The death of Frank Grabmair, Sr.,
was a shock to the early settlers of
the county He passed away at St.
Joseph's hospital in Denver, last Sat
urday. The funeral services We're held
Tuesday at St. Mary's Catholic
church. where in spite of the inclem-
ent weather. many old time friends
Of the deceased were present. He
came to this county in the early SOS
and followed the occupation of mining
until two years ago when he retired
and took up his residence in Denver.
At his demise his age was 5S. He
leaves three sons, Joseph and George
Of this city, Frank, of Denver, and a
daughter, Mrs. George Hamllik. De-
ceased was prominent in mining af-
fairs in the county, having been sue
cessively in charge of the Saratoga,
Notaway and Barnes mines.

The Galena leasing pool is making
steady shipments to the smelter and
mills. The last settlement returned
two and one-hak ounces gold to the
ton, with screenings bringing one and
one-half ounces gold and mill ore one
ounce. Development continues on the
45O-foot level, driving west, where it
is expected junction of four veins
will soon be had. The pool has sew
eral sets of leasers at work in ad-
dition to their own operations. A
very heavy tonnage has been brok-
en- this month, which is expected to
give higher returns than heretofore.

FORMATION OF
THE PLACERS.

Sometimes portions of vein be-
come disintegrated through the
agency of water trickling down along
and between the stratas of rock
forming the surface crust of the
earth. The water in crossing the
vein percolates through the ore and
decomposes the vein matter" then,
continuing on between the stratas of
the formation, work. down to the
gulches and streams where the early
prospectors found their free gold. )"
This process of disintegration, or OK
idation, frees the gold from the other
metals at the place in the vein where
the water crosses, and, with the wat
er. the fine gold gradually works
down to the placer washings." BY
means of chemical action, when con-
ditions are favorable, the fine gold
dust sometimes collects and forms
into nuggets.

Under the able management of Mr.,
Thomas Reynolds, the Gilpin- Orion on
Bobtail hill, is making great head
way as a producer of the yellow
metal. An electric fan has been in
stalled at the collar of the shaft to
remove the gas encountered at the
215-foot level. This gas has hindered
the sinking of the shaft until ar
rangements We're made to obviate
same. Drifting operations have been
in progress on the 215-foot level both
east and west, with the result that
shipment from the east side has
returned $1,000 per ton in value. On
the west side of this drift a showing
of iron assays better than two oun-
ces to the ton in gold, with mill ore
running one and one-half ounces gold
to the cord. The bottom of the shaft
workings shows a four-foot crevice of
milling grade with an iron streak that
assays above two ounces in gold to
the ton. With the new ventilation ap.
paratus installed, the shaft will be
sunk to further depth at once.
Gilpin observer., 1912-12-19

Supt. Tom Martin, on the East Not
away, expects to finish the sinking
OF the shaft to the old 6O0-foot work
ings this month. This new shaft was
started at the 200-foot level and con-
tinued on the south vein, the old
shaft having left the pay vein at this
point, which neessitated much cross
cutting at each level to reach the
pay vein. When the shaft workings
break into the 600foot level, it will
Immediately be sunk a further 400
feet to open and block out new
ground. There are, six sets Of leas-
ers working on this property who are
getting average returns for their ore
of from 3 to Z ounces gold per ton.
A large tonnage of this ore is ship
ped direect to Denver.

DEEP MINES AND
REFRACTORY ORES.

/. The early prospectors and miners
knew nothing about fissure veins,
and if they had and had succeeded
In locating one it would have done
them no good, for they would have
been unable to have sunk shaft
down through hundreds of feet of SOL
Id rock and run crosscuts and levels
into the vein at numerous points be-
low where it had become practically
barren of gold values due to the
transfer of the gold from that por-
ton Of the vein to the placer"
Even if they had accomplished this
work, and succeeded in handling the
water in the mine, the ore obtained
would have been useless to them, as
they could not have extracted the
gold ut profit by any method then
xnosSn. II is only within "a compare
lively recent period that science has
perfected methods bby which gold
may be economically extracted from
rxlf ootp
Gilpin observer., 1912-12-19

