WILL BE SOMETHING DOING.

H. C. Eastman,a former well-known
operator of Gilpin county, has been
in the city this week. Mr.. Eastman
is again thinking of venturing in Gill
pin county mines and will close a
deal for one of the best known prop
critics In the camp within the next
few weeks. He promised an Observer
one of the best pieces
OF mining news given out in long
time as soon as plans are completed.

The down train Monday afternoon
jumped the track while heading in"
at Guy gulch. The smoker failed to
take the switch and was thrown cross
ways Of the track. No one was injur-
ed. Guy gulch is a meeting point Of
the north and south bound trains. The
up train was waiting when the coach
left the track and blockaded traffic.
1t required several hours to right the
coach and consequently passengers
on the up train were delayed In
reaching their destination.

Recently Sedwick, Colo. preach
er adver.ise to preach n sermon on
q certain Sunday evening to explain
how and where anybody and every
body could get most attractive
home. absolutely free. The church
was not large enough to contain the
crowd which turned out to hear how
to get something for nothing. as such
a proposition always draws n crowd.
Then when the preacher told them
that the home was in heaven and 1t
was free to everybody, the indignant
congregation talked strongly OF de-
porting the dominic for having drawn
q crowd to church on false pretenses.

IN THE WAY OF SUGGESTIVE.


held up the miner ever since com
plicated ores have been put on the
market.t was simple enough to work
the free-milling gold ores. The old
arastra with the aid of quicksilver
seemed to give some sort of salts
faction as to results as long as the
ore was free from complex minerals,
which, If they did intrude were lost
in order to save the gold. Then the
stamp mills intruded, but they were
on par with the original system;
they did not render much assistance
over the old way. But the stamps
are practical enough for the purpose
Metallurgy exacted a fair toll at
first for ores that could not be sue
cessfully handled by the stamps. But
in these latter days the exactions
OF the smelters and other processes
place the miner at their mercy, save
and except where the mine manage
ment has gone into the business of
treating ores independently. The min
er has been aided by cyaniding, and
where the mine is a large one and
can stand the expense of establish
ing an Independent plant has proven
a solution Of how best to get all the
returns and retain them. There is
that much more profit
Could all the big properties resort
to this sort of system the output
from the mines would be largely in
creased. Compared with the results,
the system of extraction is far from
simple. 1t would require such a large
outlay to establish even the simp-
lest process. Proving that while met
allurgy has devised ways and means
it is far from cheap.
Were the individual miner able to
handle all his own ores. and thus do
away with freight and the toll ex-
acted for treatment, every mine of
consequence could retain practically
all the proceeds. Alas, such is not
the condition. But repeated sugges-
tions have been made along lines Of
concentration. To eliminate all the
gangue, retaining only the minerals
would go far toward solving the prob
lem of regaining more than is now
allowed the miner.
OF course as all the mines are not
abundantly supplied with ore it must
continue to work hardship on the
small producer. But his troubles coult
be minimized were a plant establish
ed in every mining camp producing
a sufficiency of ore where concentra-
ton would be undertaken. While this
would help If the charges were reas-
onable and the process were not ;co
Ions Grawn out, a plant Of the kind
could be established iL cooperative
way. thus the large as we'll AZ the
small producers would come in for
better returns from their ore than
now. But metallurgy would still be in
control. The concentrates would need
be treated and the charges might be
prohibitive. Successful concentration
and the profitable treatment of these
will return bigger profit than now.

THE NEW AND THE STRANGE.


zinc deposits near Fort Collins, Colo,
and the exploiting Of the veins of
mineral in the Gors range are the
latest in mining IN Colorado. 1t is
remarkable that SO much zinc should
have been uncovered OF late. The
new finds at Leadville and elsewhere
have forced this sort of mineral or
metal into the foreground. Some
thing no miner was particularly an
xious to locate let alone work. OF
course large quantity and high
enough grade to pay would be just
as desirable to the miner as any
other find.
The mines at Kremmling are diff
thusiasts believe they have another
Cripple Creek The mineral does look
well, but it takes more than that to
make successful mining district.
A few more-or should these two
new mining sections prove important
enough to attract large number of
people it will stimulate mining in
other sections. Unquestionably Colo
RADIO has great deal Of mineral yet
to be uncovered and much will be
uncovered in the old districts like
Gilpin and adjacant territory.
One of the best known mines and
one of the first located in Colorado,
recently made as big a strike as any
in it's history. The property in ques-
tion has been working off and on for
forty years and would seem to be
better now than since it's location.
This merely emphasizes the i'm
old, tried and best mines Of any dis
trict. One cannot go far wrong when
they view the old mines with more
favor than any new discovery. Un-
less the mines are phenomenal at
the start, it would be better to stay
with what is konwn to be all right.
With a history like Gilpin coun-
ty, an owner in one Of the mines
is taking great risks in not staying
with what is known to be good.To go
to other districts in the hope Of bet
terment is not advisable. With a well
developed property here, to be drawn
from that in the hope of betterment
elsewhere is a poor policy. 1t will re-
quire considerable expense to open
up a new section. While hero one
need only make the selection from a
number OF good and already extensive
ly exploited properties. Many can be-
gin with a well defined vein and If
things do not turn out as anticipated
there would seem, in most cases. as
though something were lacking in
the operator or operations.
OF course where a miner feels that
it were wrong to leave any opportun-
ity go by to require mining property
that is the kind who invariably gains
by his operations. That class are de-
sirable in any community and they
can be depended upon to stay with
their find till results of a paying ma
ture begin to show. However. the
old districts especially like Gilpin, can
be depended upon to give up consider
able values to any enterprising miner
who may care to embark in a reliable
district. Instead of tramping over
the hills in search of new thrills in
mining, quicker returns can be had
by taking over some one Of the we'll
known properties here. Give it SER
ious thought and then try 1t.
