A Large Vein Opened Which Prom.

Denver Resident Here.

The snail has shed its shell and
Gilpin is coming out of the ebay
rip Van" has awakened and found
that he is good for something. We
might mention that politics, wood
ticks and berry pickers seem to be
the order of the day, although we
are not neglecting the mining side OF
the question.
Among a few recent visitors We
might mention some that were here
during the comatose period. Prof C.
G. Stewart. who formerly was res
ident of Denver for nearly six years,
and an old time assayer, and now a
professor in the Western Normal
college, of Shenandoah, Iowa, spent
week investigating the American
States Mining and Milling company's
property and in general the camp.
We are proud to learn that Mr..
Stewart was highly pleased with the
camp. and incidentally made a good
report on the property. He makes the
statement that there is more here
than is generally believed by most
people; that the main drawback is
sufficient capital, handled in a judi
cious manner, to properly develop the
resources. Gilpin takes off her hat
to the professor.
NJ. NJ. Parrish and grandson, of
, Manhattan, Kans., stopped off for a
week on their way to Red Cloud,
, Neb. Mr.. Parrish was surprised to
find such good prospects, as nearly
, all visitors are, who stop here lorg
enough to investigate a little on
their own account. He was quite in
terested and says he will return.
F. Raynard, of Fort Morgan, Colo,
spent several days with us and is
very much interested, and will in all
probability close a deal which is now
pending.
The Misses Helen Jorn and Stella
Hubbard, of Boulder, We're here for a
weeks outing. They think there is
no place like Gilpin for a vacation.
The young ladies' while here walked
to Central to attend a meeting. If
any Of the young fellows of Gilpin
are looking for girls with grit. this
should be sufficient demonstration.
John Satterlee, Of Centraf, made a
short visit with Henry Niccum Sun.
day.
If We have overlooked any Of the
late callers, please excuse us as our
eyes are hardly open and the fog
hasn't cleared from our brain.
P. Peterson discontinued work on
his placer last week on account of
water. We did not learn the amount
taken out, but judging from the pleas
ed expression, he was well repaid for
his trouble. He found several fire
nuggets.
Dennie Sullivan is still placering
and is getting some splendid coarse
gold that would make you sit up and
take notice.
B. L. Gibson has been opening up
some good-looking quartz the pas:
few days.
]. Haverstahl made business trip
to Denver last week.
Mining is not all there is in this
camp. Thomas Tregay has just COM
pleted putting up fine crop OF hay
from his meadow. which he has had
cut for some time. Last week he
butchered fine veal, to which the
writer can testify from personal con-
tact with same.
Especial attention is called to the
Niccnm. Murray. Harding and Collins
strikes. These men have been doing
considerable work during the past
year and have recently opened UP an
ore shoot that promises them rich
returns. The shaft is down about %
feet. They have large vein with a
fine-grained iron streak about fee.
with mill dirt of 4 to feet. The in
trusion on the surface is nearly 100
feet. This is splendid showing and
they expect to commence shipping in
a short time.
The Gilpin King, a we'll known
property, is being opened up, a new
shaft house erected. and an eight
horse power gasoline hoist being in
stalled. This property he's been lying
idle on account Of difference among
the holders. which has been salts
factorily adjusted by one party clos
ing out to The other. The present
owners report encouraging returns
from samples taken. We wish then
success, as they surely deserve 1t
taking hold and pushing work under
such conditions.
