BULLION WILL COME BACK

Rollo E. Capp. the mining
engineer, and Col. H arvey, who is
interested in mining properties in
Bullion, gave this office q call this
morning. Mr.. Clapp. has just
returned from making a thorough
examination of the Alpine-May-
flower group Of claims in Bullion
and speaks very highly of the
geological formation Of the camp
and the prospects for the develop
ment of big, paying mines.
This group of claims is under an
option of Salt Lake and Oregon
capitalists, who as soon as the
weather will permit will put
machinery on the claims of suffic-
ent capacity to sink 500 feet. 1t
is their intention to drift 800 feet
along the vein on each 100 foot
level. This will make a total of
1000 feet of drifts and should
thoroughly explore and test the
property.
The tile to the group of claims
has been settled and the Stormking
mining company incorporated.
Mr.. Clapp will finish his work
here this afternoon and will leave
for Salt Lake tonight. He has
made a thorough examination of
the geological formation of the
Bullion district and pronounces it
one of the best he has ever ex-
amined. He says the formation is
the same as that of Bishee,
Arizona, which has produced a vast
amount of copper. AS Mr.. Clapp is
one of the leading mining experts
of the country, his opinion on the
old camp should encourage those
who have stayed by it in its
| darkest days.
With the advent of the Storm
king company will dawn a new day
for Bullion. In years past the
camp has turned millions Of dollars
into the channels of trade and
commerce and yet the surface has
been hardly scratched over. That
there are millions m ore in those
hills waiting for enterprise and
capital to develop is plain ly shown
by Mr. Clapp's report on the dis
trict. We hope that he and his
associates will strike it rich and
that the Stormking may become
one of the best producing mines
in the country.

and one of the mills Of the American
Beet Sugar Company, are located here
Among the other industries, are plant
for moulding cement blocks, ice and cold
storage plant, and electric light. The
retail stores carry general assortments,
and the people buy at home. The railway
is the Santa Fe. On the south side Of
the river is the main line to Denver and
California, and on the north drop con-
meets with the "sugar road. "
Holly, on the north side Of the river,
in the eastern part Of the county, has
1900 inhabitants. 1t has municipal
waterworks and sewers The water is
pumped from well Of great depth, and
distributed from an elevated tank. This
water is Of the finest quality. The same
water is found all over the county, and
is used generally by the towns along
the "sugar road" The wells are about
800 feet deep, and the water rises to
within fifty feet of the top. The COM
munity has the usual good schools
required by the law Of Colorado, and
graduates from the high school are ad-
mitted to the state university on their
diplomas. There are the usual churches,
lodges, and culture clubs. The stores are
frst-class. The "sugar road" branches
from the main line of the Santa
Fe Railway here. One of the mills Of
the Holly Sugar Company is established
here. A great deal of broomcorn is
shipped from here, besides cantaloupes,
celery, and other garden products, and
alfalfa and livestock.
Another town on the main line Of the
Santa Fe in Prowers County is Granada,
midway between Holly and Lamar.
It is one Of the Oldest communities in
the Valley. Its principal industry is
livestock.
