WORLDS GREATEST
RADiUM FIELD HERE.

Colorado has the greatest supply
OF radium in the world, stored in it's
mineral districts, says NJ Henri
Chagncux, the eminent French min
eralogis. expert, of the biological
labcratcry "Du Radium," in Paris.
Monsieur Chagnoux has just returned
f-oy examining mines in the state.
said to contain great quantities Of
the precious metal discovered by
Madame Curie, the French scientist,
in 1906.
NJ. Chagnoux speaks no English but
does all his interviewing through his
wife, who is highly cultured and
speaks the language fluently. When
interviewed at his suite in the Shir-
ley hotel NJ. Chagnoux was very en-
thusiastic concerning his mission to
this country.
Il am here for commercial develop
men: Of the famous metal only" said
he, and not in the interest of science
as many of the papers have assert
ed"
Quartz hill in this county, has large
deposits Of the richest uranium ores
SO far discovered. NJ. Henri Chag-

FRoNTENAc REPORT.

From the London office Ct the
Frontenac Consolidated Gold mines,
located in this county, it is reported
that the mill in Black Hawk ran 500
hours in the month of July, treating
4,160 tons Of ore, of which 3,460 tons
were from the slopes, valued at 1910
per ton. and 69S tons from develop
ment, worth Sc to the ton. Smelter
returns Cor July footed UP s26,750,
and expenditures at mines ard mill
$1S,20O. Net profit for the month,
$3.50. Cost Of development at the
mines drawn against the special fund
o. $4,000 voted at the last annual
meeting, was $3.50. 1.-The increased
profit for July" says the report, is
due to the large tonnage milled and
to general improvement in the
grade O. the ore, both from slopes
and development" To pay dividends
of 10 per cent yearly on F-ontenac
shares requires net profits Of S12,-
500 per month. With the mill handling
$50 tons daily, instead Of 40 tons,
the dividend requirement can easily
be doubled.

Next President
Will Resume

! Mr.. Guy Ewing, F. r. S. B. A.. of
London, Eng, left for London, Mon
day, after spending several days In
vestigating the affairs CT the old
Great Bonanza Company, Limited,
which formerly operated the Next
President mine. together with the
Empire mill in Black Hawk.
The property of the Great Bonanza
company has been acquired by the
Colorado Mining Syndicate, limited,
which is capitalized for eS5.0oo or
1925 100000 in American money. The
property acquired by the new syndh-
cate includes the Next President mine
together with the Empire mill In
Black Hawk, which has a capacity
and equipment of 35 rapid drop
stamps and modern concentration ia
cilities. The Next President mine
had an enviable reputation under the
operation of Messrs. Taylor and Wal
liam Lindsey who made production
of several hundred thousand dollars
from the property some thirty years
ago. The Next President is a com
tinnaton of the Foot and Simmons
vein which had great record as a.
gold producer in the early days Of
the camp. Mr.. Ewing goes back to
London to report to his associates,
who will undoubtedly order the re-
sumption of work ON the mine at an
early date. The shaft ON the Next
President is down 500 feet and
has large bodies of ore exposed In
the present workings. This property
has produced quantities Of free gold
ore in times pas. as many OF the
leasers CT the camp can testify. The
bulk Of the milling ore averages bet
ter than three ounces in gold On the
plates to the cord, while the smelt-
ing grade returns from $4,000 per
ton up to picture values.
English mine investors appear to
better appreciate the worth Of this CT
iginal camp of the western country
than many OF the modern local cap
italists who have been more attract
ed during the past decade to irriga-
tion and other enterprises that appar-
emily offered better returns for their
money but have fallen down when the
dividend period arrived
Gold mining with it's associate ores
was the foundation of this common
wealth and will continue so when
this generation and the next will have
passed to the Great Beyond, as the
treasure house that nature planted In
these eternal hills is practically In
exhaustible as far as human nature
can predict at the present outlook.

REPUBLICAN GRAND
JURY DISMISSED.

Judge Mccall made a special trip
from Golden last Saturday to meet
with the grand jury, which had been
called in session for that purpose.
The Judge complimented the Jury
on the work they had accomplished
during the three months that they
had been in session and stated that
by their efforts he was satisfied that
open gambling had been eliminated
and that the midnight and Sunday
closing law was being observed by
the saloons in the county. The fore
man Of the jury reported that he
knew OF no further work in sight for
the grand jury at this time ard had
nothing new to report since they had
reported last to his honor the Judge.
Judge Mccall stated that this grand
jury was the first and only one he
had called during his four years on
the bench representing the six coun-
ties in this judicial district. He then
ordered the jury discharged from fur
ther service, stating that Il the nee
essity arose on account of the lax
enforcement of the laws in the near
future, he would impanel another
jury.
The taxpayers of Gilpin county will
have to foot the bill of expnese that
has been incurred by the reason of
enjoying the luxury of grand jury
that has cost hundreds Of dollars that
could well have been avoided, had the
judge simply called the proper Off
GERS Of the county before him and
reminded them of their duty under
the law.
The mass of evidence and testi-
mony that had been gathered by the
grand jury was ordered by Judge Nc
Call to be filed with the clerk of the
district court, subject to the inves-
tigation and action OF the district
attorney. This may entail still fur
ther expense to the county.

Buckley Mine
in Bonanza Ore

This weeks development on the
Buckley mine which adjoins the fam
Gus Gunnell that has produced UP
wards OF eight million OF dollars in
the yellow metal, shows in the 100
fcot and 2O0foot levels body of ore
on the hanging wall that assays from
a sample taken three feet in width,
2O.36 ounces in gold, 7.4O ounces in
silver. A value Of s411.64 per ton
for the gold and silver alone. This
body of ore is impregnated with
black copper suIphurets that have
not been assayed. AS to the width of
the vein, the footwall has not been
reached in cross cutting. The high
grade is found on the hanging wall
which is slickensided.
Manager Ben. T. Lloyd has been
prospecting and prosecuting develop
ment work on the Buckley mine for
the past four months. This new
strike was far beyond his expecta-
ticns as the vein is generally thought
OF as a large low-grade proposition.
Manager Lloyd is a practical miner
f-cm Utah and has the benefit of
years of experience in the mining
districts of Bingham, Me-cur and
Beaver, also in the state Of Nevada.
sA carload shipment OF this ore will
be smelted at once. Were this strike
made in any Of the boom camps of
the west, horde of spectators and
tin-horns" would be in the field in
such quantities that the railroad
could not handle them. But here in
Old Gilpin it receives but passing
notice. In behalf OF the Utah stock
holders who have put up their money
to finance this enterprise, the OBJ
server wishes them all success.