Although considerable gold has been
obtained from placer washings,' -
there never was any assurance of per
manency or. uniformity in the pro-
duction from placer" claim. The
mine ended when the claim had been
worked over. We now go to the foun-
tain head. We go to the great gold
bearing veins in the hills and noun
tains from which, for century after
century, the gold has been slowly
working down into the "placers."
PERMANENT
MINES.
With the whole earth in a molten
state, the gold, silver and other met
ais. because of their specific gravity.
naturally would be found at great
depths-theoretically at the center of
the earth. When the rock which now
forms the crust of the earth began to
cool it began to contract. This con-
dition produced tension within the
cooling crust of rock and pressure up
on the molten masses of metals and
other substances beneath the crust.
The tension caused great fissures, or
cracks, to split open in the rock, ex-
tending from the surface to depths to
which no man has yet been able to
penetrate. The pressure exerted up
on the interior molten masses forced
portions up to the surface through
the fissures in the rock. These mass
es which have been forced up throue
the fissures, and within them cooled,
are found to be impregnated with
gold in combination with other min
erals, and, in many cases, the gold
values increase as depth on the vein,
or fissure, is attained.
When a mine is located on fis-
sure vein, the mine owner has an
inexhaustible body of ore to draw
from. The mine cannot be worked
out. The only real questions are %
how many tons of ore can he handle
day, (2) how much will it cost him
much will it cost him per ton to ex-
tract the gold from the crude ore?
With the proper mechanical applian-
ces for working the mine and the
proper plant on the premises to ex-
tract the gold values, he can manu-
facture gold from the crude ore in
place in the mine at a cost of even
as low as one dollar per ton of ore
Notwithstanding upon locality and
| cost of skilled labor.
VEINS THAT ARE
NOT PERMANENT.
During the period when the gold
bearing veins were forming, the mol
ten mass in passing up through the
fissures has sometimes overflowed
and filled in a large surface crack
or cavity in vicinity which does not
extend down to the bowels of the
earth. but, perhaps. is less than even
Numbered feet in depth. This kind
of mine Is not fissure vein, and
would eventually work out. Not sc
very many years ago no man could
tell what kind Of a vein he was on
nor how soon his mine would be
worked out. Science. however, has
demonstrated certain indisputablt
facts. and the miner is no longer ii
doubt as to the character OF the weir
which he Is working.
In certain localities the veins
which at one time might have beer
true fissures, have been broken III
and thrown out Of place by subse
'quent volcanic action. In regions

The Social Event

The local management positively
guarantees and recommends Paul
Gilmore as one of the best attrac-
tons that has ever appeared here.
His reason for SO doing is that he
has read the actual newspaper criti-
csms from most of the cities in
which this company has appeared
and they all speak in the highest
terms of Mr.. Gilmore, his play and
company and state that the scenic
investiture is magnificent. But aside
from this guarantee the fact that
the play has enjoyed successful two
years in London and New York
should make it worthy your patron
age, especially when it is now be-
ing presented to you by Mr.. Paul
Gilmore, who must be capable, or he
could not have toured as star SO

CANNED BABIES AND
CANNED FARMS

The. latest way to farm is to
stay in Chicago or some other
congested center and con6de your
money to:a corporation that buys
large areas in the Far West. and
does the business with machinery
and hired hands, while you ''en-
JOY the great profits without toll
or discomfort"
Wonder how it will work!
Our observation is that if there
are two things that require the
personal attention of their best
friends, those two things are
farm and a baby.
7 Theoretically, you can demon
strate that it is better to leave the
care of the farm to trained man
ayers, and better to entrust the
baby to educational and hygien-
ic experts.
Practically, you lose your farm
and your baby because you cam
not delegate the cultivation of
soil or souls to alien hands.
There's spiritual factor in the
equation that you overlook.

variety-of canned things in these
days, but let's not try to have
canned farms or canned babies.

LOOKS LIKE SHUT DOWN
IN SOFT COAL MINES
Cleveland, o.. March 2o.-A
temporary suspension of work in
the soft coal mines will begin,
April /, coincident with walk
out in the anthracite region, &C
cording to developments here to-
day.
In fact, trouble in the bitumin-
Gus districts is considered even
more certain than in the hard
coal districts. John P. White,
president of the United Mine
Workers of America, said today:
"The soft coal miners will not
recede one inch from their orig
inal position. They are going to
stand for an increase in their
wages. If the operators do not
make concessions suspension of
work is inevitable"
Chairman ]. c. Kolsen of the
operators emphatically declared
today that the operators would
not grant the demand of the min
ers. Instead, the employers are
after reduction of 10 cents a ton
in the price of coal mined.
With the operators and miners
20 cents a ton apart, the only
thing that can avert strike is for
the employers; to retreat from
their position. A compromise on
the present scale will not do, de-
clares White.
