William Hurst and son came down
from Washington gulch where they
are prospecting for placer gold and
gold bearing quartz veins. They
brought some fine samples OF ore
which they left for testing at the
assay Office. Mr.. Hurst is making
n systematic search for the veins.
which furnished the old gulch with
its plentiful supply of gold that was
washed out many years ago, ne
states that there are two kinds of
placer gold to De found up III the
guich which he distinguishes ~
white and yellow gold, the white
coming from the Gothic mountain
side of the .gulch while the yellow
the Pittsburgh side of the divide.
The white gold carries about one
half silver in the flakes and nuggets
washed out while the yellow gold
will run ninty per cent fine gold.
Mr.. Hurst had some placer ground
located about three miles north OF
Pittsburgh that was very rich IN
yellow gold which panncd well at
the very surface of the ground and
every pan of dirt washed out would
color. This ground is now being
thoroughly pfospected and it Is
thought that it can be made to pay
when the water has been brought
in from the main stream above the
placer dcposite.

NORTH FORK ROAD
ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

Geo. Schacfer came over 1r Jnl MS
ranch between BeckWith and Mar
cellenn mountains last week and isi
very anxious to see some work done
on the wagon road between Irwin
and the horse ranch. He states
that two men working for ten days
would put the road in Il passablc
condition for wagons with moderate
loads. He has been taking his wae
on through as the road now is. but
cannot haul much. 1t is hoped
that Commissioner Whalcn willgivc
the help needed to put the road in
condition 10 do some hauling over
as there are n number OF new ranches
being taken up over there and they
will all be benefited if they can
haul their supplies in instead of
having to pack them over on horse
back. 1t is highly important that
the state go ahead and finish this
road within another year for this
will be ali that is necessary to the
settlement of nearly all the country
between the Horse ranch and
Somerset. The snow fall is not sd
great in that locality as here or at
Jacks Cabin, and all kinds OF veSe-
tables may he grown there and son,c
varieties fruit rs well and the wint-
ers are shorter by month or six
weeks than here at Crested Butte.
There will be heavy traffic at once
established between here and the
North Fork country when once the
wagon road is completed from
Irwin to Somerset and Paonia. 1t
will be great treat for the Crested
Butte people to hitch up their teams
| in the morning and drive over to
the Paonia fruit orchards in less
than one days drive and then bring
back IL wagon load of choice ripe
fruit that can be selected, picked
and packed right in the orchards.
Mr.. Schaefer states that he has tim
othy in his mcdow waist high aud
spucs already ma turing, while gar
den truck is going to seed now.
There is no question respecting the
the conditions of soil and climate
there, being better adapted to grow
| ing almost anything than here on
account of the summer season being
longer and more heat to bring out
the full growth and the the matur-
ing of all kinds of vegetables. The
trouble with us is that late and early
frost frequently destroy our potatoes
cabbage, beans, peas etc.. which
rarely ever fully mature here as they
would down in the valley and loot
hill ranges below Mafcellena noun
tain. When we gctthe wagon road
open for traffic, we shall not Only
get fresh ripe fruit, but all kinds OF
full grown vegetables will he brought
to our doors by the ranchers who
arc now settling up that rich agrl-
cultural district.

THE GOTHIC DISTRICT

There is proably no more promls-
ing mining locality in the country
than may bc seen III the old Gothic
district although very little is doing
in that locality at the present time.
There is no mistaking the fact that
there arc many large veins of rich
ore to lie seen in the mountains that
tower above the old town that carry
all kinds Of rich silver, icnd copper
and zinc ore none of which are
being operated at this time. There
are dozens OF old prospects in that
locality all having good ore IN sight
some of which have never been tci-
ted for gold or silver values contain
ed. A sample was taken from one
of these old abandoned claims re-
Gently which showed over twenty
ounces in gold to the ton of ore be-
sides some silver values. 1t would
seem that those mining i'll tins
country are inclined to depend up
on the finding OF ore somewhere IN
the distance instead nf looking for
it at the surface outcropping of the
veins. There is no Necessity OF run
ming blind tunnels here to discover
veins of ore, az the mountains are
scored deep enough to expose veins
to a great depth and ore may be
found outcropping in these veins at
the surface in almost every gulch
in the surrounding mountains. The
Gothic district affords wonderful
Opportunities for deep mining by
tunnelGng and when a vein or veins
of ore have been discovered that
seem to justify deep mining by tun'
nelling, almost any depth may I've
obtained by this method of devel-
opment which docs away with the
necessity of pumping water or hoist
ing ore or waste from deep shafts.
There are other possibilities in the
Gothic district which should not be
overlooked and that is the proba-
bility of the discovery of some rare
and valuable minerals that have
heretofore been overlooked. The
prospector nowadays should post
himself a, ito what kinds OF ores
are the most valucable and he pre-
pared to distinguish them when -ln
sight. Doubtless there are many
rare and valucable minerals IN
mountains whose existensc has not
yet become known and never will be
until some one comes along with the
knowledge necessary to distinguish
and recognize these substances and
appreciate their valacs.

from Mexico City to the New York
News Bureau says that Majors Cuesta
and Zarate of the stan of General Fe-

Diaz. The president. it is stated. has
been subjected to pressure TO save
Diaz while his immediate advisors
are warning hmm that unless sum-
