the very thing for these
hills. The system has not arrived;
not, at least, to the knowledge of
this paper. However,it may put in an
appearance any day. Till then the
miners will increase the dumps, but
continue to sell the better grade of
ore to those that need tilt was the
intent to discuss the possibilities Of
q
much profit could be expected by
handling such. 1t would seem, that,
while much could be gained, one pro-
cess is not likely to be available in
all mining districts. What would
prove profitable in one or two min
ing sections might result in loss in
q third trial elsewhere, owing to the
different chemical constituents of the
ore.
Success would seem to hinge on
cncentratioon chemically. If only the
sangue could be eliminated leaving
the metals, even the pyrites, all
would be we'll. 1t must come to that
in order to make mining extra pro-
fitable. The Observer is quite fam
iliar with that which can turn
rocks to jelly or harden them; or
the process for chemically segregat-
ing or maintaining metals in solu-
ton. These cost time as we'll as
possible to fix on a cheap process
one that could produce results at a
cost OF one dollar and half or less
per ton. This is being accomplished.
That is, the gold is saved at the ex-
pense of the other contents of the
ore No process will prove a success
till 1t can retain everything of value
in the rock. A piece of ore from a
Gilpin county mine may have as
many as a dozen different things in
its make up-metallic and non-metal-
lie.
They say the Germans can save
everything in piece of mineral.
Here, too; but at a price greater
than the contents of the rock. II
gold were TO predominate in the ore
treated, profit might result were
everything saved.
1t would be narrowing the topic OF
mining to fine lines could every
thing from a mineral vein be saved
at profit. 1t is amitted that most
anything, of which chemistry has a
knowledge can be segregated, bu:, as
said not cheaply.
The topic may be little in ad-
vance of that which is already ac-
complished. But If great profit is ex'
pected from mining the whole of the
mineral vein must be saved. There
must be no waste, nor one metal
saved at the expense of the others
Think Of discarding the silver, lead
copper, zinc or any other metal al
in combination in one piece of rock
in order to save the gold. That is
what some of the cheaper processes
means. There is too much prodigality
in mining. 1t was worse in times
past. Science is working up to econ
omical processes and ere long may
solve the problem CT saving every
thing in the, orc at a profit.
